The Returning Race - Wind Rose

No way back, no way forth

To the forest you are bond

There’s no path ahead to follow

That shows the way out

No way back, no way forth

To the forest you are bound

Stay to the path and remember

That the trees are watching you

Deep within the core of the forest

Can be heard an eerie spirits' song

Sealed from long before, now awakened

To devour the essence of our souls

The song fills the void

Of a forest black and cold

Hard to see, hard to breathe

Hard is to march for the score

We’re sinking in the dark

While the woods are all around

All the roads become the same

Leaving memories behind

Feel the force coming from above

To the blazing dance of fire

Let it arise and surround you

To bring the journey on

Hear a voice calling from the trees

Let then sing along at night

When the horizon seems afar

There’s a song that drives you on

Tribal rhymes afar, gazes lost within the dark of the forest

Keep on echoing through the walls

Made of ancient trees surrounding

The circle of the fire

The fire is burning strong

More, the black begins to hide

Shades reflected on the stone

In the dwelling of the night

In the woods

Like dancing shadows

We are bound forever here

To the night’s fire

The hearth is our haven

Where the shades awaken

War drums are vibrating from a land far away

Deeper is the nightfall in Mirkwood Forest

Where the shadows hide the truth behind their veil

Long is the path of the returning race

Forced to deal with the fire in a cold embrace

Erebor

We’re bound for Erebor

We’re heading for the solitary Erebor

We’re bound for Erebor once more

We cannot be stopped by anyone

No one will find us anymore

Our race will answer the call

We’re the dwarves of Erebor

Through the forest the way seems to fade

But were still marching on

Our destiny, engraved in our blood

Defies the unknown

Deeper is the nightfall in Mirkwood Forest

Where the forest road leads us astray

The hearth is our haven

Where the shades awaken

War drums are vibrating from a land far away

Deeper is the nightfall in Mirkwood Forest

Where the shadows hide the truth behind their veil

Long is the path of the returning race

Forced to deal with the fire in a cold embrace
