Song language: English
Whitehaven |
| What a hideous forest |
| Surrounded Whitehaven |
| Twisted black mountains |
| Wolves howled in madness |
| Never I ventured beyond the stone tower |
| As dusk spread her black wings at the edge of the dark wild wood |
| But one windy evening |
| Gathering timbers |
| Under white elm trees |
| In shadows, I saw her |
| The darkest of beauties |
| With her basket of cherries |
| The wind at her black skirt like the hands of the wild dark wood |
| She turned in her terror |
| A madness possessed her |
| In shadow she clawed me |
| We screamed in the brambles |
| Hunters came running |
| With torches and axes |
| Treetop to treetop, flames tore through the dark wild wood |
| Back down they dragged us |
| Past the stone towers |
| The church bells were ringing |
| The sky screamed in flashes |
| But we stood in the church yard |
| Laughing like jackals |
| As the stone towers tumbled and bowed to the wild dark wood |
