10. King of the Nordic Twilight

Ille dise fastus, fastus est per lege

Per quem lege lice, licebit agi

Studia nostra nostrae, nostrae naturae re

Regula metiamur, naturae regula

Cruor signaverat, signaverat herbam

Innocentium cruor, domine domine

Propemodum saecul, saeculi res in un

Res in unum diem, fortuna cumulat

Quis tam animo agresti fuit ut non commoveretur?

Tu te dictis praebere me, dictis praebere memento

Luna solis lumine collustratur

Mors morte pianda est

Soon the dew of morning filled the silent wood

And when the sunbeams kissed his face

He opened his so lucky eyes in front of him the oak

The whispers of the river, the freshness of the dawn

Oh, my god, where was I...

A land where my dreams rule

Where hopes of victory become reality for every man

That hardly raised the steel

The fight for peace of reign is so won once again

Warriors, battles, swords of steel and magic, tragic destinies

Glory, pride and honor for my will for justice everywhere

I can’t believe what I have seen in that fantasy world of mystery

Many warriors and kings, thousands of swords of steel all united for victory

I speak to you for the last time before we ride to the sun

I could survive in your proud heart ‘cause you are now one of us!

We’re the kings of the Nordic twilight

We’re the lords of ice and snow

For the love we fight

For the peace we ride

For the skies we’ll reign together

Then he felt on his knees having heard all those words

And moved by the honor so... “oh, no my lord too much for me

I still cannot believe, the chance you give me is so great... I am a blessed man!”

Now convinced of the power of what love can do

And while the whispers of the brave began to fade

He understood that life wouldn’t be the same

With all emotions of today he would have found his way

Warriors, battles, swords of steel and magic, tragic destinies

Glory, pride and honor for my will for justice everywhere

I can’t believe what I have seen in that fantasy world of mystery

Many warriors and kings, thousands of swords of steel all united for victory

At last also I know truly what love can do

So try to live at your best and ride from the sun to the moon

We’re the kings of the Nordic twilight

We’re the lords of ice and snow

For the love we fight

For the peace we ride

For the skies we’ll reign together

“And finally the silent woods of Valdaran greet the fierce battalion

Victory rides in the heart of all nature, and light and shadows play all over the land

Before the lord of twilight giver the knights a deserved rest...”

But not too long, my friends, because evil is riding now

Along the border between earth and hell...

May now your kingdom prevail!

I speak to you for the last time before we ride to the sun

I could survive in your proud heart ‘cause you are now one of us!

At last also I know truly what love can do

So try to live at your best and ride from the sun to the moon

We’re the kings of the Nordic twilight

We’re the lords of ice and snow

For the glory we fight

For the peace we ride

For the skies we’ll reign together

Cruor signaverat, signaverat herbam

Innocentium cruor, domine, domine

Propemodum saecul, saeculi res in un

Res in unum diem, fortuna cumulat

Quis tam animo agresti fuit ut non commoveretur?

Domine, domine

Perpetua gloria

Raise high your steel friends, because evil is riding now

Along the border between earth and hell

May the wise kingdom

May the wise kingdom

May the wise kingdom prevail!
