The Lyrics
Another Asatru parody, part two of a three-part project.
We are Heathen, hear us roar
Though we're few, you can't ignore
We're not weekend Vikings trying to pretend
We've revived our ways and lore
from a thousand years before
We won't let the racists keep us down again
Oh, we've heard the lies
told in ignorance and fear
They claim Nazi ties
That's what some folks want to hear
If we have to, we'll show everyone
Hate is wrong (wrong)
Indefensible (indefensible)
We are Heathen
Misconceptions, they won't break us
No, they'll only serve to make us
More determined to live true, for that's our goal
We will trust the gods more strongly
Though folks represent us wrongly--
They have deepened the conviction in our souls
Yes, we've heard the lies
Told in ignorance and fear
But debate won't suffice
We will show them while we're here
Show we're true when we do anything
Hate is wrong (wrong)
Indefensible (indefensible)
We are Heathen
We are Heathen, watch us grow
See us standing toe to toe
As new kindreds hail the gods across the land
But we've still got lots to show,
lots to let the people know
What we live for isn't hard to understand
Yes, we're on the rise
Our religion is for real
But debate won't suffice
We must live the way we feel
Show we're true when we do anything
We are strong (strong)
And we are visible (we're visible)
We are Heathen
Oh, we are Heathen
And we are visible
We are strong
We are Heathen
And we are visible
We are strong
We are Heathen
[repeat and fade]
Though we're few, you can't ignore
We're not weekend Vikings trying to pretend
We've revived our ways and lore
from a thousand years before
We won't let the racists keep us down again
Oh, we've heard the lies
told in ignorance and fear
They claim Nazi ties
That's what some folks want to hear
If we have to, we'll show everyone
Hate is wrong (wrong)
Indefensible (indefensible)
We are Heathen
Misconceptions, they won't break us
No, they'll only serve to make us

We will trust the gods more strongly

They have deepened the conviction in our souls
Yes, we've heard the lies
Told in ignorance and fear
But debate won't suffice
We will show them while we're here
Show we're true when we do anything
Hate is wrong (wrong)
Indefensible (indefensible)
We are Heathen
We are Heathen, watch us grow

As new kindreds hail the gods across the land
But we've still got lots to show,

What we live for isn't hard to understand

We are Heathen
Oh, we are Heathen
And we are visible
We are strong
We are Heathen
And we are visible
We are strong
We are Heathen

This is very, very clever and well-done, Ingeborg. 5-5-5...
As Paul says.
As John Barry says.
By Thor, this is good.
May Valhalla bless you! :-)
