Winter's raging, winds are blowing Something's coming from the North In the castle of King Hagen, Hild his daughter sleeps King Heoden loves the princess Sends his minstrel to woo for him This bewitching song Brings her to escape in Wade's magic boat (giant of the sea) Hagen pursues them, on the Hoy Island In the Orkneys, wars began Bloody battlefield, madness of two men Shall so abide till Doomsday
Day after day, this curse goes on No one could ever break this spell Weapons and shields were turned into stone Magic of the battlefield
Hild went by night to the corpses She hid something in her hands She awoke the dead by magic with the book of shadows The next day the kings went to the battlefield and fought again With all those who fell the day before forevermore Fury of two kings, magic battlefield Hjathningavig curse began Neverending fight, dead awoke by spell Shall so abide till Doomsday
Day after day, this curse goes on No one could ever break this spell Weapons and shields were turned into stone Magic of the battlefield
