He was a child and saved his mother
Showing his courage to the others
He was so jealous of your rival
Zeus' son was a devil to him

Watching his training from the shadows
He emerged from darkeness
He was invited to train together
This is an insult forever

Train and get to my feet
He said to provoke him
With an arrow in the chest
He was no longer the best

He saw her and fell in love
And began a mad chase
When the arrow find his chest
He felt lost, no longer himself

Running from her stalker's eyes
The nymph let out pleading cries
Her beauty would be shed
She wants peace and rest

She was never yours
And never will be
He will never kiss her
She was free
How to live without my nymph?

And the gods hearding the prayer
The young girl was turning
Into a beautiful green tree
A Laurel now, she was finally free

She never said
She never wanted to stay
The world went gray
And there was her place
On the land
With the roots
Bound to the earth
