A celebration of the rich history of the Anglo-Saxons, both in the Homeland and the Diaspora.
VERSE 1:
With the fall of Rome’s empire comes the advance of a new nation
Of Angle, Saxon, and Jute joined, tribes of the North Sea migration
They’ve made Logres land their home, with Briton blood they’ve mixed
It’s a story of centuries, the story of the English
Bridge:
The blood of our people… blood of our name
Blood of our people… blood of our name
Westward they sailed through North Sea, British lords need men for hire
Advanced on the breast of Britannia, Albion’s seed to sire
The Word came forth, a symbol, the blazing Cross of Christ
Yet in our blood we remember the runes, and the magic of solar device
Repeat Bridge
CHORUS:
Sons and daughters of Anglo-Saxon Nation,
Britannia, she calls to you
Heirs of Britons and North Sea Migration,
The test of history you must prove
God of Fathers, grant us strength
To crush the Normans, Danes, and Franks
God of Fathers, grant us strength
To crush the Normans, Danes, and Franks
VERSE 2:
Alfred King of Wessex stood alone against the Danes
Their ferocity could not prevail against his ealdormen and thanes
England divided by Danelaw, England united by foe,
Take the Thames and re-found London, watch the kingdom grow
Repeat Bridge
Repeat CHORUS
VERSE 3:
A fateful year, 1066, a year of war and woe
King Harold Godwinson at the Stamford Bridge put paid to the Norway foe
With treacherous Tostig defeated, only William still loomed large
At Hastings we advanced, could not stop the Norman charge
Repeat Bridge
Repeat CHORUS
VERSE 4:
By Norman yoke our nation was chained to Frankish demesne
Contended with the Capetian kings, for territory they had claimed
Fought and bled for Angevin ambition till Anjou had been lost
Carried Cross of Christ in Holy Crusades—salvation, but at what cost?
Repeat Bridge
Repeat CHORUS
VERSE 5:
Exploration, New World age, once more west the ships set sail
To verdant Virginia they came, made a plantation in Plymouth soil
Thirteen lands sought liberty, after French were put to flight
Washington our Father led Continental Army to crush the royal might
Repeat Bridge
Repeat CHORUS
VERSE 6:
The modern world we created, an age of decadence and hysteria
Zealous and anxious we despise our fathers, and liberty dies in America
A plague of guilt and madness, tell me what it could all mean
Is this the end of Albion’s line—will our people ever be redeemed?
Repeat Bridge
We’re the Atlantic Anglo-Saxon folk,
We’re Albion’s sons, breakers of yolks,
Though our nation suffers in ignominy
By blood of our people, we shall be free!
Repeat CHORUS
Second CHORUS:
Sons and daughters of Anglo-Saxon Nation,
America calls to you
Albion’s seed of Atlantic Migration,
The test of history you must prove
God of Fathers, grant us strength
To crush the weakness in our ranks
God of Fathers, grant us Your strength
Crush the weakness in our ranks
