Letra de The Erl King

FATHER
There can be no dark force in this world
That could take the soul of a child
No spectre so grim would dare to be heard
No beast could be so wild
So rest my child and save yourself
For the journey we must undertake
I've done all I can but I need to get help
And soon your fever will break
SON
Father, dear Father the Erl king is near
I can see the fire in his eyes
I can hear his voice whispering in my ears
Like a million children's cries
FATHER
My Son, My Son you have nothing to fear
And the stars are the only light you see
The wind in the trees is the only voice you hear
And the crying you hear is me
SON
Father, dear Father surely you can see
That beckoning figure standing there
His bony hands are reaching out for me
And he's running his fingers through my hair
FATHER
My Son, My Son your illness will not last
And help is just over this rise
Those hands are just branches
Brushing us as we pass
So please can you open your eyes!
