Bärenpelz und Wolfsmantel
Thrudvangar Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
verbissen in ihre Schilde
stark wie die Bären
auf ihrem Weg alles Niedermähen
unverwundbar durch Feuer und Eisen
Berserkir mit der Kraft des Bären
Ulfhednar mit der Stärke des Wolfs
schreiend vom Blutdurst erfüllt
Mit Glauben und Hilfe der Götter
große Siege im Kampf errungen
auf dem Schlachtfeld der Ehre
von Kriegern ohne Furcht vorm Tod
Mit Kraft die von Odin verliehen
Schulter an Schulter mit den Helden
Der Ruhm der letzten Schlacht
sichert ihnen ein Platz im Walhall
Refrain:
Schrei dann Bärenpelz
Blutbad hatten Sie im Sinn
helt dann der Wolfsmantel
und Waffen wurden dann geschwungen
The lyrics to Thrudvangar's song Bärenpelz und Wolfsmantel describe a group of warriors, referred to as Berserkers and Ulfhednars, who have the strength of a bear and a wolf, respectively. They are described as being invincible against fire and iron, and are shown charging into battle, fueled by their bloodlust. These warriors have faith in the gods and have experienced great victories on the battlefield, earning them a place in Valhalla. The chorus of the song repeats the imagery of the "bear's fur" and "wolf's mantle" worn by these warriors as they engage in bloody battle.
The song draws on mythology and the historical use of Norse warriors known as Berserkers and Ulfhednars. Berserkers were known for wearing a bear or wolf fur during battle, which gave them a sense of invincibility and heightened their bloodlust. Ulfhednars were believed to have the strength and ferocity of a wolf. The song also references Valhalla, the afterlife for warriors who die in battle in Norse mythology.
