White Willow Lyrics - 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 color 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've always prayed, the ancients acting with pure honesty 

This is time to face the truth, so here I go 

Running 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 upon the 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 we traveled back home 

Back to my world, home I return 

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 upon the 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, 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
