lyrics

The world has changed
The time of honor and pride
Was left behind
We have forgotten
Our heroic past
Our ancestors were
The guardians of their land
And we must

Be worthy of it,
Be worthy of their meritorious deeds,
But we can only satisfy,
Satisfy, satisfy, satisfy our needs!

Defeating the enemy
They drove him homeward
The deed must be
Completed
He who lives by the sword,
Dies by the sword!
Ceterum censeo
Carthaginem delendam esse!

Unto enemy women –
To be murdered or raped
Unto their children –
To be enslaved

Those who'd been here before us
Truly believed in their God (or Gods)
They had an unwavering faith
We must punish apostates
For their souls to be saved
Death for beliefs
Is a supreme grace
No matter if it's yours
Or any other living being's

To sit on throne
Is a privilege of a chosen one
This power is from God
Serving people
And ruling them
At the same time
The authority inflames
Passions and minds
It is inherited from your father
If you’re his blue-eyed boy
Or by slaying your brothers
Also pretending to the throne
