Rebellion - Ragnhild's Dream - Sagas Of Iceland - German Power Metal

Taken from the album "Sagas Of Iceland - The History Of The Vikings - Volume I" (2005 Massacre Records)

Ragnhild the daughter of Sigurd Hjort
Her father murdered and she was taken
Far away, across the fjord
A slave to be, her fate forsaken

Halfdan the Black, the King of Agder
He heard about her beauty and her sadness in life
Rescue the lady make her a queen,
Set free a slave, gain a wife

There's greatness and grace for the Northern race
A strong hand to come,
A King for the throne
He shall lead Norway on

Ragnhild's dream
A thorn in her hand
grows a tree so high
Ragnhild's dream
Rooted in blood
But the branches reach for the sky
A strong hand to come
Reach for the sun in the sky

Their son is born, a child of beauty
Grows a young man strong and fair
Harald Harfarger, Halfdan's son
Looking for dangers few men dare

King Halfdan he died at the age of forty
Leaving his people, to Odin he rode
Harald must rule the Kingdom of Agder
Praying to Thor, fate will unfold

There's greatness and grace for the Northern race
A strong hand to come,
A King for the throne
He shall lead Norway on

Ragnhild's dream
A thorn in her hand
grows a tree so high
Ragnhild's dream
Rooted in blood
But the branches reach for the sky
A strong hand to come
Reach for the sun in the sky

Hail to Halfdan the Black, if it was not for him he would not have united Norway to have his son become the first king of norway.

[steverid]

Thank you for posting this video..........this is one of the best cd's I own. Their newest one is even better. I love this band!

@hackforloser Yeah that's true. Old Norse was a lot like Old English (which is basically impossible to read since it's so different looking from modern English) but those languages you listed are close to Old Norse (and so is Icelandic)

[hackforloser]

Just a small reminder, Languages like English, German, Swedish, etc are based on the Old Norse language which died but some people speak it.

@Vommdoddus

Indeed, it's very, very close to Old Norse.

@Embla2010

In old Norse, spoken in Norway during the viking era, it's actually Ragnhildr, only if it was in the accusative tense would it be Ragnhild.
