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
{Refrain:} 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
{au Refrain}
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.
