Heralder - Falkenbach
Written by：Markus Tümmers
From beyond a twilight horizon
Where mountains were covered with snow
Once a man on a horse came the way
On an early autumnal morning
When dew lay chill on the ground
And the sun's first rays heralded the day
To rest at last after riding for
More than three days and nights
Through the woods and
Across the shallow landscapes
To finally reach the village
The rumours where talking about
And where the heathen
King lived for many years
His golden armour was shining
By the light of awakening sun
And in his hand he held a bronzen shield
On which the runes all were written
By a blacksmith of wisdom great
To guide him on his way so long
He had come to bring the message
The king has given to him
To be conveyed into all heathen countries
And he told about their brethern
Overtaken by christian men
Now punished by the cross and christian laws
So the man dismounted
And his horse was taken
By it's bridle to be brought into the stabling
Meanwhile he was lead to the hall
Where the king sat on his greatseat
Forthwith he told him the reasons for his coming
And withing a few minutes all people
Were gathered by the king's mighty voice
So he rose on his feet and began to speak
About the greatest heathen host ever see
Passing towards their brethern land
After three days and nights of riding
The frontier they finally reached
With their hearths wholly determined
And encountered the christian church
In their once sacred woods
As the chaplain just chimed the bell
At once they put the spurs in their horses
Hearths were filled with rage and hate
And in their hands they held the torches
When Odhinn was amongst and
Tyr was leading their hearts
Into a world of anciest mysteries
The night the longswords where grinded
And the shields were forged in blood
By the hands of most dextrous blacksmiths
And sacrifices were given to the
Goddesses and the Gods
In the woods by the mighty tree
Known in heathen kingdoms as the mighty Irminsul
That was built as an immense landmark
Of heathen pride and honour
And a symbol of what shall be
