Under The Boughs Lyrics - Singles - The Sword

Taken away from under the boughs 

Far from the sheltering glens 

Imprisoned by wizards to sing for a serpent 

In the guise of a man 

They come with teeth and tusks and talons 

They come with horns and hooves and claws 

A wailing cry is heard deep within the forest 

A bestial host heeds the king stag's call 

Watch them come from lands all around 

To hear the maiden in white 

Sing her songs of sorrow and love 

In the hall of the king tonight 

She was stolen from under the boughs 

Away from the sheltering glens 

Imprisoned by wizards to sing for a serpent 

In the guise of a man

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

In a wood untouched by axes 

Creatures dwell unseen by men 

Songs are sung by a virgin princess 

Heard but once and never again 

They come with teeth and tusks and talons 

They come with horns and hooves and claws 

A wailing cry is heard deep within the forest 

The bestial host heeds the king stag's call 

Watch them come from lands all around 

To hear the maiden in white 

Sings her songs of sorrow and love 

In the hall of the king tonight 

Soon the herald shall sound the alarm 

As the faery queen's armies draw near 

And the maiden shall cease her lament 

As the wicked men cry out in fear
