Wolf Song

Stumbling through the winter forest Her feet froze to the bone The darkness holds no solace So very, very far from home A crimson cloak behind her drags It's torn by thorns and snagged to rags Pity maiden for your folly To venture in these woods alone Mercy lives not in the holly No compassion from the stones Your fear brings tears like summer rain (Oh, mother, father where are you?) They beg for me to ease your pain (I'm cast adrift, what should I do?) My love, oh, I beseech thee Throw thy cloak aside to feed me Crimson rivers from your veins Crimson rivers feel no pain Your long red hair ensnares me Your warm red blood, it calls me My red right hand shall take thee home (Puella lupo inferno interfecta est) Thine eyes betray confusion Am I friend or am I fiend? Pardon me for this intrusion And I'll show you what I mean I've come to claim a heart from thee (My heart is broken, can't you see?) Your final kiss belongs to me (Your scarlet kiss will set me free) My love, oh, I beseech thee (wandering alone) Throw thy cloak aside to feed me (far away from home) Crimson rivers from your veins (forest of the damned) Crimson rivers feel no pain (drowning in the land) Your long red hair ensnares me (sinking like a stone) Your warm red blood it calls me (lost and so alone) My red right hand shall take thee home (I cannot find my way back home) (Puella lupo inferno interfecta est) Playing the obedient daughter Brought you where the wolfbane blooms Sacrificed in sacred slaughter 'Neath the pale light of the moon Your form lies wreathed in ruby red (The crystal snow my wedding bed) A scarlet halo 'round your head (The scarlet halo of the dead) My love, oh, I beseech thee (wandering alone) Let thy rivers flow to feed me (far away from home) Crimson rivers from your veins (forest of the damned) Crimson rivers feel no pain (drowning in the land) Your long red hair ensnares me (sinking like a stone) Your warm red blood, it calls me (lost and so alone) My red right hand shall take thee home (I cannot find my way back home) My love, oh, I beseech thee (wandering alone) Let thy rivers flow to feed me (far away from home) Crimson rivers from your veins (forest of the damned) Crimson rivers feel no pain (drowning in the land) Your long red hair ensnares me (sinking like a stone) Your warm red blood, it calls me (lost and so alone) My red right hand shall take thee home (thy red right hand shall take me) My red right hand shall take thee home (thy red right hand shall take me) My red right hand shall take thee home (thy red right hand shall take me) My red right hand has brought thee home
