Ensiferum - Heathen Horde Lyrics






Too many times has moon travelled across the sky,
Since our fathers sailed out for glory and honour,
It's time to fulfill the vow once given,
Forge your plows to swords, send the word,
Raise an army countless as stars in the sky.

[Chorus:]
All heathen hearts,
Answer the call,
God of thunder bless our swords,
Our heathen horde,
Will never fall,
We are hungry for blood, steel and war.

Filled with strength, valour, determination,
Determined to conquer the land,
There is no power,
In their weak invocation,
Puny invocations to their feeble god,
Desecrate and drown it in their blood.

[Chorus]

Ósnjallr maðr
hyggsk munu ey lifa
ef hann við víg varask
en elli gefr
honum engi frið
þótt honum geirar gefi
[English translation:]
A coward believes he will ever live
If he keep him safe from strife
But old age leaves him not long in peace
Though spears may spare his life.

Row!
Storm is getting near,
Row!
I can see land ahead,
No!
Show no mercy for the weak,
Gold, land and women are ours to take so kill!

[Chorus]

  1. S.... S....

    After hearing this, I'm wearing my Viking helmet, drinking from my ale horn and going to conquer a snowy territory!!!

  2. T.... ....

    I vastly prefer singing over grunting. This band is capable of sustaining melody and harmony, so I'd like to see them go in that direction. If I wanted Amon Amarth, then I'd be listening to them instead.

  3. W.... A....

    Put my Wardruna Spotify playlist on last night to fall asleep to because I got way too high and needed to calm the fuck down. Next thing I know me and my girlfriend get woken up to this at 3am lmao

  4. D.... H....

    Reminds Of Old School Manowar \\m//

  7. G.... B....

    whos the guy with the sword and shield in the clouds? :o

    G.... B....

    no He appears on every Ensiferum's album. I think it's their talisman. The latin word Ensiferum means "an armoured man"

    G.... B....

    Väinämöinen.

    G.... B....

    @Daniil Skobëlkin "sword bearer?

    G.... B....

    It is Väinämöinen, he is basically the Thor of Finnish mythology. A godlike hero whose adventures are told in the Kalevala collection of myths.

  8. A.... ....

    can't go through the comments without seeing a curse eg.Fuck,Shit

    A.... ....

    C.... C....

    +Tayyar do you even english bruh

  28. N.... L....

    I have to say great mixing, loud voice is the best, it was way to low on the previous album.

  29. S.... ....

    The mixing is atrocious. Great track. Shit Mixing.  
    Might be because it's a preview. Still though. Doesn't excuse shit mixing.

    S.... ....

    Shit Mixing... Great Track... Shit Mixing... Preview... Shit mixing...

    Just wait for the Album... Which is maybe going to be shit mixed...

    P.s.: Have you recognized the shit mixing?

    S.... ....

    @T. St. In fairness to him the newer version does sound a lot better

    S.... ....

    SiriusXification True, I always thought this album sounded kind of plastic-y/overproduced. Raw productuon usually does extreme metal justice.

  30. j.... ....

    Awesome! Can't wait for their new album.

  31. S.... W....

    I want a Finish to translate me the Finish part of the song!

    S.... W....

    @Sylvanas Windrunner

    Icelander here.
    It's old-norse and I'd hazard a guess that most Icelanders will at least get the context of it.

    "Ósnjallr maðr
    hyggsk munu ey lifa
    ef hann við víg varask
    en elli gefr
    honum engi frið
    þótt honum geirar gefi"

    Translates to.

    "A foolish man
    thinks he will not live
    if he goes to battle
    but old age
    will not give him peace
    even though he has spears."

    S.... W....

    +Sylvanas Windrunner HAIL SYLVANAS!!! ò,..,Ó\m/

    S.... W....

    +Sylvanas Windrunner This is Old Norse, and Icelanders or Faroese people are able to translate this thing, cited from Havamal.

    S.... W....

    Its not finnish, but ancient north language kind of icelandic

    S.... W....

    hey sylavans gratz on being new warchief

  32. T.... ....

    awesome!
