[Verse] Axes fell blood soaked the ground Edington’s roar silence profound Shields cracked bones snapped earth drank deep A king’s hand reached across the steep [Prechorus] Baptized in fire baptized in blood The cross and the hammer sunk in the mud [Chorus] The treaty signed the line was drawn Danelaw rises Saxon dawn North and east the dragon's breath South the cross fights off its death [Verse 2] Guthrum’s oath by the holy stream Washed in waters his past redeemed Yet whispers lingered dark and cold Steel speaks louder than tales of old [Bridge] Chants of war fade to the drum Peace a fragile thread unwoven Two lands split one heart torn The soil remembers the oath sworn [Chorus] The treaty signed the line was drawn Danelaw rises Saxon dawn North and east the dragon's breath South the cross fights off its death
