Nivaira - For The Knig's Advice lyrics

rate me

In our days of sorrow<br />

With tears in the eyes<br />

I went to the oaken palace<br />

For the king´s advice<br />

<br />

I´ll tell about the strangers<br />

Who came from the southern lands<br />

Who burned our wooden houses<br />

And stole our bread<br />

<br />

There were children played in the sun<br />

The golden seas of ears ripened<br />

Now my soul is weeping for them<br />

My land is mute and grey-haired winds of ashes fly<br />

<br />

The bitter smoke will disperse<br />

The day will break again<br />

The trees will rise<br />

The ashes will be gone with the rain<br />

<br />

But pain is taking my heart<br />

I´ll speak to the mighty king<br />

For those who nevermore<br />

Will see another spring<br />

<br />

There were children played in the sun<br />

The golden seas of ears ripened<br />

Now my soul is weeping for them<br />

My land is mute and grey-haired winds of ashes fly<br />

<br />

I walk through snowy mountains<br />

Where no one´s been before<br />

I see the light of blazes<br />

That burnt my home<br />

<br />

I walk through snowy mountains<br />

And treasure faith and hope<br />

I see the shade of evil<br />

That look it all<br />

<br />

There were children played in the sun<br />

The golden seas of ears ripened<br />

Now my soul is weeping for them<br />

My land is mute and grey-haired winds of ashes fly<br />

<br />

Once we ploughed our rich earth<br />

And drank our rowan wine for thee<br />

Now, my king, we´re hungry and lost<br />

The hope is gone, the leaves don´t grow on blackened trees
