Dead Can Dance lyrics : "Tell Me About The Forest (You Once Called Home)"

Farewell now my sister
Up ahead there lies your road
And your conscience walks beside you

It's the best friend you will ever know
And the past is now your future
It bears witness to your soul

Make sure that the love you offer up
Does not fall on barren soil.


For the wind cries of late
In the whispering grass.
Our way of life is held

In the spinning wheels of chance.

I believe in the ways of an older law

When we used to dance to a different drum
And we are changing are ways
Yes we are taking on different roads

Tell me more about the forest
That you once called home.


For the wind cries of late
In the whispering leaves
And the sun will turn to waste

The heavens we build above.

Father teach your children

To treat our mother well
If we give her back her diamonds
She will offer up her pearl.


But I'm not bitter no I'm surviving
To face the world, to raise the future.

So why don't you tell me, come on and tell me
About the world you left behind.
Come on and tell me
