Stone Cold Heart by BeSinger
published on
This song was inspired by "The Cold Heart" (German: Das kalte Herz), a fairy tale written by Wilhelm Hauff. It was published in 1827 in a collection of fairy tales that take place within the narrative of The Spessart Inn.
Although written almost 200 years ago, the described conflicts of mankind are still up-to-date, maybe even more than before. Preferring status und prosperity over humanity is something which has become socially accepted.
Special thanks for prelistening and precious ideas to my dear friend Gary Reeves!
Lyrics
Peter was in the charcoal business
never in peace with the live he was living
made a deal with the forest spirit
Three wishes and a new life given
Descending to the darkest corners of humanity
what was it you were thinking of when you lost your pity
Inside your stone cold heart
You‘ve built a world of disregard
It did not play out like you were whishing for
glassworks went down and you needed much more
sold your heart to Dutch Mike to keep living
a heart of stone and the fortune you were given
Descending to the darkest corners of humanity
what was it you were thinking of when you lost your pity
Inside your stone cold heart
You‘ve built a world of disregard
Flourishing business kept you going
but your smile was eternally frozen
when your drivers faded and you had murdered love
nothing left there but an empty heart
Descending to the darkest corners of humanity
what was it you were thinking of when you lost your pity
Inside your stone cold heart
You‘ve built a world of disregard

This song is fantastic Andreas! The production and instrumenatation is perfect. Banjo is great as well as vocals. Brings to mind the great Peter Gabriel but you have your own unique sound. Well done!
