Composed by Karl Jannuska & Lyrics by Sienna Dahlen

lyrics

Alerces (lyrics by Sienna Dahlen)

I have read of your history
You have seen it all
Three thousand years of memories
Permeate your walls
Your skin speaks of resistance
You’ve a weathered tone
We have grown through your presence
Planted seeds of hope

Facing inward inside of myself
Is this shadow my shelter?
Here your autumn replaces my spring
I long for the flowers
Your constellations speak foreign tongues
I am lost in translation
Alerces, Alerces, Alerces
Speak to me of patience

In your wind I hear memory
Many long goodbyes
In your sun I hear brilliance
Dancing on the tides
In your rain I hear chanting
Mourning those who’ve died
In your snow I hear silence
Falling out of time

Facing inward outside of myself
Is this shadow my shelter?
Here your autumn replaces my spring
I long for the flowers
Your constellations speak foreign tongues
I am lost in translation
Alerces, Alerces, Alerces
Sing to me of patience
