What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
Once she had drowned and started her slow descent
2
Down the streams to where the great rivers broaden
3
Oh, the open sky chant most magnificent
4
As if it was acting as her body's guardian
5
Wreck and duck weed slowly increased her weight
6
By clasping her in their slimy grip
7
Through her limbs, the cold blooded fishes played
8
Creatures and plant life kept on, thus obstructing her last trip
9
And the sky that same evening, grew dark as smoke
10
And its stars through the night, kept the brightness still soaring
11
But it quickly grew clear when dawn now broke
12
To see that she got one further morning
13
Once her pallid trunk had rotted beyond repair
14
It happened quite slowly that she gently slipped from God's thoughts
15
First with her face, then her hands, right at the last with her hair
16
Leaving those corpse-choked rivers just one more corpse
