z Lyrics only Thee Wilde Hunt
Thee Wilde Hunt by Mr. S. L. Gomper
All rights retained by the composers and songwriters.
Tonight we will paint our faces white
White as a spectre, a vapor, a fright
We’ll scream on high as we ride through the night
On wilde horses, the cold north wind
(chorus)
Tonight we ride! lightning hand! thunderclap!
Strikes a bolt of fire! wild eyed wanderer
Comes the hunter, witches & goblins at play
Dance enchanted!
Tonight we’ll paint our faces green
Green as an arbour, the farther we’ve seen
Seen through the leaves of the forest a tree of time
Tonight we’ll paint our faces in vine
Tonight we’ll paint our faces red
Red as the blood in the bones of the dead
Red fade to brown, fade to black, fade to grey
Grey as the memories of death’s decay
