"Silver Falls"

[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1]
[Ethereal, like water droplets]
Ancient columns rise in rows
Where the silver water flows
Hexagons of basalt dreams
Guard these misty ancient streams
Ferns unfurl in canyon shade
Where the forest's secrets laid

[Pre-Chorus]
Through the veil of falling rain
Nature's temple calls my name
Moss-draped maples bend and sway
While the waters find their way

[Chorus]
Ten falls singing to the stone
Tales that only time has known
Walking through the waterfall
Where the ancient spirits call
Silver Creek's eternal dance
Holds me in its misty trance

[Verse 2]
Deep beneath the forest crown
Where the waters tumble down
Hidden caves of volcanic art
Where the earth revealed its heart
Sword ferns whisper ancient lore
On this dampened forest floor

[Verse 3]
Morning mist embraces trees
Dancing with the canyon breeze
South Falls' curtain parts the sky
As the swifts and swallows fly
Nature's cathedral stands
Carved by time's eternal hands

[Bridge: Building intensity]
Layer upon layer of time
Where the waters carve sublime
Through the stories etched in stone
Nature's secrets shown alone
In the shadows of the falls
Where the winter canyon calls

[Verse 4]
Red vine maples catch the light
Where the Double Falls take flight
Crystal pools reflect the day
While the cedars gently sway
Every step reveals anew
Silver Creek's enchanted view

[Final Chorus: Full power]
Ten falls thunder through the green
Paint this prehistoric scene
Walking through the curtain's spray
Where the waters make their way
Silver magic never ends
As the river curves and bends

[Outro: Soft, ethereal]
Ancient columns touch the sky
While the silver waters fly...
