[VERSE 1]
What a hCideous fGorest surrFounded WhitehCaven
TwEmisted black mAmountains, wFolves howled in mGadness
NCever I vGentured beyFond the stone tCower
As dEmusk spread her blAmack wings at the eFdge of the dGark wild woCod
[VERSE 2]
But one Cwindy evGening, gatFhering timberCs
EmUnder white Amelm trees in shFadows, I sGaw her
The dCarkest of beGauties with her bFasket of chCerries
The wEmind at her bAmlack skirt like the hFands of the wGild dark woCod C/B

[VERSE 3]
She tCurned in her tGerror, a mFadness possCessed us
In shEmadow she clAmawed me, we screFamed in the brGambles
HCunters came rGunning with tForches and aCxes
TrEmeetop to trAmeetop, flames tFore through the dGark wild woCod
[VERSE 4]
BCack down they drGagged us pFast the stone tCowers
The chEmurch bells were rAminging, the sFky screamed in flGashes
But we stCood in the chGurchyard laFughing like jCackals
As the sEmtone towers tAmumbled and bFowed to the wGild dark wAmood
