Born For War Lyrics - Graveland

I was a child 

when they took me away from my family 

I remember long and frosty winter 

and people looking hopelessly for food 

from this ancient time 

our cruel lord ordered us 

to look as dogs eat christian children 

we were standing together and 

cold wind was freezing our faces 

our blood was hot 

we learned to worship death 

we were the children of his favourite herd 

future warriors, future wolves 

our cruel lord ordered us to drink human blood 

ordered us to eat human flesh 

I got my first sword 

I couldnt take it up easy 

But i had to take it up 

because I would be meat for dogs 

I know the true code of life 

spartan way of life, and draconian laws 

I've grown as a warrior 

close to nature, close to roots 

now i'm the cruel 

the last of the cruel lords herd 

When i was a child, i knew the cruelty 

I learned to hate everything I loved.
