In this maze of green and white In a forest dark and wild In have been before or will I be? I lost my sense of time
Three years I roamed in hell alone I felt like dying but I can’t Suddenly there is a distant voice from outside So close the book again And risk a flash of light
I have to race the seas to regain my honor To be worthy of loving you, my bride
I wonder is there a place left on earth Or is it gone since I’ve turned the key? Only your picture will keep me sane I can see the prints of your feet on the beach But at every spot They are leading away from me And I fear that with a splashing wave They are drawn back to the sea
I have to race the seas…
And then the tide will rise again But you’re out of sight So for a while I’ll rest here by the shore Until my future will recur
Now you are stuck under the same old star And there is no way out, believe me I have tried them all So sit down, let’s have that whiskey without jar It seems like yesterday That I’ve seen your final fate
There’s a trap somewhere around Better watch your step Don’t be brave just let her down You will drown And when the lightning strikes you and you die My precognitions fade And I see you in another life
