| We ride all alone from the battlefield |
| The rebels beaten they had to yield |
| Banquo and I we silently ride |
| Brothers in arms side by side |
| There’s a fog which falls on the weary soul |
| It engulfs our souls as we head for home |
| The lands we pass we’ve never seen |
| Clad in a twilight like a dream |
| Out of the shade three women rise |
| Appear in features that please the eye |
| How can such grace walk the earth? |
| Can it be of human birth? |
| Their eyes glowing with unearthly light |
| Shining like diamonds in the falling night |
| They hail our names as we greet |
| Their voices sound like music sweet |
| A prophecy for great ambitions |
| A promise weaved in gold |
| Evil speaks a pleasant language |
| The evil speak a pleasant language |
| A prophecy is told |
| Hail, hail, hail Macbeth |
| Thane of Claims and Cawdor and master of death |
| All Hail Macbeth we greet thee with laughter |
| Hail Macbeth thou shalt be king hereafter |
| We bid them stay as they did turn |
| More about our fate to learn |
| Too sweet did their visions sound |
| To ambitious men for glory bound |
| They turned to Banquo and hailed his name |
| Revealing to him the greatest fame |
| My brother listened pleased and well |
| To the promises they had to tell |
| Hail Banquo, hail to thee |
| Lesser than Macbeth yet greater thou it be |
| Father of a line of kings to come |
| Hail to Banquo, the chosen one |
| Macbeth, the Thane of Glamis has won a great victory |
| Beating the rebels in a fierce battle |
| He did a great service to his king and his country |
| As King Duncan gains knowledge of this he decides to reward |
| The most noble deeds of his greatest warrior |
| He bestows the Thanehood of Cawdor on Macbeth |
| To express his gratitude |
| Even further Duncans decides to visit Macbeth |
| And to celebrate the victory together with its honorable protagonist |
| Naught does the king know about the witches prophecies |
| And the ambitions of the Thane of Glamis and Cawdor |
| Naught does he fear as he in best spirits |
| Approaches the stronghold of Macbeth |
