When Madeleine appeared it always rained
The people locked their houses
Drew the curtains, prayed and painted crosses on their doors
They wondered who would be the next
For last respects . . . began rehearsing
Dressed in black with white carnations
Weeping 'til their eyes were sore
And Madeleine would feel their sorrow, she only wanted friends
But the lady's doomed to wander until the very end--'til the end of time!

It's just the price she had to pay
For life eternal and she's sorry
And she's lonely--would love to make amends
But where Madeleine appears it always rains
The people lock their houses
Draw the curtains, pray it won't be them--
Wandering 'til the end of time!

We gather in a strict formation, hold hands in a circle
And at twilight we all walk around the stones
And spirits dance, and bodies roll, hallucinations curtsy
As the river priestess consecrates the bones
And that's the way it will be
'til the end of time . .
