OLD ENGLISH FROM 1000 AD ACT ONE: FATE [Intro] Hē cweþeþ... Hē cweþeþ þæt Wyrd sīe ful ārǣd. [Verse 1] Lēasung! Nis nān wyrd, būtan þǣre þe wē scieppaþ! Nis nān dōm, būtan þām þe wē wyrcaþ! Ac his tīd is fæst! His dagas sind sceorte! Sē hlāford is fǣge, hē gǣþ on þēostru! [Verse 2] Gē wēnaþ þæt gē sindon þēowas geborene, Þæt God wrāt ēower līf, forlorene ond torene. Ic secge ēow nese, ic secge ēow "Rīsaþ!" Wē sindon scyppendas, wē sindon wīse. [Chorus] Ne bīdaþ wē nānre wyrde, ne bīdaþ wē nānre gife. Mid ūrum handum, wē brecaþ þæt līf. Īsern ond blōd, þæt is ūre stæf. Wē wrītaþ þone dōm, wē grīpaþ þæt lēaf. [Hook] Nis nān wyrd, būtan þǣre þe wē scieppaþ! Nis nān dōm, būtan þām þe wē wyrcaþ! [Bridge] Ac his wyrd is gewriten! Hēo stent on stāne! Hē sceal sweltan, hē bīþ eall āna! Sēo sunne sīhþ on his healle. Dēaþ is his sceadu, hēo fealleþ on ealle. [Verse 3] Hē wēneþ þæt hē sīe god, hē wēneþ þæt hē sīe strang. Ac his þrǣd is corfen, his līf nis lang. Wē habbaþ þæt fȳr, wē habbaþ þæt īren. Hē hafaþ þone fyrst, hē hafaþ þā fyrene. [Outro] His dōm is geseald, mid insegle fæst. Wē cumaþ tōniht. Þæt bīþ his ende. Ac ǣrest... wē biddaþ. Fæder ūre... Fæder ūre... ACT TWO: THE LORD'S PRAYER [Verse 1] Fæder ūre, þū þe eart on heofonum, Sīe þīn nama gehālgod. Tōbecume þīn rīce, Gewurþe þīn willa, On eorðan swā swā on heofonum. [Chorus] Ūrne gedæghwāmlican hlāf syle ūs tō dæg, And forgyf ūs ūre gyltas, Swā swā wē forgyfaþ ūrum gyltendum. [Outro] And ne gelǣd þū ūs on costnunge, Ac ālȳs ūs of yfele. Sōþlīce. ACT THREE: WORD HOARD (THE CHALLENGE) Hwæt! Wé Gár-Dena in géar-dagum Nese. Þes is mín sæl.
