Lyrics

In the arms of rimed soil
Lies the autumn's last withered leaf
Land now bare and naked
Awaits its snowy sheet
And as the light still lingers (Lingers, lingers)
Painting scarlet this barren scene (Barren scene, scene)
An old man (An old man) sings his song (Song, song)
Of melancholy and relinquish (Relinquish)
I'm a whirl deep in dark waters
A stare in the shades of fir-trees
I'm riding above with north wind
Herding the black clouds of rain
Mine is the kingdom
Far from the moon to the sun
I am the elder
Standing forever as one
And in that sudden moment
When everything's turned to still
He abruptly breaks the silence
Becomes one with longing
And singing ever stronger (Stronger, stronger)
Nature joins as one with him (One with him, with him)
Fire in his eyes (Eyes, eyes)
Universe under twisted grin
I'm a whirl deep in dark waters
A stare in the shades of fir-trees
I'm riding above with north wind
Herding the black clouds of rain
Mine is the kingdom
Far from the moon to the sun
I am the elder
Standing forever as one
I'm a whirl deep in dark waters
A stare in the shades of fir-trees
I'm riding above with north wind
Herding the black clouds of rain
I'm a whirl deep in dark waters
A stare in the shades of fir-trees
I'm riding above with north wind
Herding the black clouds of rain
Mine is the kingdom
Far from the moon to the sun
I am the elder
Standing forever as one
