Just like the shade that swallows the day Her mind starts to fade away
Just like the deep and the secrets it keeps All-seeing eyes asleep
Just like a deer that quivers with fear She bows to the ground to each sound
The fair singing bird enclosed from the world Locked in a cage unheard
In the wasteland we feared When the creature appeared The beauty it kept Even the strongest ones wept With wings on its back And dead souls in its sack It lay exposed in the fen When it was captured my man
Just like the flame in the showering rain Her strength starts to wane In pale
The dark’s rising up with each feather that drops We’ve dug our own hole, with her soul
In the wasteland we feared When the creature appeared The beauty it kept Even the strongest ones wept With wings on its back And dead souls in its sack It lay exposed in the fen When it was captured my man
