about

II: The guardian walks unscathed and unchallenged through the mighty heights of the ancient forests. His wandering leads him to a mountainside, where the trees begin to thin. It is here he gazes upon the vastness of the open night sky - a million lights blazing bright.

lyrics

The dusk gives way to the first of dread rays
And the morning mists rise high
The hungry and weak arise from pursuit
Deep in that fabled land.

His crown a mossy mass of grey;
An ancient one older than time.
Towering tall; silvery bulk a’flow
A tempest of all the world and all of its woes...

Rise up and take your throne
Power is yours alone to behold
Great old antlered one,
Protector of the realms of old.

No fear has ever pierced his breast.
For his foes have met none such as he.
Tall as the great old trees he treads.
His towering lands a'sway in peace.

What do you seek?
In all your long years, you’ve failed to see.

Rise up and take your throne-
Power is yours alone to behold.
Great old antlered one,
Protector of the realms of old...
