Lyrics A German Requiem - Sol Invictus

A German Requiem

Lorelei whispers, as the river bends
Love Letters, they never had the chance to send
A German requiem
All is overgrown, as there’s no one here to tend
Only broken glass and marks you cannot spend
A German requiem
A prince in his castle, a thief in his den
With thirty pieces of silver, and the murder of a friend
A German requiem
Barbed tongues and barbed wire
Dark angels descend
The dead with swords, the dead with pens
A German requiem
