[Verse

Johnny's voice was raw as coal

In the valley

Where tales roll

Sister’s secret

Dark as night

Underneath the moon's cold light

[Verse 2

Burn the shadows

Hear the cries

Through the ages

Truth decries

Rivers whisper

Trees will speak

Of the vows and hearts they wreak

[Chorus

Oh

The cruel sister's tale

Through the winds and down the dale

Echoes heavy

Whisper soft

In the hearts she has aloft

[Verse 3

By the well where dreams have died

Silent tears the stones have cried

Lover's heart a broken shell

Cursed within the village spell

[Bridge

Flowers bloom

But hearts decay

Nightmares follow through the day

Silent shadows on the wall

From the heights

They watch her fall

[Verse 4

Old man sits by the fire

Speaking truths the youth inquire

Bones are cold

But stories burn

In the night

The past will churn
