Swallowed by the Night |
I was dying in the moss |
I was sick and I was lost |
In the forests of black rain |
I had almost gone insane |
Someone heard my desperate cries |
A spirit in a wolf’s disguise |
He took me through the forest deep |
As my body fell asleep |
(Sung as the last part) |
[I was sinking in the sea |
Until darkness swallowed me |
And the water filled my chest |
As the pressure crushed me |
I was taken by the streams |
Away from my lonely dreams |
Then on the bottom of the ocean |
I was freed from all emotion] |
I was running from a fire |
I ran through woods and over mire |
Through thick smoke and dark terrain |
I just couldn’t embrace the pain |
As I ran the fire spread |
Until all was burnt and dead |
Then in the ashes of my shell |
Something new began to dwell |
In my shade no flowers bloomed |
I was cursed and I was doomed |
But what falls will also land |
Mother nature took my hand |
Pain to strength and tears to gold |
I grew wiser as I grew old |
And out of any dead remains |
Flowers grow and new life reigns |
