When Ancient Spirits Battled Lyrics - Singles - Darkwoods My Betrothed

The battle of the giants was raging 

The Earth tried to free from the Ice 

Who had taken her to his deadly embrace 

And shunned her from all light 

The Sun rose and set a million times 

In the southern horizon 

Before he felt pity for the Earth 

Decided to save his beloved one 

The warm rays of the Sun laid upon the Earth 

Ice began to melt - waters flow 

So withdrew the Ice northwards to a land 

Where aurora borealis glow 

In time were water dried 

Still was the Earth desolate 

No life, no growth but one tree 

Suffering of Ice's winds' hate 

Of the seeds of this lonely tree 

Grew a forest and another and another 

The landscape changed to blue and green 

Lakes and forests became brothers 

Although winters were cold 

The land survived and filled with life 

Wolves and bears wandered in woods 

Not threatened by spear or knife 

At a dawn on a hillside climbed a two-legged creature 

Wrapped in a hide and carrying a sharpened bone 

He watched the land and its beauty 

This was going to be his home.......
