Throne In The Sky Lyrics - Metalium

[Theme:Loreley / Germany] 

At the old Rhine ages ago, 

Up the rock above the hill 

Loreley sat and sang with grace 

So thousands of ships where killed 

Can't you see her golden eyes 

This magic spell takes you to hell 

And drops you out of sight 

Sailors tried to find 

(the) throne in the sky 

Hear their doomed souls cry 

(to the) throne in the sky 

Don't take the choice 

So her graceful voice 

Will ever be your guide, no 

Seven virgins enticed the lost 

Her desire, their command 

So the seas they needed to cross 

They would never see again 

can't you see her golden eyes 

this magic spell takes you to hell 

and drops you out of sight 

the sailors tried to find 

the throne in the sky 

hear their doomed souls cry 

throne in the sky 

[STORY:] 

A huge rock in Mid Germany (132 meters above sea) 

overlooks the old Rhine. It is said, that from the top 

of this rock a ghost-like image of Loreley sang 

sailors to their doom as they heard her 

fascinating, sad voice when they passed 

the bend of the river, crashing their ships 

onto the rocks and sank to ground. 

The tale speaks that she once was a mortal girl, 

but she threw herself from the top of the rock 

into the Rhine because her lover proved her unfaithful.
