Elvenpath

Lyrics

The sheltering shade of the forest  
Calling calming silence  
Accompanied only by the full moon  
The howling of the night wolf  
And the path under my bare feet,  
The Elvenpath  
  
Sung, female:  
Hearing music from the deepest forest  
Songs as a seduction of sirens  
The elf-folk is calling me  
  
Tapio, Bear-king, Ruler of the forest  
Mielikki, Bluecloak, Healer of the I'll and sad  
Open the gate and let me follow the uncarven path  
  
The way to the lands  
Where as a hero I stand  
The path where Beauty met the Beast  
Elvenpath  
It's the honesty of these worlds  
Ruled by magic and mighty swords  
That makes my soul long for the past  
Elvenpath  
  
The moonwitch took me to a ride on a broomstick  
Introduced me to her old friend home gnome  
Told me to keep the sauna warm for him  
  
At the grove I met the rest - the folk of my fantasies  
Bilbo, Sparhawk, goblins and pixies  
Snowman, Willow, trolls and the seven dwarves  
The path goes forever on  
  
The way to the lands  
Where as a hero I stand  
The path where Beauty met the Beast  
Elvenpath  
It's the honesty of these worlds  
Ruled by magic and mighty swords  
That makes my soul long for the past  
Elvenpath  
  
Spoken, male:  
Long ago,  
In the early years of the Second Age,  
Great elven smiths forged rings of power.  
  
Sung, female:  
As I return to my room  
And as sleep takes me by my hand  
Madrigals from the woods  
Carry me to neverland  
In this spellbound night  
The world's an elvish sight  
In this spellbound night  
The world's an elvish sight  
  
But then, the Dark Lord learned  
The craft of ring making and made the master ring.
