Friend, have you seen the great swollen rivers?
Have you been to this place far beyond the mountain?
Have you slept where the owls watch and the old man shivers?
Have you drunk the water of the sacred fountain?
Friend, there's a strange and unsettling beast hiding out there
In the nighttime it spreads its wings and takes high flight
And you can feel his blue eyes staring at you everywhere
You can feel its constant presence, and it only feels all right
Friend, have you seen the great swollen rivers?
Have you been to this place far beyond the mountain?
Have you slept where the owls watch and the old man shivers?
Have you drunk the water of the sacred fountain?
