Nothung from Ördrag by Heimsgard

Nothung

Worthy of great warrior from this harmful world
our young hero was brought up
by the last old blacksmith dwarf
working slowly to carry out a perfect work
with the sweaty face, the skin tanned by embers
the hands withered with years beating white-hot iron
repairing the sword of his fallen father
with the aim to face the devil at his turn.

This glittering sword comes from magic fire
the young warrior needed this weapon
to avenge his late father burnt alive
he was ready to bury the dragon.

Tearfully the knight went to the beast
armed with his new ally named Nothung
far he already heard the monster’s howling
that’d have frozen the blood of the bravest knight
suddenly his horse felt a smell of death and ran back
an anxiety grew in the young man’s heart
the confrontation got ready he couldn’t turn back
he didn’t know he fought for the last time.
