Lay aside your wearying load
gathered in dark arreages, far from native land
Close your eyes and suspire
hear the well-known voices of your brotherhood
By the sight of the hilltops
By the mighty maple trees
In the shadows of the mountain chains
We stand, our blades glare in the sky
Not a twig has lost its charm
nor reveal its magic since I disappeared
Standing here among these rocks, smell the versant meadows
Truly, I'm home
By the sight of the hilltops
By the mighty maple trees
In the shadows of the mountain chains
We stand, our blades glare in the sky
On my way I counted every day went by
coming nearer to the hills of my birth
Moving faster as my heart calls to return
leading me to where i started before
Close your eyes and suspire
hear the well-known voices of your brotherhood
By the sight of the hilltops
By the mighty maple trees
In the shadows of the mountain chains
We stand, our blades glare in the sky
On my way I counted every day went by
coming nearer to the hills of my birth
Moving faster as my heart calls to return
leading me to where i started before
gathered in dark arreages, far from native land
Close your eyes and suspire
hear the well-known voices of your brotherhood
By the sight of the hilltops
By the mighty maple trees
In the shadows of the mountain chains
We stand, our blades glare in the sky
Not a twig has lost its charm
nor reveal its magic since I disappeared
Standing here among these rocks, smell the versant meadows
Truly, I'm home
By the sight of the hilltops
By the mighty maple trees
In the shadows of the mountain chains
We stand, our blades glare in the sky
On my way I counted every day went by
coming nearer to the hills of my birth
Moving faster as my heart calls to return
leading me to where i started before
Close your eyes and suspire
hear the well-known voices of your brotherhood
By the sight of the hilltops
By the mighty maple trees
In the shadows of the mountain chains
We stand, our blades glare in the sky
On my way I counted every day went by
coming nearer to the hills of my birth
Moving faster as my heart calls to return
