by Robert Schumann (1810 - 1856) and by Emil Flechsig (1808 - 1878)
Doch seine Ströme sind jetzt rot
Language: German (Deutsch)
Chor Doch seine Ströme sind jetzt rot Von Menschenblut, Es wütet fürchterlich der Tod; Er schreitet durch die blumigen Wiesen Verheerend mit den ehernen Füßen. O Land der Sonne, wessen Schritt Geht über deinen Boden, Wirft deine Pfeiler um, zertritt Die Göttersäulen und Pagoden? Er ist's, er ist's von Gazna, Er naht in seinem grimmen Zorn! Chor der Eroberer Gazna lebe, der mächtige Fürst! Chor der Inder Es sterbe der Tyrann!
