I followed the footsteps through the snow
they led me to you
I went to meet you my dear
In the alder brook as planned
I met instead the enemy
They encircled me
They drew their swords
As I lay in the snow covered in blood frost
I only think of you my dear
What could have been if we had met tonight?
My true love, I am forever yours
As I lay here beside my lover
A raven comes to me
With a message that I must flee to the mountains
All my hopes and dreams have faded away from me
In this dark night I cry out for you my love
As he lays in the snow
Covered in blood frost
He only thinks of me his love
What could have been if we had met tonight?
My true love, I am forever yours
Don't look back my love
The future is bright for you
Vengeance leads to death
We shall meet again my love
Flee the hinterlands
Flee to the mountains
A fortress awaits you
I entrust my life to you
I will flee to the mountain fortress
Where I will await eternity with you
