[00:00:00] Heralder - Falkenbach

[00:00:00] Written by：Markus Tümmers

[00:00:33] From beyond a twilight horizon

[00:00:35] Where mountains were covered with snow

[00:00:37] Once a man on a horse came the way

[00:00:41] On an early autumnal morning

[00:00:43] When dew lay chill on the ground

[00:00:45] And the sun's first rays heralded the day

[00:00:49] To rest at last after riding for

[00:00:52] More than three days and nights

[00:00:54] Through the woods and

[00:00:55] Across the shallow landscapes

[00:00:58] To finally reach the village

[00:01:00] The rumours where talking about

[00:01:02] And where the heathen

[00:01:03] King lived for many years

[00:01:26] His golden armour was shining

[00:01:28] By the light of awakening sun

[00:01:30] And in his hand he held a bronzen shield

[00:01:34] On which the runes all were written

[00:01:36] By a blacksmith of wisdom great

[00:01:38] To guide him on his way so long

[00:01:42] He had come to bring the message

[00:01:44] The king has given to him

[00:01:46] To be conveyed into all heathen countries

[00:01:50] And he told about their brethern

[00:01:52] Overtaken by christian men

[00:01:54] Now punished by the cross and christian laws

[00:02:28] So the man dismounted

[00:02:29] And his horse was taken

[00:02:30] By it's bridle to be brought into the stabling

[00:02:33] Meanwhile he was lead to the hall

[00:02:35] Where the king sat on his greatseat

[00:02:37] Forthwith he told him the reasons for his coming

[00:02:40] And withing a few minutes all people

[00:02:42] Were gathered by the king's mighty voice

[00:02:44] So he rose on his feet and began to speak

[00:02:47] About the greatest heathen host ever see

[00:02:50] Passing towards their brethern land

[00:03:54] After three days and nights of riding

[00:03:56] The frontier they finally reached

[00:03:57] With their hearths wholly determined

[00:04:02] And encountered the christian church

[00:04:04] In their once sacred woods

[00:04:06] As the chaplain just chimed the bell

[00:04:10] At once they put the spurs in their horses

[00:04:12] Hearths were filled with rage and hate

[00:04:14] And in their hands they held the torches

[00:04:18] When Odhinn was amongst and

[00:04:20] Tyr was leading their hearts

[00:04:22] Into a world of anciest mysteries

[00:04:28] The night the longswords where grinded

[00:04:30] And the shields were forged in blood

[00:04:31] By the hands of most dextrous blacksmiths

[00:04:34] And sacrifices were given to the

[00:04:36] Goddesses and the Gods

[00:04:37] In the woods by the mighty tree

[00:04:39] Known in heathen kingdoms as the mighty Irminsul

[00:04:41] That was built as an immense landmark

[00:04:44] Of heathen pride and honour

[00:04:45] And a symbol of what shall be
