Melancthe
Lyrics
| [00:15.85] |
A winter day |
| [00:18.66] |
With cold white light |
| [00:21.97] |
A child was born |
| [00:24.93] |
So fair a sight |
| [00:28.40] |
But as she grew |
| [00:31.44] |
It was to be known |
| [00:34.81] |
That on this child |
| [00:37.84] |
A curse was thrown |
| [00:47.64] |
She never uttered |
| [00:50.97] |
Word nor sound |
| [00:53.97] |
To walk in silence |
| [00:57.10] |
She was bound |
| [01:00.43] |
One day alone |
| [01:03.47] |
A strange bird sang |
| [01:06.67] |
To lift the curse |
| [01:09.46] |
This must be done |
| [01:13.32] |
First you must find |
| [01:15.80] |
An axe of gold |
| [01:19.57] |
Then an apple |
| [01:22.81] |
That never grows old |
| [01:26.19] |
Last you must find |
| [01:28.94] |
The water of life |
| [01:32.23] |
That quenches the thirst |
| [01:35.14] |
And heals all strife |
| [01:51.19] |
For seven years |
| [01:54.42] |
She wandered in pain |
| [01:57.97] |
And all her efforts |
| [02:01.29] |
Ended in vain |
| [02:04.26] |
The by a lake |
| [02:07.34] |
One morning clear |
| [02:10.69] |
She saw herself |
| [02:13.28] |
And lost all fear |
| [02:17.17] |
The golden axe |
| [02:19.87] |
Is my courage and will |
| [02:23.38] |
The apple my heart |
| [02:26.59] |
That never grows chill |
| [02:29.96] |
The water of life |
| [02:32.65] |
Is the gift to give |
| [02:36.25] |
It strengthens the soul |
| [02:38.88] |
And the joy to live |
| [02:42.82] |
So ends the tale |
| [02:45.25] |
Of the maiden who longed |
| [02:49.17] |
And lifted the curse |
| [02:52.10] |
And made her song |
