The Pine and the Rowan
Every word, written by AI.
[Intro - Soft acoustic guitar strumming with gentle wooden flute melody]
[Verse 1]
The pine and the rowan, when frosty winds blow,
Stand green through the shadows, across the white snow.
Though summer departs and the deciduous fall,
The evergreen guardian stands silent and tall.
[Refrain]
Oh, the light in the dark, and the life in the stone,
The cycle of earth is a kingdom reborn.
[Verse 2]
The berries of rowan are crimson and bright,
A spark in the forest through winter's deep night.
They whisper of spring when the ice turns to stream,
And hold in their branches the sleeping world's dream.
[Refrain]
Oh, the light in the dark, and the life in the stone,
The cycle of earth is a kingdom reborn.
[Instrumental Interlude - Fiddle and flute playing main melody]
[Verse 3]
When daylight grows briefest and shadows run long,
The woods keep their secrets and murmur their song.
For roots beneath snowdrifts are waiting to rise,
And life eternal never truly dies.
[Refrain]
Oh, the light in the dark, and the life in the stone,
The cycle of earth is a kingdom reborn.
[Outro]
Green in the winter, and gold in the sun,
The wheel keeps on turning, the circle is one.
[Flute fades out slowly with final guitar chord]
