On a dreary night He met a woman down by the water side Drawn by her weeping song Even the wind was humming along And all the trees were moving To the sound she was producing He watched her sing Feeling her song might be meant for him She weeps, oh she weeps It's death that she foresees The cry of a banshee, cry of a banshee ♪ On a dreary night He met a woman all dressed in misty white He walked towards her and he asked "My fair lady, why so sad?" Suddenly her melancholic melody Felt no longer serene And turned into a piercing scream She weeps, oh she weeps It's death that she foresees The cry of a banshee, cry of a banshee She weeps, oh she weeps It's death that she foresees The cry of a banshee, cry of a banshee ♪ She already knew She already knew She already knew What he came here to do She already knew She already knew She already knew What he came here to do For she is the omen of death The harbinger of doom She weeps, oh she weeps It's death that she foresees The cry of a banshee, cry of a banshee ♪ She weeps, oh she weeps It's death that she foresees The cry of a banshee, cry of a banshee
