| For know that my life resides not in me but far far away |
| For I am body without soul |
| My soul I have hidden only to be found by he who shall possess me |
| Bring it to me, do not leave me alone in the forest |
| Find the last link in the magic chain by which my life is darkly bound |
| Bring me the casket, the serpent, the soul of the Swan |
| Woman and all that can never never be … |
| In the ocean there is an island |
| On the island grows an oak |
| Beneath the oak lies a casket |
| In the casket are seven birds |
| Seven birds sing away sweetly |
| Not for long |
| Cut off their pretty heads and I am yours |
| I pray you, will you come for me? |
| I pray you, won’t you set me free? |
| In the forest there is a lake |
| In the lake lives a serpent |
| Inside the serpent there is a swan |
| And in the swan there is an egg |
| In the egg my heart lies |
| Now slowly squeeze |
| And as you break the shell the spell is broken |
| I pray you, will you come for me? |
| I pray you, won’t you set me free? |
