Der Alte hat's gerufen
Language: German (Deutsch)  after the German (Deutsch)
Chorus Der Alte hat's gerufen, der Himmel hat's gehört, Die Mauern liegen nieder, die Hallen sind zerstört; Noch Eine hohe Säule zeugt von verschwundner Pracht; Auch diese, schon geborsten, kann stürzen über Nacht. Und rings statt duft'ger Gärten ein ödes Heideland, Kein Baum verstreuet Schatten, kein Quell durchdringt den Sand, Des Königs Namen meldet kein Lied, kein Heldenbuch; Versunken und vergessen! Das ist des Sängers Fluch.
