In Forest Deep Lyrics

In Flandern's realm in ages past

Lillefort reigned a kingdom vast

Pyrion ruled with Matabruna his queen

Their son Oriant a tale unseen

In forests deep Oriant did roam

Chasing a deer his thoughts alone

By a fountain's side weary he sat

Encountering Beatrix changing his fate

Beatrix fair and noble in mien

Captured Oriant with beauty serene

They wed in Lillefort joyous and bright

Yet Matabruna's anger cast a blight

In forests deep Oriant did roam

Chasing a deer his thoughts alone

By a fountain's side weary he sat

Encountering Beatrix changing his fate

Cast away in the woods they cried

But a hermit's care in God's grace they bide

Raised in love by a goat's kind feed

In innocence and virtue they would heed

Meanwhile Oriant to war did ride

Leaving Beatrix with babe inside

Matabruna's scheme a horror untold

To accuse Beatrix her hands bloodied and cold

In forests deep Oriant did roam

Chasing a deer his thoughts alone

By a fountain's side weary he sat

Encountering Beatrix changing his fate

With courage and might the truth revealed

Beatrix's innocence the lies repealed

Helias victorious justice restored

In tales of valor his name adored
