Lost Forest's Ancient Chant

(dedicated to Mr.Esa-Pekka Salonen, a gifted conductor)

frozen zephyrs blow softly
grey leaves sway tenderly
dark flowers whisper suavely
anguished ravens dance smoothly

frozen rains pour continuously
grey cypresses shake gently
dark thorns grasp suddenly
anguished howls sing sadly

lost spirits
scream helplessly
lost feelings
scratch lonely memory

lost desires
mock at saviors
lost souls
ask for favors

boars crash undergrowth
they all quiet their breath
it is just before the midnight
headlamps give enough light

don't sleep away this night
we are right by your side
don't fall into magic spell
we fight with you until hell

hereux celui qui a pu penetrer
les causes secretes des choses

if pass bleakest moments
will reach brightest times
why can't these all be feel
as paradise without chill?

O fearless knights!
we follow your paths
O restless wanderers!
we hail your brave ways

lost loves
search for hope
lost minds
widen the scope

lost hearts
challenge destiny
lost moods
face bitter reality

anguished wolves run gently
dark smokes hug tightly
grey eyes stare intensely
frozen woods speak wisely

anguished deer walk slowly
dark mushrooms fly closely
grey flames crawl shockingly
frozen lagoons smile naively

(inspired by Jean Sibelius' Vesipisaroita and Villa Ainola)
