"The Returning Race" lyrics - WIND ROSE

[Spoken Intro]
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 spirit's 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 are sinking in the dark While the woods are all around
All the roads become the same leaving memories behind

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 are sinking in the dark While the woods are all around
All the roads become the same leaving memories behind

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 are sinking in the dark While the woods are all around
All the roads become the same leaving memories behind

[Instrumental]

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 them 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

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 them sing along at night
When the horizon seems afar
There's a song that drives you on

In the woods
Like dancing shadows
We are bound, forever here
To the night's fire
Hey laye lalala hey la hey laye laye hey

The hearth is our haven
Where the shades awaken
Wardrums 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

[Instrumental]

[Interruption]
Hey! Hey! Hey!

[Interruption]
Hey! Hey! Hey!

[Instrumental]

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 (Hey! Hey! Hey!)

Erebor
We're bound for Erebor
We're heading to the solitary Erebor
We're bound for Erebor once more
We cannot be stopped by anyone

(No one will find us anymore)
No one will find us anymore
(No one will find us anymore)

(Our race will answer the call)
We're the dwarves of Erebor
(Our race will answer the call)

Through the forest the way seems to fade but we're still marching on

Erebor
We're bound for Erebor
We're heading to the solitary Erebor

Our destiny, engraved in our blood defies the unknown

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 them sing along at night
When the horizon seems afar
There's a song that drives you on

In the woods
Like dancing shadows
We are bound forever here
To the night's fire

Hey laye lalala hey la hey laye laye hey
The hearth is our haven, here the shades awaken
Wardrums 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

Deeper is the nightfall in Mirkwood forest
Where the forest roads lead us astray
The hearth is our haven
Where the shades awaken
Wardrums 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

Deeper is the nightfall in Mirkwood forest
Where the forest roads leads us astray
The hearth is our haven
Where the shades awaken
Wardrums 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

Deep within the core
Of the forest can be heard, an eerie spirit's song
Sealed from long before
Now awakened to devour the essence of our souls
