Amon Amarth - Thousand Years Of Oppression Lyrics
He hung on the windswept world tree
Whose roots no one knows
For nine whole days he hung there pierced
By Gugnir, his spear
And cried out in agony
Reaching out he grasped the runes
Before falling back from the abyss
He gave himself unto himself
In a world of sheering pain
So that we all may live our lives
By the wisdom that he gained
You doubted him, and spread their lies
You raped our souls, and stole our right
All for the words of mild-mannered man
You listened to mild-mannered god
And put your faith in deceitful words
Your powertrip was paid by blood
In kindness' name you spilled our blood
I refuse to submit
To the god you say is kind
I know what's right, and it is time
It's time to fight, and free our minds
Let me die without fear!
As I have lived without it
So shut your mouth and spare my ears
I'm fed up with all your bullshit
After a thousand years of oppression
Let the berserks rise again
Let the world hear these words once more:
"Save us, oh lord, from the wrath of the Northmen"
Our spirits were forged in snow and ice
To bend like steel forged over fire
We were not made to bend like reed
Or to turn the other cheek
He grasped the runes
They're ours to use

Amon Amarth Thousand Years Of Oppression Comments
Hung on the windswept world tree
Whose roots no one knows
For nine whole days he hung there pierced
By Gugnir, his spear
Swimming in pain he peered into the depths
And cried out in agony
Reaching out he grasped the runes
Before falling back from the abyss
He gave himself unto himself
In a world of shearing pain
So that we all may live our lives
By the wisdom that he gained
You doubted him, and spread their lies
Across the world, with sword in hand
You raped our souls, and stole our right
All for the words of mild-mannered man
You listened to mild-mannered god
And put your faith in deceitful words
Your powertrip was paid by blood
In kindness' name you spilled our blood
I refuse to submit
To the god you say is kind
I know what's right, and it is time
It's time to fight, and free our minds
Let me die without fear
As I have lived without it
So shut your mouth and spare my ears
I'm fed up with all your bullshit
After a thousand years of oppression
Let the berserks rise again
Let the world hear these words once more
"Save us, oh lord, from the wrath of the Norsemen"
Our sprits were forged in snow and ice
To bend like steel forged over fire
We were not made to bend like reed
Or turn the other cheek
He grasped the runes, they're ours to use
so glad i saw them october 3rd 2019 for the fourth time live in salt lake city a good show also arch enemy and at the gates 3 good bands.
there will never be a day when i listen to a bad song from amon amarth, all of them are great
If this don't awaken the ancient knowledge magic and hate in your blood nothing will
HAİL OLD GODS!
WE SHALL PREVAİL!
ENOUGH OF ABRAHAMİC BULLSHİT!
songs off the newer albums have so many more views than stuff like this... i hope all the gym goers and bearded hipsters don't miss out on this gold
Where you are against the horde
6:43 PM 10/13/2019 Really? This guy has no clue what Im posting on his page LOL. I will say whats up. I would probably stop by to get something to drink and leave.
Modern War & Conquest: The game is not to Rape & Pillage & Burn. It is to be like old Darius ll of Ancient Iran. He who built Persepolis. Embrace you're vanquished enemy with Compassion. Then, they can pay they're taxes to The State!, in Peace! ....Just a thought!
I was having trouble to open a jar of jelly, but after i listening this song, i had the need to reap the lid of a 50 gallon tank of glicerin with my bear hands and drink it in order to spit fire.
HAIL ODIN AND HAIL HIS SON THOR ON THIS THORSDAG.
Sad we had to go this far
You guys are awesome thank you
If it got vikings, you know it's going to be cool as fuck.
What is this? A song for leftists??!?
🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
Thousand years of oppression By Muslims is Incoming if you don't rise up and do something about it now.
Too late.
LOL.
Perfect.
Allahu akbar my friend. I feeling just Allahu akbar!
Nobody cares about a pedophilic smelly brown god fool.
Hail Odin! Hail The Gods!
I love the music and lyrical content of Amon Amarth...one of the most talented bands of all time. Their live show is unrivaled
Amon Amarth came on tour....and chuck Norris ran away!
A thousand years of torture
1000 is enough, time to send that strange, desert god back to the middle east where it belongs.
Let me die without fear, as I have lived without it.
So shut your mouth and spare my ears
I'm fed up with all your bullshit.
Beard growth initiated
Back when Norse was feared and respected ...
Perun bless you
Slava, Tovarisch.
Slava brate
I really wish fascists weren't so obsessed with vikings. They end up always contaminating the comments sections of viking related bands.
@Lord Angus there's anything fascist related in this comment so...
Hail the gods of old and may they become the dominant force in societies religion again this I ask for only then shall true strength be seen and the self righteous who believe they are saving us shall see just how weak they have truly become.
This is what I've been searching for all these years..the melodic sounds with the death metal. From the earlier as I lay dying..to becoming the archetype..to all shall perish..to black dalhia murder..abigail williams...this epic melodic sound is so consistent and relentless..ive always known of amon amarth just never bothered listening to them. So glad I did dang
All victims of the patriarchy Im sure
That guitar is putting me in trance. I love this !!!!!!
I miss the times when Amon Amarth were SWJs talking about putting opressors down.
get the fuck outa here dip shit
I can't help but smile when I think about the idea of so tough vikings crying about being beaten and oppressed...
>oppressing your own people is cool guys! Yay for infighting!
Saturn will burn !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The old gods have awoken
I farted....damn cheap hoodlum beer!
