From beyond the vastness of the ocean They carried their cross to our homeward shores Clad in robes of purest white Carried idols of gold we were told to adore Priests of mercy their self-righteousness Challenged just by their need to obey Their distant shepherd who told them to convert The heathens of lands far away In their wake their men were marching Who traded their crosses for swords of steel Made to sacrifice the sinners Who refused to kneel to their god‘s mercy Ancient idols toppled and shattered To pieces in religious zeal For those who refuse the lambs of the shepherd In Rome bore the license to k** So pray to a deity of cowardice Mercy, forgiveness and love Join his herd of sheep And wait for your slaughter To join all the angels above Join in the Wild Hunt For wolves in sheep's clothing Thor and Odin We'll never deny
Rampaging hordes Of wolves in sheep's clothing Feel our loathing We'll stand in your way The Norns already spun the thread Your empire shall not last forever Behind your hypocrisy lies What all you white-dressed sheep still dread But by the time the thread'll be cut You'll share our fate in d**h The souls of our departed Will greet us with merciful laughter Despite your efforts By the golden gates of Asgard We'll stand and we'll laugh at the wretch Whom you're calling your Lord Join in the Wild Hunt For wolves in sheep's clothing Thor and Odin We'll never deny Rampaging hordes Of wolves in sheep's clothing Feel our loathing We'll stand in your way Our gods ain't dead, they are just sleeping In the trees, in the glades, in the rays of the sun And even if you raise a few more crosses All Pagandom rises, as our spirit lives on
