The Drowned
When she was drowned and swam
From the brooks into great rivers
The opal of heaven seemed very wondrous
As if to appease the corpse
Seaweed stayed with her
So that it slowly became much heavier
Cold was the fish, which swam at her body
Plants weighed down her last ride
And in the evening – the sky drew dark as smoke
And the night held the light - in the balance with the stars
In the evening – the sky drew dark as smoke
And the night held the light - in the balance with the stars
As her pale body rotted – away in the trench
It was slow as God – began to forget her
First her face starts to perish – then her hands and her hair
She became carrion – in the rivers which are running deep
The last parts of her body – they disappear
Now it's time that God – finally forgot her
The last pieces are rotten – now are one with the earth
She became part of us – in the rivers which are running deep
And in the evening – the sky drew dark as smoke
And the night held the light in the balance with the stars
In the evening – the sky drew dark as smoke
And the night held the light in the balance with the stars
It was early – it was bright – birds were singing
Still give love and peace for her – in the morning and evening light
It was early – it was bright – birds were singing
Still give love and peace for her – in the morning and evening light
In the morning and evening light
From the brooks into great rivers
The opal of heaven seemed very wondrous
As if to appease the corpse
Seaweed stayed with her
So that it slowly became much heavier
Cold was the fish, which swam at her body
Plants weighed down her last ride
And in the evening – the sky drew dark as smoke
And the night held the light - in the balance with the stars
In the evening – the sky drew dark as smoke
And the night held the light - in the balance with the stars
As her pale body rotted – away in the trench
It was slow as God – began to forget her
First her face starts to perish – then her hands and her hair
She became carrion – in the rivers which are running deep
The last parts of her body – they disappear
Now it's time that God – finally forgot her
The last pieces are rotten – now are one with the earth
She became part of us – in the rivers which are running deep
And in the evening – the sky drew dark as smoke
And the night held the light in the balance with the stars
In the evening – the sky drew dark as smoke
And the night held the light in the balance with the stars
It was early – it was bright – birds were singing
Still give love and peace for her – in the morning and evening light
It was early – it was bright – birds were singing
Still give love and peace for her – in the morning and evening light
In the morning and evening light
