I followed the footsteps through the snow they led me to you I went to meet you my dear In the alder brook as planned I met instead the enemy They encircled me They drew their swords As I lay in the snow covered in blood frost I only think of you my dear What could have been if we had met tonight? My true love, I am forever yours As I lay here beside my lover A raven comes to me With a message that I must flee to the mountains All my hopes and dreams have faded away from me In this dark night I cry out for you my love As he lays in the snow Covered in blood frost He only thinks of me his love What could have been if we had met tonight? My true love, I am forever yours Don't look back my love The future is bright for you Vengeance leads to death We shall meet again my love Flee the hinterlands Flee to the mountains A fortress awaits you I entrust my life to you I will flee to the mountain fortress Where I will await eternity with you
