Orchid Songtext
von Danse Macabre

Down by the well
There I shall meet thee
An orchid in your hair
The well near the olive tree
And our sole place to meet
Alas! Only brief
Our patriarchs disagree
Our young hearts in grief

Down by the well
I shall meet thee
An orchid in your hair
The place near the olive tree


Heavenly you appear
Beautiful Helen of Troy
Unworthy of love my dear
Admired by many a boy
Our love like fire
A glimpse of unity
Our fate harsh and dire
In the shadow of the olive tree

Down by the well
I shall meet thee
An orchid in your hair
The place near the olive tree

Buried centuries ago both you and me
Our love it never ever was set free

By the well, my beloved orchid
There I still meet thee
There I still meet thee
Our sole place to meet
Alas! Only brief
Our patriarchs disagree
Our young hearts in grief


Down by the well
I shall meet thee
An orchid in your hair
The place near the olive tree
Down by the well
I shall meet thee
An orchid in your hair
The place near the olive tree
