Rex Nemorensis

When the boughs of the oak
Start seething in the wind
When the Moon rules the night
I reach for my sword

In the shrine of the Huntress
I hold my reign by iron and blood
Where Meleager skewered the boar
I'll keep my vigil 'till dawn

In Aricia's forest I rule as king
Until another doth covet my crown

I am the lord of the forest deep
Diana's hound, the one who never sleeps
I am the king of the sylvan shrine
So come and try to take my life

The lamp on the altar
Has burned for eons
And death in the night
Is what the Goddess desires

The Nymphs of the lake
Know me by name
For the thrill of the hunt
I am honing my blade
In Aricia's forest I rule as king
Until another doth covet my crown

I am the lord of the forest deep
Diana's hound, the one who never sleeps
I am the king of the sylvan shrine
So come and try to take my life
