Lyrics:

Past the hamlet

The soft orphan gleans some scanty ears

Her eyes graze roundly

And golden in the dusk

And her lap

Waits for the heavenly groom



How sad this evening is



I'm a shadow

Far away of sinister villages

I drank God's silence

Of the grove's well



As they returned

The shepherds found her sweet body

Decayed in the thorn bush

Cold metal gets at my brow

Spiders search for my heart

It's a light switched off in my mouth



How sad this evening is



I'm a shadow

Far away of sinister villages

I drank God's silence

Of the grove's well



I found myself on the heath at night

Full of garbage and stardust

Again clinked crystal angels



I'm a shadow

Far away of sinister villages

I drank God's silence

Of the grove's well
