Out of the sea, out of the blue one there came
Oh, dear, a hostile horde of foes
They aimed their spears at Buyan**, the Sacred,
And the city fell into eternal slumber
Right on that night
Sinking in their own blood
There fell to the ground
Zuantewith's Array
Through the power of fire and the alien conjuring
And under the foes' swords
Down came Zuantewith's overthrown crucifix
The city fell into eternal slumber
Under the heavens vault
Arkona slumbers in ruins
But soon there'll arise the land from the foes' defeat
There'll arise from the ashes the City of the White Steed
Under the water
The home shore rests in sleep
The graves of the deseased
Are washed down by a wave
The rocks are numb but, lo, do you feel a stare of those
Who failed to come back?
But there'll burst out a thunder in our dear temple
The gods' faces will emerge in it
And at dawn the earth will quake
And once again my Sacred Sanctuary will come to life
Arise, Arkona!
Hey, you, Rod's World
Present for real to us who are now alive
Your sacred face under the cover of ruins
Up will we stretch our open hands
Well under the vault of yours
Hey-ho, bros,
I'm calling you to war!
Off will roll onto the field
Good daredevils' heads
The one who'll come to us with a sword
From the sword will perish!
Let's get the time back
Let's avenge the fallen city!
Over the edge of eternity
Let's stand in the guard of the years
On our way to infinity
Let's keep our pledge intact
With my feet on the ancient land
I hear Bereguinia calling
What shall the gods or I do
For the Sanctuary to be once more reborn from the ruines?
Under the heavens vault
Arkona slumbers in ruins
But soon there'll arise the land from the foes' defeat
There'll arise from the ashes the City of the White Steed
