The Ethereal Forest Songtext / Lyric

Empyrean Sanctum
The Ethereal Forest Lyrics

As I walk along these sullen shores, sorrow fills my soul
I mourn the death of the Mariner, the only friend I've ever known

I drift away into an empty forest and lay beneath a tree
I close my eyes and fall asleep, my dreamworld comes to me

Cast from the wake I am weary (wandering in this place)
Surrounded by misty vales and trees (spirits enter my soul)
Forlorn visions of my shadowed past (clouding up my mind)
The magic of the forest (consumes reality)

Sitting in darkness pondering life and what has come to be
(I am the one who must travel the land)
Oh god please just tell me why, why did you choose me?
(and fulfill my destiny)
Grandfather's words, they run through my head
Remembering what he said

[Chorus]
And I feel it deep inside, the spirits in my mind
are showing me the way, out of the shades of grey
And I fear I cannot hide from the voices in my mind
telling me to go to the northern lands of snow

My time is running low
(Your time is running low)
My time is running low!

The wind disturbs the peace (the rain falls to the earth)
and the forest comes alive (and I see before my eyes)
The sound of the rustling leaves (a cavern in the dark)
causes me to arise (my feet take me inside)

Awakened from the dream, I feel the heaven's cries
I stand up on my feet and turn my head towards the skies

[Chorus]
