Pool of Life and the Gateway To Eternity

In a Highland Glen
On Scotland's west coast
A forest exists
Unknown to most
 
Nearest its centre
Locals say
There's a pool of life
Not seen to this day
 
On its north shore
Even greater than that
A Gateway to Eternity
To the future and back
 
Only one has passed
Through these eternity doors
A Highlander called Semaj
And his future droid
 
Stories are told
About the Butterfly Winged Elf's
Who stole the moon
To save their selves
 
For on that night
The forest did glow
A brilliant bright light
Saltire blue show
 
The Gateway to Eternity
And the Pool of Life
Came to the aid
Of mother earth that night
