ELDER LYRICS

1. Gemini

Those days, where were we to go?
Stumbling down the empty streets that will swallow in us whole
Breathing was the thing, we traversed this hazy mountain pass
Sipping harsh elixir, nights above us melting fast

I'm coming home
It's been so long
I'm coming home

Held fast the ship that board us forth
Enveloped in the darkness, buried frosty dreams in all
Spoke to me in slumber, fleeing on the wings of dawn
Ember flame arising, we better journey on

I'm coming home
I'm coming home

2. Dead Roots Stirring

Sense awaken
So deep a breach against the ice
Signs up stepping
Give way a flower of the time

Old oak standing
Woven a temple to the times
New growth coming
Green sheet a fabric of the lies

Black void yawning
This mass will bury us alive
Dead roots stirring
New life's shining in our eyes

Not stay rooted to the shore
Let the waves consume our bones
Don't you know it's hard to live
When we go it all alone

3. III

[Instrumental]

4. The End

Withered wisps of hair
Upon a throne of gold
You built your hollow kingdom
For which you sold your soul
A fading silent prayer
Echoes as it dies
The ones we seek, the longest are
The ones we never find

Blankly staring eyes
As deep as holy jewels
Fixed upon the future
But deadened still and cruel
Although it seems to shine
Thought returns to dust
Giving back the heathen ground
The light she gave to us

5. Knot

Rising up
Broken down by will of time
Swallow pride, wake you up divine

Protects the low
Watching those who will not shine
What is lost, we will find

Gave up lifetime
Not on time, set shows the den
The center moves the spineless free

Senses are dead
Push your head, but cannot see
Can't look back up from the deep

This side the wind keeps blowing
Yet cuts me to the bone
And now these hearts keep beating
No gestures cold as stone

The falling spade
The wheel to blame the warning now
Onto a burning massive flame

The heavy fate to soon create will never die
What still belongs possess the threat

This doubtless spree of chaos
Woven into the skies
No gods of ancient ages
A coven we despise
