[Verse 1]
In the arms of rimed soil
Lies the autumn's last withered leaf
Land now bare and naked
Awaits it's snowy sheet

[Pre-Chorus 1]
And as the light still lingers
Painting scarlet this barren scene
An old man sings his song
Of melancholy and relinquish

[Chorus]
I'm a whirl deep in dark waters
A stare in the shades of fir-trees
I'm riding above with north wind
Herding the black clouds of rain
Mine is the kingdom
Far from the moon to the sun
I am the elder
Standing forever as one

[Verse 2]
And in that sudden moment
When everything's turned to still
He abruptly breaks the silence
Becomes one with longing
[Pre-Chorus 2]
And singing ever stronger
Nature joins as one with him
Fire in his eyes
Universe under twisted grin

[Chorus]
I'm a whirl deep in dark waters
A stare in the shades of fir-trees
I'm riding above with north wind
Herding the black clouds of rain
Mine is the kingdom
Far from the moon to the sun
I am the elder
Standing forever as one

[Bridge]
I'm a whirl deep in dark waters
A stare in the shades of fir-trees
I'm riding above with north wind
Herding the black clouds of rain

[Chorus]
I'm a whirl deep in dark waters
A stare in the shades of fir-trees
I'm riding above with north wind
Herding the black clouds of rain
Mine is the kingdom
Far from the moon to the sun
I am the elder
Standing forever as one
