lyrics

Falcon's Flight

Where are the horses, where are the riders? In the fray of battle all the heroes met their fate.
Where are the kinsmen and where are the treasures? Taken by the hands that had been lying long in wait.

Wind-blown halls in silence stand,
the fate of mortals, built on sand.
The wine-halls they crumbled to frost-covered ruins, monarchs lie lifeless and ill fares the land.

Gone is the liege lord, gone are the princes – the serpents have long withered which adorned the mighty hall.
Amber waves eat away at the coastline – the strongest rock must crumble and the proudest hero fall.

The blood-greedy spear took both warrior and slave
and black winds unsheathed the heart of the nave,
alas for the bright cup, alas for the feasting,
alas for the gold-rings the giver once gave.

The falcon flies the spring-long day with fair wind under either wing.
