In Extremo Ministrel`s Curse (englische Übersetzung) Lyrics

Ministrel`s Curse (englische Übersetzung) Lyrics

Once upon a time there was a king rich in land and things 
He sat on his throne dark and pale 
What he thinks is horror, what he sees is anger 
What he says is scourge, what he writes is blood 
 
Once a singer duo moved to this castle  
One with black curls, the other with grey hair 
The grey-haired one said to the boy: "Be prepared my son, 
Play the best songs, hit the most harmonious note!" 
 
It rains, it rains blood 
It ranis the minstrel`s curse 
 
Both singers played in the high room with huge columns 
The royal couple sat on the throne 
The king as regal as bloody north light 
The queen as sweet as sunshine 
 
They sing of springtide, love, healing 
They flow into melancholy, lust was also there 
You have blinded my nation, are you demanding my wife? 
The king shouts furiously, his whole body trembling 
 
It rains, it rains blood …  
 
Glinting, the king`s sword pierced the chest of the youth 
Instead of the golden songs only a stream of blood flows 
The youth crumbles in his master`s arms  
The old man shouts spine-chillingly, the marble room explodes 
 
You cursed murderer, you curse of the minstrel`s deed 
Your rings are all for nothing, your deeds are covered with blood 
The king`s name does not sound in any song, no book of heroes 
Sunk and forgotten - that is the curse of the minstrel 
 
It rains, it rains blood …
