Cernunnos
Waldkauz Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A strange wind blows
Singing of a change
For all world to behold
As I was wandering
Down to root and source
I glimpsed at deer abandoning
In damp moss and in rotten wood
I found the answer then
They spread out across the land
To establish the rule of nature again
Cernunnos, lord of deer,
Antlers like branches
And his claws like the trees.
Cernunnos is their master
And their message is clear.
The envoys of the forest,
They soon will be here.

Over the mountains
Beyond the visible borders, in the unknown distance
A strange wind blows
A eerie atmosphere looms, unsettling and daunting
Singing of a change
Signifying transformation, a new era to come
For all world to behold
For everyone to witness, experience and feel
As I was wandering
While exploring and searching
Down to root and source
Deep within origin and foundation
I glimpsed at deer abandoning
I caught sight of wild animals voluntarily leaving
The mighty forests court
The powerful and impressive woodlands' residence
In damp moss and in rotten wood
Within the decaying organic matter of the earth
I found the answer then
I discovered the solution and wisdom
They spread out across the land
They advanced and diffused throughout the territory
To establish the rule of nature again
To create and enforce the laws of the natural world
Cernunnos, lord of deer,
Cernunnos, the deity of the wild creatures,
Antlers like branches
With antlers resembling tree branches
And his claws like the trees.
With claws symbolizing the mightiness of trees
Cernunnos is their master
Cernunnos is their leader and superior
And their message is clear.
Their communication is unambiguous and distinct
The envoys of the forest,
The representatives and emissaries of the woodland
They soon will be here.
They will arrive shortly.
