Es war einmal ein König
an Land und Dingen reich
Der saß auf seinem Throne
Finster und bleich
Was er sinnt, ist Schrecken
Was er blickt - ist Wut
Was er spricht, ist Geißel
Was er schreibt - ist Blut
Einst zog zu diesem Schlosse
ein edles Sängerpaar
Einer schwarze Locken - der Andere grau von Haar
Der Graue sprach zum Jungen:
Sei bereit, mein Sohn! Spiel die besten Lieder
Stimm an den vollsten Ton
Es regnet - es regnet Blut!
Es regnet - den Spielmann´s Fluch!
Es regnet, es regnet Blut!
Es regnet - den Spielmannsfluch!
Es spielen die beiden Sänger
im hohen Säulensaal;
Auf dem Throne sitzt, das Königspaar
Der König so prächtig wie blutiger Nordenschein
Die Königin - so süß wie der Sonnenschein
Sie singen von Lenz - Liebe, Heiligkeit
Sie zerfloß in Wehmut - Lust war auch dabei
Ihr habt mein Volk geblendet, verlangt ihr nun
mein Weib?
Der König schreit wütend - er bebt
am ganzen Leib
Es regnet - es regnet Blut
Es regnet, den Spielmann´s Fluch!
Es regnet, es regnet Blut
Es regnet - den Spielmannsfluch!!
Des Königs Schwert blitzend des Jünglings
Brust durchdringt;
Statt der goldnen Lieder -
nun ein Blutstrahl springt
Der Jüngling hat verröchelt
in seines Meisters Arm
Da schreit der Alte schaurig
der Marmorsaal zerspringt:
Du verfluchter Mörder
Du Fluch des Spielmann´s Tun;
Umsonst war all dein Ringen
denn Blut befleckt dein Ruhm
Des Königs Namen meldet
Kein Lied - kein Heldenbuch
Versunken und Vergessen
Das ist des Spielmann´s Fluch!!
Es regnet - es regnet Blut
Es regnet, den Spielmann´s Fluch!
Es regnet, es regnet Blut

In Extremo is a German medieval metal band originating from Berlin. The band's musical style combines metal with medieval traditional songs, blending the sound of the standard rock/metal instruments with historical instruments (such as the bagpipes, harp, hurdy-gurdy and shawm). Versions of well-known traditional/medieval ballads make up the main part of their repertoire, but the band has written an increasing share of original material in recent years. Their own material is written in German, whilst the traditional songs are in a variety of languages, including Gaelic, Spanish, English, Norwegian, Swedish, Icelandic, French, Estonian, Hebrew, Latin, Occitan, Old High German.
