With Your Shield Or On It 歌詞

From the hill I've the fire burning in the town Spirals of black smoke rose to the sky We were out for hunting, far from our helpless home Faster than wind we rode and rode When we reached the village, scream and pain It's been attacked by the enemies They raped our women, killed our sons Raid and burned all the things we had When I saw those ruins, once I called my home Embers still burning, a terrible sight Desperation broke my heart, fury's blinding me I heard the weak lament of a known voice When I reached my loved wife, I was crying She was lying under the ruins On the point of her death, with her last breath, With pure beauty she whispered: Hungry for vengeance, my heart's full of rage Return with your shield or on it! Fuelled by anger, driven by hate Return with your shield or on it! I closed her eyes, then vengeance called my name Memories of the past were storming my mind I took the axe in hand and jumped on my horse We galloped hard to take their heads When we reached the enemies, I laughed They made their worst mistake We have nothing left to lose, our vengeance will be done Like in a nightmare they will pay Hungry for vengeance, my heart's full of rage Return with your shield or on it! Fuelled by anger, driven by hate Return with your shield or on it!
