Discover the story of the song > Totentanzlied – Sonne Hagal

This song talks about a person called Death who rides on a black horse and wears a mysterious cloak. When soldiers go to fight, Death rides next to them on his horse. He also likes to dance with girls when they do a special kind of dance. Death can also play the drums and when he does, it makes people feel scared and he hits the drums made of animal skin. When Death plays the first drumbeat, it kills someone, and when he plays the second drumbeat, they bury the soldier. Death can also play a third drumbeat that is soft and gentle, like a mother rocking her baby to sleep. Death can ride different kinds of horses and even dance while he smiles. He plays the drums and says "died, died, died" over and over again.
