The Wild Reeds winter moon

Select language to translate this lyric

The winter moon shone down upon the sea
I saw you underneath the gloom
The wind swept you backwards
While the world was pulling you
Onward the sea pressed
The ship was tossed and swirled
I could see through the fog and clouds
A light bright over the hills
And we cried, and we cried, and we cried
That we'd be saved
And we cried, and we cried, and we cried
That we'd be spared
Turned around and sailed onward
Different ways than those before
You were consumed in your own words
You were lost and torn in two
Cold and chilled, I sat and wept
My stomach dropped with deep regret
Then the waves pulled us under
So we tried to kick and swim
And we cried, and we cried, and we cried
That we'd be saved
And we cried, and we cried, and we cried
That we'd be spared
Death will not take us
Death will not take us
Death will not take us
Death will not take us
Death will not take us
Oh, death will not take us
Death will not take us
Death will not take us
Death will not take us
Death will not take us
Death will not take us
