Obruthion - The Unknown Knowledge lyrics
Your rating:
The day was bright and windy when he came down from the mountain [his robe swarming in the wind] He was old, yes sure he was, but this journey he must travel through [the ancient woods to the old cabin. It has been there longer than anyone could remember and always it has been abandoned and empty, but there he must now go even though he was so old.] He wasn't afraid, no, but something told him that this walk could be his last. He was a very wise man and had experienced more than anyone, but this was the first time when he felt a little bit fitful about what would come. He entered the deep woods later the same day. He hasn't been there for a long time, but he knew the place completely. The mystery of the forest enchanted him once again. The pure green colour of the trees and the wind whispering between them. [The light of the sun straining through these majestic oaks and pines. Each one of them telling their own story from years passed. The birds singing as beautifully as the everything around them. Despite the fact that all this beauty encircled him his mind was still pure and free from enticements.] Now he saw the cabin under a big tree that looked like it had been there from the beginning of time. It's branches were dry and the whole tree looked like dead. [He entered the cabin and started to look for the one he had came for. He found it lying on a table near the corner that had propably been a fireplace, but was now shattered.] The ancient writing was engraved on a stone that he now looked like it was a key to everything. Old legend says that the one who could understand it could stop the wars [and bring peace to the land] Only problem was that the writing was very easy to misunderstand [and if the wisdom of the stone was used wrong, then] it could bring disaster to the one who had commited the summoning. [He knew this all and was prepared for all that would come. So, he took the stone and hurried outside. Now he was in the forest again. It felt like it had known answers to every question that humanity could possibly ask. Perhaps it knew the destiny of this so selfconfident man who wished to bring peace to the land... He decided to stay in the sweetness of the forest for the night, so that he could counterweight for what could come if the summoning didn's work out correctly. But the forest started to live differently in the night. He knew about it, but hasn't experienced this ever before 'cause usually the forest protected the ones it knew and didn't want to disturb them. But now, however, he woke from his sleep and before him stood an owl. It looked him with it's big eyes sadly and the moon glowed over the woods. The owl got on it's wings and flied away and he understood that it wanted him to follow it. That was exactly what he did and soon he found himself in a wide place that was surounded with big rocks and on every rock there was the same writing that was on his so-precious stone. He believed that this place hadn't been seen often and he felt honoured to be one to visit there. Suddently he heard a whisper: "Dont take the stone... It would bring you nothing but harm... Believe these words... And if you are as wise as you pretend to be then return the stone." He replied: "But I can commit the summoning right. After I have done what I have to I will return it." And at the same time blood started to bleed from every stone.
