lyrics

Over a score of nobles slain by Widukind
Two envoys cut down, the third flying with a tale of woe
Mighty Prince Carolus girded with gleaming arms
And plumed helm marched upon the men of Saxony with vengeful haste
Massacring them through bloodied shields and bellicose spears

Strength of courage and blood smeared arrows won the field for the king
Dragging the surviving forest dwellers to Verden
There on the banks of the river Aller
With a word from his iron tongue the headsman's axe fell continuously on

Time and again
Bathing the fields crimson
As heads did begin to roll
Those spared the blade’s caress coerced to bathe in the water
Promising their immortal souls
To a god not of their ken

Despite this humiliation Saxony continued
To resist in vain
Their ancient ways forbidden
On pain of torture or execution
