the Maids of Elfen-mere 
watch over the boy with chestnut hair 
and as he dreams about his love for them 
they make a vow to protect him 
spinning their song 
sung by a happy corpse 
foreseeing a pretty girl drawing 
her arrow 
but what they want to know 
will she bring him 
 [bad word] love 
or sorrow 
the Maids of Elfen-mere 
don't know that the boy with chestnut hair 
winds back the clock at the 11th bell 
hoping to follow them 
through the veil 
spinning their song 
sung by a happy corpse 
foreseeing a pretty girl drawing 
her arrow 
but what they want to know 
will the Queen of Eastland or the Wastelands be waking 
the Maids of Elfen-mere
