We ride all alone from the battlefield |
|
The rebels beaten they had to yield |
|
Banquo and |
|
I we silently ride |
| [2] |
Brothers in arms side by side |
|
There s a fog which falls on the weary soul |
|
It engulfs our souls as we head for home |
|
The lands we pass we ve never seen |
| [3] |
Clad in a twilight like a dream |
|
Out of the shade three women rise |
|
Appear in features that please the eye |
|
How can such grace walk the earth |
| [4] |
Can it be of human birth |
|
Their eyes glowing with unearthly light |
|
Shining like diamonds in the falling night |
|
They hail our names as we greet |
|
Their voices sound like music sweet [Bridge:] |

We bid them stay as they did turn |
|
More about our fate to learn |
|
Too sweet did their visions sound |
| [6] |
To ambitious men for glory bound |
|
They turned to |
|
Banquo and hailed his name |
|
Revealing to him the greatest fame |
|
My brother listened pleased and well |
|
To the promises they had to tell [Ref.:] |
|
