Alphaville - Elegy Lyrics






He is sitting on a hill
a vapid night is crawling through the vale
the trees are fangs of transiency
the demons forge hammers and nails

he will travel all the ways
that lead to the unknown lands
time has distorted his view
an amen in his due

he is gazing at the skies
without yearning in his eyes
and he will follow the invisible trace
when the sirens sing again...

the spring is in the air, the silence in the skies
the wind is in his hair, the moon is in his eyes
the bats play on but he'll be gone
before the world has left the night

...the birds sing on but he has gone
before the morning spreads its light

    He is sitting on a hill

    time has distorted his view
    an amen in his due

    he is gazing at the skies
    without yearning in his eyes
    and he will follow the invisible trace

    So Beautiful!

  36. P.... Q....

    Just when I think I have heard everything beautiful he could sing, I find another song by Marian Gold (Hartwig Shierbaum).

    P.... Q....

    I told all of my Facebook friends to listen to it. So many did!

    P.... Q....

    His singing voice is amazig.

    P.... Q....

    There is no better. I am amazed how they put artists less than half their ages to shame when performing live. It is shockingly good. The Webcam recordings on youtube don't do justice. This has always been a favorite of mine. I believe this was first called legend. Something like that. Sounded totally different. I freaked when I heard this version the first time.

    P.... Q....

    Alphaville es una mina Picas y siempre encuentras oro.Cuando crees que ya no vas a encontrar más,te topas con otro lingoteBravo Marian por toda tu musica

    P.... Q....

    Marian Gold has a wonderfull Voice

  54. B.... B....

    hidden jewel.....

    B.... B....

    Alhpha Ville is a hidden treasure only for a few ones, the whole world is missing them, it´´s a pity.

  55. A.... V....

    !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  56. M.... M....

    Não conhecia essa música, como disseram: "uma obra-prima" a mais pura emoção!

  57. K.... S....

    wonderful

  58. x.... ....

    absolutely right! they are very much underrated band.. I only discovered them a few years ago and just can't stop listening to them, i like all their stuff new and old.. summer in berlin is my favourite and big in japan of course.

    x.... ....

    xenbay I'm also obsessed with their music ♡♡♡ I discovered Alphaville two years ago and can't stop loving this band ^^ This song is so magical :)

  59. R.... W....

    This is beautiful music. It's amazing that a synth rock group could compose this music and many other serene music! I first heard Forever Young on a rock station and had never heard of it. I went to Border's and a young girl said, oh, Neal Young? and I heard his version, which was terrible. "Then I heard Alphaville's version. Since I listened to it, I have been hooked. I have spent all night listening to all their songs down the side of the computer.

  60. R.... R....

    @tomialpha Yes,you're right!!!....I knew Alphaville only in octuber 2010 through youtube:D
    I love the voice and the music of Marian!!!;))

  61. A.... E....

    I started really listening to this song just recently, and it's so good that I'm learning the chords to it!

    Sorry, fellas; I don't have the stuff to upload that. :(

  62. J.... ....

    so great!!

  63. G.... ....

    Utterly majestic. This particular 'serenade' version (from around '89, and released on the ltd edition Dreamscapes box set) surely is the definitive version.

  64. T.... J....

    They have a lot of splendid song on their new album, but no radio stations and tv channels play them?
    How could they get any popularity in that way?
    Only the Internet offers a way to make known this band in the eyes of the world.

  65. f.... c....

    vaaaaaaaah.than you ALPHAVILLE.fecu.

  66. R.... R....

    Isso é tudo que eu queria ouvir hoje....tão linda!!!....tão suave!!!
    Eu estou emocionada!!!

  67. a.... ....

    Marian .. you are in my blood.. you are in my vains, you are in my soul ..
    since ever..
    for ever ...
    I love you !

  68. a.... ....

    Love Love Love...
    I love this song...
    I Love them from every single part of my soul..
    Alphaville forever and ever...

  69. d.... ....

    definitely a hidden gem, since i think there aren't many people who know this song.. and not to mention (especially) the band...

  70. T.... J....

    Maybe the most beautiful song from Alphaville.
    They're geniuses.

    T.... J....

    Alphaville's ghostwriter wrote the screenplay for Star Wars before his first birthday. The music was included...

  71. A.... G....

    I love this song and the other song does anybody know how i can get these songs on lime wire

  72. D.... ....

    Masterpiece.

  73. b.... l....

    La melodia es hermosa, cuando empieza la voz arruina todo...Im sorry, No se que tiene que ver un genio de las letras como Oscar con esto

    b.... l....

    Perdona pero creo todos concordamos que la musica, las letras y sobre todo la voz son maravillosos, que pena que no lo puedas apreciar.

    b.... l....

    Quien es Oscar por cierto??

    b.... l....

    que idiota eres! es una de las mejores voces del mundo a mi gusto la mejor marian tiene una voz de angel si no la aprecias no sabes de musica

  74. C.... C....

    I FULLY agree! We Alphies need to stick together and promote, promote, PROMOTE!!!

    C.... C....

    Christina Carvalho Yes 😍😍😍💪💪💪 We can do it !

  75. T.... J....

    Sometimes I feel this "hidden masterpieces" are often far better than their greatest hits like Forever young or Big in Japan.I can't me explain why the rest of their material isn't appreciated at all.They should rule in today's shit music.

  76. C.... C....

    I truly feel that Alphaville should take the chance and release this masterpiece. They have some really beautiful hidden "masterpeices" here and there as you listen to their collections. I would be interested in the response it received. (I think it would do well --it would "shock" people and I feel they would buy it!). Come on AV---do it, Do IT, DO IT!!!!

  77. T.... J....

    Incomparable masterpiece of all times.I can't cease loving this group!
