The Alliance lyrics

Over de Noorder zee, doelgericht, met vaste hand

Snijden onze schepen door de golven naar het Brittenland1

Ver van huis en haard waar Urth2 onze draaden spon

De toekomst verweven met het land daar aan de horizon

Strijdend voor een vreemde heer, in een oorlog ver van hier

Betaald met nieuwe grond onze toekomst in ’t vizier

Angel, Jut, Fries en Saks strijden zij aan zij

Samen in ons streven, het nieuwe heim nabij

See their ships cutting through the mists

As whispers in the wind herald our bliss

Forces from abroad have heeded our call

An alliance is forged to aid us all

Their ships have crossed the cold waves

Our allies, crawling every river, every stream

Saxons on our shores bleeding for our cause

Deeds to our land, reward their stand

The wind now whispers of a threat in the east

Friends will be foes as the alliance is breached

See the fires burning in the heartlands

Our enemies, crawling every river, every stream

We thought our salvation emerged from the channel’s violent waves

Yet we invited our doom, for you intended to stay

You betrayed us and degraded, you took our hearts away

You dubbed us “stranger” and called our lands your own

1. The Britons called upon Germanic mercenaries to help them protect their lands. But the mercenaries didn't come for gold, they demanded land. Their intention was to stay. But when the Britons turned down their demand the Saxons turned against them. They slaughtered their leaders and gained control over their lands. More and more Saxons settled in Britannia and drove the Britons to what is now known as Wales. The native tribes now had become strangers in their own land.2. https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urd
