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
