It's dark on the mountain waiting for the sun, The devil is sleeping and the lord of the light is waking The dawn is slowly breaking Hella Kiellessa niovya lo He ana hella kielleya niova nya And the morning comes so brave and free!

There is a starry night outside, Let go the hands that you hold! They'll just imprison you till you are old, And you have just one moment more before the night takes you! Don't be afraid, there is nowhere you can fall But the power of the earth, the earth will hold you! ~ Wampum Song There could be living on this land! There could be peace for every man With a woman weaving him wampum By the light of the crimson sun. There could be singing beneath the sky! There could be joy that does not fly With the children teaching us wisdom By the wonder in their eyes. With the children teaching us wisdom By the wonder in their eyes. There could be living on this land! There could be peace for every man With a woman weaving him wampum By the light of the crimson sun Sweet wise woman weaving him wampum By the light of the crimson sun! ~ Nenya Three rings for the elven kings! Three rings for the elven kings! Three rings for the elven kings! Three rings for the elven kings! Three rings for the elven kings! Three rings for the elven kings! Three rings for the elven kings! Three rings for the elven kings! Three rings for the elven kings! Three rings for the elven kings! Three rings for the elven kings! They come from the darkness! Moriquendi! They come from the green lands! Laiquendi! They come from the clear light! Calaquendi! They are the makers! They are the makers! Of the earth and the wind and the light! Three rings for the elven kings under the sky! Three rings for the elven kings under the sky! Three rings for the elven kings under the sky! Wrought of star-fire! Makers of all things fair under the sky! Bearers of the silver flame that never dies! Mirrors of all things true whenever they lie! Wrought of star-fire! The strange light of the elven night shines on their faces A charmed breeze from the elven trees rustles the grasses Three rings for the elven kings under the sky! Wrought of star-fire! The light of the lady is on the land Fear the starlight hand! They are strangers from afar seen by the holy! They bring secrets of the stars to the lost and the lowly! Three rings for the elven kings under the sky! Wrought of star-fire! I've seen them in the darkest night They are the makers of the light Through wind and rain and storm they call me home. Ella kom ye la! I cried unto these ones I've wandered through the dark so long! I've waited through the night for the rising sun! They cried "We who of the earth are born Will lead you through the healing storm, It's time to follow the path of the ancient ones!" It's sunrise and high tide! In the blue endless space my eyes open wide There's a land I can see! There's a land I can see! There's a land I can see! ~ Land of the Sun There is a land I can see It's where I long to be! Where the rivers run swiftly And carry your soul to the farthest star. There is a land that I know Where I've lived long ago Oh! strong comes the voice of the wild-hearted lover Who is calling to me! He says there's a land of the sun! Where all men may come, Oh! it's not easy to win It can fade like the spring dew That runs through your hands. Come with me tonight! Now the young moon is bright, You can feel the earth spinning Down pathways of starlight that dazzle your sight There is a land I can see! WEAVER ------ Weaver! With your lovers loom, I have seen you by the light of the moon! Winking those eyes of green and gold Dancing, dancing, dancing! Dancing, dancing, dancing! Down the silver maze of the Milky Way And all across the heavens! Weaver! With your spindle of fire! I have seen you with the eyes of desire! Shadow and flame so rich and strange, Dancing, dancing, dancing! Dancing, dancing, dancing! Oh you move towards Orion's sword To your destination Alpha! Weaver! With your magical mind, I hear you calling from an unknown time, Spinning your light so clear and bright! Dancing, dancing, dancing! Dancing, dancing, dancing rain On the clusters of a starry brain Like a mirror of creation! Weaver! with your lover's loom, I have seen you by the light of the moon! Spinning your light so clear and bright! Dancing, dancing, dancing! Dancing, dancing, dancing! Down the silver maze of the Milky Way And all across the heavens! It's the night of the Hunter And there is no place to hide or run to! The spell of the moonlight Says a love supreme will find your heart this night!

