| I like this song very much, it has some sort of power that lets me listen to it again and again. I got only a little problem understanding spoken/sung german and most of the german songs just don't sound properly in english. BTW does anybody know if these lyrics are by In Extremo or are they just singing an existing text? Is it my failing memory or is it true that F. Schiller has written a similiar (or exactly this one) ballade? :) Ah, and it's quite a nice thing to make a little drama act based on the situation described ;) | |

| There are almost no comments on any song of In Ex and one was, that they are not understood because they are in german. Most germans don't understand english lyrics but hear about only 5% of their music in german and just listen to the music and the voice. Maybe there are even some more who like In Extremo, but can't understand it, so I'll make some translations of the some of their best songs: "Bards Curse Once there was a king, rich in land and victories Who sat on his throne, gloomy and pale What he thinks is terror, what he sees is wrath What he says is scurge, what he writes is blood Once there traveled a pair of bards to this castle One with black curls, the other with grey hair The grey spoke to the young: "Be prepared my son, Play the best songs, sing the fullest notes." It's raining, it's raining blood It's raining the bards curse The two bards are playing hin the grand hall On the throne are sitting the king and queen The king as glorious as bloody nothern light (?) The queen as sween as the sunshine They sing of spring, love, holyness She was taken by awe, lust had been there, too "You've blended my folk, do you demand my wife now?" The king is screaming angry, his whole body is shaking It's raining, it's raining blood It's raining the bards curse The kings sword flashing thrust in the youngs chest Instead of golden songs, now blood is streaming The young has died in his masters arms There the old one screams terrifying, the marble hall shatters "You cursed murderer, you curse of the bards trade For nothing be your deeds, blood taints your deeds" No book tells of the kings name, and no heroes poem Lost and forgotten - that's the bards curse It's raining, it's raining blood It's raining the bards curse." As said before this one is about the power of bards or even just those people who are admired be the common people. | |

| This song is about the might of bards, because when they dont sing about something, even a kingdom, it can be forgotten soon. In this case its a curse. A cruel and evil king killed a young bard because he performed so well that the queen fell in love, so the other bards will punish the king by their means. | |

| @sjrv The song is based on the poem "Des Sängers Fluch" by Ludwig Uhland http://ingeb.org/Lieder/esstandi.html. It is one of my In Extremo favorites. 1 | |
