[Intro] [Wind through the trees] [Distant female keening] Hush now... Listen... There is a voice upon the hill. [Verse 1] She comes when the moon is thinning Through the mist and the heather rain Silver hair in the midnight wind Calling out a forgotten name She does not knock upon the doorway She does not ask to be let in She walks where the living wander And sings where the dead have been [Pre-Chorus] Do you hear her? Far beyond the flame A voice carried through the darkness Calling someone's name [Chorus] Oh, Banshee, sing Sing into the night Your sorrow moves across the hills Like a river made of light Oh, Banshee, cry Let the old world hear Your voice is not the sound of death But the warning drawing near [Verse 2] They say her song is mourning They say her cry brings fear But I have heard beneath the sorrow Something ancient drawing near She sings for all we've buried For every love we've lost For every soul that crossed the river And every heart that bears the cost [Pre-Chorus] Do you hear her? Calling through the rain Not every voice that comes from darkness Comes to bring you pain [Chorus] Oh, Banshee, sing Sing into the night Your sorrow moves across the hills Like a river made of light Oh, Banshee, cry Let the old world hear Your voice is not the sound of death But the warning drawing near [Bridge] [Music strips back] Do not fear me... I have come to tell you... What you love Can disappear What you lose Can still remain Nothing living Lives forever Nothing loved Is ever gone [Celtic vocal lament] Aoibhinn... Éist liom... Éist liom... [Final Chorus] [Huge cinematic lift] Oh, Banshee, sing Let your sorrow rise Carry every broken heart Beneath the ancient skies Oh, Banshee, cry Let the mountains hear For those who listen to the dark The truth is always near [Outro] The mist is moving... The hill is still... But somewhere beyond the heather... She is singing. Ooooooh... Listen... Listen... [Distant female keening] [Silence]
