1. The Ring

[Instrumental]

2. Rheingold

In the depths of the river
Deep in the waves
Three rhinemaidens are singing
Songs of the brave

An ugly dwarf
Greedy with pleasure
Desires the gold,
Tries to steal the treasure

Guardians of the holy treasure
No cheat should steal it from the river
Gleaming glow in the water's depth
Shines brightly, bravely through the waves

Rheingold, Rheingold
Rheingold, Rheingold

Who denies love
Who forfeits its power
Can attain the magic
To forge a ring

If you are enarmoured
And longing for love
Let's see my handsome
What you look like

Guardians of the holy treasure
No cheat should steal it from the river
Gleaming glow in the water's depth
Shines brightly, bravely through the waves

Rheingold, Rheingold
Rheingold, Rheingold

Aren't you afraid
Brood of the waters
Then conquer the dark,
And I'll put out your light

I wrench the gold from the rock
Forge the ring of revenge
For hell and the devil
I curse my love

Guardians of the holy treasure
No cheat should steal it from the river
Who from the Rheingold will fashion the ring
Win the world's wealth and will be king

3. Valhalla

A sultry haze hangs in the air
A lightning storm cuts through the sky
Thunder, the master, calling for the clouds
Thunder, your master, summons you to this place

Boldly tread this fearless path
Don't fear the giant's wrath

Over the mountains
The sun rises up
A castle of gold
Shines through the clouds

The gods awaken
Out of their dreams
Crossing the vally
To the rainbow bridge

Valhalla
Valhalla
Valhalla
Valhalla

Shrouded from the pale cold night
In the east you'll see its blinding light
From Dusk to Dawn - in peace and serenity
Follow the King and dwell with me

Boldly tread this fearless path
Don't fear the giant's wrath

Over the mountains
The sun rises up
A castle of gold
Shines through the clouds

The gods awaken
Out of their dreams
Crossing the vally
To the rainbow bridge

Valhalla
Valhalla
Valhalla
Valhalla

4. Giants

Sacred hall, eternal might
Endless fame, see the golden light
Son of the dark, Godess of youth,
Sacrifice her, and pay the price

Forever you'll be guilty
Forever you'll be free
Forever you'll be strong
Forever you will live in peace

Giants
Giants
Giants

But in the light of day, pay us penance
Instead of the godess, we'll have the ring
Brother take heed, don't be greedy
The gold, the treasure, is mine forever

I have slain my brother
Cause we hate each other
I have changed my face
To the dragon's race

Giants
Giants
Giants

Giants
Giants
Giants

5. Maidens Of War

Father tell me, what's troubling you
How your worries upset your child
I saw his eyes, heard his words
I realized the hero's solemn distress

Confide in me, I'm loyal to you
But I can't kill, your son, your blood

Killing, fighting for victory
Killing, fighting the enemy
Killing, fighting in agony
Killing, dying for glory

Maidens of war
Children of the gods
Farewell - farewell
Maidens of war

You slaughter, you've killed your flesh
Why you deny, the love with pain and death
Your spear destroyed the glorious sword
Broke into nameless steel forever

Killing, fighting for victory
Killing, fighting the enemy
Killing, fighting in agony
Killing, dying for glory

Maidens of war
Children of the gods
Farewell - farewell
Maidens of war

Why, why, why commit the cruel murder
Why, why, why I 'm imprisoned by the holy fire

Maidens of war
Children of the gods
Farewell - farewell
Maidens of war

6. Sword

Stranger tell me - the story behind
How my mother died - as I was a child
My father was killed - in a fight till death
He gave me this sword - with his last breath

This foolish dwarf - it seems so clear
Can't forge the steel - cause he's full of fear
Only the one - who feels no terror
Can forge the steel - and create it anew

Steel by steel
The hammer falls
Shaping me - a deadly sword
With fire and power - I do well
I curse it with a magic spell

Fire, fire - blow on the blaze
Smelt the splinters - of my steel
Glorious sword - now you're fixed in the hilt
And I spread out - to kill the dragon

Steel by steel
The hammer falls
Shaping me - a deadly sword
With fire and hammer - I do well
I curse it with a magic spell

