Galdorcraeft - White Dragon
Through hills and bones
We stand between
The sky and stones
The wind she whips our faces cold
The lines are etched
They are drawn in gold
Gift the life your mother bore
To the Father of all war
In the name of what you love
For the glory up above
For our sons and for our daughters
Walk into the bloody slaughter
Níðdraca hwit
Leofaþ lange
Gesíðas deórlíce
Gesíðas soþ
Cwalu
Unforhtmod
As the dragon snaps air
And the sky spits in our eyes
All the memories come to call
All the reasons not to die
We are pale wings dealing death blows
We are death personified
We are laying bodies Hel low
We are dragons of the isle
Lay them down
Let them fade away
We deathbærnes
We wegfarende
Níðdraca hwit
We have never owned our lives
Its for others that we die
For our Gods and for our soil
In the maelstrom we will toil
So our work does feed the raven
Dealing sleep out to the craven
To the quiet fields we ride
Waking nightmare in our minds
Song Description:
edit soundcloudThe lyrics speak of giving one's life for the Father of all war, in the name of love and glory. The warriors walk into bloody slaughter, fearless and resolute. The White Dragon, a symbol of death and destruction, is invoked in the verses, emphasizing the brutal nature of war.

Despite the grimness of the lyrics, there is a sense of duty and honor in the song. The warriors do not own their lives, but sacrifice them for their Gods, soil, and people. They ride into battle, feeding the raven and bringing nightmares to their enemies.
Overall, "White Dragon" by Galdorcraeft is a fierce and evocative song that captures the raw emotion and intensity of war. It is a tribute to the courage and sacrifice of warriors who fight for their beliefs and their people.
