Lysander I pursue I pursue in vain
Cruel Lysander thus to fly me.
Let this begin
She must not, she must not obtain him
Never never never never must obtain
Frigid beauty
Who are you that you would deny me?
Deny me deny me
Bring bring my trusty arms

Her beauty must success less prove
For this heart is stronger charms
Feeble feeble arms and hurtles dart
She will not in war prevail
Alas what hopes to wound a heart
She will not live to tell the tale
Nothing!

As I walked on my own
As I look for my dear home
I felt the sun leaving me
White choruses wait for me

'Where shall we our breakfast take?'
Said the first raven
Down in yonder green field
There lies a knight slain under his shield

Down comes his fellow doe
As great with young as she might go
She lift up his bloody head and kissed his wounds that were so red
She got him up on her back
And carried him to earth and lake
She buried him before the prime she was dead herself before night time

Do you still see me?

Frozen beauty lies blind in ice
No eyes to see
I've always been and always I shall be

[Instrumental]

In darkness let me dwell
The ground the ground shall sorrow be
The roof of despair which bears all cheerful light from me
To bar all cheerful light
The walls marble black which moistened still shall weep from me

The roof of despair which bears all cheerful light from me
To bar all cheerful light

My queen my queen I only wish my song to please thee
I wish to be the minstrel in your gallery
My music jarring jarring sounds to banish sleep thus bedded to my woes
And bedded bedded to my tomb
Oh let me living die
Till death to come

The frightened earth looks pale and cries
It cries as war does consume the skies
My armies already join the battle above
The god of war fights the god of love

Stand firm my battalions stand firm
The tyrants shall yield

Hold the line!

They fly they fly my archers fly

Consume consume the whole world
Since she is burning.
