    Ilse (Oker)

    The Ilse is a river that rises at about 900 metres (3,000 ft) above sea level on the northern slopes of the Brocken. During its first few kilometres it flows as a narrow brook, almost invisible to the observer, down the side of the Brocken. Known here as the Verdeckte Ilse ("hidden Ilse") it gurgles its way under blocks of granite that hide the stream bed from above.

    The Ilse then rushes through the narrow Ilse valley, hemmed in to the east by the rugged, cross-topped Ilsestein, passes by Ilsenburg into the Harz Foreland, flows through Veckenstedt, Wasserleben, Osterwieck and Hornburg and discharges into the Oker near Börßum together with the Schiffgraben from the Großes Bruch. Its total length is around 40 kilometres (25 mi).

    Local folklore personifies the river as the beautiful Princess Ilse, who has her home in the rocks of the Ilsestein. The Ilse is mentioned in literary works such as the Harzreise ("Harz Journey") by Heinrich Heine.

    Behind The Scenes

    by: Ilse

    The night falls
    On the city walls
    They're closing in
    I'm tired of being on my own
    Hotel to hotel
    It's like I'm on the run
    Tonight I come home to your arms
    Let go of my cover
    I turn myself in
    Can't wait any longer
    I let you in
    Let go of my cover
    I turn myself in
    Can't hold it any longer
    I let you behind the scenes
    While the world sleeps
    And you and me are wide awake
    Give me something I can feel
    Something real
    All I see is you babe
    Eyes closed
    Feelings exposed
    I live for your touch
    You hold my heart
    Your lips to my ear
    I hear you breathe, You say:
    You belong with me,
    Close to me
    Let go of my cover
    I turn myself in
    Can't wait any longer
    I let you in
    Let go of my cover
    I turn myself in
    I can't hold it any longer
    I let you behind the scenes
    While the world sleeps
    And you and me are wide awake
    You give me something I can feel
    Something real
    All I see is you babe
    People are people
    Don't know what they say
    They hide in a closed mind
    They're drifting away
    People are people
    Don't know what to choose
    I put you in my spotlight
    All I see is you
    I let you behind the scenes
    While the world sleeps
    And you and me are wide awake
    Give me something
    I wanna feel
    All I see is you babe
