Come my little children don't you cry.
I have come because it's time to die.
Your sweet little lives I now must take.
Destroy your fear, it's making you shake.
You must forgive me, I've been so rude
to come in here like this and intrude.
I have not yet introduced myself
I am known as a king and an elf.
- I Am Erlkönig
Come away with me so you can meet
My daughters so delicate and sweet
I promise you it will not hurt much
Please don't hide away from my cold touch.
Think of all the things that you will do.
That life's a burden is oh so true.
Your clumsy body is restricting.
So come with me now the great Elf King.
- I Am Erlkönig
I have come to take your life away.
If you like, I'll give you time to pray.
Then we must journey with all due speed
on my beautiful jet black steed.
To where you will eternally stay
with my daughters you will dance and play
but if you don't come I will of course
just have to resort to using force.
- I Am Erlkönig
