Track Insight / Lyrics
Velvet dusk descends upon the orchard glade
Frosty flakes caress the leaves in hushed parade
Second sun sinks beneath the treetops tall
A tarnished knight lays down his broadsword after all
His armor's dented, his steed long gone
Now he guards the blossoms 'neath the snow-crowned dawn
The orchard slumbers, bones of ancient boughs
Timeless and still, yet dreams of spring now grow
In secret chambers, seeds of life conceal
Hoping spring's warmth will make them real
Omods nocturiquum, forest's silent sentinel
Perhaps the night may whisper secrets you must kennel
Vigilant and still, your duty now complete
Guarding the slumbering beauty, 'neath the moon's pale light
Many moons have waxed and waned since dawn's last gleam
The knight's beard lengthens, his stories now a dream
But his resolve remains, his stalwart spine unbroken
For in this sacred grove, his final days need not be spoken
The orchard slumbers, bones of ancient boughs
Timeless and still, yet dreams of spring now grow
In secret chambers, seeds of life conceal
Hoping spring's warmth will make them real
Omods nocturiquum, forest's silent sentinel
Perhaps the night may whisper secrets you must kennel
Vigilant and still, your duty now complete
Guarding the slumbering beauty, 'neath the moon's pale light
If winter's icy grip begins to falter still
And spring's first blush of blossoms dares to spill
Perhaps this knight in armor will arise once more
To guide the new growth nurtured by the orchard floor
Guardian of the night, an unwavering post
Until the wind awakens and the world is lost
In vibrant colors of the burgeoning year
When you, brave sentinel, may finally shed your fear
Velvet dusk descends upon the orchard glade
Frosty flakes caress the leaves in hushed parade
