The mountains whisper old tales The river carries voices of the past The dawn breaks softly on the forest Echoes of courage everlast He grew beneath the open sky Walking paths his ancestors knew When the steel came to the forests He stood strong his heart was true Through shadowed woods and rolling rivers He carried hope like morning dew Oh warrior of the fading sun Your name the forest will keep Though the world may change its face Your fire will never sleep Through storms and battles through night and flame Your spirit rises from the deep He rode across smoke and memory The frontier tried to erase Yet every step upon the earth Awakens the ancestral gaze Among the cliffs and flowing rivers His courage left a shining trace Thunder rolls the forest mourns But life will rise again In every leaf in every stone His legacy will remain Oh warrior of the fading sun Your name the forest will keep Though the steel may scar the land Your song will forever leap Through wind and rain through shadowed vale Your heart beats strong your vow runs deep The river calms the fire fades But the echo says he will return Through forest sky and mountain high His legend lives it cannot die
