Persephone - Tamino

Yes my love, I confess to you

I am only here to break your heart in two

The very flower you chose that day

Its only task was to decay

You see?

When I watched your first bathing

I only warned you with a lowered voice

«Be wary of my river’s undertow

It flows with water from the coldest source»

Did you hear?

And then I made sure

You would always return

You still know of dawn

But you always return

When you hid under my black wings

They couldn’t have protected you from anything

Once in flight they would have let go

You would have once again wound up below

Only broken

Indeed, it’s wrong to keep you near me

One could call me cruel and deceiving

But in your sacred air I am full of light

Your loving arms are the true delight

To which I’m lost

And you’ve noticed it

There is something right here

You have come to love, yes you’ve come to love

What you always will fear

(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)

Yes, my love, I confess to you

I’ve nothing but the means to break your heart in two

My part in yours may seem important now

But with every spring it will seem so small

Just for now I am your fall

I am your fall

I am your fall
