A man by a lake
By the light of the moon
A cry in the night
Of impending doom
He felt his blood curdle
And his hair stand on end
When he heard the wail of the sidhe

The man by the lake
Knew his time was up
Knew he'd been sipping
From the devil's cup
He knew the meaning
And it scared him to death
When he heard the wail of the sidhe

His bloodstained clothes
Will be washed in the water
Pity he will never see
His loving wife and daughter again
But when the sidhe calls
You've no time left at all

Chorus
A cry to chill the heart
Knowing that the end is nigh
Time to say goodbye
To your life
A cry to chill the heart
Knowing that the end is nigh
Time to say goodbye
To your life
