Ein jotne skrik i lengsel
Aesar druknar i banesår
I sterke armar veks
Gangar full av råte
Fjella let seg ikkje
Lenger løfte
Berre trellen eig
Sin eigen fridom
Når kongar fylgjer
Kristenmanns lov
Kven skal bera fram sølvet
Kven skal vakta bogen
Kven skal døme rett
Når hjarta er av kol
Skinnlaus ormyngel
Kven vil vel kome til
Slik ei verd
Dei storme menn drep
Sitt avkom med sløve sverd
La dei angre, la dei lide
Men trøyst dei ikkje
Gje dei aldri handa,
La dei aldri sjå auget
Tannlaust kjøterpakk
Kven vil vel høyre på slike ord
Kvite krist drep si eiga mor
La dei fryse, la dei svelte
Men trøyst dei ikkje
Om dei få orkar turnen,
Skal me byggja muren
Om dei få orkar turen,
Skal me byggja muren
Om dei få orkar turen
Skal me byggja muren
[English translation:]
[THE HIVE]
A troll screams with longing
Gods drown in fatal wounds
Tunnels of rot grows inside
Strong arms
The mountains will no longer be moved
Only the slave owns his own freedom
When kings follow the laws of christened men
Who will carry forth the silver
Who will guard the bow
Who will judge fairly
With hearts of coal
Worm with no skin
Who would want to
Enter such a world
The great men kill their children with blunt swords
Let them regret
Let them suffer
But give them no comfort
Never give them your hand
Never let them see the eye
Toothless bastards
Who wants to hear such words
The white christ kills his mother
Let them freeze, let them starve
But give them no comfort
If the few endures the journey
Then, we will build the wall
If the few endures the journey
Then we will build the wall
If the few endures the journey
Then we will build the wall
