As White As She Was Pale Lyrics

I saw her coming from afar
at first faint light of day
The lady riding on a horse
as white as she was pale

She bade me take her by the hand
and ride with her away
Her promise whispered at my birth
the one that never fails

She’ll take me down a winding road
she’ll take me through the gates
And when at last the crossroads come
I’ll see which path she’ll take

Lead (GMH)

Now I must bid farewell my friends
we shall never meet again
So raise your glass and sing old songs
make sure that you live well

Cause in the end a day will come
when you too have lost your way
You’ll meet the lady on her horse
as white as she is pale

To those who rush to meet your gods
Know that you may fail
Close your eyes, pray she rides fast
There are Black Hounds on your trail

Black Hounds…
Black Hounds on your trail!
Black Hounds…
Black Hounds on your trail!
