Originally inspired by the thought of a medieval knight stuck in a pig sty. Here's a transcript of the lyrics in Old English and the translation in modern English:
Old English:
Ugh... swīn stī...
Mīn bōg is fæst on þissum fūlum fenn-lande,
þā swīn grūnlāt, ne cann ic þis gewinn understandan.
Mīn fōt sincþ dēop, besmiten mid þām drēore,
Ic hrēame, ac nān mann ne gehȳrþ mīne stefne!
Ic fehte wið þis fennlic gewrixle,
Mid ealre cræfte, þis bǣl-ǣwend gefixle!
AlƲng fæst! (alƲng fæst!)
Modern English:
Ugh... Pig sty...
My limb is stuck in this foul fen-land (muddy land),
The swine grunt, I cannot understand this struggle.
My foot sinks deep, defiled with the filth,
I scream, but no man hears my voice!
I fight against this marshy tangle,
With all my strength, [to] fix this disaster!
Held fast! (Held fast!)
