o lohengrin o lorelei
"I, Lohengrin, son of Parsifal, the world-renowned king, was sent hither
by the Holy Grain, to save your duchess from the oppressor's hand. Now the
Holy Vessel summons me, and I must go, but ere I depart, I enjoin upon you
to watch faithfully over my little ones and to wipe away their mother's
tears. Farewell!"
"I, Lorelei, am not a witch, but let me die. I'm so unhappy. My lover has
forsaken me, and his silence has lasted so long that I am sure he is
either faithless or dead."
i love listening to you sing lorelei i wish you godspeed lohengrin

how useless it is to be a knight!
how silly!
