I can’t wait another night in the gloom The queen is eager To cut off my head When the morning dawned all my friends Were dying she should know I’m still alive There’s no fear inside myself New troops are coming here The hall is set on fire Blinded by the smole I stay In the burning hall I slay my thirst by drinking blood.
My name is Hagen the cruel Heart of stone.
Sick at the sight of the carnage Was the poor king Etzel Only god would know his grief Secret orders gave the queen To kill the enemy That strongly entrenched was I can’t wait another night in the gloom I knew well I was never to return When the morning dawned all my friends Were dying she should know I’m still alive.
