Heralder - Falkenbach.mp3

[00:00.00] 作曲 : Falkenbach, Vakyas
[00:33.12] From beyond a twilight horizon where mountains were covered with snow,
[00:37.05] Once a man on a horse came the way,
[00:38.22] On an early autumnal morning, when dew lay chill on the ground,
[00:45.51] And the sun's first rays heralded the day,
[00:47.97] To rest at last after riding for more than three days and nights,
[00:53.43] Through the woods and across the shallow landscapes,
[00:57.75] To finally reach the village the rumours where talking about,
[01:00.96] And where the heathen king lived for many years.
[01:26.31] His golden armour was shining by the light of awakening sun,
[01:30.36] And in his hand he held a bronzen shield
[01:34.53] On which the runes all were written by a blacksmith of wisdom great,
[01:38.61] To guide him on his way so long.
[01:42.54] He had come to bring the message the king has given to him,
[01:46.11] To be conveyed into all heathen countries,
[01:51.06] And he told about their brethern, overtaken by christian men,
[01:54.81] Now punished by the cross and christian laws.
[02:30.00] So the man dismounted and his horse was taken by it's bridle to be brought into the stabling.
[02:32.70] Meanwhile he was lead to the hall where the king sat on his greatseat.
[02:36.36] Forthwith he told him the reasons for his coming,
[02:41.01] And withing a few minutes all people were gathered by the king's mighty voice.
[02:44.55] So he rose on his feet and began to speak about the greatest heathen host ever see,
[02:49.62] Passing towards their brethern land....
[03:53.79] After three days and nights of riding the frontier they finally reached,
[03:57.18] With their hearths wholly determined,
[04:02.94] And encountered the christian church in their once sacred woods
[04:06.66] As the chaplain just chimed the bell.
[04:09.63] At once they put the spurs in their horses,
[04:11.79] Hearths were filled with rage and hate,
[04:13.83] And in their hands they held the torches,
[04:19.77] When Odhinn was amongst and Tyr was leading their hearts
[04:21.54] Into a world of anciest mysteries....
[04:27.60] The night the longswords where grinded
[04:29.55] And the shields were forged in blood,
[04:31.53] By the hands of most dextrous blacksmiths,
[04:34.14] And sacrifices were given to the Goddesses and the Gods,
[04:37.23] In the woods by the mighty tree,
[04:38.82] Known in heathen kingdoms as the mighty Irminsul,
[04:41.79] That was built as an immense landmark
[04:43.74] Of heathen pride and honour
[04:45.21] And a symbol of what shall be....
