A moonlit though misty night I woke from uneasy slumber The forest nearby, as always it cries With a voice like roaring thunder The path I walked, obstructed by roots and stones Lead into the woods, so I walked in The cold and humid wind crawled into my bones Forward, forward to reach the goal so deep within While I was stumbling through grove and bramble My eyes caught an oddly appearing view Its presence was obscure and evil Curiosity moved my body forward so I could see... And so we danced The dance of death and I glanced At my future, the end Has finally come Through the scrub I fought my way Its thorns cut my skin wide open But the inner desire forced me to hurry Until I finally reached my goal then Its shimmering true shape, so beautiful yet crooked Forsooth, I was trapped under its spell Why I didn't run before its claws took me? I could not tell And so we danced The dance of death and I glanced At my future, the end Has finally come Stripped of all fear My life reappeared Before my eyes and only now I realize There was no one there, except for me and my knife
