Within the fire and out upon the sea
Crazy Man Michael was walking
He met with a raven with eyes black as coals
And shortly they were talking
Your future, your future I would tell to you
Your future you often have asked me
Your true love will die by your own right hand
And crazy man Michael will cursed be
Michael he ranted and Michael he raged
And beat up the winds with his fists
He laughed and he cried, he shouted and he swore
For his mad mind had trapped him in a mist
You speak with an evil, you speak with a hate
You speak for the devil that haunts me
For is she not the fairest in all the broad land
Your sorcerer's words only taunt me
He took out his dagger of fire and of steel
And struck down the raven through the heart
The bird fluttered long and the sky it did spin
And the cold earth did wonder and startle
Oh where is the raven that I struck down dead
That here did lie on the ground
I see but my true love with a wound so red
Where her lover's heart it did pound
Crazy Man Michael he wanders abroad
And talks to the night and the day
But his eyes they are sane and his speech it is plain
And he longs to be far away
Michael he whistles the simplest of tunes
And asks the wild wolves for their pardon
For his true love is flown into all flowers grown
And he must be keeper of the garden
