1361 (A New Dawn) Lyrics


Sails are sighted in the west

30 ships clad in white and red

Church after church sound the alarm

Their bells the heralds of imminent death

Beacons, burning

Church bells are ringing

Ships have been sighted

The enemy is coming

German mercenaries under danish flag

Teutonic plague to wipe out the resistance

On the wall stands the bourgeoisie

In safety, in silence, as the country side bleeds

Unarmed fathers, helpless sons

Generations wiped out, beheaded by pride

A shower of steel tipped horror

Nothing can protect from this piercing demise

Chain maille, sharp steel,

crossbows, morning stars and shields

Against a huddle of farmer sons on the open field

Their blood absorbed

by the very soil they toiled all life

No heroes born

They never lived to see the New Dawn

A NEW DAWN!

As the sun bakes the decomposing corpses,

hastily disposed of in five big holes

Negotiations take place

The key to the south gate is handed over

Gate? We dont use no gate!

The proud intruders tear a hole in the wall

13 soldiers, shoulder to shoulder

March in victory through the piles of rubbled stone..
