Goblin Hovel - Forests of Painted Bone Lyrics

A long time ago
Under cover of gloom
I held the hands of spirits
In their tombs
Now that world has gone away
And its creatures left no trace
To disturb the forest
In the nightwind's embrace

There will be wonders in the silence
And rest in the rain
The fire was dying
When upon the earth I was lain

I lost him somewhere in the woods
There he remained, burrowed in the mud
While my life began again in the clutch of skeletal roots
Where the wind sings a lullaby as if from a thousand goblin flutes

The shadows are gone
They have fled from the sun
But the trail that they blazed
Has only just begun
The small of wet leaves
And the sound of crackling fires
Have brought all my old ghosts
Back home to inspire
