Let the shaman cast the runes Is it today that we should strike? We don't want to take them on Without the gods on our side See the ravens in the sky What do the paths of their flight portend? If we go forth and face them now Will there be death waiting at the end? It was an omen A message of fire from the sky A candle of doom in the night It was decided if we were to conquer or die Hear the witches chant their spells What do their strange melodies foretell? Whichever way it's destined to go They can be sure that we'll fight them well It was an omen A message of fire from the sky A candle of doom in the night It was decided if we were to conquer or die At dawn we faced them We gathered beneath a red sky The hills hearkened our battle cry It was decided if we were to conquer or die
