Dead Can Dance - Tell me about the Forest lyrics

rate me

Farewell, now, my sister

Up ahead there lies your road

And your conscience walks beside you

It's the best friend you'll ever know

And the past is now your future

It bears witness to your soul

Make sure that the love you offer up

Does not fall on barren soil

For the wind cries of late

In the whispering grass

Our way of life is held

In the spinning wheels of chance

I believe in a way of long ago

And the sounds I believe rose our glow

And we're changing our ways

Yes, we are taking on different roads

Tell me more about the forest

That you once called home

For the wind cries of late

In the whispering leaves

And the sun will turn to waste

The heavens we build above

Father, teach your children

To treat our mother well

If we give her back her diamonds

She will offer up her pearl

We must sing her creation song

Jeune du monde

Invoke the spirits that feed us

This dreaming takes too long

But I'm not bitter, no, I'm surviving

To face the world, to raise the future

So why don't you tell me, come on and tell me

About the world you left behind

Can you tell me?
