Erlkönig - Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Wer reitet so spät durch Nacht und Wind?
Es ist der Vater mit seinem Kind;
Er hat den Knaben wohl in dem Arm,
Er faßt ihn sicher, er hält ihn warm.
Mein Sohn, was birgst du so bang dein Gesicht? –
Siehst, Vater, du den Erlkönig nicht?
Den Erlenkönig mit Kron' und Schweif? –
Mein Sohn, es ist ein Nebelstreif.
"Du liebes Kind, komm, geh mit mir!
Gar schöne Spiele spiel' ich mit dir;
Manch' bunte Blumen sind an dem Strand,
Meine Mutter hat manch gülden Gewand." –
Mein Vater, mein Vater, und hörest du nicht,
Was Erlenkönig mir leise verspricht? –
Sei ruhig, bleibe ruhig, mein Kind;
In dürren Blättern säuselt der Wind. –
"Willst, feiner Knabe, du mit mir gehn?
Meine Töchter sollen dich warten schön;
Meine Töchter führen den nächtlichen Reihn,
Und wiegen und tanzen und singen dich ein." –
Mein Vater, mein Vater, und siehst du nicht dort
Erlkönigs Töchter am düstern Ort? –
Mein Sohn, mein Sohn, ich seh' es genau:
Es scheinen die alten Weiden so grau. –
"Ich liebe dich, mich reizt deine schöne Gestalt;
Und bist du nicht willig, so brauch' ich Gewalt." –
Mein Vater, mein Vater, jetzt faßt er mich an!
Erlkönig hat mir ein Leids getan! –
Dem Vater grauset's; er reitet geschwind,
Er hält in Armen das ächzende Kind,
Erreicht den Hof mit Mühe und Not;
In seinen Armen das Kind war tot.

Dark Riders, Storm Riders (Peter Hoflich)
Time the master trapper, Coming through the slaughter
Feel the rusty scalpel, In a midnight chapel
Gazing through the sky, Inky clouds drift by
Haunted visions cry, Time to do or die
Dark riders, storm riders, howling at the moon
Dark riders, storm riders, vengeance at high noon
Dark riders, storm riders, sing a murder tune
Dark riders, storm riders, howling at the moon
Breathe the stinging air, Shake your tangled hair
Clutch the leather whip, Pistols at the hip
Feel the raging blood, Drag them through the mud
Country of the dead, Hand is glowing red
Dark riders, storm riders, howling at the moon
Dark riders, storm riders, vengeance at high noon
Dark riders, storm riders, sing a murder tune
Dark riders, storm riders, howling at the moon
Burning through the night
Raging at the light
Slicing through the gloom
Kiss the hand of doom
Feel the raging fury
I am judge and jury
Riders burning bright
In night, in the night, in the night
Dark riders, storm riders, howling at the moon
Dark riders, storm riders, vengeance at high noon
Dark riders, storm riders, sing a murder tune
Dark riders, storm riders, howling at the moon

You walk the dust plains at night
Your eyes they can’t stand the light
Your lust for blood is your right
And I’m going to take my first bite
I’ve watched you for a long time
You’re weak and way past your prime
Be strong and give me a sign
Just put your hand into mine
I’ll bring you eternal joy
Ich bin dein Teufel Cowboy
The world is a fountain of sin
Your crimes will swallow you in
The hate and the madness will win
And crush your soul from within
I love your pale ghostly skin
Your teeth as sharp as a pin
A man looks-at-you and grins
And so the bloodletting begins
Your heart they want to destroy
Ich bin dein Teufel Cowboy
We watch the birds soaring high
The pain will spread ‘cross the sky
We’ll fight an eye for an eye
The world will tremble and cry
The towns were we slay are just fine
They’re on th’ Texas side of the Rhein
We twist around serpentine
Humanity’s on the decline
Listening to Willie & Roy
Ich bin dein Teufel Cowboy
I’m crazy just like Patsy Kline
I want you to always be mine
Du bist mein Vampir Fräulein
Lass mich dein Teufelprinz sein
I taught you the right way to kill
And now you do it at will
The mountains shiver with chill
And watch the blood spill & spill
The hounds have brought me a sign
Your destiny’s trapped up with mine
I see our final bloodline
It feeds on me time after time
Du bist mein Vampir Fräulein
Lass mich dein Teufelprinz sein
Du sagst zu mir “Grendhal du Schwein,
Du darfst mein Teufelprinz sein.”

This Is The Sound

This is the sound of my left hand strumming
This is the sound of my right hand fretting
This is the sound of… my guitar… when I play it… oh Lord
This is the sound of my guitar humming
This is the sound of my voice a-singing
This is the sound of my tunes a-growing
I write down all the words, then I sing them … oh Lord
This is the sound of my pipes a-ringing
This is the sound of my death metal growling
This is the sound of my black metal shrieking
This is the sound of my voice when I hum… mmm-mmm-mmm
This is the sound that gives my life meaning
This is the sound of a man feeling restless
This is the sound of a man feeling bored
This is the sound of a man in a lockdown, oh Lord
This is the sound of a man and his stresses
This is the sound my lasso slashingm
This is the sound of my six guns a-blazing
This is the SOUND… my bullwhip makes… when it slashes, oh Lord
This is the sound of my pickaxe mashing
This is the sound of my mouth a-smoking
This is the sound of my throat a-choking
But please just don’t you think… that I’m tokin’… no, no, no
This is the sound of my lungs a croakin’
This is the sound of my spurs go jingle-jangle [JINGLE]
This is the sound is the sound of the law of the jungle
This is the sound of the tigers burning bright, in the night
This is the sound of my dark country ramble
This is the sound of my left hand strumming
This is the sound of my right hand fretting
This is the sound of… my guitar… when I play it… oh Lord
This is the sound of my guitar humming
