The Elder Lyrics

The Elder lyrics


In the arms of rimed soil, lies the autumns last withered leaf
Land now
bare and naed, awaits it's snowy sheet

And as the light still lingers,
painting scarlet this barren scene
An old man sings his song of melancholy
and relinquish

I'm a whirl deep in dark waters,
A stare in the shades
of fir-trees
I'm riding above with north wind,
Herding the black clouds of
rain
Mine is the kingdom, 
Far from the moon to the sun
I am the
elder,
Standing forever as one

And in that sudden moment, when
everything's turned to still,
He abruptly breaks the silence, becomes one
with longing

And singing ever stronger, nature joins as one with
him
Fire in his eyes, universe under twisted grin
