Elvenking - Oakenshield lyrics

Oh, pick up flutes and fiddles
A new tune is beginning a melody forsaken
On the chords of our elders' sing
Each note is telling a story
A fragment of existence
Oh, people ye who listen
Sit down and hear the old man's story

He was standing right in front of me
Few steps from where I've been
That day the manor's tower is
Hiding a sun in agony
Filthy and soiled from head to feet
His sword was rusty and ruined
But in his eyes I caught a
Fleeting glimpse of his pride

He said "Seven moons painted the skies
Before I reached for the chosen one
A travel through the starlit horizons
Through the magic's way
On the path that leads us to knowledge
A light fall of rites
And believes from past forgotten times

Outshining the malice in our thoughts!

A story that came from so
Many miles and years ago
The legend of the magic shield
The elf, the dwarf
The man who carries true faith deep within
Was known by everyone as Oakenshield
Oakenshield

I didn't understand the words he said
The silence fell on the scene
A watercolour painted with a
Thousand shades of feels
A wooden shield tied on his back
The magic wisdom seed
But in his eyes I caught a
Fleeting glimpse of his pride
"From the time when the ancients'
Glory rules us all the shield has been
Passed hand in hand to the few
Whose hearts are pure and bold
Made with the hardwood of Us'dum
Never decline his influence on character
Outstanding is the power of our will

A story that came from so
Many miles and years ago
The legend of the magic shield
The elf, the dwarf
The man who carries true faith deep within
Was known by everyone as Oaken

(Intermezzo:)
Shield, from the sources of our depths
In the universal edge declining
Shield, from the wounds in your malice grains

"Face up and take a contact
With your inner fears
You will find a well of
Gloominess and humble damp
Make yourself a trace on walk
The power of become
The enchantment is the magic of being"

Slowly fades the light, the story slips away
The old man's tired now: doze off!
"Sleep well, keeper of the shield!"
Mankind could never understand
The shield remains forever only as a:

A story that came from so
Many miles and years ago

A story that came from so
Many miles and years ago
The legend of the magic shield
The elf, the dwarf
The man who carries true faith deep within
Was known by everyone as Oakenshield
