And whence the Vogel sang its song
awoken from my dreams
my flight against my destiny
prone helpless doth it seemed
I sat bestirred my heart afire
life's echoes raged in my mind
to rule what once - the best of me
oh.. so treacherous bane's design
I fell upon my knees in vain
screamed hoarse into the night
the rhythm of my blood, drained full
... ne'er concede the fight
All through the night my heart, bestilled
love's ichor 'pon the floor
my head held up, I would not yield
to lose her...
my soul abhorred
