...to Ashes Songtext
von Norvhar

Now you understand, wayfarer, why this land is perilous.
Many lost souls from this awful
battle are still lurking here and there.

Shhhh, don′t say a word.
I know the question you're about to ask: Who am I?
I think by now you may have found the answer yourself, wayfarer.
Do you remember this young elf warrior?
During the battle, I heard a voice telling me to escape and save my
life in order to carry the traditions and the stories of this land,
of its people, of my people,
and all that for the sake of the Mystic Forest.
I′ve lived here ever since those terrible
times, waiting for the moment to share my legacy.


For many centuries, quietly, I've waited for a pure soul to meet.
And here you are, traveller.
I feel...
yes.
You are the one I've been waiting for all these years.
Take my hand, wayfarer, and receive my legacy.
Travel the world,
share my tale with others and turn it into a great legend.
Now my time has come.
The moment for which I′ve been waiting for many centuries.
It′s time for me to re-join my ancestors
beyond the great trees of the Mystic Forest.
Now, I go back to Mother Earth,
now I share my last breath with the perennial ones.
Now... I... Am... Free...

In western lands beneath the Sun the flowers may rise in
Spring, the trees may bud, the waters run, the merry finches sing.
Or there maybe 'tis cloudless night and swaying beeches
bear the Elven-stars as jewels white amid their branching hair.
Though here at journey′s end I lie in darkness buried deep,
beyond all towers strong and high, beyond all mountains steep,
above all shadows rides the Sun and Stars for ever dwell:
I will not say the Day is done, nor bid the Stars farewell."
