******************************************************** "The sheltering shade of the forest, calling calm and silence, accompanied only by the fullmoon howing of nightwolf. And the path under my feet, the elvenpath" Hearing music from the deepest forest Songs as a seduction of sirens The elf-folk is calling me Tapio, Bearking, Ruler of the forest Mielikki, Bluecloak, Healer of the ill and sad Open the gate and let me follow the uncarven path The way to the lands Where as a hero I stand The path where Beauty met the Beast Elvenpath Itīs the honesty of these worlds Ruled by magic and mighty swords That makes my soul long for the past Elvenpath The moonwitch took me to a ride on a broomstick Introduced me to her old friend Home Gnome Told me to keep the sauna warm for him At the grove I met rest-the folk of my fantasies Bilbo, Sparhawk, goblins and pixies, Snowman, Willow, trolls and the seven dwarfs The path goes forever on The way to the lands Where as a hero I stand The path where Beauty met the Beast Elvenpath Itīs the honesty of these worlds Ruled by magic and mighty swords That makes my soul long for the past Elvenpath "Long ago, the early years of the second age. Great Elvensmiths forged the rings of power" As I return to my room And as sleep takes me by my hand Madrigals from the woods Carry me to neverland In this spellbound night The worldīs an elvish sight "But then the dark lord learned of the craft of ring making, and made the master ring" ********************************************************
