[Verse 1]
Cm                    Cm
Bathed in the rust of moon
Cm                Ab   Bb
Is the death beds lullaby
Cm             Cm
Sung so softly with the stars
   Cm            Ab Bb
Reflected in her eyes

[Chorus]
Gm                  F
It's the blaze that beckons men
  Bb              Gm
Into the woods of beaten path

Gm                  F
Is the sight of the fire that
   Bb            Gm          Gm
No maiden's eyes should have...

Gm           F
Iron does as iron's told
    Bb               Gm
And drinks of life's red gold

    Gm                     F
But shame won't leave with dying breathe
    Bb                   Gm  Gm  
The life that wants it's own... death

[Verse 2]
Cm                      Cm
And the forest hums its silent hymn
Cm                Ab  Bb
Heard by those of solitude
Cm                Cm
As mist it wells, up the brook's dark banks
  Cm                   Ab Bb
Bewitched by these fir woods

[Chorus]
Gm                  F
It's the blaze that beckons men
  Bb              Gm
Into the woods of beaten path

Is the sight of the fire that
   Bb            Gm          Gm
No maiden's eyes should have...

The life that wants it's own... death
