Emerald Forest And The Blackbird

Emerald Forest And The Blackbird - Swallow The Sun

Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah

My child I will bury you on the highest hill

Beside the tallest tree where winter will cover you

And build the biggest castle

There I will bury you from the arms of your mother

Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

Oh oh oh oh

Soon the angels will carry you over the edge of the world

Lead you through the deepest forest

Away from sickness into the light

Sleep my child lay down your head and leave this pain

I'll read your these last pages of the tale

To endless morning I'm cursed from here on

You will be taken I was meant to stay

The emerald forest was quiet

And the deep green of the diamond leaves

Was glimmering in the sky high tree tops

On the gentle wind tall as the mountains in the east

Echoes of the steps of giants

Were fading like the beat of your weak heart

Shades of night welcome you with a twisted smile

Slowly with every tiny breath

Hold my hand tight nothing will hurt you here

You are almost home my little angel I will lead you through

Night creatures unicorns and white owls

Treasures hidden in the emerald glow

Green light on the white altar and the black throne

Choirs of ancients blessing your passage to the world below

Oh

The path through the woods was getting narrow

And the aisle of trees shaded the last light of the moon

But the light from the candles on the bridge across the water

Lit the way from emerald steps marking our trail deeper

Yeah

This is the frontier as far as I can pass

But the calling of the blackbird will lead you on from here

Every tear will turn to an emerald in this forest

And this is where it ends the cry turns to laughter my son

You will be taken I was meant to stay my loved one
