When I was a child
I went to the woods all alone
I took a walk out in the cold
I met a lady weary and old
She was trembling in my sight
She said you will never be alright
But there is hope she said
Yes, there's hope at the end of a rope
Don't worry about your course
Go forth without remorse
So do not think about your past
Or what your future shadow might cast
Silence will come in the darkness
Where there ain't no sun
Just let me be
This time it's only death and me
My love is left behind
It's tearing up my mind
The old lady is now my friend
Holding me by my hand
Her eyes deceive me, evermore
To share the fate, like many before
She is handing me my peace
Along the rope hanging from the tree
Silence will come in the darkness
Where there ain't no sun
Just let me be
This time it's only death and me
Dusk draws nearer
The long night awaits
When the snow cover my grave
And the wear of time erase my name
Make sure you take good care
There is no one else to blame
As I ride in my agony
And the haze turns blue
Then I'll have no regrets
About leaving you
