About

This song was included in the March 2010 Scorpions album Sting in the Tail. It references a Lorelei: a water spirit similar to a siren, which lures sailors to their deaths. It is approximately 4 minutes and 30 seconds long. The singer describes how a woman, the titular Lorelei, has ‘led him astray.’

Lorelei Lyrics

[Verse 1]
There was a time when we sailed on together
Once had a dream that we shared on the way
There was a place where we used to seek shelter
I never knew the pain of the price I would pay
You led me on with a cloak and a dagger
And I didn't know you had made other plans
You had me believe we were meant for forever
I really thought my heart would be safe in your hands

[Chorus]
Lorelei
My ship has passed you by
And though you promised me to show the way
You led me astray
You were my Lorelei
What kind of fool was I
Because I believed in every word you said
And now I wonder why
Lorelei

[Verse 2]
There was a time when we held one another
Baring our souls in the light of the flame
Those were the days now I've lost my illusions
Sometimes I wake in the night and I call out your name

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
Now there's a light that shines on the river
Blinding my eyes from so far away
Shot through the heart but now I know better
As hard as it is to resist the song that you play
Lorelei
