In the veil of the night I wandered about at the bole of a tree it did light I deemed it a stone at first glance, no doubt, something in me was lured by it's sight First feeble and dim but then it did shine in the shine and the colours of gold Thither I hurried, no longer I strolled Methought it was something divine Firmly I grasped it and now I beheld No precious did someone bequeath I tossed it from me and terribly yelled... A skull with a golden teeth!
First feeble and dim but then it did shine in the shine and the colours of gold That thing of aghast it rolled and it rolled till it stopped at one place of malign
Led by a dream By light deceived Light-hearted I strolled Through the night
But what the horror Of what ghastly thing? It is just a burial site...
God may know I frantically graved Where that death's head did cover the ground But what did I see! Unsound and depraved, my remains and their burial mound
Led by a dream By light deceived Light-hearted I strolled Through the night
But what the horror Of what ghastly thing? It is just a burial site...
