Regicide Lyrics - Einherjer

[Music by Gerhard Storesund] 

[Lyrics by Gerhard Storesund] 

Ridden through the flame 

The ring be his bane 

The oathkeeper's brother bid 

The ringkeeper slain 

Fire-raisers hand 

The grief and the rage 

The ill-fated will had won 

The ill-fated wage 

Fish of the wild-wood 

Worm smooth crawling 

With wolf-meat mingled 

They minced for him 

Then in the beaker 

In the wine his mouth knew 

They set it, still doing 

More deeds of wizards 

The fate has overcome 

maimed and outrun 

The brave breed of the noble son's 

Vile unjust done 

[Brynhild:] 

"Long shall ye have 

land and men of war 

Thou who now has slain 

Sigurds death done" 

Now he has fallen 

The son of Gods triumphant 

Norns have their judgement 

Death knell toll 

We are the children of the wolf 

Fall to your sleep 

Thy court of mailcoat's gem 

Swift peace reap 

The shriek of a raven 

Cut through the air 

"False oath be thy bane"
