Road Goes Ever On Lyrics


Sorcerer:

Son, the day has come to choose your path | You are standing before the parting of ways | Soon the night is here and the time is right | Destiny is near, this is the day

Aelin:

I’ve decided to go on an eternal voyage | To ancient places beyond the light of day | My love to the waters is stronger than ever | I’ll sail the seas of damnation forever to stay

Sorcerer:

So step into the waters, if you believe | That your soul and spirit will be purified | You are a fool and forever to be | But death is easy to provide |

The silver moon went up high | Like birds do in the spring |The rain it fell like tears | While the sorcerer closed his eyes | Eagles flying across the mountain side | The wind moaning outside his hut | He often searched in wonder | Why Aelin chose that way

Sorcerer:

Road goes ever on over rock and under tree | By caves where never sun has shone | By streams that never find the sea | Over snow by winter sown and through the merry flowers | Over grass and over stone and under mountains in the moon

Aelin:

You Say the road goes ever on under cloud and under star | Yet feet that wander turn at last to home afar | Eyes that fire and sword have seen and horror in the halls of stone | Look at last on meadows green and trees they long have known

Sorcerer:

And the road for you my friend will go down below | The powers that I gave you have turned love in to hate | It isn’t hard for me to see that your death is near | You are all evil, I can’t change it, it’s too late

Aelin stood on top of a hill gazing through the seas | From the mist the sorcerer came and looked deep down in his eyes | He saw evil and coruption as the wind ripped their hair | Aelin spoke, pride in his voice | ”I will rule the seas when my spirit is free!”

Sorcerer:

So step into the waters, if you believe | That your soul and spirit will be purified | You are a fool and forever to be | But death is easy to provide

He prepared a boat, to take him away | To sail far and wide until his dying day | And as the spring came the caress of love | The moon went up high, enlighted his way | He set his course and sailed away | But strong emotions dragged him deep down | Now drifting to where he did live | An empty boat out in the night | And as he sailed the sorcerer cried | Out in the harbour alone that night | Everything calm and so the sea | A new day’s dawn, divine light | The sorcerer is wandering in the woods | A cold sea breeze and then oblivion...
