Elvenking - White Willow

One-Picture Video of Elvenking's "White Willow". Enjoy. Main Website: http://www.elvenking.net/index.php Myspace: http://www.myspace.com/elvenking At night I heard the owls say: "Find the truth beneath the stars. You'll have to travel back to heaths of green. The entrance to the oak woods will be revealed to you. A king will tell you to ride until..." The leaves on the trees from black colour turn to green. There to find the oak woods I seek, Where the old oaks still speak. At night I heard the old king say: "To find your journey through the dark You'll have to travel on a field of green." Through time, dark landscapes leave their place to grasslands of joy. Bestowed to ancient oak woods here I... Stand astonished by green, light of power covers me. To understand the nature of man, I have now to speak with the trees, Speak with the trees. In my life I always prayed the ancients acting with pure honesty. This is time to face the truth so here I go... Looking through the woods I question every plant and every tree Searching for the answer that was promised to me. Then the full moon comes out and the wind whispers in my ear: "Ask for White Willow near the Silver Lake." The fire in my heart was burning like the flames of ancient times. White Willow with his knowledge opened up my eyes. The vision of the world I had before was based on a thousand lies. White Willow taught me how to live my life with truth. And there it stands, The only White Willow tree. He embraced me and he told me to gaze at the stars. The wise old tree twice spoke to me and he said: "Bring truth to the ones that you trust, And make them believe that I still exist." So he closed his eyes and I traveled back home. Back to my world, home I return: And the birds cry out, "The old king has died." With tears in my eyes I follow my heritage: Now I am to be new Elvenking. The fire in my heart was burning like the flames of ancient times. White Willow with his knowledge opened up my eyes. The vision of the world I had before was based on a thousand lies. White Willow taught me how to live my life with truth. Green power light was flowing down my eyes like waters from the falls. White Willow filled my heart with lore I now recall. The black horizons once I saw now turn to white as I pass by. And now I know why man can't bear to know the nature of the truth... [And there it stands, the only white willow tree.] [With golden leaves and a sweet old voice,] [He embraced me, hard as rock,] [And he told me, "Gaze at the stars."] In the light I still see, the only willow tree. I'm living on, the dream he shared with me. Sometimes I can still see, the good old speaking tree. His voice like ambrosia's flowing deep in me. Album: Heathenreel Year: 2001
