Once upon a midnight, the moon, big, shone bright
Guided me in its light, to a place of unknown My carriage, old and croaking, stood still, cold and choking And I glanced, thought provoking at that Forest of Bloodstone Oh yes, that place was thought provoking, the Forest of Bloodstone. It was in the middle of winter and on every wooden splinter Grew icicles of the clearest kind ever known My breath, not deceiving, filled the air, white and pleasing And I stood deciding, to enter the Forest of Bloodstone Oh yes, I stood deciding about the Forest of Bloodstone Alas it was my twisted fate that I came knocking on its dreadful gate Of all the things I wish to take were not of things unknown The tales of that dreadful place, filled me with grimace And on my pallid silver face was the fear of Bloodstone Oh yes, drawn on my silver face was the fear of Bloodstone Caught my eye was a wooden picket amongst its bleak dark lonely thickets On it were nothing but cursing, chilling me to the bone No fool would ever dare to write, no angel would ever dare to fight The power it holds alight, the power of Bloodstone Oh yes, who would dare to criticize the power of Bloodstone “Oh you weary traveling man, turn your horse around if you can For you are cursed if you see, this Forest of Bloodstone Don’t touch a tree, no branch no bark, or she will stop your beating heart And you will be torn apart, your mind overthrown Oh yes, she is beguiling when your mind is overthrown.” “For the sake of Clementine, my trusted ol’friend of mine Your have been warned for the final time, don’t trust the things of unknown Don’t follow what your eyes can see, blind it from its fantasy And for once you must believe me, she will chill you to the bone Oh yes, I tried several times to destroy the power of Bloodstone" Stumbled upon unending thoughts, among my thinkings I was lost In this blistering, freezing, unending frost, what was I to do alone Distracting me with its silver wings, flew something glimmering Indeed an innocent beautiful thing, a butterfly on its own Oh yes, landed that beauty on my palms with such grace shown.
