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

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

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

O restless wanderers!
we hail your brave ways
lost loves
search for hope
lost minds
widen the scope
