Free Will Sacrifice
Defiant Sacrifice Amidst Overwhelming Odds
Lyrics
See them gathered on the plains now
Observing a group assembled on the open lands
See an army strong and vast
Witnessing a powerful and extensive army
As long as one of us remains here
Asserting that as long as one defender remains, the opposition won't succeed
None of them will ever pass
None of the adversaries will overcome the defenders
Here they come so raise the shields high
The approaching enemy prompts raising defenses
Like wolves they show their teeth
The opponents display aggression, akin to wolves baring their teeth
None of us will ever yield now
Firm resolve to not surrender to those who scavenge or prey
To the scavengers beneath
Refusing to yield to opportunistic attackers
We're outnumbered ten to one here
Acknowledging being vastly outnumbered but embracing the challenge
Still I love the odds
Expressing admiration for the unfavorable odds
We will sacrifice them one by one
Planning to eliminate the adversaries one by one in sacrifice
Send them off to the gods
Offering the defeated foes to the gods as sacrifice
Soon we will be gone
Acknowledging imminent departure from life
A free will sacrifice
Describing a voluntary sacrifice made with free will
As free men we are born
Asserting that individuals are born with freedom
And free we shall die
Asserting that individuals will also die freely
Here they come ten thousand strong
Describing the arrival of a strong force of ten thousand
Charging up the hill
Charging aggressively up a hill
This day will be both hard and long
Anticipating a challenging and prolonged day of battle
They move in for the kill
Preparation for the enemy's imminent attempt to kill
Hold the line don't let it break
Emphasizing the importance of maintaining the defensive line
Use your sword and spear
Encouraging the use of weapons like swords and spears
A glory death for all awaits
Belief in a glorious death for those unafraid in battle
All who knows no fear
Valorizing those who face danger without fear
Hoards of men they beat the shields
Describing the adversaries' attack on the defenders' shields
Like waves they break away
Comparing the attackers' assault to waves breaking
We face our woven destiny
Accepting and confronting the predetermined fate or destiny
And we don't fear the grave
Embracing the lack of fear towards death
Soon we will be gone
Reiterating the impending departure from life
A free will sacrifice
Reaffirming the voluntary sacrifice undertaken freely
As free men we are born
Reasserting the inherent freedom in birth
And free we shall die
Reiterating the willingness to die freely
