tragedy and triumph - i, triumphant lyrics

“we are the warriors! we defend the realm of the gods
let’s prepare for war, for the defeat of the weak
we are ment to fulfill, the duty of our horde
so sharpen your blades and build up our defence
tomorrow we will water our fields with their blood
freya and odin shall feast from this blòt
at daybreak they will come to be swallowed by our soil!
for all eternity, our folk shall sing our songs!”

after his rageful spеach, gísli held up his jug
and hailed to the god’s, with high spirits in thе eyes
the village elders viewed him with some mistrust
and huddled together, as if we’ve already lost
while the lofty men roared back to our hall
the vǫlva went away and vanished for good

gísli’s megalomania heralded our doom
i rushed to my family, as their banners loomed afar

i cried for thor, as our hut was empty
“where did you leave my family?!”
i grabbed my saex and the axe
and ran back to alert the others
the squalls were absorbed by enemy h+rns
while i reached the gruesome slaughter
i tried to hide, but soon got cornered
by two men, who tried cut my head off
i fell down, while evading their swings
on the ground, i chopped ones leg off
and threw the axe, into the other’s face
then i heard the screams of my daughter
that came directly from the north wall
i followed her shrieks, passing by rape and torture
at the hall, i saw gísli captured
the enemy jarl, just granted his last words
i heard him yell: “i triumphant!”
the man replied: “and yet you die like an infant
as you were blind, to see the path to glory.”
i left him die, to save my daughter
at the wall, our soil was soaked with our blood
and left no drop for the living
