Nerthus The Black Fortress
Proudly the stronghold's powerful walls
are rising to the thundery sky.
Towers and flags are almost appearing
to touch the mighty dark threatening clouds.
Built on a high elevation of rock -
it never has been in the enemy's hands.
(Repeat first verse of two lines)
From the towers the iron-clothed knights
are able to watch for miles and miles.
Built with the loss of hundreds of men -
it must not fall into the enemy's hands.
(Repeat first verse of two lines)
From far away the watchers perceive
the forward-movement of hostile troops.
Built of granite-blocks with hundreds of pounds -
sweat and blood flow through many decades.
Each soldier has sworn to defend it till death -
it never will fall into the enemy's hands!
