Throne In The Sky — Metalium

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.
