the erlkings - der könig in thule, d.367 lyrics
there once was a king from the thule sh-r-
throught his life he was just, brave, and bold
but after the death of his paramour
she left to him a cup made of gold
this golden cup never left his side
he raised it high at every banquet feast
until at last he’d close his kingly eyes
and drift off to sleep
at last death came to claim the king
he wrote his will and gave his riches up
he gave away his lands and his diamond rings
all he kept was his beloved’s cup
he sat upon his ancient throne
his loyal subjects all came to see
the greatest ruler they had ever known
in their kingdom by the sea
the old man walked to the oceanside
he raised his cup to take one final sip
then threw it out into the tide
fast within the waters salty grip
he watched the sea claim its prize
and sink deep within
the king closed his weary eyes
never drank a drop again
