[Theme:Loreley Germany]



At the old Rhine ages ago,

Up the rock above the hill

Loreley sat and sang with grace

So thousands of ships where killed



Can't you see her golden eyes

This magic spell takes you to hell

And drops you out of sight



Sailors tried to find

(the) throne in the sky

Hear their doomed souls cry

(to the) throne in the sky

Don't take the choice

So her graceful voice

Will ever be your guide, no



Seven virgins enticed the lost

Her desire, their command

So the seas they needed to cross

They would never see again



can't you see her golden eyes

this magic spell takes you to hell

and drops you out of sight



the sailors tried to find

the throne in the sky

hear their doomed souls cry

throne in the sky



[STORY:]



A huge rock in Mid Germany (132 meters above sea)

overlooks the old Rhine. It is said, that from the top

of this rock a ghost-like image of Loreley sang

sailors to their doom as they heard her

fascinating, sad voice when they passed

the bend of the river, crashing their ships

onto the rocks and sank to ground.



The tale speaks that she once was a mortal girl,

but she threw herself from the top of the rock

into the Rhine because her lover proved her unfaithful.
