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.
