Clan of Cross
Wolfchant Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

[I.]
After years of glory and peace,
And we lived with our Gods,
They came in the night to us,
Brought us the dead we lost our trust

They took ours to us believe
They destroyed our houses and fields
Men and children were tormented and killed
With a smile they raped our wives

For more than 10 years we live like slaves
Suppressed in the own country
Our Gods are so far away
There is no more hope we prayed and prayed

Only I could flee into the mountains
As the last member of the leaders
With my son on my side
And one hundred warriors

[Chorus:]
Clan of the Cross - you stole my land
Burned ground on which we live
Clan of the Cross – you took our believe
Burned skin decorate my body
Clan of Cross
You are hated
You are feared
But never recognized

[II.]
Thus we hid us in the mountains high
Over days and years ago
We lost the courage to live
And see our friends dying

Now the time, the time is came
In which we have to do something
We must raise the swords again
In order to go into the fight

My son convinced his soldiers soon
They are ready to go into war again
We prepare everything
To going back in our old land

[Bridge:]
We must bring our compatriots
To follow us in this fight
Death and pain will expect us
But in the end we all be united

[Chorus:]
Clan of the Cross - you stole my land
Burned ground on which we live
Clan of the Cross – you took our believe
Burned skin decorate my body
Clan of Cross
You are hated




You are feared
But never recognized

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Wolfchant's "Clan of the Cross" tell the story of a group of people who lived in peace with their gods until invaders raided their village at night. The invaders killed and tormented the men, women, and children, and raped their wives. As a result, the people were forced to become slaves, and their gods became distant. They prayed for a way out, but their prayers were unanswered, except for one man who managed to flee with his son and a hundred warriors. The man became the leader of the survivors, and together, they hid in the mountains, losing courage and hope as they watched their friends die.


However, after years of hiding, the time came to take back their land and their faith. The man's son convinced the other warriors to join them in battle, and they prepared to face their enemies once again. The survivors knew that they would face death and pain, but in the end, they would be united with their compatriots. The chorus repeats the message that the Clan of the Cross is hated and feared but never recognized for the atrocities they committed.


Line by Line Meaning

After years of glory and peace,
Once upon a time, we lived in tranquility and happiness


And we lived with our Gods,
Our Gods were part of our everyday life and reality


They came in the night to us,
The invaders sneaked up on us at night


Brought us the dead we lost our trust
They brought us our dead loved ones, which made us lose our trust in them


They took ours to us believe
They took away our faith and beliefs


They destroyed our houses and fields
They destroyed our homes and farmlands


Men and children were tormented and killed
The invaders tormented and killed our men and children


With a smile they raped our wives
The invaders raped our wives with a smile on their faces


For more than 10 years we live like slaves
We lived as slaves for over a decade


Suppressed in the own country
We were oppressed and mistreated in our own land


Our Gods are so far away
Our connection to our Gods feels distant and lost


There is no more hope we prayed and prayed
Despite praying endlessly, hopelessness filled us


Only I could flee into the mountains
I was the only one who escaped to the mountains


As the last member of the leaders
Being the last of the leaders left standing


With my son on my side
With my son by my side


And one hundred warriors
And with a hundred warriors at our side


Clan of the Cross - you stole my land
We hold the Clan of the Cross responsible for stealing our land


Burned ground on which we live
They burned the very land we lived on


Clan of the Cross - you took our believe
The Clan of the Cross robbed us of our beliefs


Burned skin decorate my body
The burns the invaders inflicted on us scarred our bodies


Clan of Cross
We are now referring to them simply as the Clan of Cross


You are hated
We hold hatred for them in our hearts


You are feared
They instilled fear in us


But never recognized
But they never acknowledged the gravity of their actions


Thus we hid us in the mountains high
We hid in the mountains, far above the ground


Over days and years ago
Over long periods of time, days turning to years


We lost the courage to live
We had lost the will to live in those difficult circumstances


And see our friends dying
We could not bear to see our friends succumb to the invaders


Now the time, the time is came
Now is the moment we have been waiting for


In which we have to do something
We must take action


We must raise the swords again
We must gather our weapons and prepare for battle once again


In order to go into the fight
So we can face the invaders in battle


My son convinced his soldiers soon
My son soon convinced his soldiers


They are ready to go into war again
They are ready to engage in warfare once more


We prepare everything
We prepare for every aspect of the upcoming conflict


To going back in our old land
So we can return to our old home


We must bring our compatriots
We must gather our fellow countrymen


To follow us in this fight
To follow us into battle


Death and pain will expect us
We know that death and pain await us


But in the end we all be united
But in the end, we will be united together
