about

Chained into endless suffering, the Spirit of Life helplessly watches the Forest of Light plunged into a timeless and restless slumber, unable to move or wake the trees, fast asleep. In her distress she calls for help from her father, Adelmund, begging him to forgive the trees’ sinful behaviour and come back to his beloved valley to free it from evil.

lyrics

(Character: Deifilia, Spirit of time)

Father where is your hand
Where did you go
Where is your love
Loving you once were
Where is your heart
Why did you leave

Love is all we need
You said it too
You know it’s true
Come back to your lost child
Come back to love
Like you once did

Cruelly I have been chained
With bonds of hate
With chains of lies (with chains of lies)
The wolf took all I had
All that you gave me
It is now gone (it is now gone)

You who can give me life
Give me your love
Give me your strength (give me your strength)
You who can take or give
Take me my life
Don’t leave me here (don’t leave me)

Father where is your hand
Where did you go
Where is your love
Loving you once were
Where is your heart
Why did you leave

Love is all we need
You said it too
You know it’s true
Come back to your lost child
Come back to love
Like you once did

Dedrick took our land, away
The wolf stole all your sheep, Father!
How can you sit and just wait fire?
How can you watch without cringe, help us now!



Dedrick, laugh while you can still smile
Dedrick, you know when he comes, you are lost
Dedrick, enjoy your crown while you can
Dedrick, you know you lost all when you came in here rob

Fast asleep are the trees
They can’t move or call my name aloud
You have stolen all that wasn’t yours
You have stolen me, your time will come!

Father where is your hand
Where did you go
Where is your love
Loving you once were
Where is your heart
Why did you leave

Love is all we need
You said it too
You know it’s true
Come back to your lost child
Come back to love
Like you once did

Cruelly we have been chained
Fairies and trees
Flowers and bees (we have been chained)
We can’t break this spell
We cannot leave
We cannot hide (we cannot run)

You who gave us your life
Give us your love
Give us your strength (give us your love)
You who helped us so long
Come back to help now
Come back to love (come to love)

Father where is your hand
Where did you go
Where is your love
Loving you once were
Where is your heart
Why did you leave

Love is all we need
You said it too
You know it’s true
Come back to your lost child
Come back to love
Like you once did

Father hear our words
See our tears
Feel our despair
Father forgive us all
Forgive our sins
Forget our hate

We know we have been wrong
We know we lied
So many times
I ask for your forgiveness
Give us your hand
Give us your love
