Lyrics of ...vom freien Willen eines schwarzen Einhorns - Nargaroth

...vom freien Willen eines schwarzen Einhorns (original)

Ich labe mein Auge an elfgrnen Hngen
An Klippen die ragen aus tosendem Meer
Seh' tausende Rsser zum Gipfel sich drngen
Voran eilt ein Schwarzes vor schneeweien Heer
Mit seidenen Fesseln erklomm es die Klippe
Doch manche es auch am Ende nicht halt
Entsetzt erstarrte die schneeweie Sippe
Als es da strzte in Fluten, so kalt
Das Schwarze erlst nun von einsamer Qual
Gestillt seine Sehnsucht von Freiheit und Willen
Mein Auge nun ruht auf herbstwelkem Tal
Ach, knnte ich auch meine Sehnsucht so stillen
So spr' ich die Sehnsucht nach khl-freiem Winde
Doch blick' ich voll Scham auf mein weies Gewand
Nachts weine ich nach dem ach' freien Kinde
Das mit dem schwarzen Einhorn verschwand
I feast my view at elf-green slopes
At reefs that rise from a roaring sea
I see a thousand horses run to the top
A black one runs in front of the snow white host
It reaches the top with silky bonds
But did not stop as it reached the end
Horrified are the snow white masses staring
As it plunged into the waves so cold
The black one now free from lonely anguish
Satisfied his longing for freedom and will
My eyes now resting on autumn withered valleys
Oh, could I satisfy my longing this way too?
So I feel the longing for fresh and free winds
But look full of shame at my white garment
At night I cry for the oh-so-free child

(translation)

I feast my eyes on eleven green slopes
On cliffs that rise from the raging sea
See thousands of steeds pushing towards the summit
A black army rushes ahead of a snow-white army
It climbed the cliff with silk chains
But some don't stop there either in the end
The snow-white clan froze in horror
As it tumbled in floods, so cold
The black now relieves from lonely torment
Satisfied his longing for freedom and will
My eye now rests on the valley withered in autumn
Oh, if only I could still my longing like that
So I feel the longing for cool-free wind
But I look at my white robe full of shame
At night I weep for the oh free child
The one with the black unicorn disappeared
I feast my view at eleven-green slopes
At reefs that rise from a roaring sea
I see a thousand horses run to the top
A black one runs in front of the snow white host
It reaches the top with silky bonds
But did not stop as it reached the end
Horrified are the snow white masses staring
As it plunged into the waves so cold
The black one now free from lonely anguish
Satisfied his longing for freedom and will
My eyes now resting on autumn withered valleys
Oh, could I satisfy my longing this way too?
So I feel the longing for fresh and free winds
But look full of shame at my white garment
At night I cry for the oh so free child