Gonna be born, SONG OF THE BOW --------------- Mama told me "Never go walking Down by the wide and laughing water!" You may see him with his bow and arrow, He's seeking for the heart of the river daughter! He's seeking for the heart of the river daughter! Darkness is falling and the wild things are calling, The flames of the fire-flies are burning. Down among the trees Oh! won't you be a man to me! The earth for the sun it is yearning! The earth for the sun it is yearning! Mama told me "Never go walking Down by the wide and laughing water!" You may see him with his bow and arrow, He's seeking for the heart of the river daughter! He's seeking for the heart of the river daughter! There's a sound of a balalaika Coming through the trees! Somewhere in the shadow you're waiting! Man of the earth Oh! I'm down on my knees I wanna taste the fire and honey you're making! I wanna taste the fire and honey you're making! I wanna taste the fire and honey! Taste the fire and honey! I wanna taste the fire and honey! Wanna taste the fire and honey! Love me now the night is still And the wind cries "You'd better drink your fill While the fire and ice and honey's still flowing!" FIRE AND HONEY -------------- I can still feel the golden glow Like woodland fires and snowfall, Like the touch of an unknown hand Bringing bread to a starving man, Oh you are strong like this wine! Made from a warm, wild springtime Flowing like honey in my mind! Oh the night is young and fair, Oh there are revellers everywhere! But all I really want to do Is to be alone with you! For you are strong like this wine Made from a warm, wild springtime Flowing like honey in my mind! Like a homing bird at night You will be my guiding starlight And until we meet again I will be restless like this candle flame But the clouds are gone! Oh! Its a crystal spring dawn! Feels like the day that I was born! I was born! Its the sound of the sea, And the strong salt breeze, And the feel of the earth beneath my feet! Oh the light of the sun is healing me! SONG OF THE HEALER ------------------ We sail the rivers of the twilight sun We have no harbour when our fishing's done We have no home but that of the windy mountain, Follow the sun till the day is done And the moon's on fire! We had a king, Touched our eyes with healing! We wander barefoot on the sunset sand, The summer lingers on our master's hand, He is a man of love he is a man of wisdom Rising at dawn, keep the children warm With his cloak of honey! We had a king, Touched our eyes with healing! We had a king, Touched our eyes with healing! We sail the rivers of the twilight sun We have no harbour when our fishing's done We have no home but that of the windy mountain, Follow the sun till the day is done And the moon's on fire! We had a king, Touched our eyes with healing! /* We have no master now but the stormy ocean Wild and free like the man of the sea Who walked on the water We had a king, Touched our eyes with healing! This last half verse, appearing on the lyrics sheet, was actually never included in the song. */ MIRRORS ------- Oh, we are mirrors in the sun and we brightly shine We are singing and dancing in perfect time There is nothing in the world that we can do To stop the light of love come shining through And the fire of a newborn moment is shining round you Kiele aloha Hey, a perfect stranger, a feeling of you, Kiele aloha Hey, come be with me for we are, we are, we are We are perfect mirrors in the sun and we brightly shine We are singing and dancing in perfect time There is nothing in the world that we can do To stop the light of love come shining through And the fire of a golden light is shining round you Kiele aloha Hey, the wind is cold, and I long to hold you Kiele aloha Hey, come be with me for we are, we are, we are We are perfect mirrors in the sun and we brightly shine We are singing and dancing in perfect time There is nothing in the world that we can do To stop the light of love come shining through And the streets are filled with bells, and the sky was falling Kiele aloha There are so many things I long to tell you, can you here me calling Kiele aloha Hey, come be with me for we are, we are, we are We are perfect mirrors in the sun and we brightly shine We are singing and dancing in perfect time There is nothing in the world that we can do To stop the light of love come shining through We are mirrors in the sun and we brightly shine We are singing and dancing in perfect time There is nothing in the world that we can do To stop the light of love come shining through We are mirrors in the sun and we brightly shine We are singing and dancing in perfect time There is nothing in the world that we can do To stop the light of love come shining through
