As Time Goes By
By: Dalar Elmwood


Ten thousand years of bliss,
In the forests of our ancestors,
At one with the tress, as ageless as us,
We answered the call to defend the land,
With the alliance we threw back the legion,
As time goes by.

chorus
For us time is now flowing,
Like a river that can’t be swayed,
With our lives no longer to control,
Our cherished immortality lost,
We are the night elves,
And this is or song.

Many of our kin fell in the struggle,
Like the leaves from our tress,
They burned our homes and sanctuaries,
Our land despoiled and laid bare,
A mortal existence was the reward,
As time goes by.

Chorus

A heavy price for peace we paid,
But like new trees we survive,
Nourished by hope and friends anew,
Our destiny is still ours to explore,
What was lost can be regained,
As time goes by.

Chorus

Our future is unknown,
Many trials yet to endure,
In great Teldrassil, and its tenders,
What was lost can be regained,
As time goes by, only time will tell,
We are the night elves,
And this was our song.
