Winter's Verge - Spring Of Life lyrics

Spring of Life I once heard a story, a young boy I was About living forever, free like the wolves A spring clothed in magic, where no man or beast Would suffer life's curse, every living being's dream The Rivers and mountains, the caves and the swamps A never ending journey, described in the map My dream is a myth, a legend a tale To find the source, life's secret unveiled This secret, this curse, this wonder, this lie A truth in the myth, or just in our minds Where words like forever, true meanings derive The purest of elements, the spring of life I set out to find it, no matter the cost Through forests and valleys, the dangers I crossed The dark was my enemy, the light was my foe But if the map was not real, this I don't know There deep in the forest, a cave was exposed The doorway was silver, the walls made of gold I walked down the pathway, with chills up my spine As there was the fountain, the gem of mankind This secret, this curse, this wonder, this lie A truth in the myth, or just in our minds Where words like forever, true meanings derive The purest of elements, the spring of life Before I would drink, a thought came to mind The fountain of blessing, or ash to my eyes Surely an honor, but think I did once As now at three hundred, this curse I entwine This secret, this curse, this wonder, this lie A truth in the myth, or just in our minds Where words like forever, true meanings derive The purest of elements, the spring of life
