Throne In The Sky Lyrics

[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.
