Insomnium - The Elder lyrics

In the arms of rimed soil
Lies the autumn's last withered leaf
Land now bare and naked
Await's 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

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

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

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
