lyrics
By the light of the stars
And the whisper of moons
The breath of the wind
Humming a tune
To which fleeting feet dance
Through roots and through boughs
Of a forest well lived
Begging beasts not to rouse
"Sleep now I beg" I breathe
Keep your tooth and your claw
And stray far from me
"Hush now I plead" I breathe
Hide fast your fierce maw
And stray far from me
Make haste my love
Says your voice in my ear
King of telling me things
That I don't want to hear
I could run until morning
Through all of my fear
And I still wouldn't dream
Of leaving you here
Surely they'd kill you
Surely they would
Sink their teeth in your heart
And savour your blood
I cant let that happen
No I can't let that be
Stay close to me love
Stay close to me
Is that a star?
Or a sign of the end?
Or the glimmering eyes
Of a beast condemned?
Thunder feet faster
The ground we're to rend
Not us, not today
To hell will they send.
