The Elvenwell (I Can Give You...) - Coronatus

A lady with an elven skin

Came brisk and bright in my darkest dream

«I make a deal with you,"she said

«If you show me the mud god made men of.»

For I can give you, I can give

All the things you lost, all the things you miss

I can give you, I can give

Heaven gifts and hells darkest wishes

She held the silence in her hands

Then she gave me to drink from the golden well

So gracefully and strong she was

Lulled me asleep in yonder grass

For I can give you, I can give

All the things you lost, all the things you miss

I can give you, I can give

Heaven gifts and hells darkest wishes

So she took me, so I went

On a carriage of ivory

Through mist and rain, to distant islands

Hearing her sing

For I can give you, I can give

All the things you lost, all the things you miss

I can give you, I can give

Heaven gifts and hells darkest wishes

Seven years and seven days, my heart, asleep

My chest in her white hands, alive, alive

She held me, but my fear remained

So I returned to the muddy well

To find friends and family buried and gone

For I can give you, I can give

All the things you lost, all the things you miss

I can give you, I can give

Heaven gifts and hells darkest wishes
