Ice Queen 03:13
Ice Queen From far away lands between mountains and white trees I can't stand the cold in my heart Who will set me free? Dancing in the snow Like a fairy from a tale I can feel it right now the cold is fading away What is awaiting for me? You came to me, you stared at me you melted away all my fears, my frozen tears I wish that someday I could make you feel the same you made me feel tonight My queen from far away snow lands "Everything in life has at least two points of view don't make a mistake, your life is the price , don't believe everything you see..." "A hunter and his pray, a lover and his maid...what's the difference? It depends on what you see..."

Heroes born dead Thinking and feeling Brilliantly for their time Maybe someday Somebody will understand… Most of the time Undermined by the majority Unable to demotivate Them through their strange ideas Running nonstop Although the winds blow hard Living nonstop Although their lives are against them Running nonstop Although the winds blow hard Fighting nonstop Even knowing the end. The flowers lie in their graves Dead and forgotten by their uselessness But the souls of these men Are beyond time And now, people can understand Heroes born dead.

The Lonely Warrior's fate Crossing a valley... All I can see are some trees and a hundred of men slayed by my legendary sword Not just for king's orders Not just for earning money I feel like this is the only thing that i'm good at... I saw you there How can I forget the moonlight in your eyes? Aren't you a myth? Valkyrie, May I be worthy of fight alongside you for all eternity? Valkyrie, could you be the one Who will free my soul of this misery The souls of the brave May have a chance to be saved The goddess of death Takes the chosen within her The greatest honor What every hero is waiting for To be chosen by you Is why I’ll die for

A kiss and a rose Look into my eyes And see your future inside What is awaiting for me At the end of this road I have always been afraid of losing things that I don't have those things that make me feel like I’m just what we are In the sky, in the wind I can see, I can feel that I’m not the one I knew it would finally come the day to make a choice you've always been the answer and this time... In the sky, in the wind I can see, I can feel that I’m not the one I knew it would finally come the day to make a choice you've always been the answer and this time... To see what I've always dreamed I'll do anything The only thing that means something to me To see in your eyes That you finally have what you can't have with me All I can leave you is this...

Puppet Girl 04:30
Puppet girl Sweet puppet girl Don’t go away from me Sleep under my nails Your strings belong to me Tonight I longed to see you Falling from your heart Come to me today Don’t cut the strings that hold me Tell me why I am your slave Tell me why I belong to you Tell me why I am your slave Tell me why I belong to you Underneath this sea of pain I felt nothing inside of me Sunk into my only you the only thing I need Now your dreams failed Your life is mine Now is time to see you in pain Your strings on fire, belong to me

My soul my life The moon is witness of our nights I never imagine your eyes; Beautiful loneliness Thousands of tears the stars cried Making the most beautiful rose Echoes from your voice Are my heartbeats, listen to them I saw in your eyes the hell I transformed it into love. In your eyes I see loneliness, my loneliness. I saw in your eyes the hell, Transformed it into love We are only one. I raise my glance towards the moon, And ask the gods a place between them It’s my wish to be with you, forever… Echoes from your heartbeats I will in your soul I will lift my dreams to the heaven, Your eyes glow in each of them

Dark Desires 06:09
Dark Desires Alone, for having committed a crime Lost in time My path to eternity Why?... my destiny. I’ve been searching till my last breath A way to warm my cold soul If only I knew where If I could find you . A body without a soul A spirit without a song A poet who has lost everything Why?... my destiny. But my life will last forever My pain will be with me until death I only need to warm my cold soul If only I could find you. Come and get me out Of the darkness where I am Take me to a place where my soul finds peace Come and get me out Of the darkness where I am And make me dream… away from here. Dark desires haunt my spirit And drown me into a deep ocean Take my fantasies and make them real Free my body from this hell.

Your own being Hearing thougths About how is supposed to be I resist the destruction of personal qualities Comes the night and in my eyes a new world is borning Poetry in action but they say it’s only rotation and translation A wolf is getting me nowhere drinking my blood killing myself Common sense Or good sense Social convenience or control system You just need to keep alive your own being kill the wolf of ignorance

We Change, or We Die That will take us to our own death And dig our own graves. Cus that will take us, together And we’ll be only one And now it seems there are no more ways to improve Cus we lack of freedom To decide for our lives Cause we allowed that other To do it for us Cause we feel fear in this time Cause we allowed that someone To do it for us and control our lives We change, or We Die. Waiting for a salvation Trying to find the guilty Of the sick Human situation While we do not realize That it’s a society That clings to hatred, greed and fear As a way of our own manipulation…

Unforgotten wishes Old ghosts from the past Their shadows in my head So many years have passed And now the wind blows again. Trying to go one Don’t look back this time Sleep on the silence Covered for an ice shell Let me hear your voice Feeding my deepest wishes Take this lonely soul Blow away my senses I can’t read your feelings Maybe they are not the same But I’ll climb this ancient mountain Only to see how deep I can fall. Like a grey feather Flying under the moonlight I’ll wait for the moment For the early years fantasy Let me hear your voice Feeding my deepest wishes Sing these sweetest notes Blow away my senses Take this lonely soul Erasing old visions Let me hear your voice

about

In symphonic metal, either you’re amazing or you’re forgettable. There is no in between. Edenbridge is one of the bands that seems to miss the mark with every album. While they have moments that make you think that they’ve finally got it, they end up pulling the rug out from underneath you. Then you have bands like Epica and Sirenia who keep getting better. I thought that Sirenia’s “Perils of the Deep Blue” was the ”be all, end all” for symphonic, female fronted metal. It looks like I was wrong. Coming out of absolutely nowhere, Elessär releases a masterpiece. Before I get started, I have to nerd-out for a second. Elessär is an elfstone that Aragorn is given in Lord of the Rings. It’s also the name given to Aragorn by the people of Minas Tirith. Enough of the nerd lesson. Saying that “Dark Desires” is a huge surprise is an understatement. If I said I’ve heard of this band before now, I’d be lying to you. I don’t know much about their history, but what I can tell you is that “Dark Desires” is Elessär’s first album and it’s incredible. If this album doesn’t get some recognition, there is something wrong with the world.
