Dearg Doom/She Moved Through The Fair

My love is colder than black marble by the sea. 
My heart is older than the cold oak tree. 
I am the flash of silver in the sun. 
When you see me coming you had better run run run from Dearg Doom. 

You speak in whispers of the devils I have slain 
By the fire of my silver Devil’s Blade, 
And still you dare to flaunt yourself at me. 
I don't want you, I don't need you, 
I don't love you, can't you see  I'm Dearg Doom. 

And when the stars go out you can hear me shout 
Two heads are better than none one hundred heads are so much better than one 
I'm a boy who was born blind to pain 
And, like a hawk, I'll swoop and swoop again. 
I am the flash of hawkeye in the sun. 
When you see me coming you had run run run from Dearg Doom

She Moved Through The Fair

My love said to me My Mother won't mind
And My Father won't slight you for your lack of kind
Then she stepped away from me and this she did say
It will not be long love until our wedding day.

She stepped away from me and she moved through the Fair
And fondly I watched her move here and move there
And she went her way homeward with one star awake
As the swans in the evening move over the lake

The people were saying no two e'er were wed
But one has a sorrow that never was said
And she smiled as she passed me with her goods and her gear
And that was the last that I saw of my dear.

I dreamed it last night that my true love came in
So softly she entered her feet made no din
She came close beside me and this she did say
It will not be long love until our wedding day.
