Lord I bring home tidings of gold and of slaves
Lord I have found salvation, our people are saved
We can sail from the fjord, take this land as our own
We can cross the barren sea and build a new home

How long can I stand idly by
Watching and waiting our people are wasting away
I will fight and I may die
Before I let you take all I strived to keep alive

You wish to sit on your throne growing older and colder
While your subjects grow louder and bolder still
Sick to the teeth of your lies in disgust they will rise
To drag you from your bed and leave you dead by the shoreline

Behold the red dawn
The quake of a new day
No longer will we sit in silence
Our hope has been reborn through violence
Mistakes will fade away
From all of our memories
Stand tall beside me brothers
Now begins the uprising

How long have I stood idly by
Watching and waiting our people are wasting away
Now is the time to do what is right
Burn the throne, rebuild our home and dine in blood this night

Your reign will end in the blink of an eye
You will not be spared, it is fated you will die here
By my axe or by my sword, I am sorry my lord
Do you have any final words?

Freed of your blackened crown
Battered and buried beneath the clouds
Valhalla's doors, you will not see
Upon this mired earth you will be left to bleed

Behold the red dawn
The quake of a new day
No longer will we sit in silence
Our hope has been reborn through violence
Mistakes will fade away
From all of our memories
Stand tall beside me brothers
Now begins the uprising

I had to redefine
What I have learned about leading a good life
It isn't always true
What you think you know, the future may just surprise you
Do what you can
Never succumb to the will of a bitter man
He will lead you astray
As the red sun rises to the break of a better day

A better day still awaits
Give not to me
Give in to fate
Live for the life
Your dreams create

Behold the red dawn
The quake of a new day
No longer will we sit in silence
Our hope has been restored

Behold the red dawn
The quake of a new day
No longer will we sit in silence
Our hope has been restored
Mistakes will fade away
From all our memories
Stand tall beside me brothers
Now begins the uprising

Our hope has been restored
Our faith has been reborn
Freed of mistakes we made
And returned to better days

Our hope has been restored
Our faith has been reborn
Freed of mistakes we made
And returned to better days

Our hope, our faith
Have returned to better days
