Elvenking - White Willow lyrics
[Elvenking - White Willow lyrics]
At night I heard the owls say:
"Find the truth beneath the stars
You'll have to travel back to heaths of green
The entrance to the oak woods
Will be revealed to you
A king will tell you to ride until"
The leaves on the trees
From black colour turn to green
There to find the oak woods I seek
Where the old oaks still speak
At night I heard the old king say:
"To find your journey through the dark
You'll have to travel on a field of green"
Through time dark landscapes leave
Their place to grasslands of joy
Bestowed to ancient oak woods here I
Stand astonished by green
Light of power covers me
To understand the nature of man
I have now to speak with the trees
Speak with the trees
In my life I always prayed
The ancients acting with pure honesty
This is time to face the truth so here I go
Running through the woods I question
Every plant and every tree
Searching for the answer that
Was promised to me
Then the full moon comes out and
The wind whispers in my ear:
"Ask for White Willow near the Silver Lake"
The fire in my heart was
Burning like the flames of ancient times
White Willow with his knowledge
Opened up my eyes the vision of the world I
Had before was based on thousand lies
White Willow taught me how to
Live my life with truth
And there it stands the
Only White Willow tree
He embraced me and he told me
To gaze at the stars!
The wise old tree twice spoke
To me and he said:
"Bring truth to the ones that you trust
And make them believe that I still exist"
So he closed his eyes and
I traveled back home
Back to my world, to home I return:
And the birds cry out: "The
Old king has died"
With tears in my eyes I follow my heritage:
Now I am to be the new Elvenking!
The fire in my heart was
Burning like the flames of ancient times
White Willow with his knowledge
Opened up my eyes the vision of the world I
Had before was based on thousand lies
White Willow taught me how to
Live my life with truth
-Green power light was flowing
Down my eyes like waters from the falls
White Willow filled my heart with
Lore I now recall (lore I now recall)
The black horizons once I saw now turn
To white as I pass by
And now I know why man can't bear
To know the nature of the truth
And there it stands
The only white willow tree
With golden leaves and a sweet old voice
He embraced me, hard as rock
And he told me, gaze at the stars
"Find the truth beneath the stars
You'll have to travel back to heaths of green
The entrance to the oak woods
Will be revealed to you
A king will tell you to ride until"
The leaves on the trees
From black colour turn to green
There to find the oak woods I seek
Where the old oaks still speak
At night I heard the old king say:
"To find your journey through the dark
You'll have to travel on a field of green"
Through time dark landscapes leave
Their place to grasslands of joy
Bestowed to ancient oak woods here I
Stand astonished by green
Light of power covers me
To understand the nature of man
I have now to speak with the trees
Speak with the trees
In my life I always prayed
The ancients acting with pure honesty
This is time to face the truth so here I go
Running through the woods I question
Every plant and every tree
Searching for the answer that

Then the full moon comes out and
