[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]
