From the hill I've the fire burning in the town
Spirals of black smoke rose to the sky
We were out for hunting, far from our helpless home
Faster than wind we rode and rode
When we reached the village, scream and pain
It's been attacked by the enemies
They raped our women, killed our sons
Raid and burned all the things we had
When I saw those ruins, once I called my home
Embers still burning, a terrible sight
Desperation broke my heart, fury's blinding me
I heard the weak lament of a known voice
When I reached my loved wife, I was crying
She was lying under the ruins
On the point of her death, with her last breath,
With pure beauty she whispered:
Hungry for vengeance, my heart's full of rage
Return with your shield or on it!
Fuelled by anger, driven by hate
Return with your shield or on it!
I closed her eyes, then vengeance called my name
Memories of the past were storming my mind
I took the axe in hand and jumped on my horse
We galloped hard to take their heads
When we reached the enemies, I laughed
They made their worst mistake
We have nothing left to lose, our vengeance will be done
Like in a nightmare they will pay
Hungry for vengeance, my heart's full of rage
Return with your shield or on it!
Fuelled by anger, driven by hate
Return with your shield or on it!
