Fifeldor Lyrics

	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
	Fifeldor! 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 had come for swords to shine
	The time had 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
	Old English: Ane sweorde merce gemærde wið Myrgingum bi Fifeldore; heolden forð siþþan Engle ond Swæfe swa hit Offa geslog
	Translation: With his lone sword he fixed the border against the Myrgings at Monster-Gate; ever since, the English and the Swabians have kept it as Offa won it.
