Intro

Acoustic guitar plucking, warm and delicate

Verse 1

She ran through the thorns where the shadows grow deep

Into the Forbidden Wood where the old spirits sleep

The branches they reached out to pull her away

In the dark of the forest, she lost the bright day

But a prince of the elves, with a heart like a shield

Found her there broken on that silent field

Chorus

He lifted her up in the shadow and cold

And wrapped her in velvet of forest and gold

A love born of rescue, of heartbeat and grace

He crowned her his queen in that mystical place

And the forest accepted her, quiet and deep

A promise the ancient boughs forever will keep

Verse 2
