Tuhast tõus

Tõusku tuhast Taara tung
Seisku soopeal sõja sangar
Koolita kristlast kirvega kiskudes
Suruge surma suhu see saast
Kõlagu karjed kutsumata kõridel
Tasuge taplused terava tapriga
Matke mõistmatud metsa mulda
Pühkige puhtaks paganate põlised paigad
Hakaku hundid haudadel hõikuma
Kisage kõigest kõrist kutset
Nüsige noaga nälkija nägu
Söögu susi selle südametu südant
Pooge paeltega põlatud preestrid
Kiskugu kullid koolnu kallal
Rappa roiskuma roojane raibe
Vabasta vangist mu vaim vaene
Translation:
Rise from the ashes
Taara's call from the ashes shall arise
Let the heroic warrior stand on the marsh
Teach a christian with an axe
Force this filth into the jaws of death
Let the screams echo from uninvited throats
Settle the battles with a sharp spear
Bury the obstinate in the forest soil
Cleanse the ancient pagan places
Let the wolves howl at the graves
Shout the invitation from every throat
Cut the face of these leeches with a knife
Let the wolf devour that heartless heart
Hang the despised priests with ropes
Let the falcons tear at the corpse
Let the putrid carcass rot in the marsh
Release my poor spirit from captivity

Mu langenud vennad
06:03
|
|
||
|
Haudvaikne on hommik päikesetõusu eel
Just kui langetaks oma pea langenute ees
Kelle veri sind on toitnud
Kelle ihu sind on kaitsnud
Kuniks su pojad käivad oma isade jälgedes
Ei lange sa võõra võimu kütkeise
Et ei raugeks nende ramm
Kaitsmaks sind kurjadest kavatsustest
Mu langenud vennad
Ükskord me kohtume veel
Seisame taas kui üks
Kõrvuti, et kaitsta kodumaad
Külm vihm oleks kui pisar su palgeil
Ääretu soov pesta sind puhtaks minevikust
Viimaks ravida sügavale löödud haavad
Ometi ärgata vabana roostes ahelaist
Su muld on voodi, kus puhkavad tuhanded
Vastu tahtmist lõputule unele suikunut
Nende unenägudes oled sa vaba
Nende veri ei katnud sind asjatult
Translation:
My fallen brothers
Silent is the morning before sunrise
As if bowing your head before the fallen
Whose blood has fed you
Whose bodies have been your shield
As long as your sons follow in their fathers' footsteps
You shall not fall into the grip of alien power
So that their strength does not wane
To protect you from evil intentions
My fallen brothers
One day we shall meet again
Standing together as one
Side by side, to defend our homeland
Cold rain, just like tears on your face
An endless desire to cleanse you from the past
Finally heal the deep wounds inflicted
And awaken free from rusty chains
Your soil is the bed where thousands rest
Who unwillingly succumbed to eternal slumber
In their dreams, you are free
Their blood did not cover you in vain

Through the Forest

|

It is not night yet, but I am lying in the dark shadows
Cast by the trees tall enough to reach the sky
On the ground filled with ancient stones
Near the forest stream - untouched, and so clear
I stand alone
It would be the nicest spot to settle down
But it's not the new beginning nor the end
The book isn't finished this story is still being written
By the trees, by the ground, and by the stream

You Don’t Speak For Me
03:35
|
|
||
|
A bigoted self-proclaimed god
Trying to dictate
Who I can laud
Or choose to desecrate
Accompanied by whores
To whom unfaithfulness is primeval
Presumed their bodies were yours?
They now only worship the truest of evil
You don’t speak for me
You don’t speak for me
You don’t speak for me
You don’t fucking speak for me
Seen through the lies
Disciples have dispersed
The reputation dies
Nobody will remain coerced
Deceiver of all
Back to your filthy pit
In disgrace, you shall crawl
Humiliated, devoid of further verbal vomit
