forlorn - nachtgeblüt lyrics
silently and unnoticed the autumn crept in
while the hushed harp lay mouldering in the dust;
crumbling were the sere and faded laurel leaves;
the day was past and yet eyes never saw the sun
the h–ry bard remained unheeded and neglected;
he sung of chivalry, but old manners were long gone;
in an age when heroic memories were all forgotten
a minstrel with noone to share his elegies and odes
withered harmonies kept visiting the old lute in vain
for beauty was hidden to the herds that forsook the gods;
merchants lured the sheep with new jesters’ roundelays
and under that flippant dissonance soon his voice was lost
dead leaves whisper now to him of departed days
a dirge -ssaults his ears like a death knell in every wave
the forest breeze adopts to his soul a mournful strain
all nature sings for him the melody of hopeless fate
he wanders through the uncertainty of the night
muttering his stale lays to the freezing stars above;
but hearts dismay when all our future winding paths
lead to the same broken and barren world we know
unable to follow the shallow ways of modern times
the minstrel slowly carries to the grave his unstrung lore;
forgotten by the kings, by the uncouth crowds despised
in a twilight without dawn he sinks despondent and forlorn
