Lyrics
Wrend
Let me tell you a legend
The legend of our legacy
Telling us it is not the end
Darkness had gone for long
Angels and devils had mourn
Their loneliness in a sacred song
Mankind soon was to be born
From the magic forest womb
And released in the untorn
Elves, muses and unicorns
Of an aging silvering world
Still were the beating core
And here is the legend
Long forgotten today given
Of that elf called Wrend
Last of her dying kind
With a gentle simple touch
She had the power of foresight
Queen of the earth she was
Knight of knowledge she cared
Pure and clear like sunrise
But one day thick and heavy day
Sweating in the deep forest
Her joy vanished forever
The air was filled with tension
Something some one was living here
Wrend entered the future and the unknown
Before her a splendid creature
Barely standing on its two feet
Yet handling with precise gesture
A new link man’s first leap
The new and next keeper of nature
Wrend’s kind could go to sleep
She followed the man to his clan
While waiting to introduce herself
Imagined all she would lay before them
All the treasures knowledge and light
Stones plants and chemistry
Maybe even the power of sight
The next morning they joined the others
Wrend waited for the end of the day
When mind and heart come at ease
Intriguing they were maybe insane
But as she walked into the cave
Wrend’s disillusion grew greater again
And as she finally touched their kind
Wrend had the most horrific vision
Chaos and blood is their trail left behind
Wrend slipped away in tears
Doomed and yet the new ruler
Dawning an age of fear
But the gifts he shall not enjoy
Not the knowledge not the sight
Not the touch not the voice
The legend says she still watches
Trying to awake us before she goes
Sending us her sons the prophets
But doomed we are
So it says too
Left alone and cruel
What is that fever
That burning passion
Turning life into survival
Will we ever be worthy
Keep the promises of our being
And awake to our legacy
The look in their eyes
Like of a cruel child
This creatures were doomed oh yes
What do you think?
