lyrics

I am the herald of the winter
Guiding the autumn from the summer sun
For I am the maid
They thought was stole away
But they forget I had a choice

For I am the bringer of springtime
My mother, the goddess of the earth
But o’er the fields I tread
Amid the silence of the dead
I live in the one place I have a voice

No mistake could be unmade
A curse is only evil if you fear it
So many fear the touch of death
Fear the one who walks beside him

Every woman has her secrets
Some are gem and some are stone
Though I’m remembered in the autumn
They only talk about my fall
Fruit pulled from trees as I was pulled below

You see, I outgrew the expectations
Of a world that only sees a fragile flower
Though I cannot forsake my name
I will light the harvest flame
Sometimes the darkest love is sweetest of them all

No mistake could be unmade
A curse is only evil if you fear it
So many fear the touch of death
Fear the one who walks beside him

With all growth there is pain
Harbinger of ice and flame
(And the mercy of the spring)
I sleep among the living
I walk among the dead
I live for revels of the seeds of red!

The dead bring the flowers of the mourning
I plant them in my love’s dark meadows
There they grow while I am gone
Though not as bright as first begun
For this place, Apollo’s touch will never know

Queen of Death’s domain, I am consort
Halfway between the darkness and the green
This maiden stands as Crone
Life and death are all my own
A sweet and stained and fascinating rose

No mistake could be unmade
A curse is only evil if you fear it
So many fear the touch of death
Fear the one who walks beside him
Fear the one who walks beside him
Fear the one who walks beside him

Autumn knows my name
