Norwegens BORKNAGAR präsentieren den neuen, sphärischen und eingängigen Song `Nordic Anthem`, der die Fans auf das nächste Studioalbum vorbereitet. „Fall“ erscheint am 23. Februar.
BORKNAGAR schreiben zur Auskopplung:
“So many gods. So many beliefs. So much conflict. “Nordic Anthem” is about rejecting any kind of doctrine, religious or political. It’s about going to your own nature, your inner core, and finding strength and freedom. Our perspective is a northern one – we’re from the north after all – but this is a firm stance that is universally applicable. It’s about finding and trusting your own values, your own heritage, and standing up against gods and authorities trying to push doctrine to control you, or corrupt you. This is our collective anthem. We won’t bend our knee to any god!”

Lyrics:
There comes a time when all gods must fall
A time to answer our nation’s call
No chains can bind us, shackles can’t hold
The Northern spirit cannot be sold
This is our home
Our life is free
From coast to mountain
We will never bend our knee
We bow our heads to nothing but our past
Our breath is cold, we know our history will last.
Northerners won’t bow to any god!
The north wind whispers in our ears
Old tales of hardship, of hopes and fears
We fought to forge our own destiny
Now we stand strong for the world to see
This is our home
Our life is free
From coast to mountain
We will never bend our knee
We bow our heads to nothing but our past
Our breath is cold, we know our history will last.
This is the north where spirits run free
From coast to mountain, that is our key
So, raise your head as our anthem rings
This is the north, so our people sings:
“We won’t bend our necks to any god!”
