Faster and faster the night’s getting darker We’re riding on the wings of wind Deep down in the forest the trees seem to whisper: “The midnight hour is closing in” Alone in the darkness Fear from every side No silence nor calmness We’re searching for light
They’re smiling and dancing right there in the thicket They’re cheerfully beckoning me Why don’t we stop here to play for a moment? They want us to join them, oh dad, can’t you see? My son don’t you look there! And don’t you believe! They’re trying to fool you! So don’t be deceived!
The Alder King is calling you tonight Don’t be afraid I want you to stay here by my side The Alder King is gonna teach you how to smile So come into my chambers Chambers of delight!
All I can see are the trees and the bushes But dad, look at this magic gleam! It’s only delusion, your fever is rising I almost can touch them, they can’t be unreal Calm down, see the light there Forget ‘bout the past You won’t ever come back You’re my son at last!
The Alder King is calling you tonight Don’t be afraid I want you to stay here by my side The Alder King is gonna teach you how to smile So come into my chambers Chambers of delight!
