Elves

[Verse 1] By the black pine gate I saw your silver braid Under ash and cedar shade You would not meet my gaze My cloak was moonlit coal Yours was green and gold Two old worlds, side by side Trying not to fold [Pre-Chorus] But the river knows our names Even when we don't You and I were made From the same old note [Chorus] Dark elves, forest elves Hear that same call Dark elves, forest elves We can rise through it all Dark elves, forest elves Break the ancient wall Dark elves, forest elves We are more than bloodlines (more than bloodlines) [Verse 2] Your hands knew spring rain Mine knew night and flame You carried leaf and dawn I carried winter pain Still you shared your fire Still I shared my shade Two long roads in the dark Meeting where they made [Pre-Chorus] And the sky won't split us now Not the way it did When we learned to speak Like our hearts were kids [Chorus] Dark elves, forest elves Hear that same call Dark elves, forest elves We can rise through it all Dark elves, forest elves Break the ancient wall Dark elves, forest elves We are more than bloodlines (more than bloodlines) [Bridge] Lay your hand in mine Let the old fear die Even roots go deep Where the same stars lie [Final Chorus] Dark elves, forest elves Hear that same call Dark elves, forest elves We can rise through it all Dark elves, forest elves Break the ancient wall Dark elves, forest elves We are more than bloodlines (more than bloodlines)
