Under The Sword Lyrics

They burst through the gates

 with swords in hand they made their way

 cross the hall of the high lord.

 

 [Erik:]

 -As long as that man lives

 peace will never propagate

 between me and my brothers here

 so yield yourself to your fate!

 

 The king stood still in the back,

 grey in face and without will

 not knowing wrong from right.

 

 [Torgil:]

 -You have brought shame and disgrace

 to soil your fathers' name

 and heaven will not easily

 forget the game you've played.

 

 The limbs of the lord was chained,

 he was bound to a horse then they rode away

 through a cold winter storm.

 Travelling night and day

 through a kingdom of snow

 and finally arriving at

 the castle of his foes.

 

 He was shackled to the wall,

 in the tower high above the ground

 he was kept like a common thief.

 And meanwhile the brothers three

 feasted into the night

 and toasted time after time

 until the morning light.

 

 He was sentenced to death by the blade.

 In the name of high treason

 he died under the sword.

 

 [Birger:]

 -We have harvested the crops

 of the evil seed

 that grew between you and me

 but now united we'll lead!
