The Elder lyrics

In the arms of rimed soil, lies the autumns last withered leaf
Land now bare and naed, awaits 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
