Nothung - Nothung

"Only one who has never felt fear shall forge Nothung anew"
These words echo to me from the past, it is time that they come true
Hammer shape me a sturdy sword, out of these splinters from the past
Blow bellows! Blow on the blaze! Come back to life at last

Blow, bellows! Blow on the blaze!
Blow, bellows! Blow on the blaze!

How bright nd brilliant does it glow! How bravely does it burn
The splinters smelt together, to take a shape they yearn
A fiery flood;in  fierce fury, as the bellow blows once more
In the water, it flows no more, it's starting to take form.

Masterful the hard steel is; soon it will draw hot blood
Now sweat once more so I can weld you, stillthis fiery flood
Your blue blade once ran red and blushed with a trickling gore
Now you are flushed red with the fire; Sweat for me once more

I rejoice to see those joyous sparks: The Force of fure lead the way
I've beaten you straight; Now let your blushing shame shrink away
Become as col and hard as youcan, as your new life dawns
With fire and hammer, I've done well, with stout blows your shape was formed

Now you are fixed in the hilt. You were broken but I mae you whole
No stroke shall ever again shatter you, no one that welds you fall
I've wakened you to life again, now you gleam glorious and defiant
Now show felons how you shine! Smite the false fell all knaves!

How see:
How sharp is siegfried's sword!
How sharp is siegfried's sword!

Nothung, Nothung, trusty sword!
Nothung, trusty sword!
