Elvenpath (Live)

Written by：Tuomas Holopainen

In the sheltering shade of the forest

Calling calming silence

Accompanied only by the full moon

The howling of a night wolf

And the path under my bare feet

The elvenpath

Hearing music from the deepest forest

Songs as a seduction of sirens

The elf-folk is calling me

Tapio bear-king ruler of the forest

Mielikki bluecloak healer of the ill and sad

Open the gate and let me follow the uncarven path

The way to the lands

Where as a hero I stand

The path where beauty met the beast

Elvenpath

It's the honesty of these worlds

Ruled by magic and mighty swords

That makes my soul long for the past

Elvenpath

The moonwitch took me to a ride on a broomstick

Introduced me to her old friend home gnome

Told me to keep the sauna warm for him

At the grove I met the rest the folk of my fantasies

Bilbo sparhawk goblins and pixies

Snowman willow trolls and the seven dwarves

The path goes forever on

The way to the lands

Where as a hero I stand

The path where beauty met the beast

Elvenpath

It's the honesty of these worlds

Ruled by magic and mighty swords

That makes my soul long for the past

Elvenpath

Long ago

In the early years of the second age

The great elven-smiths forged the rings of power

As I return to my room

And as sleep takes me by my hand

Madrigals from the woods

Carry me to neverland

In this spellbound night

The worlds an elvish sight

In this spellbound night

The worlds an elvish sight

But then the dark lord learned the craft of ring making

And made the master ring
