Rising of tensions a forced conversion of faith
A forced conversion of faith
The fast approaching Christians
Must be held at bay
Novgorod is at stake
Of falling to the Livonian knights
Estonians, Germans, and Danes
Waging their northern crusade
Although our numbers are great
The opposition is strong
Our first fight was met with defeat
At the battle of Dorpat
Prince Herman must pay
For what he has done
First we must retreat
For new land to wage war on
Pulling back to the east
Though we won't claim defeat
The battle has just begun
Victory not yet won
On a lake we make our stand
Form the lines
Prepare to fight
A silence hangs in the air
Broken by scream the time is here
Charging into battle
Our lines hold strong
Knowing not what may come
Novgorod fought on
Volleys of arrows
Rain down from the sky
Momentum of the crusaders
Dies
Taking control of the battlefield
Flanking the crusaders their lines begin to break
Forcing them onto Peipus
A great and frozen lake
Cracks and moans beneath their feet
The ice gives way
Casting them into its depths
A cold and watery grave
Weighed down by their armor
No hope for escape
Volleys of arrows
Rain down from the sky
Momentum of the crusaders
Dies
Claiming victory against a superior force
For now the north belongs to Alexander Nevsky
