Der Liedtext erzählt von der Baobhan Sith, einer tödlich verführerischen Gestalt aus der keltischen Folklore. Sie erscheint nachts, lockt Männer mit Tanz, Schönheit und sanfter Stimme und raubt ihnen dabei lautlos das Leben. Der Song verbindet Romantik und Horror zu einer Warnung: Wer sich von äußrer Schönheit und süßer Musik verführen lässt, verliert sich selbst. Zurück bleiben nur Stille, Blut und eine Legende, die am Feuer weitergesungen wird. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The lyrics tell the story of the Baobhan Sith, a deadly seductress from Celtic folklore. Appearing at night, she lures men with dance, beauty, and a gentle voice, draining their lives without struggle or sound. The song blends romance and horror into a warning: those who trust sweet songs and fair appearances are lost. What remains is silence, blood, and a legend passed on by firelight. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Verse 1 In the hush of the glen where the white mists lie, Old stones remember, the stars pass by. Green silk whispers through heather and briar, Her steps are light, but her eyes burn fire. Verse 2 She comes with a smile the night won’t refuse, With a harp-soft voice the lost men choose. “Dance with me,” she breathes, low and slow, And the world falls still where the dark winds blow. Chorus Oh Baobhan Sith, take my hand, Spin me far from the mortal land. Moon above and blood below, Once you dance, you never go. Verse 3 Cold is her touch though the night feels warm, Her shadow twists like a gathering storm. Iron may save you, dawn may tell, But few return who know her spell. Verse 4 She drinks the life where the fiddle cries, From lonely hearts and trusting eyes. No scream, no fight, no final plea, Just empty ground where a man should be. Chorus Oh Baobhan Sith, take my hand, Spin me far from the mortal land. Moon above and blood below, Once you dance, you never go. Verse 5 Some call her fairy, some call her curse, A warning sung in an older verse. Born of forest, wrong and old, She walks where ancient gods still hold. Verse 6 When the cock cries out and the sky turns grey, She fades like breath at break of day. Only red dew on the standing stone Marks where she danced, and who is gone. Bridge Turn away when you hear her call, Love and ruin rise and fall. Trust not beauty, nor gentle tone, The sweetest song has teeth of bone. Chorus Oh Baobhan Sith, take my hand, Spin me far from the mortal land. Moon above and blood below, Once you dance, you never go. Outro So heed this song by firelight dim, Keep iron close and faith within. For where green silk moves soft and sly, The Baobhan Sith is passing by.
