[intro Solo Flute] [verse 1] Once, when I was young, the world was another place, A place of might and of pride. (ahaa haa ahaa) When my father ruled, darkness prevailed absolute, No light was seen for so long. (ahaa haa ahaa) I followed the words and thoughts of my ancestors, With none of my own heart’s choice- [verse 2] But then I met her; suddenly a sun did rise, With warmth, a new life began. (ahaa haa ahaa) Her voice, soft and gentle, like whispers upon the wind, Her eyes as deep as the sea. (ahaa haa ahaa) A slave to my race, yet free and unbound her mind, She was full of love for me- [chorus] She was the light in the darkness, The love of my life, She brought warmth to my cold heart, And tears to my eyes. She, the moon elf, a maid of grace, A ray of hope in my world, Where the dark once ruled solely - and absolute! [verse 3] But then in a dark moment hope was lost again; Since my father got wind of this. (ahaa haa haa) He took her away and so time stopped for my heart, My soul was crushed in despair. (ahaa haa haa) She was imprisoned, trialed and condemned to death, So my heart was doomed to die- [bridge] I'll never forget; I'll never forgive; They shall burn, like she did burn! - On the stake! I'll never forget; I'll never forgive; Oh mighty Father, I'll bring you down! - I'll bring you war! [chorus] She was the light in the darkness, The love of my life, She brought warmth to my cold heart, And tears to my eyes. She, the moon elf, a maid of grace, A ray of hope in my world, Where the dark once ruled solely- and absolute! [verse 4] She is gone by now, my love, my lovely maiden, Her warmth no longer remains. (ahaa haa ahaa) Only burning hate will now linger in my veins, My heart's like a frozen rock. (ahaa haa ahaa) Now I’ll bring despair to the once glorious house, The fires of hate shall burn- [flute solo] (ahaa haa ahaa) [outro melancholic] Time went on, Nothing remains, Except for my pain. Alone in the dark, Alone in the ruins, Waiting for my end. Waiting to be reunited with her! Once again. [fade to end]
