lirik lagu draugûl – anno domini 991
in the year of the lord nine~hundred ninety one
through the black waters the northmen doth come
thus faced by byrhtnoth, of the rebel saxon tribes
who denied paying tribute as history to us describes
byrhtnoth shouted to the northmen, in defiance and in pride
“we will pay you in spear tips
and the sword blades by our side!”
hatred spread like a plague as the saxons invited war
let the raiders cross blackwater, and thus opened helheim’s door
linden shields against the axes, aloft they were struck
the battleh~rn awaited so to strike the foe amok
so as the tide receded, the norse blades struck the skies
and with a cry for odin, charged with raven eyes
spears met the raiders’ army, and with pride defended land
to withhold the wolves of odin, with the mighty saxon hand
nordic shields were shattered as the rebels strived to fight
in memory of their fathers, they struggled to last the night
but the gods of war were summoned, and gave favour to their kind
the nors~m~n trampled byrhtnoth, in vain, tribute he declined
saxon steel was splintered, against the bold axe of the north
the raiders crushed their enemy and claimed the land henceforth
the routed shores of maldon were now stained with saxon blood
their corpses lay along the river, trashed and mangled in the mud
warriors lay there broken, praying to the man nailed on a tree
for they accepted a false idol who came from the southern sea
in vain they changed allegiance to this god from the east
neither could he save them from the hordes of nordic beasts
