The Initiation Ritual Lyrics

The moon rises on the plain
Revealing the dark spikes far away
Wooden guardians with millenary foliage
Delimiting the black forest entry

Pouches filled and empty gourd
The druid apprentice completes his long journey
Passage required to beginning the ritual
Allowing the ascension to the order of warriors

Oh great Goddess
Born before time and before any existence
Here is one of your servants
Having braved a thousand trials
He comes to proclaim his allegiance
To you and your ancestral faith
Accept this initiate in the order of warriors
Like a son he will live
Like a druid he will die
Hear these songs rise
Sealing his path, forever

The forest has just chosen a new guardian
The festive spirit spreads beyond the branches
Dedicated protector, seasoned fighter
His future will take him to distant lands

No time to rest
Trees whispering a growing threat
A black spell ravaging the roots
The work of a scavenger wizard

Using land forces
Roots seize and paralyze the hooded man
Surprised by the appearance of the druid
No chance left to him
His bones break under the power of embrace
The corpse with amazed eyes lies on the dead leaves
Here is the first heroic act of the young druid
Which will be sung across mountains and valleys
