Dark days upon my dear kingdom Rumors spread as fire in the reeds My people stricken by cold anguish The smell of burning floats above our fields To crush the turk with iron hands Our knights will ride, when midnight strikes The army gathering like storm Sent by the raven king to war They coming hateful in their bloody thousands With weapons sharp and deadly, (devoid of mercy!) And many nations have already fallen Before the might of ottomans The enemy’s advance is to be halted Black ravens soaring high this day United under royal banners Earth shaking when they charge! The terrifying screams of both men and horses The clash of swords and commands shouted Many died this day and many fled the field Ambitions drowned in sea of blood and chaos The ravens soaring high this day! The black army’s marching onward! Fear will darken the invaders minds Crying to the heavens, hope abandoned! This fight is over, let the weapons rest The sound of trumpets rings through air Blessed was this day with luck and glory Immortalized in chronicles of old Yet be not blinded by the splendor Of victories and mighty deeds of war For enemy is always there and watchful Their wounds will heal, they’ll come again! Yet ravens claws are sharp and swift with anger To face the turks, the poles, the holy romans On land and sea, with guns and armor Sent by their raven king to war!
