LYRICS歌詞
★WOODS ETERNAL
Forest green and trees entwined
withered trunks and branches bare
forest young in dancing rain
memories and wisdom rare
Oaks and elms and willows fare
all in different shape and form
some grow tall and some grow small
from an oak a leaf is torn
In the mornings golden light
hold me while the wild winds blow
hold me near and hold me tight
and sometimes let me go
Branches swaying in the wind
stretches up towards the sky
branches bowing to the earth
wondering what yonder lie
Some have shared too little soil
some others grew too bold
others broke in thunderstorms
or froze in wintry cold
In the mornings golden light
hold me while the wild wind blow
hold me near and hold me tight
and sometimes let me go
Lyrics: Janne Hansen
Music: Per Selør
★ROWAN'S SONG
In the beginning place
born of the morning mist
a unicorn in shining light
leaping through the air
Broken free of chains
of emerald blazing fire
lost beneath the sea
held by silvery wings
Tales of ancient times
by lakes of burning blue
fate, will and legends
mingles and comes true
In the beginning place
never to be touched again
near the faires edge
woods of green and gold
Longing to become
a creature of light
moving swiftly through the night
a moment of whispering time
Tales of ancient times
by lakes of burning blue
fate, will and legends
mingles and come true
Lyrics: Janne Hansen
Music: Per Selør
★ELEGY
Do not stand on my grave and weep
I am not there, I do not sleep
I am a thousand winds that blow
I am the diamonds glint on snow
I am the sunlight on ripened grain
I am the gentle autumn's rain
When you awaken in the morning's hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
of quiet birds in circled flight
I am the soft stars that shine at night
Do not stand on my grave and cry
I am not there, I did not die.

部分歌曲歌詞
★The Well
By an old drinking well on the grass so green
I lay down and fell into a dream
By a strange mellow sound from a silver eyed bird
I opened my eyes but said no word
On the pathway came walking a woman so bold
Behind her in silence went the old
Ahead ran the children with joyful cries
Their faces were lifted to the skies
The woman's hair was raven and black as the night
Covered with stars shining bright
As they passed by the well I saw that their eyes
Were flaming like many coloured ice
They passed by the well like a breeze pure and clean
Soon they were nowhere to be seen
When I woke up alone on the grass so green
I looked into the well to catch the dream
The water was rising and I felt a chill
I willed the water to be still
There was a face in the mirror like a face out of time
The eyes held a shimmery shine
There was a face in the mirror
and the face wasn't mine
The eyes held a shimmery shine
★Ocean Rose
She was a silent white rose
who lived in a tall iron tower
Barefoot she wandered in her room
dreaming of life and a lover
And in a night she threw a net
into the ocean wide and deep
And some of the things she caught in there
made her sad and made her weep
A fiery warmth embraced her heart
when sunrays caught her hair
And then she looked upon the world
her longing got hard to bear
She was locked in an iron tower
with windows but no doors to be found
Often she listened hard at night
for a voice in the ocean\'s sound
And voices was mingling with her own
waves were singing,flee the tower
By the stairway that takes you down
follow the ocean\'s song my flower
Silent the rose went down
she was shivering in the dark and the cold
Through in an opening in the wall
the ocean sang as fortold
Floating upon the warm blue sea
by the waves to a shore she was led
Among the trees red roses grow
and the white rose turned to red...
THE LAND
(Janne Hansen: lyrics & Per Selör: music)
from the SHINE DIÓN CD "WYN"
The sky is filled with crimson light,
bright with morning fire
When you're waking in the night,
stars will lit the dark
And you know you belong,
you belong to this land
Where the light ever changes the sky
The mountains resting on the land,
all blue and gazing down
When you are climbing to the top,
you make the world your own
And you know you belong,
you belong to this land
where mountains forever will stand
Hear the wind in the trees
and the laughing of the leaves
The sunlight is smiling gold
Hear the wind in the trees
and the laughing of the leaves
The land tells a tale of old
The woodland stretching far and wide,
a thousand shades of green
The trees are holding memories,
in an endless dream
And you know you belong,
you belong to this land
The land is the home of your song