7. Dragon

A savage dragon in the dark cavern mouth
A rancid below pours from it
If you are spatterd with his venomous poison
Beware and protect from his swishing tail

Kill kill the dragon
Kill kill - the beast inside
Kill kill the dragon
Victory is by my side

He thrust the sword into the dragon's guts
Pierced his heart and shut his mouth
He tasted the blood and listened to the birds
Who told him about the liars words

Kill kill the dragon
Kill kill - the beast inside
Kill kill the dragon
Victory is by my side

8. Liar

Night is falling
Brothers in blood
Invincible in their faith

Deceiver, believer,
Stronger than steel
Insanity is what I feel

Here I stand
Take my hand
Let us flee
To be free

I'm a liar
I'm a sinner
I feel pain
Running through my veins

I'm a liar
I'm a sinner
I feel pain
Of my own destiny

Fighting, dying,
Revenge in blood
Listen to the tongues of hate

Destroyer, betrayer,
Witness of love
Sadness is my lonley fate

Here I stand
Take my hand
Let us flee
To be free

I'm a liar
I'm a sinner
I feel pain
Running through my veins

I'm a liar
I'm a sinner
I feel pain
Of my own destiny

9. Murderer

You bloody liar
I feel the spear
You've spread the poison
And I've learned my lesson
I hear the wind,
Whispering in my ear
I see the light of day
I feel death is near

Murderer - What have you done
Murderer - The hero's gone
Murderer - With pain you shall die
Murderer - Your soul will cry

The sun goes down, the night is falling
Gods of darkness surround my soul
You faceless evil, you took my blood,
Heaven knows who murdered me

Murderer - What have you done
Murderer - The hero's gone
Murderer - With pain you shall die
Murderer - Your soul will cry

10. Twilight Of The Gods

Stack stout logs for me in pile
By the shore of the Rhine
High and bright let a fire blaze
For the noble hero
With his sword he shall burn
The horse by his side
So cast your eyes on my pain and grief
Behold your eternal guilt

Twilight of the gods
Twilight of the gods

Feel my hatred, mighty gods
My screams break the silent air
I 'll take your gold, give it away
To free my self from the magic curse
You will burn deep in hell
For the murder of my love
Darkness near, the Rhine overflows,
Higher and higher, waves grow

Twilight of the gods
Twilight of the gods
Twilight of the gods
Twilight of the gods

Bright flames set fire to the hall
Valhalla's end is near
Gods and heroes are lost in the hall
See Valhalla's fall

Twilight of the gods
Twilight of the gods
Twilight of the gods
Twilight of the gods

11. Hero

I am just a fearless hero
I still haven't learned to fear
I am the almighty hero
Death calls me a fearless being

The dead can tell no tales
When my sword never lies
I'll discover the treasure
The hoard in the game

Will I possess the holy ring
Become the ruler or the king
Or will I fight its keeper
The bringer of torture and pain

I am just a fearless hero
I still haven't learned to fear
I am the almighty hero
Death calls me a fearless being

Fire speeds through every vein
I have no brothers
Have no sisters
My mother was dead
My father was slain
I never saw them in my life

I was forced to slay the dragon
Forced to kill the wicked one
How can I break through this place
[?And wake the rightful me no more?]

I am just a fearless hero
I still haven't learned to fear
I am the almighty hero
Death calls me a fearless being

Hero, hero, hero.
Hero, hero, hero.
Hero, hero, hero.
Hero, hero, hero.
Hero, hero, hero.
Hero, hero, hero.

12. Goodbye

Forever you'll smile
Forever you'll breath
Forever you'll live in my heart

If I could rise...
If I could fly...
I would catch the stars from the sky...

Goodbye my love,
Goodbye my life,
Goodbye my sweet romance,
Forever you'll be mine,
You'll be mine...

You are my soul,
You are my light,
I'll need you somewhere out in the night...

I feel you in me,
I feel you in here,
You whispering words in my ear

Goodbye my love,
Goodbye my life,
Goodbye my sweet romance,
Forever you'll be mine,
You'll be mine...
