Ensiferum
Fatherland
[Verse 1]
In the shadows of a mountain
A fearless guard is hidden and alert
From the darkening horizon
From high above, closing in, an imminent threat

[Pre-Chorus 1]
The sound of the battle horns
The beat of the drums of war
Remind us what we are fighting for
Attack, sons of the North!

[Chorus]
Heathen pride will not bend
Will not die, will fight until the end
The song of freedom over the thousand lakes understand
We have to stand until the final man for Fatherland

[Verse 2]
Times were different
When our sails struck fear in enemies' hearts
These cowards talk of honour
But flee with their winged beasts of metal

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Archers, release the rain of fire!
[Chorus]
Heathen pride will not bend
Will not die, will fight until the end
The song of freedom over the thousand lakes understand
We have to stand until the final man for Fatherland

[Bridge]
On the eve of the battle, the stars align
The outnumbered gather under the Northern sign
The ground rumbles, clashing the steel
No surrender! We'll die as we lived...free!

[Pre-Chorus 3]
In the face of conquerors' might
The true warriors stand and fight
For freedom, honour and ancient lore
We'll defend our land forevermore

[Chorus]
Heathen pride will not bend
Will not die, will fight until the end
The song of freedom over the thousand lakes understand
We have to stand until the final man for Fatherland
