Song three in from the concept album "To the North"
lyrics
Exhausted and weary from the pilgrimage
Alger's mind is racing into the deepest sleep
steadfast watching over her beloved ones
Mila hears the voices of the trees - speaking to her
"Follow the path and you'll see
visions projected from the crag
Follow the path and you'll know
that what we have can help you an your family"
Mila leaves the fire mesmerized & distraught
voices lead her far away into the night
deeper and down the rooted path, she did step
in the forest temple Mila knows she's not alone
"Follow the path and you'll see
visions projected from the crag
Follow the path and you'll know
that what we have can help you an your family"
Taste the nectar from the pines
feel the knowledge descend on your body
Lay down here upon the forest floor
close your eyes and let your thoughts cascade
into the territory of stars
become overtaken by the trees
Alger is waking, he knows something's wrong
Guided by the laughter and the cries in the night
with his steady axe in hand, he charges out
fleet of foot racing but no direction
Unforeseen Alger finds himself bereft of his family
"Follow the path and you'll see
visions projected from the crag
Follow the path and you'll know
that what we have can help you an your family"
destined to become forest lore
helpless you will never find your way
lost to your forever cherished ones
you've become overtaken by the trees
and through the darkness
left abandoned
by the fireside
lies little Emanuel
