Haggard "Tales of Ithiria" lyrics

Tales of Ithiria

Quando coeli movendi sunt et terraQuando coeli movendi sunt et terraDum veneris judicare saeculum per ignem

My son, now listen what I say:Keep in mind what you have learnedWrap your fingers 'round your swordMaybe you will not returnThousands that we once have beenOnly a few are still hereI've to give this sacrifice...

... oh, the autumn brought us fear!

My life, my blood, my tears, my painI'm the guardener of theeThrough an axestrike I have lostThe ability to seeNow my child, your time hath comeMercy - not with those you'll harmWrap your fingers 'round your sword...

(And the ones we love will fallLike autumn leavesOn these endless fields)

... as the horn sounds the alarm!

Und als der Sturm begannAls Fleisch auf Eisen trafHell wie der Glocken KlangDie Schreie derer, deren Glück versagt

Mit Wunden übersätDer Eichenhain ihm Schutze botWie die Legende sagtWar dies des Vaters sich'rer Tod

Now that all silence was disturbedThe Ground, as red as autumn leafsFather Frost, the last they feelOn these mighty, endless fields

Quando coeli movendi sunt et terraDum veneris judicare saeculum per ignem

Hush hush, my childMother death is your brideIf you listen her song you will followSo better bewareLet your senses take careYour innocent mind will be hallowed

A step in the dark(Miserere Dominus)A secret to hide(Rex tremendae majestatis)A legend to tell(Libera eas)Drowned in the waters of time(Miserere Dominus)

A secret to hide

He holdsWisdom of ancient timesA parchment with numbers and rhymesFear speaks the spell to surviveThe circle of druids - alive!

They all gathered in the nightWithin the torches lightAs their slumber did awake

So I did wish a thousand timesMother Death would come to meIn her arms I will entwineAnd I'm rising up to theeNow my child, my time hath comeMercy - not with those I'll harmI wrap my fingers 'round my sword...

... as their horn sounds the alarm!

Now the winter beginsOn these endless fields

Tales of Ithria

When heaven and earth will be moved When heaven and earth will be moved You will judge the world with fire*

My son, now listen what I say: Keep in mind what you have learned Wrap your fingers 'round your sword Maybe you will not return Thousands that we once have been Only a few are still here I've to give this sacrifice...

... oh, the autumn brought us fear!

My life, my blood, my tears, my pain I'm the guardener of thee Through an axestrike I have lost The ability to see Now my child, your time hath come Mercy - not with those you'll harm Wrap your fingers 'round your sword...

(And the ones we love will fall Like autumn leaves On these endless fields)

And when the storm began When flesh and iron collided as high sounded the bells as the scream of them, who don't allow happiness

while strewn with wounds, the oak forest offered him refuge As the legend says This sure was the father's death

Now that all silence was disturbed The Ground, as red as autumn leafs Father Frost, the last they feel On these mighty, endless fields

When heaven and earth will be moved You will judge the world with fire

Hush hush, my child Mother death is your bride If you listen her song you will follow So better beware Let your senses take care Your innocent mind will be hallowed

A step in the dark (Have mercy, lord) A secret to hide (King of tremendous majesty**) A legend to tell (Release them [women]) Drowned in the waters of time (Have mercy, lord)

A secret to hide

He holds Wisdom of ancient times A parchment with numbers and rhymes Fear speaks the spell to survive The circle of druids - alive!

They all gathered in the night Within the torches light As their slumber did awake

So I did wish a thousand times Mother Death would come to me In her arms I will entwine And I'm rising up to thee Now my child, my time hath come Mercy - not with those I'll harm I wrap my fingers 'round my sword...

... as their horn sounds the alarm!

Now the winter begins On these endless fields
