We plan to kill the king tonight Before he wakes from sleep His foreign blood makes him our prey The barbarian king, he must not rule on If it costs us our lives, he will be undone We open the king's chamber door Ready to conquer As we find Our plans were betrayed all along The barbarian king, he must not rule on If it costs us our lives, he will be undone With his sharpened steel He took off the heads of men We were all dead or frozen in fear The barbarian king, he will now rule on It cost us our live In chains our people carry on
