Across the land lies secrets to be revealed


Here I walk 

on pathways so old, 

travellers of yesterday I still behold 

Hearken to the waves 
caressing the shore 
oh how much land have they seen before 

Oh, mountain great 
how much you must know 
so tell me stories from ages ago 
Oh, vast sea 
whom ships sailed upon, 
why did they sail and where are they gone? 

Behold the traces of history 
open your eyes and you'll see 
that all across the land lies 
secrets to be revealed 
The past still lives on 

Lost mariners 
who still sail the seas 
who were your children you no more would see? 
Earth, wind and water 
and burning sun, 
bring me back to when we lived as one

The Past Still Lives One - Falconer









Queria passar uma tarde conversando com a pessoa que escreveu essa letra - lá na Suécia, claro. As músicas do Falconer às vezes são repetitivas mas, poxa, as letras são muito profundas, além dos "sonsinhos" medievais. Gosto tanto que fico triste.
