Carach Angren - Haunting Echoes From the Seventeenth Century lyrics

Hear this legend: a saga of despair from an old southern town called Sjilvend The elder peasants warned us, we should fear a hidden unmarked tomb in those marshy woods not far from here This is the saga of the white ghost haunting Lammendam There a sick reflection keeps resurrecting only when the sun is gone Once there stood a castle in a wood It seemed a rather old, wealthy looking farmstead There lived a girl with the beauty of a pearl Especially when she wore a white dress and wandered through fields of hard-working churls Everyone knew there were two young fellows who gave up everything for the love of their dreams They did not care Poor or rich.. She stole their hearts like a goddamn witch This region once was called De Leiffartshof One was the German son of Högenbusch, the other one came from a domain called Heeringhof And they both weren't aware of their mistress in white who could not decide Echoes.. from the seventeenth century! Echoes.. from the seventeenth century! Echoes.. from the seventeenth century! During day he came with his horse and carriage then whistled.. Then she knew he was there.. A secret affair! Therefore you'll be crowned as a who*e Lammendam! Lammendam! The sun is drowning in the landscapes of the earth The time to seduce her second admirer There lies a note by the old knotted oak, carrying a stone and romantic poetry telling her when where to go One day he's riding his black horse through southern paradise By coincidence he caught his doll cheating with another lad s*ut! Why? ..and they hated pa**ionately ever after
