lyrics

An old king sits upon an oaken throne.
His posture noble, regardless of the toll of times.
Now weary, but once a mighty warrior.
Strong by form, just by heart.

For long he has ruled,
But now in an old age his mind wanders back to his youth.
He remembers the times of glory,
The adventurous days, the passionate nights.

He has sailed the myriad seas.
Fought the elements at the barren north.
Life's misfortunes were just new challenges
to experience and to learn from.

In his reign there was no blame,
nor did he evade his duties.
But to rule was never his passion,
though a task he had to honour.

The memories, although polished by passing time, hold a place in his heart.
He has lived a full life, and this he knows.
When his chapter ends he can rest free of earthly woes.

The old king sits upon an oaken throne.
A grin still visible on his weathered face.
When they come to carry him away
to a rest well-deserved

Nest Finland

Nest strives to capture the atmosphere of hidden pools amidst the woods, faint calls of owls echoing through the woods, sparkling waterfalls and vast snow covered landscapes - the solemnity, tranquility and brutality of nature.
