They tried to take the mystery away

"...The trees still watch and sing..."

They tried to take the mystery away

They tried to take the mystery away but failed
Juno still bonds new islands to the floor of the sea
And Loki still watches every fire
The trees still watch and sing.

The name of the branch of your hand
Like the name of the floor of the sky
Is a band in bright relief
400 megahertz
Broadcasting light over the waves of the sea

Enceiderich
Jetzt
For my or your
For the roast tonight
Just one to start the summer
