1268

Illegitimate pretender on the throne

The Hohenstaufen blood is running thin

The time to act is growing ever nearer

Konradin take up thy sword

And take that which you know well to be yours

Prepare thyself to march straight into battle

Take by force the thread of destiny

"Bright victim

To ambition's altar led

Crowned with all the flowers

That Heaven on Earth can shed"

Met on the Palentine Plains

A glorious final charge

Brave Konradin

Fails to take the thread of destiny

"Bright victim

To ambition's altar led

Crowned with all the flowers

That Heaven on Earth can shed"

Weak Konradin

Your throne remains out of reach

Flee from the field you coward!

Your bloodline has run out
