LÚTZEN! THE MUSICAL - 5. WITHOUT YOU (MARY ELEANOR)

 Today is the eve of battle and this Rammstein filk I imagine being sung by Mary Eleanor, her mind still on that prophetic dream, after Gustavus Adolphus has left...

WITHOUT YOU

I'd like to go into the wood

where you last were ere you were gone for good

Yet the evening throws its purple cloak

upon the paths on th'edge of pine and oak

And the forest is so dark, it's o'er

oh i'm so sore

and no songbird sings evermore

**^^^^^^

Without you I can't exist, without you

with you I know what I missed, without you

without you I count the hours, without you

with you I feel like no powers within me, without you

*************

On the branches in the trenches

all is still, all is lifeless

and my breathing is so hard and sore

oh i'm so sore

and no songbird sings evermore

**^^^^^^

Without you I can't exist, without you

with you I know what I missed, without you

without you I count the hours, without you

with you I feel like no powers within me, without you

WALLENSTEIN SONG

What if Albrecht von Wallenstein had started a band?
