Lady Mary, Saint of Crossroads, guide me, guard me, steer me true.
Let me reach my destination, safe within my trust for you.
Lady Mary, I've been faithful, Lady Mary, I am lost.
Guide my feet and guard my journey; I will pay the crossroads cost.
Lady Autumn, Saint of Harvests, keep me, claim me, grant me grace.
Give me leave to light the bonfires, here within this holy space.
Lady Autumn, I've been faithful, Lady Autumn, I am yours.
Lead me through the cloistered cornfields; show me to your sacred doors.
Saints of all the secret callings, saints of all that I desire,
Bear me up, for I am mortal; you are all that I admire.
Saints of all the hidden choices, guide me 'til the veil is torn,
For I have come to pledge myself unto the Saint of Thorns.
Lady Lily, Saint of Rivers, hold me, help me, heal my heart.
Let my mirror crack asunder, show me how the healing starts.
Lady Lily, I've been faithful, Lady Lily, I am cold.
Hold me fast, for night is calling; help me heal, and make me bold.
Lady Janet, Saint of Roses, teach me, turn me, tell me lies.
Give me leave to heed the sirens, trust my heart and not my eyes.
Lady Janet, I've been faithful; Lady Janet, I'm afraid.
Take me to the rose-ringed tower where our Lady was betrayed.
Saints of all the secret callings, saints of all that I desire,
Bear me up, for I am mortal; you are all that I admire.
Saints of all the hidden choices, guide me 'til the veil is torn,
For I have come to pledge myself unto the Saint of Thorns.
Lady Alice, Saint of Stories, call me, claim me, let me go.
Let me lose myself in riddles, teach me what I need to know.
Lady Alice, I've been faithful, Lady Alice, I am here.
Kiss me once before you leave me; let me pass beyond my fear.
Lady Beauty, Saint of Towers, Saint of Roses, Saint of Sleep,
I have come so far to find you, here where vines and shadows creep.
Lady Beauty, I've been faithful, Lady Beauty, I'm alone.
Prick my finger, make me peaceful; for your mercy you are known.
Saints of all the secret callings, saints of all that I desire,
Bear me up, for I am mortal; you are all that I admire.
Saints of all the hidden choices, guide me 'til the veil is torn,
For I have come to pledge myself unto the Saint of Thorns.
I have named the hidden ladies, here where rhyme and reason fails:
Lady Janet, Saint of Liars, Lady Alice, Saint of Tales.
Lady Mary, Saint of Bargains, Lady Autumn, Saint of Corn;
Lady Lily, Saint of Mirrors...Lady Beauty, Saint of Thorns.
