about

This song tells the story of the arrival of the Teutonic order to the Baltic countries, it is told from the point of view of an external narrator but also from the point of view of the Teutonics.
It is explained that they did not have it easy since the warriors they found there were fierce and fearless.

lyrics

Storming Baltic shores
Black crosses came for war
Knights of pope
Swords of God

Rage of holy see
Thirteen century
Spread the word
Shedding blood

Fierce winds blew strong
Through the hills
Carrying dead to those
who threatened Christianity

Bringers of salvation
Would drown them in holy blood
Heathens fought them back
With the strength of the ancient gods

A new age arise
Heathens would demise
Time to fight
Lords of light

They were on the way
Banners of crusades
Holy empire
Pope’s desire

Ride through storm
Ride to Novgorod
There’s no way to stop
The brotherhood of sword

Storming Baltic shores
Black crosses came for war
A realm was born
To god they swore

A new age arise
Heathens would demise
Time to fight
Lords of light

Give them fire !!
