The Wild Hunt Lyrics
Lock the doors and bar the gates
Crack your shutters for a glance
But keep your talisman at hand
The Wild Hunt rides tonight
Whirling leaves around the cairn
The horn will sound, the Hunt begins
The Spectre's howl will freeze your heart
The Wild Hunt rides tonight
Chorus
See us ride on the whirling winds
Called back from death we've shed our skins
To hunt the souls of winter once again
Lightning cracks and ghost hounds bay
None shall bar the Huntsman's way
Give the dead their due or be their prey
Fair and terrible the host
That rides across the dusky moor
Heroes of a distant age
The Wild Hunt rides tonight
Peasant caught upon the road
Your life shall take a turn tonight
Will you perish, will you rule?
The Wild Hunt rides to night
Chorus
Honor to the Huntsman
Honor to the Host
Honor to the Mystery
That fills the sky with ghosts
Upon this wintry night
Lock the doors and bar the gates
Crack your shutters for a glance
But keep your talisman at hand
The Wild Hunt rides tonight
Crack your shutters for a glance
But keep your talisman at hand
The Wild Hunt rides tonight
Whirling leaves around the cairn
The horn will sound, the Hunt begins
The Spectre's howl will freeze your heart
The Wild Hunt rides tonight
See us ride on the whirling winds
Called back from death we've shed our skins
To hunt the souls of winter once again
Lightning cracks and ghost hounds bay
None shall bar the Huntsman's way
Give the dead their due or be their prey
That rides across the dusky moor
Heroes of a distant age
The Wild Hunt rides tonight
Peasant caught upon the road
Your life shall take a turn tonight
Will you perish, will you rule?
The Wild Hunt rides to night
Honor to the Host
Honor to the Mystery
That fills the sky with ghosts
Upon this wintry night
Crack your shutters for a glance
But keep your talisman at hand
The Wild Hunt rides tonight
