Dark Hermit of the Wild

The forest speaks in silent tongues

Through ancient roots and silver moons

I walk where no straight road remains

Beneath the stars, beyond the names

The wind remembers every prayer

The ravens carry them somewhere

No temple walls, no golden throne

The wild has always been my home

Chorus

I am the Dark Hermit of the Wild

Child of shadow, child of light

Walking circles through the seasons

Guided by the moonlit night

Every stone and every river

Every flame and falling leaf

Whispers old forgotten secrets

Far beyond the reach of grief

The oak tree knows the passing years

The earth has tasted blood and tears

Yet every spring the world returns

From dying embers new life burns

The fox beneath the twilight sky

The hawk that watches from on high

They do not ask me who I am

They know me as the woodsman can

Chorus

I am the Dark Hermit of the Wild

Child of shadow, child of light

Walking circles through the seasons

Guided by the moonlit night

Every stone and every river

Every flame and falling leaf

Whispers old forgotten secrets

Far beyond the reach of grief

Bridge

No fear of darkness in my soul

The dark and light both make me whole

The wheel keeps turning, ever free

As it has through eternity

The moon above, the fire below

The hidden paths that few will know

I do not seek to rule or bind

I only seek the sacred wild

Final Chorus

I am the Dark Hermit of the Wild

Keeper of forgotten ways

Listening to forest heartbeats

Through the endless turning days

When my journey reaches silence

When my final road is done

I will rest beneath the branches

Still connected to the One

Outro

The forest speaks in silent tongues

And I still walk where magic runs...
