Broad were the Rhine and river flood
Where the bridge once stood and once run with blood
There came a man whose name was Life
And he took the Earth to be his wife
ย
He cried for a son of fiery rage
He searched the heavens, he searched the sea
Till a son was born whose name was Death
And he charmed the sun which brought him west
ย
Now the sun and moon soon grew quite pale
The wind could not blow, the ship no sail
And Time grew tired of waiting long
He hummed a tune and a mournful song
ย
And Death, he loved the glass and steel
He loved the sure things that he could feel
He loved the bright shine of beaten gold
But the breath of Life he couldn't hold
ย
