A disembodied soul, woman of the fairy mound Death is always near, when her wail does sound Death is at your door (2x) Clad in green and grey, with long streaming hair Her eyes a fiery red, all mortals she may scare Death is at your door (2x) chorus: Wail of the banshee (2x) Appearing near a river, a death she will presage Hear the terrible wail, a cry of piteous rage Death is at your door (2x) When many weep together, tragedy is at hand A veil of darkness falls, grief all over the land Death is at your door (2x) chorus chorus
