🌲 "The Bloodwood Widow" is a haunting dark folk ballad that tells the story of a malevolent spirit tied to the cursed Bloodwood Grove. Once a mourning widow, she swore an oath to protect the sacred forest after her husband’s death, but when the lord of the land murdered her, her soul became bound to the woods, exacting a silent vengeance on those who trespass.
The eerie atmosphere of this song, with its slow, melancholic melody played on the lute and bowed instruments, captures the sorrow and menace of the widow. The blood-red sap that oozes from the trees becomes a symbol of her curse, and her presence lures wanderers deep into the forest where they vanish without a trace. "The Bloodwood Widow" combines folklore, nature, and supernatural revenge to weave a chilling narrative perfect for fans of dark ballads and ghostly legends.

Lyrics:
Verse 1
In Bloodwood Grove where shadows sleep,
The widow roams, her sorrow deep.
With blood-red sap, the trees do weep,
For those who lie in death’s cold keep.
Chorus
Oh, beware the grove where the widow’s breath,
Is soft as wind, yet leads to death.
Her call is sweet, but her hands are cold,
In Bloodwood Grove, she takes her hold.
Verse 2
Beneath the oak where twisted roots lie,
The widow's soul can never die.
She waits for those who dare to tread,
Upon the land of the silent dead.
Chorus
Oh, beware the grove where the widow’s breath,
Is soft as wind, yet leads to death.
Her call is sweet, but her hands are cold,
In Bloodwood Grove, she takes her hold.
Bridge
The trees will sigh with whispers low,
And blood will stain the fallen snow.
Her pale white face, her hollow eyes,
Will freeze the heart beneath dark skies.
Verse 3
No candle burns, no prayer will save,
The soul who enters this shadowed grave.
For when you hear her mournful song,
The widow’s curse will drag you along.
Chorus
Oh, beware the grove where the widow’s breath,
Is soft as wind, yet leads to death.
Her call is sweet, but her hands are cold,
In Bloodwood Grove, she takes her hold.
Outro
So heed the warning, stay away,
Lest the widow lead you to decay.
In Bloodwood Grove, she lingers still,
To claim the lives of those who will.
