Píseň: Elvenpath

Interpret:
Nightwish
Album:
Angels Fall First
In the sheltering shade of the forest 
Calling calming silence 
Accompanied only by the full moon 
The howling of a night wolf 
And the path under my bare feet... 
...The Elvenpath 


Hearing music from the deepest forest 
Songs as a seduction of sirens 
The elf-folk is calling me 


Tapio, Bear-king, Ruler of the forest 
Mielikki, Bluecloak, Healer of the ill and sad 
Open the gate and let me follow the uncarven path 




The way to the lands 
Where as a hero I stand 
The path where Beauty met the Beast 
Elvenpath 
It's the honesty of these worlds 
Ruled by magic and mighty swords 
That makes my soul long for the past 
Elvenpath 


The moonwitch took me to a ride on a broomstick 
Introduced me to her old friend home gnome 
Told me to keep the sauna warm for him 


At the grove I met the rest - the folk of my fantasies 
Bilbo, Sparhawk, goblins and pixies 
Snowman, Willow, trolls and the seven dwarves 
The path goes forever on 


The way to the lands 
Where as a hero I stand 
The path where Beauty met the Beast 
Elvenpath 
It's the honesty of these worlds 
Ruled by magic and mighty swords 
That makes my soul long for the past 
Elvenpath 


Long ago, 
In the early years of the Second Age, 
Great elven smiths forged rings of power. 


As I return to my room 
And as sleep takes me by my hand 
Madrigals from the woods 
Carry me to neverland 
In this spellbound night 
The world's an elvish sight 
In this spellbound night 
The world's an elvish sight 


But then, the Dark Lord learned the craft of ringmaking and made the master ring.
