lyrics

The Arcane Way

1. I came into the night forest, as if spellbound
Dome of trees and sleeping flowers are around.
I am the keeper of this woodland
(I hear a rustle nearby)
And I've already smelled your scent
(A-a-ah)

Bridge:
The cold light of the moon illuminates my way through the wood
I’m running like an arrow through the night to you.

Chorus 1:
I must be insane or just have a dream
The forest now comes to life and speaks to me
The wind brings voices of creatures and birds
And if I listen, I’ll hear the whisper of trees.

2. In the sweet song of the night oaks I hear some steps
From the dusk the beast’s eyes burn but I'm not scared.
Hello, child, I am Lord of the wolves
(The human soul and the wolf’s face)
Now I will take you into the heart of the wood
(Cherished place)

Bridge 2:
I’ve heard the call
I’ve heard it too
The spirits of the forest told me to meet you

Chorus 2:
I must be insane or just have a dream
On his back, the big white wolf is carrying me
He follows his own trails through the shrubs
And I know: there is no way back for me.

Bridge 3:
To a high rocky coast
My beast has rushed me
And I gasped when I looked
Down from the steep cliff.
The lake at the foot
Shone with a thousand colors
It called me by my name
And so I made the last step.

Bridge 4:
Your trails are still warm
In the maze of streets.
Where it stinks to heaven
From the gateways and the souls.
The chains of memories will break
But regrets will not be long
After all, these fetters
Just seem to be strong.

Chorus 3 and 4:
The dawn will come and bathe in dew.
The bands of grass will be twisted into braids
Larks weave a new finery from the golden rays
And dandelions fluff on sunny glades.

On the shore of a mysterious lake
Young mistress of the wild wood is still asleep
She sees a marvelous dream about another life
She once used to have in the recent foretime.

Elusive Reflections
by Persona

supported by 11 fans who also own “The Arcane Way”

It's a great blend of different metal genres and styles, with great solos in basically every song, just that touch of oriental influences that feel natural but not artificial and above all else, performed by the beautiful, haunting voice of Jelena Dobric, who uses it in a way that is not the typical operatic approach as we are used to from other female-fronted bands wormys_queue

Metamorphosis
by Persona

supported by 8 fans who also own “The Arcane Way”

Metamorphosis takes the musical artistry of this band to another level. It's not progressive,it's daring, as each musician in the band tries things they didn't try before. Obviously with Jelena adding death growls to her repertoire, but also with every song being it's own little universe but still fitting the concept of the album. This here is something you've probably never heard before. Oh, and I just can't pick a favorite song, because that changes everytime I listen to this great album. wormys_queue