Remember my fellow Norsefolk Christianity was accepted among us willingly..warrior gotta farm to eat sometimes..skaal!
gym music!!
I think Rammstien adopted there ways of metal?
Rammstein was before Amon Amarth became popular.
@Howard Kunz Doubt it; known as didlo band no ocrastra? Never had a keyboarder in beginning . I know rammstein well my friend. Lot folk think there gay? New album not surprised. I astrayed from rammstien do this.
Hail to the all father! Odin the wise, lord of ravens!
PAGANFORLIFE :)
We need to go back to the old ways an make this the national anthem
Fudido p caralho...
This is what this was listening to in the avingers
I'm getting Fenrir on my right arm cause there delusion is they are God's looks to Saturn yeah I'll let Odin explain the Jupertarian Jorgunmanders that will take to much space
The infinite conflict between good and evil. You know what you truly are, deep down...
Yet the liberal EU and Nordic countries are further oppressing its peoples.
Get some
That comment section gave me a cancer.
Oppression, NEVERMORE!
Hungarian monks included this song in a christmas playlist.
Keep fighting your demons,they will not win
I stopper fighting my demons. They're on my dame side now
Let the world hear these words once more “ O Lord save us from the wrath of the north men!!!” 🤘🏻
My beard grew a beard
This song aint shit
Cool bro 👍 way to be a judgemental asshole.
best song
"odin died for you, so fuck people who tell you jesus died for you"
No, fuck people that dare steal your life unless you adapt to their truth
All Hail the Almighty Universal Father, Óðinn
Detta är perfekt!
One of the best drum parts ever he is a monster
How can this be so amazing but have such silly cover art
Thank Oden for this true music/song. If only there also was a Like button (lol)
Best Melodic Death Metal Band.
this is not melodic death metal...
@Mauricio Ortiz It is
@Mauricio Ortiz ok kiddo
@Brandon Saporito i dont even know u nigga
It is, thats how Amon Amarth started
Masterpiece.
He hung on the windswept world tree
Whose roots no one knows
For nine whole days he hung there pierced
By Gugnir, his spear
Swimming in pain he peered into the depths
And cried out in agony
Reaching out he grasped the runes
Before falling back from the abyss
He gave himself unto himself
In a world of sheering pain
So that we all may live our lives
By the wisdom that he gained
You doubted him, and spread their lies
Across the world, with sword in hand
You raped our souls, and stole our right
All for the words of mild-mannered man
You listened to mild-mannered god
And put your faith in deceitful words
Your powertrip was paid by blood
In kindness' name you spilled our blood
I refuse to submit
To the god you say is kind
I know what's right, and it is time
It's time to fight, and free our minds
Let me die without fear!
As I have lived without it
So shut your mouth and spare my ears
I'm fed up with all your bullshit
After a thousand years of oppression
Let the berserks rise again
Let the world hear these words once more:
"Save us, oh lord, from the wrath of the Norseman"
Our spirits were forged in snow and ice
To bend like steel forged over fire
We were not made to bend like reed
Or turn the other cheek
He grasped the runes, they're ours to use
the best track from the entire work of Amon Amarth
Hail to the allfather Odin
So epic...NORTH SIDE!!!!!! lol
Fucking god tier song.
Let the world hear this words once more... I really would like to see that
Save us, oh lord, from the wrath of the NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORSEMEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEN
The Christian's defeated king herald and single handedly ended the viking age...seems like that prayer worked...just saying and Scandinavians and I share the same blood
Am The One. . . YOU WHERE WARNED ABOUT -
@Nicholas Studt lol
@Nicholas Studt it's all good bro you dont have to be angry not everybody has a cookie cutter personality some people are diverse in their way of thinking
still get goosebumps listening to this
HAIL ODIN
These are my favorite vocals of all time. Johann is a literal god himself
he's the voice of a revolution
Vs the World is still their best album..BY FAR!
Fuck yeah !!!!!!
Lots of butthurt Neo - Norse pagans around here. They won't complain when they are the ones doing the raiding, sacking and pillaging of Christian territories but will whine and cry when Christian leaders like Alfred The Great and Charlemagne kicked their butts.
Bit like when the Priests are raping kids i guess? No complaining when its then huh?
@James O'Connor So much substance !
This is crying? Did not know that calling for the death of your enemy was crying.
@Churck fuck off negro, you will never be white.
Save us, Odin, from the wrath of the Christian!
That sounds like something a christian would say. Its not really apart of the norse religion to beg for salvation.
Sorry to hear what you're going through
Marby Odin listen to this
On my life.. this song makes me wanna RIP someone's face off an kram it up my own ass...
Well goddamn. I raise my mead horn your way
Such...POWER..
The Norns is changing me
Lokis biggest trick = Christianity
Later in Surtur Rising the beserks have their revenge in the song "Wrath of The Norsemen"
These riffs an lyrics make me cry .... awesome song. I really love to play their songs on guitar .... not very difficult but powerful and fun
Rob1 I love you <3
2010childrenofbodom I love you too <3
This song makes me cry A Thousand Tears Of Depression
GODDAMN AMON AMARTH!!!
I want this played at my funeral.
This is one of those epic songs that I have no idea what he's talking about but I dig the guitars.
Cheers to the God's of old
Amon Amarth. My go to band for pre combat worship.
Anybody else get goosebumps at 3:01 ?
im here for 3:01 bra
No goosebumps... just the urge to snap my neck to the beat of the snare drum!
This song makes me cry... A tear FOR ODIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Powerful song! Down with abrahamic religions! HAIL GODS OF NATURE!!!
Love this song
