Behind the fading glow of the horizon line Where flame and ice melt into black And sun and moon unite Where drapes enwind so meek The olden mossy trees Across the mountains grey They glide into the falling night Human in their hearts But cursed they are To roam as swans in daylight Freed only by the evening star ♪ Unto the end of time The wild swans fly Into the fading sun Towards the burning sky ♪ Where enchanted woodlands whisper And the creeks fall steep Where cold winds blow in ardour And where the nightbirds weep ♪ Concealed the valley lies In which the six swans dwell Beyond the seven mountains Veiled by a vicious spell This deceitful magic To never be undone With every dawns awakening A feathered coat is spun ♪ Unto the end of time The wild swans fly Into the fading sun Towards the burning sky
