Solace

Nightfall embraces the day
Enshrouding the world in her ebony cloak
As I make my way home through the silence and snow
My mind starts to journey beyond
I dream of a land before time
All the riches of nature in symphony
And I cherish them all with a grateful man’s heart
For no longer alone do I dwell
From solitary slumber I wake
With a vision of heaven asleep by my side
As the sand grains of time slip away into memory
Awaken desires most deep
I never knew my life could be
So indescribable with colour and fantasy
And I wanted to be what you wanted of me
When I took my place in the stars
Greet the morning with me
What shall it be? Enraptured by dreams?
Tell me, teach me to fly
My soul can be free

Do you feel the thorns?
Do you see the tears?
Do you see the bloodshed in this fell war?
Have you forsaken us?
Have you forgotten our faithful men calling your name?
While I stand before you
While we perish
While I lay down a crimson rose
While holding hands are forced apart
While hopes bog like condemned men
Were you there?
The sky is falling on me
As your hand's turning old and weak
I'm giving myself upon to thee
A futile sacrifice gone sere
In your nemeton
These grey stone walls are cold and silent
As the fallen mother gone deaf
Mistress of shattered hopes
And forever broken dreams
Were you there?
The sky is falling on me
As your hand's turning old and weak
I'm giving myself upon to thee
A futile sacrifice gone sere
Were you there?
Were you there?
The sky is falling on me
As your hand's turning old and weak
I'm giving myself upon to thee
A futile sacrifice gone sere
Falling on me

As I wonder at the beauty of nature around me
And the moonlight it gleams through the canopy above
Enraptured I’m captured and taken aback
By the calming embrace of the forests I love
The roots of the trees so deep and so dark
Implanted in the ground, once the seedlings of time
The song of the leaves and the words of the bark
The whisper, come hither, that intrigues my troubled mind
I’m carried away by the sound of the silence
With grace and beauty divine
My mind starts to wander of fantastic beasts
The vivid most fantasy trapped in a starry-eyed child
Spears shall be shaken, wind time, wolf time
Ere the moon falls
Brother kill brother for purpose divine
Ere the world falls

Now you all know
The bards and their songs
When hours have gone by
I'll close my eyes
In a world far away
We may meet again
But now hear my song
About the dawn of the night
Let's sing the bards' song
Tomorrow will take us away
Far from home
No one will ever know our names
But the bards' songs will remain
Tomorrow will take it away
The fear of today
It will be gone
Due to our magic songs
There's only one song
Left in my mind
Tales of a brave man
Who lived far from here
Now the bard songs are over
And it's time to leave
No one should ask you for the name
Of the one
Who tells the story
Tomorrow will take us away
Far from home
No one will ever know our names
But the bards' songs will remain
Tomorrow all will be known
And you're not alone
So don't be afraid
In the dark and cold
'Cause the bards' songs will remain
They all will remain
In my thoughts and in my dreams
They're always in my mind
These songs of hobbits, dwarves and men
And elves
Come close your eyes
You can see them too

Solitude

Softly now, close your eyes
And breathe with me for one final time
Signs of life and the love that we shared
In a fleeting moment of happiness
Countless nights I have spent
So lost in you, hung on every word
Sleep then comes and carries you away
And I’m left in the melancholy silence
Kiss me slowly and hold me close
Think of me as your life unfolds
Cherish the memories and savour the joy
That we felt as we danced through the stars
Look at me with a smile in your eyes
No more tears no fears of goodbye
Thankful now for the time that we spent
Dancing our way through the stars
So kiss me slowly and hold me close
Think of me as your life unfolds
Cherish the memories and savour the joy
That we felt as we danced through the stars
Sharing the moon we look to the sky
Searching for truth and a reason why
Solace and calm are the places we seek
Only in you could my soul be free
