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 I am?)
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
