Baobhan Sith (Waltz Of The Damned)

The nightfall is pregnant with the terror
We hunters do vow to return before the dreaded bogles arise
We tread o'er fields o' wilted white heather
Sweet lassies do beckon us with fire in hypnotic eyes

Blood soaked garments sink towards the river bed
The Moon now weeping, paints the sky a deep burning red

Dancing and prancing their way to the grave
Death takes a fool by the hand
Creatures concealed by their beauty and grace
Leading the waltz of the damned

Lit by the stars
Strange and beguiling
Beware of the sisters in green
Upon cloven hoof
Roaming the Highlands
An evil unseen in
The Baobhan Sith

The night crawls while ales and tales are flowing
Disciples of the great forest rejoice in the warm heart of a song
And with the last dying embers gently glowing
I suddenly stop and recoil at the glimpse of a claw

A piercing skreich heard as they slit their bastard throats
Time slows as one by one they die, a feast for the crows

Dancing and prancing their way to the grave
Death takes a fool by the hand
Creatures concealed by their beauty and grace
Leading the waltz of the damned

Lit by the stars
Strange and beguiling
Beware of the sisters in green
Upon cloven hoof
Roaming the Highlands
An evil unseen in
The Baobhan Sith

God laughs up in heaven as they pick the flesh from bone
The spirits whisper from beyond the crumbling sacred stones
Nothing to do but hold my breath as I look on
As I yearn for the mercy of the humble kiss of dawn

O Satan
My blood runs cold
O Satan
Spare me, oh spare me my soul

Will I live? Will I die?
Let me live!

A walk through the carnage of the morning after
The storm has passed
Luck smiled upon me kindly
Freedom at last
I stood and faced the monsters
Frozen by fear
Into the woods I wander
They've disappeared

If you dance with the devil
If you play with the beast
You best expect to taste the flame
Though the dust may have settled
I am haunted in dream
My life will never be the same
