From days long gone
Lost in time...
In this gray cave
There is only room for black fear
Now that you have defeated the great dragon
Give the gold it guarded to your king
Take only the ring and Tarnhelm for yourself
And go meet your destiny
The silver reflections of a thousand carcasses
In the pale light of the moon
While you listen to the labored beating
Of your anxious heart
You know he waits for you
Lurking in the darkness
With his burning jaws
But do not be afraid of him
While you listen to the labored beating
Of your anxious heart
His shining claws
They quiver in the darkness
To taste your flesh
But do not be afraid of him
Mighty dragon
Show yourself
Guardian of the gold
You know that he does not I'm afraid of you
[Chorus]
Fafner, you who were a giant
You who dared to challenge the gods
Be afraid of him
Fafner, you who were a giant
You who dared to challenge the gods
Be afraid of him
Dig a hole and pierce his heart
Kiss him with your sweet Nothung
Let his blood flow
Do not be afraid of his blood
His blood will make you immortal
His blood will make you omniscient
His eyes will see the traitor
Fight, fight, fight, fight
Do not be afraid of his blood
[Chorus]
Bathe, cover yourself, inside him
Feed on his dragon's heart
And his courage will be yours
Eat his heart
And his courage will be yours
Eat his heart
Eat his heart
