Belthemic Tales
This audio does not feature lyrics.
Deep within the snow-ridden lands of fictitious Belthemia, a community sleeps in forlorn shelters and wintered taverns, awaiting the glorious coming of Springer Dawn. Belthemic Tales tells this story of Belthemia's metamorphosis of Spring through its blossoming harmonies and wistful tales.
Original Text:
Belthemic Nights
Do you see the wintered trees, above the snow, all void of leaves?
Do you spy their winter coats, as bright as shiny pearls
Can you hear their winter song, of howling winds, of frosted skin?
Can you hear their winter solo arias ago
On top the hill, a tavern still, delivering drinkers from chill
In the bar, a winter bard, who tells his tales of knights and guards
Softly singing lullabies of Belthemic Nights
There he tells of legends bold, of boys and kings, of endless gold
Battles, wars, and fights of old, fought deep in the cold
The heroes, the men, their names unknown
Their caskets lay deep in the snow
There they stay, forgotten some, until the light of Springer Dawn
When the winter shadows stray from Belthemic Nights
Through the tavern, sun will shine, and smell of oranges, peach and lime,
When come light of Springer Dawn, the people'l sing their song
And the bard will tell his tales, of golden skies and nightingales
far throughout Belthemic lands, an echo will sound:
Glory! Glory! Spring has come!
Harbinging a newness and love,
Do you see the winter trees, above the snow, with frosted leaves,
Here they make their final sleep in Belthemic Nights
Springer Dawn
People are singing, their faces so bright
Springer Dawn's come with a newness of life
Here they are dancing in dewdrops of rain,
singing softly, softly,
rest shall their vigils when the sunlight, sunrise, cascades down lights, beams, and rays,
Children are frolicking, blue skies above
Springer Dawn's come with a closeness and love,
Here they are laughing, rejoicing their life,
singing softly, softly,
rest shall their frost-covered days,
