Lyrics
Alder King
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Faster and faster the night’s getting darker
We’re riding on the wings of wind
Deep down in the forest the trees seem to whisper:
“The midnight hour is closing in”
Alone in the darkness
Fear from every side
No silence nor calmness
We’re searching for light
They’re smiling and dancing right there in the thicket
They’re cheerfully beckoning me
Why don’t we stop here to play for a moment?
They want us to join them, oh dad, can’t you see?
My son don’t you look there!
And don’t you believe!
They’re trying to fool you!
So don’t be deceived!
The alder king is calling you tonight
Don’t be afraid I want you to stay here by my side
The alder king is gonna teach you how to smile
So come into my chambers
Chambers of delight!
All I can see are the trees and the bushes
But dad, look at this magic gleam!
It’s only delusion, your fever is rising
I almost can touch them, they can’t be unreal
Calm down, see the light there
Forget ‘bout the past
You won’t ever come back
You’re my son at last!
The alder king is calling you tonight
Don’t be afraid I want you to stay here by my side
The alder king is gonna teach you how to smile
So come into my chambers
Chambers of delight!
