Текст песни: The Legend + перевод

When the night falls down in the green green land

and the moon is rising up

there’s a man on the tower, standing alone

watch the clouds pass by.

He’s afraid of the dark cause he knows the truth,

that the vikings are not far,

and he can still see all the misery,

and a tear rolls down his cheek

(singin' …)

On the next day he just took his maid by the hand

and bade farewell,

he’s tired to fight, he’s tired to stand

all the evil in his land.

So he left his home on a ship that day,

to escape the war and pain,

but he’s still afraid what the future brings

and he held his lassie tight.

(singin' …)

As weeks are gone and the sea was quiet

and the sun was burning down,

his maid got sick and the captain said

that they all might die in vain.

Like an arrow on wood his head was hit

as he saw his lassie die.

And he swore to god that he won’t forget

that the vikings killed his love.

(singin' …)

Like a miracle he was coming back

and he used his weapon well,

and it only took some lazy years

'til the old men start to tell

'bout the man who forgot his destiny

and lost his love so sad,

that’s how he learned his lesson well,

that’s how a legend starts.
