Ode to Odette
Meine Step Mama called me over to say
You will go for a walk in the forest today
With tears in his eyes my Papa sighs
Meine Kinde thou must come with me
He does not know we heard her say
That Papa must take us away
Good Hansel lays a trail of stones
To follow home through the trees
Meine Step Mama called me over to say
You will go for a walk in the forest today
She packed some bread and off we set
Meine Papa, und Hansel and me
Hansel lay his breadcrumbs on the ground
Now Papa's gone and they're nowhere to be found
These birds have feasted on our trail back home
In this forest, forever we will roam
The hunger sets in
The darkness descends
We're starving and crying
Is this how it ends?
We're hopelessly lost
No chance to be found
Our Mama and Papa
Don't want us around
Wolves are howling in the trees...
Is this how it ends? Is this how it ends?
A hearty meal for a hungry beast
Is this how it ends? Is this how it ends?
What is that?
Do my eyes deceive?
A gingerbread house
Beyond those trees!
The walls are made of gingerbread!
The door is coated with chocolate!
And from the roof white icing drips!
My tummy rumbles, I lick my lips!
Hello my dears!
Well come on in!
There's plenty to eat here!
You look so thin!
Get warm round the fire!
And rest for a while!
Children are my favourite!
You make me smile!
You'll taste so good
When you're baked in pie!
Climb in that oven
No! Don't push me!
I'm burning!
Sweet children please save me!
I'm burning!
We saved the day, we killed the witch
More food for us, we ate the bitch
We know now how cruel this world is
And so that's how we must be
So here we'll hunt and here we'll stay
Awaiting those who wander away
And never will we go hungry again
We'll feed on those lost in the trees
You will go for a walk in the forest today
With tears in his eyes my Papa sighs
Meine Kinde thou must come with me
He does not know we heard her say
That Papa must take us away
Good Hansel lays a trail of stones
To follow home through the trees
Meine Step Mama called me over to say
You will go for a walk in the forest today
She packed some bread and off we set
Meine Papa, und Hansel and me
Hansel lay his breadcrumbs on the ground
Now Papa's gone and they're nowhere to be found
These birds have feasted on our trail back home
In this forest, forever we will roam
The hunger sets in
The darkness descends
We're starving and crying
Is this how it ends?
We're hopelessly lost
No chance to be found
Our Mama and Papa
Don't want us around
Wolves are howling in the trees...
Is this how it ends? Is this how it ends?
A hearty meal for a hungry beast
Is this how it ends? Is this how it ends?

And never will we go hungry again
We'll feed on those lost in the trees
