Dark Legend
Dark Legend
She screamed out in the darkness
In her anger and her pain
As lightning split the heavens
She ran into the rain
To stumble through the forest
Eyes no longer sane
Rushing through the storm
Refusing to accept the blame
Weeping in desperation
A heart filled with shame
But, in the storm she was lost
Mind burning in anger's flame
No-one knows just how she died
Beneath those storm-dark skies
She was found the next morning
In an unmarked grave she lies
It's said the forest still echoes
With the sound of her cries
Legend says if anger takes you
Beneath the storm-dark skies
You will see her in the forest
You'll hear her final cries
And when the lightning flashes
You'll see her ghost arise
She screamed out in the darkness
In her anger and her pain
As lightning split the heavens
She ran into the rain
To stumble through the forest
Eyes no longer sane
Rushing through the storm
Refusing to accept the blame
Weeping in desperation
A heart filled with shame
But, in the storm she was lost
Mind burning in anger's flame
No-one knows just how she died
Beneath those storm-dark skies
She was found the next morning
In an unmarked grave she lies
It's said the forest still echoes
With the sound of her cries
Legend says if anger takes you
Beneath the storm-dark skies
You will see her in the forest
You'll hear her final cries
And when the lightning flashes
You'll see her ghost arise
