Of Ancient Wounds Songtext
Once long ago
Guiding them across the open steppe
On their land, the sun god rose and set
They ran and rode like the wind
Their hearts and future open wide
As free children of the earth and sky
Brothers rise and greet the pagan sun
So long forgotten in the darkness
Now, praise the resurrected gods
Awakened from their age of silence (silence)
Then the enemy arrived
Bringing death and plague in their stride
The shadow of the cross spread far and wide
Now the destruction complete
Reign of old cultures obsolete
Waiting for centuries to be reborn
Brothers rise and greet the pagan sun
So long forgotten in the darkness
Now, praise the resurrected gods
Awakened from their age of silence
Just like the children of the plains
So long ago, so far away
Our forefathers shared the same forgotten pain
But now the silence will end
As the pagan sun rises again
Ancient wounds opened again
Crying to the winds for revenge
A thousand lakes, a thousand tears
Unspoken for a thousand years
Our scars have been buried deep inside
Anger took so long to ignite
And wash away the North Star′s pain
As the pagan sun rises again
Brothers rise and greet the pagan sun
So long forgotten in the darkness
Now, praise the resurrected gods
Awakened from their age of silence, yeah
Guiding them across the open steppe
On their land, the sun god rose and set
They ran and rode like the wind
Their hearts and future open wide
As free children of the earth and sky
Brothers rise and greet the pagan sun
So long forgotten in the darkness
Now, praise the resurrected gods
Awakened from their age of silence (silence)
Then the enemy arrived
Bringing death and plague in their stride
The shadow of the cross spread far and wide
Now the destruction complete
Reign of old cultures obsolete
Waiting for centuries to be reborn
Brothers rise and greet the pagan sun
So long forgotten in the darkness
Now, praise the resurrected gods
Awakened from their age of silence
Just like the children of the plains
So long ago, so far away
Our forefathers shared the same forgotten pain
But now the silence will end
As the pagan sun rises again
Ancient wounds opened again
Crying to the winds for revenge
A thousand lakes, a thousand tears
Unspoken for a thousand years
Our scars have been buried deep inside
Anger took so long to ignite
And wash away the North Star′s pain
As the pagan sun rises again
Brothers rise and greet the pagan sun
So long forgotten in the darkness
Now, praise the resurrected gods
Awakened from their age of silence, yeah
