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
