Down in this valley, lost and obscure

Rivers are peaceful and shallow

I came this way on a sunny, bright day

Confounded by traces I followed

Did they return or never die

Were they not touched by the years that went by

Once broken eyes with this mighty disguise

See what all wicked survived



Hide in the sunset - Silva Mea

Screams in the night - lost ancient light

One with this forest - Silva Mea

The candle of time I blew out, this is mine



Farther and farther within this woods

Bloom the most beautiful flowers

Steps make no sound on this velvety ground

Where life's not depending on hours

Onward they fly, cross clearest skies

Power and beauty of wild, pounding life

Eternally free, towards paradise flee

Escaping from mortal men's eyes



And when the light of eternity falls

Bright eyes will blink from the shadows

Safe in the arms of this magical warmth

Tranquillity roams through the meadows

Out of the haze there stands amazed

By sparkling and glistening shimmer embraced

The overwhelmed son with the wisdom to come

To tell where the children have gone
