it always rained,
the people locked their houses,
drew the curtains,
prayed and painted crosses on their doors.
They wondered who would be the next
for last respects . . .
began rehearsing.
Dressed in black with white carnations,
weeping 'til their eyes were sore.
Madeleine would feel their sorrow,
she only wanted friends,
but the lady's doomed to wander
til the very end
'til the end of time!
It's the price she had to pay
for life eternal
and she's sorry,
and she's lonely
love to make amends.
When Madeleine appears
it always rains,
the people lock their houses,
draw the curtains,
pray it won't be them
wandering
'til the end of time!
We gather in a strict formation,
hold hands in a circle
and at twilight we all we all walk around the stones.
Spirits dance,
and bodies roll,
hallucinations curtsey
as the river priestess consecrates the bones.
And that's the way it will be
'til the end of time . . .
