lyrics

The mild summer night
Sparkling stars, the sparkling firebrand
I take the cup from your hands
One deep gulp, the lights fade
I'm slipping out of my self
I see your face from high above
You are my mistress
Now it's time for the chase
My dear

The race over the fences
We follow the deer in the dark
Wolves howling, glowing eyes
The river runs white in the dark
You are deer, we are the hunters
Chasing through the woods in the dark
We lay down on the meadow
Loosing ourselves in the dark

The next thing I remember
I am covered with blood
The body at our feet still warm
You're sitting there down by the water
So quietly, perfectly white
Your hair is dyed red with his blood

In the ancient city
He did find out
And he asked all the questions
He read in the diary
While I lay in pain
He took all the money
Without any questions
He told the story
To the wrong people
So they found him lying
Covered with snow
No way, he's lunatic

The nerves in tatters
We're floating through the time
No regrets
The time is flying by
Bound together
With the knowledge of that day
I'll never forget
The secret history
