The Heartlands Cry Lyrics

In my slumber I saw an old man

He was reaching beyond the sky

And a teardrop rolled down his gray beard

The old one heard, the heartlands cry

There by the shoreline, the very last time

A breath of life, to carry on

And he knew his time had come

Now he wanders across the old lands

Bringer of sun and secret flame

But the woodlands, all cloaked in shadow

Hides the truth, this old man's play

There by the first light, he turned the dawn white

Far in the east horizon's sky

For a hidden grand design

The golden circle calls far in the gray

The old man stole it all away

Cut from my wounded hand, then gone astray

An age forgotten to this day

As we stood blinded, the horns were calling

The forest deep howled into life

And then the daybreak turned into morning

A wolf of war with fading eyes

These are the dark times, but not my last chance

The ring of power will betray

I will rise another day

I will rise another day
