My Ancestors' Blood Lyrics - One Man Army - Ensiferum

Not just for victory 

Not just to crush your enemy 

Not just for heir to be 

But for this moment and to fight the injustice... 

It was written long ago 

This is what I've been told 

An army came across the sea 

To conquer this low land 

The lured with their lives 

Shouted "peasant, kneel or die!" 

Outnumbered, undaunted 

War cry rose to the skies

On the homeland of the raven 

Where the eagles scream at daybreak 

And the clang and clash of armies 

Beautiful the strife for conquest 

Rains came over to the north 

Floods of lies to drown the old gods 

A storm rose within the hearts of the enslaved 

Ode for my ancestors' blood 

The seer foresaw the curse from above 

Like a roar of approaching giant horde 

In the moors and in the marshes 

On the borders of the woodlands 

The marched like approaching giant horde 

When I yield my life forever 

Bravely will I fall in battle 

Fall upon the field of glory 

Beautiful to die in armour
