[Verse] In the forest deep she calls to me Eyes like shadows dark and free Songs of sorrow in the midnight air Tempting whispers soft as prayer [Verse 2] Her gaze is a net that ensnares my mind Promises sweet but danger you'll find A heart of longing tangled tight Lost in the forest on this moonless night [Chorus] Oh the Alder's whisper pulls me near Her beauty sharp like a dagger of fear But I press on through the haunted glen Seeking the light in the darkened den [Verse 3] The leaves rustle secrets only I can hear Footsteps echo though the path’s unclear Every twist hides another snare Yet onward I go with a hardened stare [Verse 4] Her laughter rings like a bell of doom Yet I move forward through the gloom She may tempt but she won’t consume Her sweet despair I must entomb [Bridge] Fear and longing wrapped around But my heart resists her haunting sound In the shadows where phantoms creep I keep my soul from falling deep
