(Verse 1)
In the Alps where the mountains rise so high,
Lake Serenitas mirrors the sky,
Lives a woodsman, Elias Vorn by name,
Guarding the waters, wild and tame.

With his hound Fritz by his side so true,
Through the pinewoods, their tale grew,
In eighteen forty-five, the winds did call,
A guardian's duty o'er the lake did fall.

(Chorus)
Oh, the guardian of Serenitas, strong and wise,
With blue eyes reflecting the alpine skies,
Through storm and flood, he held the line,
A legend born where the mountains shine.

(Verse 2)
Bandits came with greed in their hearts,
Smoke on the ridge where the trouble starts,
Klaus, the leader, with a scar so deep,
Threatened the peace that Elias did keep.

"Leave this land", the woodsman said,
But the storm arose with a watery dread,
The lake swelled high, a flood so grand,
Elias led them safe with a steady hand.

(Chorus)
Oh, the guardian of Serenitas, strong and wise,
With blue eyes reflecting the alpine skies,
Through storm and flood, he held the line,
A legend born where the mountains shine.
