A little whistle
Baton shakes
At the same time the violins do
At the same time basses dance
It didn't work
It'll never work
They took the little deer
And stabbed her to death
Twelve times, twelve and here
Twelve ways from her head to her heart
Twelve holes, till she teared
Where deers used to cry
The death of one of them
A dark forest like the sky
A little dear who didn't run
Where deers used to cry
The death of one of them
A dark forest like the sky
A little dear who didn't run
Pig ear, human look
Like its soul was treated
They didn't cry, they didn't fly
Blood tears from her eyes
Now the red carpet
Was the deer
Don't try to step, is it clear?
Little dear tried to shout
She didn't want to be hurt
She wanted to play with her shadow
And someday her shadow caught her
Where deers used to cry
The death of one of them
A dark forest like the sky
A little dear who didn't run
Where deers used to cry
The death of one of them
A dark forest like the sky
A little dear who didn't run
