Bring Fire!
Bring coal into the forge.
Blow hard and fan the flame.
We're going to make a blade,
the finest of the age.
The furnace must be made!
The fire must be praised!
Bring Ores!
Bring iron cast and wrought,
The best we have in stock,
And throw them to the flames
And call on Wayland's name
The fire must be praised!
The furnace must be tamed!
Chorus
Fire Blaze...
(Fire Blaze... Fire Blaze... Fire Blaze.... Fire Blaze... Fire Blaze...)
In Wayland's name!
Strike Hard!
The first blow makes the blade,
That makes the master's name,
That makes a thousand graves,
That makes the soldier safe.
They cannot be afraid,
When carrying your blade!
Strike True!
And raise the hammer high!
The sparks must always fly.
Each one a holy prayer,
A ward against despair.
Now take the glowing blade,
Return it to the flame.
Chorus
Bring ice!
Fresh from the mountain top,
And fill the sacred trough,
And plunge the virgin sword,
To rectify each flaw.
The metal must be cured!
The metal must be pure!
Bring rock!
Bring granite, cord and cloth!
Bring gem and gold that’s soft!
To glorify the sword!
To glorify our lord!
Now give the sword its name,
The bond of earth and flame!
Chorus (repeated)
Fire Blaze...
(Fire Blaze... Fire Blaze... Fire Blaze.... Fire Blaze... Fire Blaze...)
In Wayland's name!
Fire Blaze...
(Fire Blaze... Fire Blaze... Fire Blaze.... Fire Blaze... Fire Blaze...)
In Wayland's name!
Coda
In Wayland’s name, I name this blade...
In Wayland’s name, I name this blade...
Marianna... Marianna... Marianna... Marianna...
Marianna... Marianna... Marianna... Marianna...
Raise the blade... Say the name...
(Marianna... Marianna... Marianna... Marianna...
Marianna... Marianna... Marianna... Marianna...)
Raise the blade... Say the name...
