Nordafrost - Defence lyrics

As the first rays of light Climb over the line of the horizon We're lurking on the tops of sturdy walls Men at arms their lungs filled with the winter's breeze Down below salty waves beat the rocks Our fortress withstands the teeth of time I feel the weapon cold and moist in my hands My eyes are more than awake focussing out to infinity Chorus: In the grey raging seas up north The defence stands strong as a rock From the coastal fortress high above We are defending the winter's realm Then we can see them coming from the south Having embarked a thousand miles away Their objective is to defeat us And finally to invade the frozen fields behind our lines Willing to avoid this at all costs We are awaiting their approach An unimaginable tension in our limbs Waiting to have them in range of our arms Chorus The moment has come at last It's time to open fire A hundred blows crashing out of our tubes The earth quakes from artillery longing for cannon fodder Fatally surprised no time to fire back The Saracens abandon their crippled ships Smoke fire pieces of wood The invaders fleet : No more than pitiful remains... Chorus Victory for the northern defence!
