Das Gelbe Gretchen: The Yellow Gretchen https://budgetpixel.com/blog/the-legend-of-das-gelbe-gretchen (Verse 1) In the deep Black Forest, where the mist settles low, Where the roots of the fir trees blanket the earth, A figure wanders through the misty woods— One whose heart no man can ever guard. She wears a cloak, so colorful and so heavy, A yellow like the poison that pierces the night. (Chorus) The Yellow Gretchen, the Queen of Shadows, She looks at you with eyes so cold and so sharp. If you touch her, your fire and ardor die— A curse of gold that condemns you so. A curse of gold that condemns you so. (Verse 2) A hunter fled, a soldier lost his nerve, A lover forgot the man he once was meant to be. He reached out his hand as she passed him by, But when he turned back, everything had blown away. The strength in his legs, the pride in his chest— Now he lies in the moss, silenced and utterly mute. (Chorus) The Yellow Gretchen, the Queen of Shadows, She looks at you with eyes so cold and so sharp. If you touch her, your fire and ardor die— A curse of gold that condemns you so. A curse of gold that condemns you so. (Bridge) Only her cackle remains when a man falls, A soft laughter echoing through the trees. She drains your strength when you stand too near, Leaving you behind with your body, but without your spirit. A spirit filled with weakness, forever defiled, In the yellow light—solely for her and the night. (Outro) The Yellow Gretchen... Will you return? Only in the Black Forest... Only in the yellow light... She is waiting for you... She is waiting...
