| Misty veils obscure
|
| This darkened place, our home
|
| My hands are sore
|
| My life spent in toil
|
| Had to care for you
|
| Since you were born
|
| B: But hear this voice
|
| Mother’s calling us
|
| Promising tenderness and warmth
|
| Oh, sister come
|
| Can’t you hear her moan
|
| She’s out there in the fen
|
| S: Shall I fall, shall I fall, shall I fall for you
|
| Shall I fall, shall I fall, shall I follow you
|
| B: This flickering sound
|
| Is guiding us
|
| To our mother’s lap behind these veils
|
| Oh, sister please
|
| Leave all that grind
|
| Let this song induce you to the light
|
| B: Shall I fall, shall I fall, shall I fall for you
|
| Shall I fall, shall I fall, shall I follow you
|
| S: My love don’t go
|
| Stay right by my side
|
| In my arms you shall sleep becalmed
|
| B: oh, sister please
|
| I’m drained and freezing
|
| The voice out there will care for us
|
| B: There’s no more fear
|
| No more pain
|
| In mother’s embrace myself entrust
|
| S: Don’t leave me now
|
| My little love
|
| In the clutches
|
| Of the black butterfly
|
| S+B: Shall I fall, shall I fall, shall I fall for you
|
| Shall I fall, shall I fall, shall I follow you
|
| S: It’s an illusion
|
| No guiding light
|
| Our mother’s dead and gone
|
| We’re all alone
|
| My brother see
|
| This twinkling shine
|
| Is a perfidious black butterflyMusic: N. Eis/ K. Kranich/ R. Hoffmann |
