Pallas - Spirits lyrics

The shaman lifts his eyes to see the glory of the sun A smoke-filled tear rolls down his cheek at what this land's become He sees the ghosts of trees stretch out within his mind How bright they burned before they died The shaman strains his ears for any living thing But all around is d**h though he can hear their spirits sing He climbs the hill-side turns his palms towards the sun To offer up a prayer for all that's gone I hear you now - so near, so far And through the mourning of the Earth I sense the wonder of rebirth I feel the wonder, I feel the wonder of rebirth And when the spirit comes to take them I'll be right there by their side And like the smoke-filled air, we'll rise to paradise We'll leave the world behind a blackened suicide And when tomorrow comes and the forest grows anew We'll watch new life undo the evil that men do For where the forest grows, that's where the future's sown
