"This is the tale of the Nothung sword,
Broken in two by the Odin lord,
This is the blade that will change history,
Use it my son to free the fallen Valkyrie.
Carves through an anvil like it chops through wood,
Can slice up a dragon and you know that it could,
Carves through an anvil like a light through shade,
It's the ultimate bad-ass Nothung Blade.
Man used a stone to smite his foe,
Then he progressed to arrows and bows,
Next came swords, catapults and knives,
I reforge the blade to take my brother's life.
Carves through an anvil like it chops through wood,
Can slice up a dragon and you know that it could,
Carves through an anvil like a light through shade,
It's the ultimate bad-ass Nothung Blade."

"The man who betrayed you,
And left you for dead,
He married another,
And now you must take his head.
(Hey you deserved this, She's gonna kill you,)
Maiden rides tonight,
(Hey you deserved this, She's gonna kill you,)
Valkyrie in flight,
(Hey you deserved this, She's gonna kill you,)
Maiden rides tonight,
(Hey you deserved this, She's gonna kill you,)
Valkyrie in flight.
Vengeance.
Plunge a knife into my lovers back,
Magic will not ward me from this foe,
Left me in a burning ring of fire,
Now I take revenge I slit his throat.
Drank down the Queen's Ale,
Once you were a legend,
Forgot about your girl,
Now she's out for vengeance.
(Hey you deserved this, She's gonna kill you,)
Maiden rides tonight,
(Hey you deserved this, She's gonna kill you,)
Valkyrie in flight,
(Hey you deserved this, She's gonna kill you,)
Maiden rides tonight,

"Chosen of the eight,
Tempered by the fire,
Battle-maiden you betray me child.
Assembled on the summit,
Gathered faithful few,
Shatter the Nothung blade to earth as I would you.
A warrior will come,
To breathe life into me.
Reforge, The blade, Of nothung.
To Hindfell she will go,
Mountain wreathed in flame,
Fearless hero she desires.
Whoso ever fears,
The point of Odin's spear,
Shall not break the magic ring of fire.
A warrior will come,
To breathe life into me.
Reforge, The blade, Of nothung.

"Regin has brought me to Fafnir's cave,
The blade of Nothung by my side,
Regin commands me to strike down his blood,
And rip his heart from his inside.
The dragon, Dies tonight,
The sword called Nothung will test Fafnir's might.
Crush you where you stand, You worm, You trash,
Grind your bones to sand, Burn you, To ash,
Crush you where you stand, You worm, You trash,
Grind your bones to sand, Burn you, To ash.
Sword, Versus flame,
Claw, Against blade.
Invade your chasm where your wenches lay,
Knowledge I take with me of how to slay.
Regin has told me of your Achilles' Heel,
Penetrate this dark cave without sound,
Battle erupts and the titans will meet,
And Regin wants flesh by the pound.
The dragon, Dies tonight,
The sword called Nothung will test Fafnir's might.
Crush you where you stand, You worm, You trash,
Grind your bones to sand, Burn you, To ash,
Crush you where you stand, You worm, You trash,
Grind your bones to sand, Burn you, To ash.
Sword, Versus flame,
Claw, Against blade.
Invade your cavern where your wenches lay,
Knowledge I take with me of how to slay.
Sword, Versus flame,
Claw, Against blade.
Regin has told me take heart of my brother,
And you will gain knowledge unlike any other.
Now I can hear the language of birds,
The tell me your secrets and forgotten words.
Regin I hear his words as though he sings,
He plans to kill me, take this magic ring."

"I dreamt a falcon was cut down,
Slew before my eyes,
He was a strong and noble bird,
I woke, I cried,
Killed by two fierce eagles,
In the motion of flight,
Never have I endured such sorrow,
Until that night.
I can read thy dreams my child,
Your fate is laid,
Your brave husband will not know fear,
Before its too late.
Speak not to me of love and loss,
I deny it all,
Plan to remain pure as I am,
Until death's call,
My heart remains unbroken,
And ever sealed,
To never know the love of man,
Never feel the steel.
I can read thy dreams my child,
Your fate is laid,
Your brave husband will not know fear,
Before its too late.
He will offer the ring as a symbol of a promise,
But all she wants is what awoke her: a hero's kiss.
Guilt ridden valkyrie, She will ride into the flames,
To cleanse the ring she wears of the curse and all her blame,
Slayer of a dictator, Hero and narrator of this tale,
Many lives ruined by the ring, All of them will fail."

