Maiden's Tears

I know of a place in a far away land

With a river of teardrops with banks of white sand

I know of a maiden in dark only shown

Who sits by the river and cries all alone

Her face is a as pale as the sand and the moon

Her cries are as chilling as the calls of a loon

Her hair is so fair, lengths of silver bond strands

By the river she sits, in the water she stands

Her eyes are of amber, so secret, so bright

Get lost in them forever, look only at night

In a simple green dress she cries and she waits

Counting the hours, still waiting on fate

This river she cried in this far away land

Someone did die on those banks of white sand

A strange unknown by the depths of mankind

A drop of strange blood was all we could find

This simple dark place so empty and broken

This maiden’s sweet cries is all that is spoken

Face all contorted as tears start to pour

Why is she there, we don’t know what for

You look in her eyes and feel like you’re blind

They simply say ‘come’ they won’t be denied

It’s a trap you will see as she draws you in

This maiden has lived a full life of sin

In her simple green dress she calls out to you

Escaping your fate you really can’t do

You’re a stranger, you see, in the depths of mankind

All that is left is all that we’ll find

A warning to all who might venture this way

To those who will seek out this land far away

Avoid the tear river all times but mid day

You cannot just visit, to come is to stay
