Lyrics
Once upon a time
In the midnight hour by moonlight
Through the forest where the owls cried
A youth was making his way
Looking for an overnight stay
Every rustle made him feel fear
All the nightmares in that place seemed so real
The poor boy's frozen in the wind
How to warm up? Where to stay and eat?
Through the fog and darkness what a joy!
A shack window beckoned our boy
A girl opened wide a creaking door
It was hard to take his eyes off her
She fed him gave a cozy bed
To take a rest and to forget
As the morning came she led him home
And then quietly left the boy alone
The legends of the past days
By locals can be told:
Behind the beauty and grace
The evil spirit craves your soul
She attracts all men and no one
Can resist her magic charms
Another death will happen
In her gentle and dreadful arms
Years passed and he became a man
Leaving all his carefree days behind
But instead of seeking for a love
Stayed alone with a troubled mind
He recalled how many years ago
Saw her face lit up with magic glow
Desires prevailed over him
Like a fire burning within
The legends of the past days
By locals can be told:
Behind the beauty and grace
The evil spirit craves your soul
She attracts all men and no one
Can resist her magic charms
Another death will happen
In her gentle and dreadful arms
If you meet the shack of
The forest mistress on your way
Don't knock on the window
Run off it may be your last day
The sword will not help you
Against the darkness deep
For the demon that you face here
Is never fought with steel
In the silver moonlight she stood
Waiting for the young man in the wood
Time has not left a mark on her face
She's the constant in this fleeting space
He took one step towards
She seemed to him so nice
The only thing he didn't notice
Was the evil in her eyes
The legends of the past days
By locals can be told:
Behind the beauty and grace
The evil spirit craves your soul
She attracts all men and no one
Can resist her magic charms
Another death will happen
In her gentle and dreadful arms
In a place where shadows linger and whispers softly roam
Bound by your sins you won't ever find the way home
The weight of your mistakes is like chains upon your soul
And the echoes of your vicious dreams is a burden forever to hold
The legends of the past days
By locals can be told:
Behind the beauty and grace
The evil spirit craves your soul
She attracts all men and no one
Can resist her magic charms
Another death will happen
In her gentle and dreadful arms
