[Verse 1

Where have you been

Wanderin' son

Oh where have you roamed?

I've been to the dark woodlands

Mother's heart

To bring back a home

Into the shadows

Among the wailin' trees

Met a fate so cold

Bringin' me to my knees

[Verse 2

What did you find

Lonely soul

What secrets did you see?

A banquet of sorrow

Laid out for only me

A feast of despair

Poison on my plate

Grew dizzy and astray

Couldn't escape my fate

[Chorus

Oh

Wanderer

Oh

Wanderer

What have they done to you?

Lured by whispers

Took the path askew

Oh

Wanderer

Oh

Wanderer

Your eyes so dim and pale

Lost in the shadows

Behind the mourning veil

[Verse 3

Who was the host

Wanderin' lad

Who called you inside?

A lady in black

With a vengeful stride

Her words were honey

Sweet yet so untrue

Led me to darkness

Where the cold winds blew

[Bridge

The hounds did cry

The crows did caw

In the silent night

I heard them all

Be wary

Oh son

Of the whispered song

For the path of shadows

Hath stayed too long

[Verse 4

What will you do

Weary heart

With shadows closing in?
