To the Land Veiled in Mist

Pale sky now stands before me
leaves grey are dead
to the west
our light now must flee
In the gloomy night we shiver
our time has passed
say farewell to these shores
long here did we dwell

Flee from the dark hand
and the fading light
your time here is gone
the world you knew has changed
what once was green
now lies dead and cold
never will return
the good days of old

Grey waves now flow before me
longing my return
to the west
where night does not reign
golden flowers still there bloom
and majestic towers marked with runes
stand undefeated and eternal
beside mountains fair

Flee from the dark hand
and the fading light
your time here is gone
the world you knew has changed
what once was green
now lies dead and cold
never will return
the good days of old

With bright steel in hand
shielded by shining armour
to these eastern shores you rose
usurpers and self made kings
exiled by your ancient sins
hear now the howling winds

cursed by your pride
to everyone you lied
both pain and beauty sailed with you
against the dark lord you fought
yet more misery here you brought
leave now and never come back

For our days are ending and our years failing
I will pass the wide waters lonely sailing
Long are the waves on the Last Shore falling
Sweet are the voices in the Lost Isle calling

Pale sky now stands before me
leaves grey are dead
to the west
our light now must flee
In the gloomy night we shiver
our time has passed
say farewell to these eastern shores
long here did we dwell
Grey waves now flow before me
longing my return
to the west
where night does not reign
golden flowers still there bloom
and majestic towers marked with runes
stand undefeated and eternal
beside mountains fair
