The Night I Bore The Maiden's Child Lyrics - Autumn

it was to be the strangest night i'd ever know 

it was the night i'd bear the maiden's child 

and break the spell 

and break the line 

it would have kept me from my truth until the end of time 

and then the maiden spoke to me 

kissed my eyes, she let me breathe 

and when her veils fell to the sea 

she picked me up and carried me 

to a place where lovers bleed 

the blood of love, so tender sweet 

now looking back to where i'd lain 

i knew then i'd never rise again 

she broke the spell and broke the line 

that could have kept me from the truth until the end of time 

though i've played among the fallen leaves 

taken in the splendor of the seas 

and mother moon still muses me 

in her, i've found 

my eternity
