Elderdawn - Covenant of Last Awake

She woke and the mirror
Said she was much too old

Autumn
reigned and leaves
were falling as lives lying in the ground
Just dying, lost ashes blown by the wind

With the morning came
the unveiled truth, the call of a new beginning

Memories
Took her to the lake,
where there’s only fog.
She remembered the old oak tree
where once they both engraved their love
a covenant through the years

I’m sure I’ll fall but I’ll
come back the day of your last wake.
Now cross the door
for a last time

Smell the cold breeze of morning
Don’t look back.
At last you’ll find a final rest for your bones

Just leave
your fears behind and cross
the forest alone
As she walks
through the grey time passed by her
as the ethereal takes its form

Invited
to follow him singing words of long ago
She knew that they would meet each other once again
She will be waiting for
the covenant of last awake

Can you hear the wind
whispering your name with chords of rage?
Can you feel the raindrops as spikes
falling on your faith
Come to me

Now I’m going to die. It’s my time
Where are you now?
You promised to share
Forever, my love
I don’t want to die
If you are not here by my side

Between (the) leaves, between (the) lives,
her heart stopped.
She was young again
and he was by her side

Now take a look for last time
And close your eyes for all.
Take my hand
I’ll take you to the eternal rest for your soul.
Forget your pain
The covenant of last wake

As the ethereal changed its form
together they started to walk
