Born Anew

I walk among the fallen now
My people scattered on the ground
The battle's done, the darkness fled
But all around me lie the dead
The forest folk who stood with me
Who fought to keep our homeland free
Their bodies still, their voices gone
But I will sing them one last song

I raise my hands into the sky
And pray their spirits never die

Rise within the green, my people
Let your souls become the trees
Let your spirits bloom as flowers
Dancing gently in the breeze
Rise within the forest's heart
You are not gone, just born anew
Live forever in this place
The land we fought and died to save for you

I kneel beside each fallen friend
And speak the words to help them blend
Their essence with the earth below
To let their energy still flow
I feel them stir beneath my hands
Their spirits answering my prayer
The forest opens up its heart
To hold them gently in its care

The magic flows from soul to seed
They're becoming what we need

Rise within the green, my brothers
Let your souls become the oaks
Let your laughter live as birdsong
Every morning when they spoke
Rise within the forest's soul
You will never truly fade away
Live eternal in this grove
The sacred home we fought to save today

I see them rising from the ground
Their spirits lifting all around
Becoming part of every leaf
Transforming death into belief
They're in the flowers, in the rain
They're free from suffering and pain
Forever part of nature's song
In the forest they belong

Rise within the green, my people
Now your souls become the trees
Now your spirits bloom forever
Living in each gentle breeze
Rise within the forest's heart
You are here, you'll never part
Live eternal in this place
The forest holds your sacred grace

I stand among the growing light
As spirits merge with earth tonight
Where bodies fell, now flowers grow
Their energy in every glow
I hear their voices in the wind
I feel them in the trees that bend
They're not gone, they've just transformed
Into the forest, safe and warm
The battle took their mortal form
But in the green they are reborn
Forever living in this land
Together, hand in nature's hand
