Today is a song by my fave Folk Metal band. Elvenking is an amazing band to me, they are a huge influence as well. I remember the first song I heard by them was "The Scythe" and that song was amazing, the whole album is one of my fave albums. Damna is probably tied with my top fave vocalist, the different vocal tones he uses in his songs is always awesome to me. Anyways this song is from their first album and it is amazing. I love the mix of folk instrumentation in this song along with one of the best solos in my opinion. Also the female vocals in the song I really enjoy, and as always those amazing growls x3 enjoy~

lyrics:
Voice of Fall: Damnagoras
Summerplunge: Pauline Tacey
Spirit of Spring: Laura de Luca
Wintersoul: Jarpen


F: We're going to tell the tale of tales
Su: Are you sure? Or a little story of fancy
F: Seamen W: Dreamen F: Listen all!
W & Sp: The Fall begins his speech

F: So I bring rest upon the earth
Sp: With my seed, wealdcover all thy hearthstones
W: Soothing Su: Trimming W: Hum to sleep!
F & Su: The ornaments of wooodnotes!

(Su: Night surrounds, we're roaming through the

shades of forgotten fairytales)
Sp: Can you hear the rhymes of winds?
F: The chant of leaves that fall?
W: No, no don't let me fall! F: Be quiet you!
F & Sp: The renaissance of the seals

I rest...

Bridge:
I rest upon the riverbank, worshipper of my thrills
The crackling of the dead leaves counts the steps

that lead me to the sea

Chorus:
Listen to this rigmarole, wake up and follow
Undertone, along with me, it's just a hint murmuring sigh
Hushing the plains for miles it comes from nowhere
I'm aware of my communion, I'll dance from nightfall an' evermore

Su: Look, winter's cloak is numbing all
F: Don't be a fool, you're doing it out of spite!
(Sp: You're unfair!)
W: Whiten, now all is white
Su: But soon you'll pass away

Twitch and twirl, the Wintersoul whirled past us in silence

like a passing whim so...
Woke, reborn, a seed to be swallowed by the soil caressed

in morning's light veils

Twitch and twirl, the Wintersoul has passed dimensions so
Cruel, reborn, no more forlorn...dimensions so cruel


Bridge:
I rest upon the riverbank, worshipper of my thrills
The crackling of the dead leaves counts the steps

that lead me to the sea

Chorus:
Listen to this rigmarole, wake up and follow
Undertone, along with me, it's just a hint murmuring sigh
Hushing the plains for miles it comes from nowhere
I'm aware of my communion, I'll dance from nightfall an' evermore

Solo: Aydan

A piece of a dream, the feel of being part within!
Dream up your own temptation
A piece of a dream, the feel of being part of it!
Build up your own temptation for me!

Solos: Jarpen, Aydan

Cherished and mantled by the open sea
The waves, ebbs and flows are now singing with me
And soundless the sky frays over the land
While a million stars, watch over all men (x2)

While a million stars, watch over all men through the lands

Chorus (x2)

Night surrounds, we're roaming through the shades

of forgotten fairytales
We have told the tale of tales
I will rest upon the earth
The Wintersoul will pass away
