Battlefield Magic

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
