Loreley

Lively music hums in the background. The beating of drums and the joyful tune of the flute lingers in the air. The beats lively and full of life, circling around the bonfire full of men, happily drinking and loudly boasting.

🎶Merrily we sailed along

Though the waves were plenty strong

Down the twisting river Rhine

Following a song...🎶

"Aiya! Believe this old man!" An old man loudly said, raising his hand that holds a bottle of liquor. "This I say! Out in the open surrounded by water I sailed, deep into the ocean I heard splashing of waters and alluring voices!" He declared, voice raising.

The other men around him chuckled, chugging a mouthful of liquor. "Old man I told you, you're drunk! You are speaking nonsense!"

A roars of laughter is heard then a sound of clinking of bottles followed.

🎶Legend's faded storyline

Tried to warn us all

Oh, they called her Loreley

Careful or you'll fall...

Oh, the stories we were told

Quite a vision to behold

Mysteries of the seas in her eyes of gold...

Laying on the silver stone, such a lonely sight

Barnacles become a throne, my poor Loreley...🎶

"Don't believe me then but I say Loreley is true! There is a Loreley in the waters of Nast!"

"You mean the legend of Loreley is true? That the people of Nast is not just making fables?" A man chimed in.

"Ai!" The old man nodded, tipping his head and drinking a mouthful of drink before continuing.

"It's true!"

🎶And the winds would cry, and many men would die

And all the waves would bow down to the Loreley...

And the winds would cry, and many men would die

And all the waves would bow down to the Loreley...

You would not believe your eyes, how a voice could hypnotize

Promises are only lies from Loreley

In a shade of mossy green, seashell in her hand

She was born the river queen, ne'er to grace the land...

And the winds would cry, and many men would die

And all the waves would bow down to the Loreley...

And the winds would cry, and many men would die

And all the waves would bow down to the Loreley...🎶
