Who is the graceful angel
that reflects in the surface
and dances on the waves of the silent forest waters
and cries with the falling rain
Who sings with the winds and tempests
and whispers with the cascades
but still gives a cool kiss
of inspeakable pain
What happened to this angel of beauty
Who turns her head as the false hopes arise
with the breeze whispering her forgotten name
with the voice of him
that with her lost heart lies
Guinevere, Guinevere
Why did she desire this other world
on the other side
She wished for her escape from longing
to find her peace - a place to hide
Did she know her loneliness
until she saw it in the mirror of the forest's eyes
as she chose her fate in grief
and dressed herself in Death's disguise
How could she have known that she would not
be blessed with nature's sacred peace at last
Bound to wander around the ruined pavilion of her abandoned life
because of the eternal spell
she in despair herself has cast
Guinevere, Guinevere
Forest Queen this was her fate
and as the cool forest water embraced her
She had decided, it was too late
Never again could she return
to the world that missed her so deeply
The forest is filled with her longing song
drowned in sorrow, sung so sweetly
Dance with the waves, sweet Guinevere
her chance is lost to go back to what she's been
Cry with the falling rain in her despair,
whisper and sing of choices she made
but she will remain eternally Forest Queen
