A Dark & Graceful Wilderness

Hail forest hail mountains Deities of the wilderness Here I am your young brave son The strength of a fierce wind I wish to be the forest’s son The hero of the grand pines On the trail of the forest god Let the world be forgotten In the hearts dark peace The storm blows and the forest roars Lightning sparks fire And the pine falls with thunder Who dreamed us into this Dark and graceful wildernеss? No paths or borderlines Let thе earth become your grail Can anyone survive With sacred fires in their heart When spirits falter And wild nature is forgotten Hail forest hail mountains Deep in peaceful darkness Ravished stars walk and sing Echo through the rushes Rise up mountain air Ascending through the gloom Remade from eternal night Ripe with chaos hunger
