[Verse 1]

The glory of your love

Is built upon our people's pain

And your glory is painted red

Of our noble blood you shed


[Verse 2]

You came and slaughtered Odin

You came and murdered Zeus

Our gods became your Satan

And strength became our god


[Refrain]

Ancient pride


[Chorus]

The ancient pride

Still burns within us

The ancient pride

Still burns within us


[Verse 3]

The wolf, the bear, the raven

Still guard the ancient soul

The ram will crush your temples

The bull will slay your priests

Honour, strength and joy

By force we'll purge our soil


[Bridge]

If this world knows no honour anymore

We will revive our ancient pride


[Verse 4]

You brought the faith of slavery

You crowned the king of slaves

And you raped and spoiled our beauty

But you conquered not our hearts


[Refrain]

Ancient pride


[Verse 5]

The woods became our shelters

The caves became our shrines

Hidden from the greedy eyes

Of your mad, merciful god


[Refrain]

Ancient pride


[Outro]

Beware the reprisal of our ancient pride
