Wolf Song lyrics

Stumbling through the winter forest

Her feet frozen 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 wolf bane 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

(…Home…)
