Watchful Elms

Darkness slides it's unhealthy hand

Through the lost and forgotten realms

And the few and unfortunate to walk this land

Stumble blind through the watchful elms

As their heartbeats rise and their courage dies

The hope to see dawn grows dim

From behind each rise spring a pair of eyes

And the whole of the night looks grim

Cult of the river god awaken now

For the sound disturbs your sleep

What is this unsettling silence here

What emerges from the deep

Creep forth black mass of lizard things

With your backs to the rising wind

Black void howling enchanted things

As the thunderclouds roll in

The swamp starts spitting out profane delights

With a shrill and a savage cry

The rain picks up a most unholy song

As lightning splits the sky

Gotta find a mountain

Gotta find a cave

Some inner sanctuary

Some more peaceful place

Gotta shake this evil off my tail

Leave this world forever

And cover up my trail

Take it easy, take it easy

Close your frightened eyes and give your mind a chance to fly

Let the fire in your belly out into the sky

Sit with the gnomes at the end of the rainbow

In the trees where the green goblins hang low

And the leprechauns sit on their pot o' gold

And the children of the eldritch never grow old

Waiting for the daylight

Standing at the break of dawn

Standing in the twilight

Ça fait longtemps, ça fait longtemps que j'l'attends yeah

Effoiré à l'ombre en attendant

Que tout recommence calmement

Patient children, patient children

Waiting for the night to end