"Behold you puny mortals,
For I have forged the ring,
With magic dwarven fire,
To create a king,
Dictatorship, Power absolute,
The masses pray and cower,
As their souls' pollute.
I, Loki the God,
Of mischief and chaos,
Will steal Advari's ring,
Then I will be the boss.
So if you take my gold,
Then I will cast my curse,
Whoever wears my ring,
Will rule the universe,
So if you take my gold,
Then I will cast my curse,
Whoever wears my ring,
Will live in hell on earth.
Loki at my door,
Seeks hospitality,
What is this pelt he wears,
Skin of my family,
Killed my youngest son,
Left me blind with rage,
I imprison a god,
Inside a mystic cage.
How will you compensate,
This loss that you've caused me,
Give me that magic ring,
And I might set you free.
So if you take my gold,
Then I will cast my curse,
Whoever wears my ring,
Will rule the universe,
So if you take my gold,
Then I will cast my curse,
Whoever wears my ring,
Will live in hell on earth.

"Brother of Regin,
Scheming dwarven cad,
Twisted by the ring, And greed.
Transformed to a dragon,
To better guard his hoard,
Blessed with dragon scales,
And fire he doth breathe.
He dwells,
In darkest cave,
To the ring,
He is a slave.
Subterranean,
He's reptilian,
Subterranean,
Sick, With greed and sin.
His vice,
He caves in everytime,
Bloated, Corrupt and insane.
Patient,
He waits,
For a worthy foe,
To enter his kingdom of pain.
He dwells,
In darkest cave,
To the ring,
He is a slave.
Subterranean,
He's reptilian,
Subterranean,
Sick, With greed and sin."

"As I enter the room of fire, (burned alive),
I must strip her of her armour, (she's trapped inside),
I must free my lovely bride, (from this love suicide),
Will we make it out alive, (or our love be denied).
I renounce the world of Gods,
Life bringing love, And laugh at death.
What dwarf would scheme,
What dragon would dare, (challenge our sweetness),
To come between the love we share, (leave us lonely and loveless),
True love's kiss and you will be mine, (don't forget me my sweet),
To live on through the passing of time, (awake you from your deathly sleep).
I renounce the world of Gods,
Life bringing love, And laugh at death.
He will offer the ring,
As a symbol of a promise,
But all she wants is what a awoke her: a hero's kiss.
Dragon slayer and maiden,
Their love forsaken, Cursed and doomed,
A funeral wreathed in fire will be their honeymoon."

"How has this tale come to this?
Betrayed by magic of a witch.
My first love, My heart's desire,
Once more divided by the fire.
Assembled by the riverside,
We construct a funeral pyre,
To farewell a hero betrayed.
End the curse,
Cleanse the ring,
End the curse,
Cleanse the ring.
Brynhild, Did this,
To me, Infected me,
This curse, Unclean,
This hex, She gave to me,
Brynhild, Did this,
To me, Infected me,
This curse, Unclean,
This hex, She gave to me,
Gave to me.
Feelings of guilt deep inside,
Act of passion now he's died,
Curse of the ring caused so much pain,
Claim the cleansed from my remains.
Assembled by the riverside,
We construct a funeral pyre,
To farewell a hero betrayed.
End the curse,

"Monstrous winter, frost and biting wind,
Civil war among humanity.
At last the wolf will catch it's prey,
Ceaseless hunt since the dawn of time.
What am I, Afraid of?
Living in, The unknown,
Nothing now, Can stop the race,
Heading towards, The Wolf age.
Shaking world, Where mountains will collapse,
Ice and ocean drown the dying land.
Giant ship made from nails of the dead,
Journey towards the battle-field.
What am I, Afraid of?
Living in, The unknown,
Planet Earth, With no sun,
The brutal end, Has begun.
Ragnarok, Ragnarok, Ragnarok.
Odin Lord advance upon this host,
Thor strike mighty tool to serpent head.
Frost giants will battle with the Gods,
Where no solider will escape alive.
What am I, Afraid of?
Living in, The unknown,
Nothing now, Can stop the race,
Heading towards, The Wolf age.
Ragnarok, Ragnarok, Ragnarok."
