Emerald Forest And The Blackbird |
My Child, I will bury you on the highest hill, |
beside the tallest tree where winter will cover you |
and build the biggest castle. |
There I will bury you, from the arms of your mother. |
Soon the angels will carry you over the edge of the world, |
lead you through the deepest forest, |
away from sickness, into the light. |
Sleep my child, lay down your head and leave this pain, |
I’ll read your these last pages of the tale. |
To endless morning I’m cursed from here on; |
you will be taken, I was meant to stay… |
The Emerald Forest was quiet |
and the deep green of the diamond leaves |
was glimmering in the sky high tree tops |
on the gentle wind, tall as the mountains in the east. |
Echoes of the steps of giants |
were fading like the beat of your weak heart. |
Shades of night welcome you with a twisted smile. |
Slowly with every tiny breath. |
Hold my hand tight, nothing will hurt you here. |
You are almost home my little angel, I will lead you through. |
Night creatures, unicorns and white owls, |
treasures hidden in the emerald glow. |
Green light on the white altar and the black throne, |
choirs of ancients blessing your passage to the world below. |
The path through the woods was getting narrow |
and the aisle of trees shaded the last light of the moon. |
But the light from the candles on the bridge across the water |
lit the way from emerald steps, marking our trail deeper. |
This is the frontier as far as I can pass, |
but the calling of the Blackbird will lead you on from here. |
Every tear will turn to an emerald in this forest, |
and this is where it ends, the cry turns to laughter, my son. |
You will be taken, I was meant to stay, my loved one. |
