The path is full of stones
The river comforts me no more
He beckons to a stranger shore
Cold wind blow cold wind blow
Shall I walk the woods so wild
Wandering lost here and there
Into the arms of shadows
A heavy load a heavy load
Take my life
Take my hand
Take my life
Take my hand
Take my life
Take my hand
Take my life
Take my hand
Death creeps through the meadows
Drenched in mud and gold
An offer made binding ever more
Thud of drums lead me through the dusk
I blindly go I gladly go
A bridal trail of blackened silk
My veil a bank of thorns
Weave this garland with a dying rose
This ring of mine
Round my throat holds close
Oh troubled road I know not where I go
Lead me troubled road I know not where I go
Take my life
Take my hand
Take my life
Take my hand
Take my life
Take my hand
Take my life
Take my hand
