Joy And Sorrow

(Verse 1) Ancient rites (beneath the boughs) With echoes of forgotten vows The ivy climbs, the ravens crow In the circle where the old ones know (Verse 2) Whispers of bark (trees so old) Their ancient souls, in leaves, they mold This rhythm wild, through time it's carved Now in the dance, the spirits starred (Chorus) Through joy and sorrow, They will always reside In the bittersweet echoes, the old stories never die (Verse 3) In the deep wood's heart (winds so cool) Where the shadows play by their own rule Whirls of green, they twist and bend To ancient tunes, the trees ascend (Verse 4) Echoes of roots (echoes down deep) Guiding the streams, secrets they keep The rustling leaves sing the time stood In the heart where once great elders stood (Chorus) Through joy and sorrow, They will always reside In the bittersweet echoes, the old stories never die (Verse 5) Druids circle ('neath the moon's bright gaze) The ancient stones, keeper of days In the silence, their chants arise Ancestral echoes beneath starry skies (Outro) Through joy and sorrow, They will always reside In the bittersweet echoes, the old stories never die [END] (Chorus) Through joy and sorrow, They will always reside In the bittersweet echoes, the old stories never die (Verse 5) Druids circle ('neath the moon's bright gaze) The ancient stones, keeper of days In the silence, their chants arise Ancestral echoes beneath starry skies (Outro) Through joy and sorrow, They will always reside In the bittersweet echoes, the old stories never die [END]
