Song title White Willow
Artist Elvenking
at night i heard the owls say
find the truth beneath the stars
you'll have to travel back to heaths of green
the entrance to the oak woods will be revealed to you
a king will tell you to ride until
the leaves on the trees from black colour turn to green
there to find the oak woods i seek
where the old oaks still speak
at night i heard the old king say
to find your journey through the dark
you'll have to travel on a field of green
through time dark landscapes leave their place to grasslands of joy
bestowed to ancient oak woods here i
stand astonished by green
light of power covers me
to understand the nature of man
i have now to speak with the trees
in my life i've always prayed the ancients acting with pure honesty
this is time to face the truth
so here i go
running through the woods i question every plant and every tree
searching for the answer that was promised to me
then the full moon comes out
and the wind whispers in my ear
ask for white willow near the silver lake
the fire in my heart was burning like the flames of ancient times
white willow with his knowledge opened up my eyes
the vision of the world i had before was based on thousand lies
white willow taught me how to live my life with truth
and there it stands
the only white willow tree
he embraced me and he told me to gaze at the stars
the wise old tree twice spoke to me and he said
bring truth to the ones that you trust
and make them believe that i still exist
so he closed his eyes and i travelled back home
back to my world
home i return
and the birds cry out the old king has died
with tears in my eyes i follow my heritage
now i am to be new elvenking
the fire in my heart was burning like the flames of ancient times
white willow with his knowledge opened up my eyes
the vision of the world i had before was based on thousand lies
