[00:00.00]
[00:46.00] Listen o ye my old friend
[00:50.12] Hear my songs echoing out through the archways of the elms
[00:54.50] On the leaves my bare feet tread
[00:58.06] I leave a trace of my existence with my bitterness and aims
[01:04.95]
[01:18.40] Surrounded by a cloak of haze
[01:23.10] Lacerating and trying to wound my weary flesh and firm belief
[01:27.40] Step by step in this dark maze
[01:31.18] I try to find a sign that leads me far away from the relief
[01:35.44]
[01:36.21] All the miles to cover
[01:39.96] A little closer to the gale
[01:44.27] I face this storm crying out my wail
[01:49.24]
[01:55.21] Through perilous, insidious ways
[01:57.48] I walk uneasy steps... I'm led by grief
[02:03.25] The soil I tread is crumbling
[02:05.68] Like shifting sands is eating me away
[02:08.57] It's taking me under, no air to breathe, no blood to bleed
[02:11.93]
[02:44.67] Wake the fury, the cry for mercy
[02:48.25] Feel the winter's fire
[02:51.37] Back to old days where I can recall
[02:54.36] My candid unready desires
[02:57.90] Abortion, contention, turned to new life and redemption
[03:04.15] Carried away by all that's said and done, I'm a teardrop away from salvation
[03:10.77] from my own liberation
[03:13.30]
[03:13.60] Now the time has come, and my path undone
[03:19.87] All the boundaries've been broken, chains are dead and gone
[03:26.42] Now the time has come, and I am the one
[03:33.22] A reign of renewal, carved in my roots
[03:36.64] The king of the elves... is back!
[03:40.72]
[04:22.82] One night I heard the owls say:
[04:27.00] "Find the truth beneath the stars and travel back to heaths of green"
[04:31.24] A memory from long ago
[04:35.22] Vague images are floating like a branch I need to cling to
[04:41.89]
[04:56.33] I have been under siege
[05:00.26] But overwhelmed my enemies
[05:04.69] I'm still alive, prevail the realm
[05:08.84]
[05:15.67] Through perilous, insidious ways
[05:17.95] I walk uneasy steps... I'm led by grief
[05:24.13] The soil I tread is crumbling
[05:26.10] Like shifting sands is eating me away
[05:28.47] It's taking me under, no air to breathe, no blood to bleed
[05:32.42] (Guitar solo: Aydan)
[06:32.53]
[06:46.00] Standing by the oak tree, crooked bones all over me
[06:50.34] Knock, knock, hear the clock
[06:52.41] The spiders now are stitching up
[06:54.44] Standing by the ghost tree, lumpy, knotty old tree
[06:58.46] Tic, Toc, Tic, Toc
[07:00.46] All my time is running out
[07:02.36]
[07:02.66] I yearn for my release, disheartened bars contrived with hurt
[07:09.99] *Tear it up, tear it up, tear it up*
[07:10.60] A weave of broken dreams is caging me yet I will run away
[07:19.08] Standing by the oak tree, crooked bones all over me
[07:23.06] Knock, knock, hear the clock
[07:25.04] The spiders now are stitching up
[07:27.18] Standing by the ghost tree, lumpy, knotty old tree
[07:31.27] Tic, Toc, Tic, Toc
[07:33.35] All my time is running out
[07:35.45] I yearn for my release, disheartened bars contrived with hurt
[07:43.58] A weave of broken dreams is caging me yet I will run away
[07:53.91]
[07:55.16] (Guitar solo: Raphael)
[08:24.84]
[08:33.60] The light of a new day is born
[08:37.95] Caressing with its morning breeze
[08:42.10] Crimson winds are gone with dawn
[08:46.06] With every memory to seize
[08:50.28] Stand and hail the sovereign
[08:54.27] Dethroned, banished in slavery
[08:58.46] Acclaim and revere the new King
[09:02.32] Crowned with just own reverie,
[09:08.88] Our dream and fantasy
[09:14.79]
[09:27.00] Dreaming away
[09:30.16] Find another way to live and
[09:34.36] Find another dawn and another place
[09:39.82] Dreaming away
[09:43.19] Try to be strong within and
[09:47.38] Find another path and another road
[09:53.21] Dreaming away
[10:00.50] Give relief to the scars of yesterday
[10:06.02] Washing away
[10:13.50] All the blames you have already paid for...
[10:19.11]
[10:31.77] Now the time has come, and I sing my song
[10:38.13] ...of a small boy chasing daydreams, reaching high above
[10:44.53] Now the time has come, and I am the one
[10:51.82] The passionate heartbeat and my soul ablaze
[10:55.13] I have been crowned...
[10:57.76]
[11:04.66] Abduction, subversion, deep inside, a wild commotion
[11:11.57] No more at war with all that's said and done, I have finally conquered salvation
[11:17.98] and my own liberation
[11:20.66]
[11:20.88] Now the time has come, and my path undone
[11:27.06] All the boundaries've been broken, chains are dead and gone
[11:33.61] Now the time has come, and I am the one
[11:40.50] A reign of renewal, carved in my roots
[11:44.00] The king of the elves... is back!
[11:48.09]
[12:00.88] With tears in my eyes, I now follow my heritage
[12:07.42] I have been crowned the new Elvenking
[12:12.44]
[12:14.05] With tears in my eyes, I now follow my heritage
[12:20.48] I have been crowned the new Elvenking
[12:26.34]
