Chaos isn't a pit Chaos is a ladder When time has beaten me The wind will pick me up And force me to the flame To thaw this bitter cold When time has done to me What gale has done to stone I will crack, and you will see The light of human soul If night falls, can you hold yourself? When the chains lay broken And the beasts have climbed out Our footfalls can be heard, and we are smelt Though the sky spans open We are shackled to the ground We are shackled to the ground We are shackled to the ground Taegen Let your roots envelop me And sing me a gentle song Stick to my wooden bones I'm held by elves' skin Raised the hairs that cover me And fed me pleasant poems Penned in crystal homes Time In turn The trees will drink their blood In thirst And keep to growing up Taegen Let your roots envelop me And sing me a gentle song Stick to my wooden bones I'm held by elves' skin Raised the hairs that cover me And fed me pleasant poems Penned in crystal homes
