The carol of the old ones的歌詞如下:
O dark Lord, O dark Lord,
In the land of shadow I stand,
To sing your praise, O master dear,
And sing your song of old.
O ancient King, O master dear,
In the realm of night I stand,
To sing your praise, O master old,
And sing your carol of old.
And I will sing of things that are,
And things that were, and things that may be,
In the light of day forevermore,
I will sing in dreams that are free.
So when in my song I lift up my voice,
In my heart it shall be dark;
In my dreams the King of dreams I must greet
In my dreams where all things are real.
Underneath the endless night, so vast,
A throng of my brothers I see;
Their faces are worn and haggard, they speak not;
Yet they hear me singing low.
And in the dream I see their eyes grow bright,
And I hear a mighty sound;
It is not the sound of human feet,
But it is the wings of the wind.
And then my heart leaps up with joy and gladness,
As with courage unquenched they draw near,
I walk in my dreams where no harm can find me;
Underneath a throne of stars I recline.
