Heralder - Falkenbach[00:00:00]
Written by:Markus Tümmers[00:00:00]
From beyond a twilight horizon[00:00:33]
Where mountains were covered with snow [00:00:35]
Once a man on a horse came the way [00:00:37]
On an early autumnal morning [00:00:41]
When dew lay chill on the ground [00:00:43]
And the sun's first rays heralded the day [00:00:45]
To rest at last after riding for[00:00:49]
More than three days and nights [00:00:52]
Through the woods and[00:00:54]
Across the shallow landscapes [00:00:55]
To finally reach the village[00:00:58]
The rumours where talking about [00:01:00]
And where the heathen[00:01:02]
King lived for many years [00:01:03]
His golden armour was shining[00:01:26]
By the light of awakening sun [00:01:28]
And in his hand he held a bronzen shield[00:01:30]
On which the runes all were written[00:01:34]
By a blacksmith of wisdom great [00:01:36]
To guide him on his way so long [00:01:38]
He had come to bring the message[00:01:42]
The king has given to him [00:01:44]
To be conveyed into all heathen countries [00:01:46]
And he told about their brethern [00:01:50]
Overtaken by christian men [00:01:52]
Now punished by the cross and christian laws [00:01:54]
So the man dismounted[00:02:28]
And his horse was taken[00:02:29]
By it's bridle to be brought into the stabling [00:02:30]
Meanwhile he was lead to the hall[00:02:33]
Where the king sat on his greatseat [00:02:35]
Forthwith he told him the reasons for his coming [00:02:37]
And withing a few minutes all people[00:02:40]
Were gathered by the king's mighty voice [00:02:42]
So he rose on his feet and began to speak[00:02:44]
About the greatest heathen host ever see [00:02:47]
Passing towards their brethern land [00:02:50]
After three days and nights of riding[00:03:54]
The frontier they finally reached [00:03:56]
With their hearths wholly determined [00:03:57]
And encountered the christian church[00:04:02]
In their once sacred woods[00:04:04]
As the chaplain just chimed the bell [00:04:06]
At once they put the spurs in their horses [00:04:10]
Hearths were filled with rage and hate [00:04:12]
And in their hands they held the torches [00:04:14]
When Odhinn was amongst and[00:04:18]
Tyr was leading their hearts[00:04:20]
Into a world of anciest mysteries [00:04:22]
The night the longswords where grinded[00:04:28]
And the shields were forged in blood [00:04:30]
By the hands of most dextrous blacksmiths [00:04:31]
And sacrifices were given to the[00:04:34]
Goddesses and the Gods [00:04:36]
In the woods by the mighty tree [00:04:37]
Known in heathen kingdoms as the mighty Irminsul [00:04:39]
That was built as an immense landmark[00:04:41]
Of heathen pride and honour[00:04:44]
And a symbol of what shall be[00:04:45]
