In times of old beyond the sea
When Wærmund ruled the Angelcynn
To him was born a worthy son

That would in time a hero become
Raiders from the borderlands
English blood on Myrging hands

The time would come for swords to shine
The time would come to draw the line!


Fifelfdor! Where Myrging blood was poured
Fifeldor! Where Angeln was secured
Fifeldor! Where Offa made his stand

Fifeldor! To hold the English land

Dishonour plagued his youthful mind

A shameful act by his own kind
And spoke he not a single word
But still with time he would be heard

Across the Eider Myrgings came
Demanding that tribute be paid
(to their Swabian overlord)

The time would come for swords to shine
The time would come to draw the line!


At Monster-Gate the duellists met
A kingdom's fate in Offa's hands
With Stedefæst prepared to strike

Steel would soon shine bloody wet
Around the Eider saw the crowds
A nation saved - a hero made

Knelt Offa at the Eider's flow
And cleansed the blood from on his blade


"And sweorde merce gemærde wid Myrgingum bi Fifeldore; heolden ford siddan Engle ond Swæfe swa hit Offa geslog"
