Death in the Maiden's Arms Lyrics

her touch, like a summer's day
warms the heart like the sun's first ray
her skin, like a winter's snow
is perfect, unbroken, her beauty shows
her gaze, like a new spring dawn
is as fresh and bright as the early morn
her hair, like the autumn leaves
is soft in hand like a gentle breeze

as she lays her lips upon his brow
he forgets his blood that stains the ground
for in her arms, wrapped in her embrace
he's happy to meet his end of days
she'll banish the cold and light the dark
as to unknown shores he doth embark
for in her hands he feels no pain
and on the wind he hears her name

the maid of the land and sea

no shield could ever protect his heart
from the maiden's smile - no sword is as sharp
for helm and mail may save his skin
from blade and spear but not from within

he's been cut by arrow and cleaved by steel
though wounds to flesh are those that can heal
as one look in her eyes can forever entrance
those who dare join the maiden's dance

for all the beauty will never compare
to the wondrous face of the maid so fair
so hark the wind it calls her name
only she can stop this pain

for the maid as beautiful as land, sky and sea
he will whisper to the wind "dw i'n dy garu dee"
for one kiss of those lips is all that he seeks
he will ride into hell - he will fight - he will bleed

for the maid as beautiful as land, sky and sea
he will whisper to the wind "dw i'n dy garu dee"
for one kiss of those lips is all that he seeks
he will ride into hell - he will fight - he will bleed

with a face from the heavens she strikes from afar
she dulls the sun and outshines the stars
the goddess' beauty you cannot surpass
in the echoes of time it forever stands fast

for all the women will never compare
to the beautiful face of the maid so fair
so hark the wind it calls her name
only she can stop this pain

for the maid as beautiful as land, sky and sea
he will whisper to the wind "dw i'n dy garu dee"
for one kiss of those lips is all that he seeks
he will ride into hell - he will fight - he will bleed

for the maid as beautiful as land, sky and sea
he will whisper to the wind "dw i'n dy garu dee"
for one kiss of those lips is all that he seeks
he will ride into hell - he will fight - he will bleed

for all the beauty will never compare
to the wondrous face of the maid so fair
so hark the wind it calls her name
only she can stop this pain

for all the women will never compare
to the beautiful face of the maid so fair
so hark the wind it calls her name
only she can stop this pain

for the maid as beautiful as land, sky and sea
he will whisper to the wind "dw i'n dy garu dee"
for one kiss of those lips is all that he seeks
he will ride into hell - he will fight - he will bleed

for the maid as beautiful as land, sky and sea
he will whisper to the wind "dw i'n dy garu dee"
for one kiss of those lips is all that he seeks
he will ride into hell - he will fight - he will bleed
