This album has been released on 12 December 2018.
Silver Lake
Dark Moor Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Which they want to see, across the valley of illusion
We'll have to climb the mountains of confusion
And challenge all the signs without breaking our union
The legend tells me that in this place
The ones who immerse in the Lake
Immortality will find
Run across the seas, find the brightness in the mist
Following the lane, you will reach the Silver Lake
Our journey is hard and the lake is far
We will never fall, in the strength we hold
Our journey is hard and the lake is far
We will never fall, in the strength we hold
Maybe we'll never dream in this endless time
You will never win if for your goals you don't fight
Although we're lost in the forest of sorrow
We'll try hard to cross the dry dune of the death
The legend tells me that in this place
The ones who immerse in the lake
Inmortality will find
Never ever die
Run across the seas, find the brightness in the mist
Following the lane, you will reach the Silver Lake
Our journey is hard and the lake is far
We will never fall, in the strength we hold
Our journey is hard and the lake is far
We will never fall, in the strength
The legend tells me that in this place
The ones who immerse in the lake
Inmortality will find
Never ever die
Run across the seas, find the brightness in the mist
Following the lane, you will reach the Silver Lake
Our journey is hard and the lake is far
We will never fall, in the strength we hold
Our journey is hard and the lake is far
We will never fall, in the strength we hold
