[Verse 1]
Cm Cm
Bathed in the rust of moon
Cm Ab Bb
Is the death beds lullaby
Cm Cm
Sung so softly with the stars
Cm Ab Bb
Reflected in her eyes
[Chorus]
Gm F
It's the blaze that beckons men
Bb Gm
Into the woods of beaten path
Gm F
Is the sight of the fire that
Bb Gm Gm
No maiden's eyes should have...
Gm F
Iron does as iron's told
Bb Gm
And drinks of life's red gold
Gm F
But shame won't leave with dying breathe
Bb Gm Gm
The life that wants it's own... death
[Interlude]
Cm Cm Cm Ab Bb
Cm Cm Cm Ab Bb
[Verse 2]
Cm Cm
And the forest hums its silent hymn
Cm Ab Bb
Heard by those of solitude
Cm Cm
As mist it wells, up the brook's dark banks
Cm Ab Bb
Bewitched by these fir woods
[Chorus]
Gm F
It's the blaze that beckons men
Bb Gm
Into the woods of beaten path
Gm F
Is the sight of the fire that
Bb Gm Gm
No maiden's eyes should have...
Gm F
Iron does as iron's told
Bb Gm
And drinks of life's red gold
Gm F
But shame won't leave with dying breathe
Bb Gm Gm
The life that wants it's own... death

It's the blaze that beckons men

Into the woods, of beaten path

Is the sight of the fire that

No maiden's eyes should have...

And drinks of life's red gold
