Banquet Of Bards

(album: To Oak Woods Bestowed - 2000)

Should I never roam anymore
I'm on journey, silently the moon whispers
Words I'll be recalling
Miles away lies the unknown fate
Through dwarven lands, where the shadows
Never fall in I rest and sing
Under an oak so old

Round and round we dance through
The willows even though the day's turning dark very fast now
Rivers full of dreams flow endlessly
May the stars will stay and will laugh at our smallness

Into the woods, hear the silver firs' breathing
Where the forests end, it's the banquet of bards
So, that's the magic whirling clouds and fair
Journey stories to find!

Someone's announcing the event of a new day's birth
Bards around a table sing "All is fair in love and war!"
Farewell, my friends, I leave

Wisdom's all I learned so far, words of ages
Heard the jester's voice, by the ruins he spoke
Atrocious truths under the cloak of lunacy
Learning from into the brushwood of K'horen
I lie and wait, chasing my dreams so far

Round and round we dance through
The willows even though the day's turning dark very fast now
Rivers full of dreams flow endlessly
May the stars will stay and will laugh at our smallness

Into the woods, hear the silver firs' breathing
Where the forests end, it's the banquet of bards
So, that's the magic whirling clouds and fair
Journey stories to find!

In a forgotten place of earth, a noble quest it has begun
Another banquet, another song, grace to you o forest deep
Gathering of dwarves, elves and men
Satchels and pouches they bring forth
The banquet of bards

Now that we leave all the crickets stay silent
Along our quest, we'll see the world spin
Mystic places and yellowing leaves that won't fall
It's my own fate

Into the woods, hear the banquet of bards
The treasure I found now I share with you
