Elephant - Tears Of The Tortured Trees lyrics

rate me

The light from the trees is gone, the old dwarf sighed<br />

Frigid swells like blossoming stars on the waft of a threnody<br />

Transience arrives in requiem<br />

They've stolen the moon and depression once more haunts the woods<br />

<br />

Roam the forbidden path in the shadows forlorn<br />

Their spoken names echo amongst twisted agony<br />

Buried in a tangle of secrets is mankind's greatest gift<br />

Hope lies in a deep grave where the sun is seldom seen<br />

<br />

Steel rules the night<br />

Forged by an elder hammer<br />

I gaze into the ebon lake<br />

Reflecting tears of ice<br />

<br />

Trolls in the menacing fog<br />

Dim, grey nightmares howling in the rain<br />

In the cold eclipse, by the sleeping hills of Glom<br />

Whispers caress in the wind mocking the tortured cries<br />

Peals of lamentation - the plaint of a thousand mourning their loss<br />

Endless hours of thirst and fear decay in thought<br />

In the darkness I shall dream under an aegis of viridian leaves<br />

As soothing as the breeze between the planets - sanctuary from the lords<br />

<br />

Cleanse the forests with flame<br />

Sorcery without reason<br />

The glorious past lies in ashes<br />

And the dead will soar<br />

Once again the three are together<br />

The Moonslayer, The Countess and The Wolf<br />

A trove of knowledge beyond imagination<br />

Ivory towers of an ideal future<br />

Those afflicted with the humor<br />

Laughing in the mantle of time<br />

Together shall wait<br />

And watch it all
