lyrics

Beneath the Swaying Fronds of Elysian Fields

On the brightest flame you have scattered the incense
And honoured the dead with blood given back to the earth
You have dreamed of rolling hills through a frame of fire
A path through fields of grain and spikes beneath the sun rays

This is the road back home, this is the end of dust
No time is left for doubts or prayers to gods
Cause much you have seen and much has been sold
This is your last journey on earth so close your eyes

Then you can almost see the swaying fronds of Elysian Fields
And touch the fresh grass and feel on your face the Zephyr breeze
Beneath the swaying fronds of Elysian Fields

There’s no blood to pour on this land
No hunger and cold, nor sickness or famine
No farewells and tears to hold
Your lips will be forever kissed by the morning dew
And you won’t have any memory of the fear of death

Then you can almost see the swaying fronds of elysian fields
In the Zephyr breeze that blows from the west to the east
And you have dreamed of rolling hills through a frame of fire
A path through fields of grain and spikes beneath the sun rays

So please wait for me at the gates of Elysian Fields
It has been told, come back with it or on your shield

And I finally see the swaying fronds of Elysian Fields
So, I can rest forever in death’s arms in peace
Beneath the swaying fronds of Elysian Fields

“There is no Death! What seems so is transition
This is life of mortal breath
Is but a suburb of the life elysian
Whose portal we call Death.”
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
