Butcher's Bench

歌詞

Soldiers at fortress Dania, in you we trust For generations you haven't let this kingdom down We will soon have stopped this invading enemy And this war will once again be part of history It's so cold here in the middle of nowhere Just got command to retreat This bitter cold is taking the lives of my sons Artillery shells following our trail I just want to fight, I'm so bitter I just want to use my sword and kill Now we are leaving men behind Fighting a war that is already lost Oh, fortress Dania Our protector, our forefathers' grave Built by the old kings An honourable place to die While protecting the precious kingdom Our soldiers are marching Protect us from the lords of the south Protect our precious kingdom, protect our king Stand and fight Oh, fortress Dania, we leave you behind Our forefathers' grave, built by the old kings Where I was meant to die While protecting my fatherland Den skjærende Blæst, den fygende Snee, Mørket, Veiens glathed vare overalt eens. Endogsaa på Gaderne og de aabne Pladser i Byen og Omegnen, hvor Hestene overalt staae under aaben Himmel, bundne til Pæle, medens Soldaterne ligge ved deres Side, som de bedst kunde, maatte Mennesker og Dyr lide under det afskyelige Føre og kæmpe med den heftige Storm, som Himlen sendte dem, medens ikke faa af dem i deres Hjerte forbandede Kongernes Taabelighed, som netop vilde føre Krig i Vinterens Hjerte
