Fáfnis dauði (The Death of Fáfnir) | Old Norse Viking Music

Описание: When greed devours the soul, even brothers turn to serpents.
The legend of Fáfnir tells of a dwarf who murdered his father for gold, only to be cursed and transformed into a dragon guarding his hoard. Sigurðr, guided by fate and the sword Gramr, slays him, tasting the blood of wisdom and sealing his name in the Edda.

This song follows the ancient Vǫlsunga saga, blending shamanic drums, tagelharpa, war horns, and deep male chants. The rhythm evokes the clash of steel and the whisper of wyrms beneath the earth, where greed burns brighter than gold.

English Translation

[Verse 1]
Fafnir sat on gold, deeper than night,
His brother Regin betrayed him outright.
He slew his father, seized his hoard,
Turned to a serpent, by venom restored.

His teeth were white as the mountain’s ice,
His eyes were flames, unholy, precise.
His treasure gleamed, men met their woe,
The gold sang softly, and souls sank low.

[Chorus]
Fafnir’s blood runs, fire in men,
Gramr in hand, strike again.
Mountains tremble, heavens burn,
Sigurd rises, where dragons turn.

[Verse 2]
He dug a pit, with iron tight,
The serpent crept with venom’s blight.
Regin spoke: “Take all my gold,”
But the youth saw truth untold.

Blood on his lips, the birds did cry,
“Regin seeks betrayal, you soon shall die.”
The sword was raised, the brother fell,
In gold’s bright fire, forged was Hel.

[Chorus]
Fafnir’s blood runs, fire in men,
Gramr in hand, strike again.
Mountains tremble, heavens burn,
Sigurd rises, where dragons turn.

[Bridge]
Gold calls out, men are lost fast,
Fire in hearts, deceit stands steadfast.
Fafnir’s death, a mighty lore,
Sigurd lives, in songs of yore.

[Final Chorus]
Fafnir’s blood runs, fire in men,
Gramr in hand, strike again.
Mountains sing, the beasts recall,
Sigurd lives, and legends fall.
