(het Verdronken Land Van) Saeftinge Lyrics - Ancient Rites

Here one can hear the call of the sea 

While a deadwhite moonlight 

Is creating the ultimate unlight 

Or at night, or at night... 

O sad and beautiful night 

Full of melancholy 

When the silent dark waters 

Are inviting the lonely souls 

Of mounting lost ones... like me 

Of mounting lost ones... like me 

Here once I could hear the bell toll 

Here once I led a life 

My home was build... before the cruel 

Water came 

May be the death fish washed on the shore 

With their cold eyes have catched a 

Glimp - a glimp.. 

Of my forever lost village 

Do I hear my ancestors call: 

Oh beautiful and cruel lost, 

Forever lost - dark medieval times 

Drowned land of saeftinge - 

Drowned land of saeftinge 

Here once I could hear the bell toll, 

Here once I 

Had a life, my home was build... 

Here one can hear the call of the sea 

Oh my drowned land 

Mijn verdronken land van saeftinge... 

Saeftinge - saeftinge - saeftinge 

Forever lost, forever lost...
