Drei Prinzessinnen
Three Princesses
Modern Times CD
Bethge
Three princesses in the land of Sym
stood on the white edge of the sea,
looking out for a speeding ship
that would carry them far off
to the shores where freedom dwells.
Three princesses in the land of Sym
raised their hands to the gods,
imploring them to fulfil
their desires, but no gods
were listening to their urgent, troubled pleas.
Three princesses in the land of Sym
lamented day and night,
but no-one heard their plaint.
Their beauty faded like flowers,
Their voices were quenched like a light.
Three princesses in the land of Sym
are squatting, old and grey, at the edge of the sea,
their lips form witless words,
their hands play with the sand
And they sprinkle it in their hair, believing
It to be the flowers of summer.
