lyrics

Strapped tight – suspended
To Earth, Fire, Wind and Rain
About to start my journey
My mortal frame remains

Chorus:

I am the Shaman
I cross the boundaries of Death
But I will return
A Shaman’s song of agony and ecstasy
For wisdon I yearn

Bound tightly and helpless to the ARBOR INFELIX
The Tree of Woe and in the focus of elemental might
Creatures of Earth gorge themselves on this body
Fiery rays of the sun, rain and storm clear the mind…

Ancient wisdom lasts eternal
I roam the Planes up high’n below
I will live and die forever
I may go where noone goes
My heart will steadily beat the rhythm
Of lives past and lives to come
Universal knowledge gathered
Until all else is said and done

Choir:

To where I go, you can’t follow
Your spirit is bound to remain
But when I return from my journey
As a Healer I will ease your pain





Impressions
And visions
Subdue my pain
A Gateway of White Light
Is opening again

Repeat Chorus

Behold the stars pale and brightful
Gleaming in silence like the Earth Mother’s tears
Stigmata of light on a pitch black horizon
As a beacon to the Healer’s return…

Still the tree stands erect as Autumn’s leaves are falling
Flakes of snow are falling from the lowering sky
Witness the Gods in the dance of the flames
Nothing comes to an end when you’ll die

Repeat Choir & Chorus
