lyrics

Fill up again your pumpkins with alcohol
And hand up the largest of them to me
Solemn I will light the giant candle for you
now in the night in the blackest night

We are playing hide and seek
We're playing hide and seek
across a thousand seas a thousand seas
we gods we gods when skies are red at dawn
and in the night in the blackest night

You cannot see us
No you cannot see us
But you are ourselves
Therefore we laugh so gaily when the skies are red
at dawn, at midday and in the blackest night

Fill up again your pumpkins with alcohol
And hand up the largest of them to me
Solemn I will light the giant candle for you
now in the night now in the night
and in the blackest night
