With his armour sword and shield
|
he walked through the night
|
and in the light of the moon
|
he shines like a warrior
|
he walked till the break of dawn
|
and above his head
|
the dragonstone was ahead
|
dark and threatening
|
|
on his way he saw a wagon
|
with a farmers family
|
he told the man full of pugnacity
|
what's in his mind
|
that he wants to free the land
|
from the plague and pain
|
and from the smell of sulfur
|
the fire and the dead
|
|
[Farmer:]
|
"Take the horse that came yesterday it's former owner is dead
|
as you he would kill Fafnir but he wasn't an opponent
|
he dies in the flames of hell no scream were heard that night
|
the Lindworm is undefeated and someday he will destroy us".
|
|
with the dead behind he rides through a former happy land
|
now destruction and fear in his eyes
|
darkest feelings in his mind, then he saw a ravine where
|
all his live would end or glory will begin.
|
|
the dragonslayer
|
|
then he saw the head of the dragon looking in his eyes
|
bones of soldiers who had died in the battle of dead
|
it's mouth was opened wide and the fire burned to take his soul
|
but with Notrum the magic sword he will fight until his dead.
|
|
and then the battle began
|
Siegfried fought hard like a dog of the war
|
and with the last strenght he had
|
the sword runs into the dragons heard
|
|
[Fafnir:]
|
"From which tribe you come, who'd painted my hard red
|
the dark steel is in me and burns my soul
|
your sword was stronger, I'm defeated
|
it's live must Fafnir leave now and forever".
|
|
As the dragon lived no more
|
Siegfried felt it's blood
|
it was like a second skin
|
where no steel came through
|
so he put his body in the sea of blood
|
but a lime-tree leaf felt on his back
|
|
on that little place on the back
|
he wasn't safe
|
against the steel of the enemies
|
he must face in future life
|
there was silence in the land
|
and he put his weapons on
|
to tell his father what he'd done and to get his respect.
|
|
After a while he left Xanten
|
visit other foreign lands
|
and he came to a realm called Nibelungen
|
he heard from big treasures there
|
which were safed by dwarfs and giants
|
but his mind reached out for the Nibelungenhord
