Silver Maiden

[Verse 1]
Why do you wander, weary knight
Beside the frozen stream?
The grass is dead, the woods are gray
And fading like a dream

[Verse 2]
Why do you look so pale and cold
Beneath the winter sky?
The autumn leaves have turned to dust
And summer days gone by

[Chorus]
I met a maiden in the woods
A creature born of grace
Her hair was spun of silver thread
And wild her lonely face

[Verse 3]
I wove a crown of forest flowers
To bind her flowing hair
She held my hand and softly sighed
A whisper in the air

[Verse 4]
I placed her on my iron steed
We rode into the night
And nothing else my eyes could see
But her enchanting light

[Chorus]
I met a maiden in the woods
A creature born of grace
Her hair was spun of silver thread
And wild her lonely face

[Bridge]
She brought me to her hidden cave
Where shadows gently weep
She closed her dark and magical eyes
And sang my soul to sleep

And there I saw a phantom dream
Upon the mountain stone
The coldest dream I ever knew
Left bleeding and alone

[Verse 5]
I saw the ghosts of fallen kings
And shadows of the brave
They cried, "The lady has no heart!
You walk into your grave!"

[Outro]
And that is why I linger here
Beside the frozen stream
Though all the birds have flown away
And faded like a dream
Like a dream
