Under a Moonlit Sky-Slechtvalk

[00:04.26]Under a Moonlit Sky [00:07.44]by Slechtvalk [00:11.82]A gentle wind, that rustles the leaves, is whispering in my ear. [00:21.02]A bright moon gazes at me through the forest's canopy, lighting my path. [01:11.16]Wandering through the forest, I marvel at its beauty [01:20.36]All shades of moss, covering the grounds on which I softly tread [01:30.86]Sometimes I sense a wild animal staring in wonder at my appearance [01:41.26]And silently I watch them, wondering if they are aware of what's coming to them [02:12.71]But a strange unnatural noise in the distance startles the animal, and I see it speeding off. I softly weep, for I know that the days of comforting silence are gone. [02:31.62]Under a moonlit sky, I wander through the forest, marvelling at its beauty, the serenity, the natural silence [03:31.13]The sky is red with the burning fire of the trees [03:37.72]It makes me weep [03:41.11]I see some heavily mutilated animals, running towards me in panic [03:51.17]I am shocked at the selfishness of the men who thought of this destruction [04:01.34]Of the earth on which I was born and raised [04:10.86]Under a moonlit sky, I wander through the forest, a deathly silence around the scorched ghostlike trees [04:52.00]Even for the creatures of the wild, there is no escape from the wars which scorch the earth [05:01.04]Defeat will mean the final death of us all.
