The stillest night falls upon us here in a land of shifting grey And the waning moon is mourning a long-forgotten day This all we know, the only road As we disappear our voices are fading away Behind closed doors we are holding onto tales of our youth They are light for us in times that ignore what once was truth If this is all we are, our legacy Many years from now our stories will show them the way In the deepest hollow Where the river runs cold I hear the ancient tales From voices far away Listen to the echoes Of long-forgotten days From the great lakes of the Northland To the meadow, moor, and fen From the white fog in the autumn These stories live again From the shadows of the forest And the wind among the trees Hear this song of Hiawatha Warrior of centuries! In the silent valley The elder sits alone Haunts of nature, rush and reed Sweet he sings his song Of wayward souls and wilderness And carries me along From the rushing of the river To the rain-shower and the snow From the alders in the summer These legends live and grow Through the palisades of pine-trees And the melancholy glen From the lips of Nawadaha Hiawatha lives again! Searching blindly in the dark Where thorns and briars lie Over stone walls gray with moss Where only dead winds sigh Written on these weathered graves Words of broken heart Of the here and the hereafter Death has done us part By the thunder in the mountains O'er the savage ocean's tide Through the bleakness of the winter These words will be your guide In the light and in the darkness Ere the eagle spreads his wings Hear this song of Hiawatha Warrior and king of kings!
