Old Wizzard - Alternate Extended version

[Violin solo] Verse 1 In the corner of the tavern, by the fire’s fading light Sits a man with silver whiskers and eyes that see the night A staff that hums with secrets, robes frayed and torn with time Every wrinkle tells a story, every glance a rhyme Chorus **OldWizzard, keeper of the magical and true** You’ve seen kingdoms fall and skies turn blue to black, it’s true **OldWizzard**, your name’s a magical whisper in the wind And when you raise your hand, the world begins again Verse 2 He talks to shadows softly, they answer with a grin Says, “Magic’s not in potions, boy, it’s buried deep within” His laugh could shake a mountain, his frown could freeze the rain And yet he saves his power for when there’s real pain Chorus **OldWizzard, keeper of the magical and true** You’ve seen kingdoms fall and skies turn blue to black, it’s true **OldWizzard**, your name’s a magical whisper in the wind And when you raise your hand, the world begins again Bridge They say he’s older than the forest Wiser than the magical sea But if you ask him how he does it He’ll just wink and pour the tea Verse 3 When darkness claws the daylight, when the stars forget to shine OldWizzard walks the long road, to set the clocks in line His magic’s not for glory, not for gold or for a throne He just wants to leave the world a little more… unknown [Strings and flute solo] Final Chorus **OldWizzard, keeper of the magical and true** You’ve seen kingdoms fall and skies turn blue to black, it’s true **OldWizzard**, your name’s a magical whisper in the wind And when you raise your hand, the world begins again Verse 4 Some say he dreams in colors the mortal eye can’t see Threads of time and shadow weave his endless tapestry He’s walked with both the living, and dined among the dead Carrying all their secrets in the echoes of his head Outro By the fire he’s still sitting, though the years keep slipping past OldWizzard’s stories fade, but the magic’s built to last
