Lyrics
Gretel, I think we've lost the way
Oh, God, don't say that
We've lost the way
I will look after you, my dear
I am a boy, I know no fear
Oh, Hansel, I'm not too good to survive
Have courage
Come, don't be alarmed
But what do those shimmering coins of light?
The silver batch in their robes of white
What's that that glints in the depths of the swamp?
Nah, that, that's just the moon on the willow stump
There is a face so mean and sly
And so infected, even I
You mind your own business, do you hear?
You spy
Those lights coming nearer
The animals eye
Fire butterflies are ringing in the air
Gretel, don't let it frighten you
Look, it's clear what we have to do
Go there
Is someone there?
Did you hear that?
They answered in the air
Hansel, someone else understood
I'm frightened, it scares me
Please make me good
My spirits been drained and get lost for good
Don't say that
Come here and hold me tight
I'll keep you safe all through the night
Now ghostly drums of mist are sneering
Look how they swirl around us, jeering
Don't touch me, don't touch me
Just leave me be
Ah, ah, ah
There, who's that there?
Hansel, why is he in the water?
