Saxons, forge the tribes together
Bind the brothers with their blood
Upon them the oath is now sworn
Of brotherhood and valor
Surrounded by fire and a rain of arrows
Blinded by the hate that burns in us
Saxon sons give their lives and die for Saxon land
We raise the horn and will then drink
To those who fell in enemy land
From far and wide we have come
And now return to Saxon land
The spear decides the dead men's fate
The onset of brutal violence
The Saxon folk will triumph
The gods' verdict has been cast
The place where once war raged
Now lies eerily still
On the field where heroes fell
We fulfilled the gods' will
Saxon land
In woods and meadows
Saxon land
In all their splendor
Saxon land
The sons fight
Saxon land
A land that waits
Saxon land
Given by gods
Saxon land
Grant us courage
Saxon land
Surrounded by enemies
Saxon land
For you our blood
I returned from many a battle
The shield still in my hand
The sword is broken in the fight
Brothers fell by enemy hand
Warmly welcomed by the women
Beauty caresses the eyes again
The Saxon people will remember forever
Those who fell for their lord
Saxon land
In woods and meadows
Saxon land
In all their splendor
Saxon land
The sons fight
Saxon land
A land that waits
Saxon land
Given by gods
Saxon land
Grant us courage
Saxon land
Surrounded by enemies
Saxon land
For you our blood
In the land of the Saxons, I see my brothers
In the land of the Saxons, there's my heart
In the land of the Saxons, lie my roots
In the land of the Saxons, there my grave will one day lie
Saxons, forge the tribes together
Bind the brothers with their blood
Upon them the oath is now sworn
Of brotherhood and valor
Surrounded by fire and a rain of arrows
Blinded by the hate that burns in us
Saxon sons give their lives and die for Saxon land

SONG MEANING

Heidevolk’s “Saksenland” is a thunderous homage to the ancient Saxon tribes, fusing folk melodies with metal power to paint a cinematic scene of brotherhood, battle, and unshakeable pride. The lyrics invite us to stand shoulder to shoulder with Saxon warriors who pledge their blood to protect their homeland, a place of dense forests, wide meadows, and sacred ties to the gods. As arrows rain and spears flash, the song celebrates unity in the face of danger, honoring those who fall yet vowing that their courage will echo forever through the land they loved.

Beneath the roaring guitars lies a story about identity and belonging. Returning soldiers are greeted by loved ones, swords might break but spirits do not, and every verse circles back to the core idea: Saksenland is worth every sacrifice. Listeners are swept into a timeless rallying cry that turns history into a living heartbeat, urging us to remember our roots, cherish our community, and raise a horn to the bravery of all who fight for home.
