Watchful Elms Lyrics - Grim Skunk

Darkness slides it's unhealthy hand 

Through the lost and forgotten realms 

And the few and unfortunate to walk this land 

Stumble blind through the watchful elms 

As their heartbeats rise and their courage dies 

The hope to see down grows dim 

From behind each rise spring a pair of eyes 

And the whole of the night looks grim 

Cult of the river god awaken now 

For the sound disturbs your sleep 

What is this unsettling silence here 

What emerges from the deep 

Creep forth black mass of lizard things 

With your backs to the rising wind 

Black void howling enchanted things 

As the thunderclouds roll in 

The swamp starts spitting out profane delights 

With a shrill and a savage cry 

The rain picks up a most unholy song 

As lightning splits the sky 

Gotta find a mountain 

Gotta find a cave 

Some inner sanctuary 

Some more peaceful place 

Gotta shake this evil off my tail 

Leave this world forever 

And cover up my trail 

Take it easy, take it easy 

Close your frightened eyes and give your mind a chance to fly 

Let the fire in your belly out into the sky 

Sit with the gnomes at the end of the rainbow 

In the trees where the green goblins hang low 

And the leprechauns sit on their pot o'gold 

And the children of the eldritch never grow old 

Waiting for the daylight 

Standing at the break of dawn 

Standing in the twilight 

a fait longtemps, a fait longtemps que j'l'attends yeah (2x) 

Effoir l'ombre en attendant 

Que tout recommence calmement 

Patient children, patient children 

Waiting for the night to end
