amorphis - light and shadow lyrics
[verse 1]
kneeling by the side of a stream
i bowed to the clear waters
shadows danced in the deep
sparkle of gold on the surface
the brook babbled and shone
as light and shadow slithered
[chorus]
i spread my arms and clenched my fists
i listened and i closed my eyes
to recognize the balance
i recalled the words of ancient seers
the council of the dead
the advice of the living
i raised my hands, unclenched my fists
thе shadow slithered away
[verse 2]
dazzling in its shining green
a living tree was drawn
with specks of light and strеaks of shadow
seizing the light in my hand
i weighed the shadow in another
heavy as a mountain they were
each lighter than a feather
[chorus]
i spread my arms and clenched my fists
i listened and i closed my eyes
to recognize the balance
i recalled the words of ancient seers
the council of the dead
the advice of the living
i raised my hands, unclenched my fists
the shadow slithered away
[guitar solo]
[bridge]
rising up to stand once more
so tiny under the great trees
i spied the treetops high above
the meander of their branches
[instrumental break]
[chorus]
i spread my arms and clenched my fists
i listened and i closed my eyes
to recognize the balance
i recalled the words of ancient seers
the council of the dead
the advice of the living
the light took wing and flew
the shadow slithered away
