King Of The Elves

Listen o my old friend

Hear my song echoing out through the archways of the elms

On the leaves my bare feet tread

I leave a trace of my existence with my bitterness and aims

Surrounding by a cloak of haze

Lacerating trying to wound my weary flesh and firm belief

Step by step in this dark maze

I try to find a sign that leads me far away from the relief

All the miles to cover

A little closer to the gate

I face this storm crying out my wail

Through perilous, insidious ways

I walk uneasy steps, I'm led by grief

The soil I tread is crumbling

Like shifting sands is eating me away

It's taking me under, no air to breathe, no blood to bleed

Wake the fury, the cry for mercy

Feel the winter's fire

Back to old days where I can recall

My candid unready desires

Abortion, contention turned to new life and redemption

Carried away by all that's said and done I'm a teardrop away

From salvation

From my own liberation

Now the time has come and my path undone

All the boundaries've been broken, chains are dead and gone

Now the time has come and I am the one

A reign of renewal, carved on my roots

The king of the elves is back

One night I heard the owls say

Find the truth beneath the stars and travel back to heaths of green

A memory from long ago

Vague are floating like a branch I need to cling to

I have been under siege

But overwhelmed my enemies

I'm still alive, prevail the realm

Standing by the oak tree, crooked bones all over me

Knock, knock, hear the clock

The spiders are now stitching up

Standing by the ghost tree, lumpy, knotty old tree

Tic, toc, tic, toc

All my time is running out

I yearn for my release, disheartened bars contrived with hurt

A weave of broken dreams is caging me yet I will run away

Tear it up, tear it up, tear it up

The light of a new day is born

Caressing with its morning breeze

Crimson winds are gone with dawn

With every memory to seize

Stand and hail the sovereign

Dethroned, banished in slavery

Acclaim and revere the new king

Crowned with just our reverie

Our dream and fantasy

Dreaming away

Find another way to live

And find another dawn and another place

Dreaming away

Try to be so strong within

And find another path and another road

Dreaming away

Give relief to the scars of yesterday

Washing away

All the blames you have already paid for

Now the time has come and I sing my song

Of a small boy chasing daydreams, reaching high above

Now the time has come and I am the one

The passionate heartbeat and my soul ablaze

I have been crowned

Abduction, subversion, deep inside, a wild commotion

No more at war with all that's said and done

I have finally conquered salvation

And my own liberation

With tears in my eyes I now follow my heritage

I have been crowned the new elvenking
