Amorphis - Shades Of Gray Lyrics






Mountain tops and red, red clouds
Aflame with flaring gold
Silhouetted against the eastern sky like a God
The trees now blue under the dusk…
The cooling flood of evening shade
The lights recede, the sounds subdue
Predators emerge from their caves

Grayness holds my mind at stake
And the lake’s golden mirror’s dim
The last rays fall into darker shade
The night coils around the day
Shadows turn the light into the shades of gray
The sun bades the world farewell

The queen of the night, her attire aglow
Before her beauty I, too bow
These nights I should fear
These lights I should not follow
This road to nowhere leads
I wander around in circles

Grayness holds my mind at stake
And the lake’s golden mirror’s dim
The last rays fall into darker shade
The night coils around the day
Shadows turn the light into the shades of gray
The sun bades the world farewell

The lights recede, the sounds subdue
Predators emerge from their caves

Grayness holds my mind at stake
And the lake’s golden mirror’s dim
The last rays fall into darker shade
The night coils around the day
Shadows turn the light into the shades of gray
The sun bades the world farewell
It controls my mind
And the lake’s golden mirror’s dim
The last rays fall into darker shade
The night chokes the day
Shadows turn the light into the shades of gray
The sun bades the world farewell

    Had this on 1.25 speed by accident, also sounded great!

    A.... R....

    +Jim Knopf BEGONE ELITIST!!!! Go be a crybaby in your mommy's basement please

  17. S.... ....

    Exactly what I thought

  18. D.... S....

    i want this CD '-'

  19. C.... K....

    What can I say but hell yeah!!!

  20. F.... R....

    amorphis = awesome

  21. M.... K....

    Isn't that the pure Amorphis? The essential, the roots of this band mixed with all best Amorphis musical highlights they have done until now!

    M.... K....

    I don't know.
    Tell me!

  22. T.... ....

    @battyroy666 It's called progressiveness within a song, should try that sometime =3

  23. I.... H....

    Amazing.....

  24. T.... P....

    Could this be considered a song about werevolves? hmm.

  25. D.... s....

    Los pelos de punta cuando toda la sala But corea este tema desde el 3:22

  26. A.... ....

    Simmer down poser.

  27. T.... K....

    Dream Theater, Ayreon, Heaven Shall Burn, myGrain also! :)

  28. M.... R....

    The vocals are great. Powerful and deep. Love this song.

  29. b.... ....

    children of bodom was this year too

  30. b.... ....

    whats that?

  31. b.... ....

    holy shit.. they are great

  32. A.... ....

    That chorus... I just love the beautiful pictures that are drawn in the lyrics, and combined with the vocals and the instrumentals, they really manage to bring me into a whole new world. Amazing <3

  33. A.... R....

    I listened to this song 50 times in a row one day just to have had that done.

  34. j.... r....

    That's the problem, he used it. The text is centered, but the circle itself isn't.

  35. T.... ....

    Great chorus and 03:22 !

  36. N.... B....

    Indeed \m/

  37. S.... S....

    im sorry.......... but the first thing that popped up on my mind was "50 shades of gray" when i saw the tittle ...... i just hope im not the only one

  38. s.... ....

    Would you have liked them to stereotypically slay a goat to make this more metal for you?

  39. J.... B....

    Hope they fired the asshole who can't use a simple center button.

  40. n.... ....

    i hate how the text isn't alinged with the circle

  41. c.... ....

    Agreed and new Motorhead as well

  42. �.... �....

    Шатура ВПЕРЁД!!!!!!!!

  43. I.... D....

    Don't forget Dark Tranquility!! ;)

  44. P.... ....

    Trendy title but great song, yes.

  45. b.... ....

    Great song, it's a pity they ruined it with that title just as Iron Man 3 ruined the Mandarin.

  46. V.... ....

    I see what you mean there. And I agree 8)

  47. J.... D....

    Don't forget that Omnium Gatherum already released an album this year (Feb. 22) and KSE (April 2), and also that Solution .45 and Motorhead will also be releasing new albums.
    If Opeth, Tool, Scar Symmetry, and Deicide were to release I'd probably have a heart attack from how perfect this year would be

  48. E.... W....

    This album is as good as my other favorite Skyforger, if not better!

  49. P.... H....

    Add to this list Dark Tranguillity. Apparently so is Dimmu Borgir, but haven't heard anything new

  50. c.... ....

    Megadeth, Jungle Rot, Behemoth, Evile and Immolation

  51. T.... ....

    What about Children of Bodom's too!!!!!

  52. I.... D....

    good album , good production

  53. J.... ....

    You forgot A7x and CoB

  54. V.... ....

    You're gona enjoy the rest of their albums. amazing band :)

  55. B.... D....

    Unfortunate the growls ruin it for you, fuckin makes the album for others though!

  56. p.... ....

    this is the kind of shades of gray that arouse me

  57. Z.... A....

    Don't forget Dark Tranquillity.

  58. C.... H....

    heavy as hell!!!!! love it.

  59. M.... T....

    My Home Towns Band Has FINALY made new band <3 Love you Tomi Joutsen and Amorphis From Finland in your Home Town Lohja :)

  60. T.... S....

    So far my favorite track on the new album!

  61. J.... P....

    for me the best singer in death metal, and i don´t dig amorphis that much

  62. J.... M....

    Jesus Christ, those are some deep and powerful growls!

  63. M.... ....

    beautiful

  64. e.... ....

    Queen of Entity and Symbol of Eternity

  65. O.... ....

    Fair Enough, I am a huge Amorphis fan as well, but I just feel that they are not without fault, like all of us

  66. A.... A....

    Fanboy here...agreed, FFTS was still listenable though.

  67. M.... M....

    And hypocrisy released 2 weeks ago :D

  68. r.... ....

    its not their best material, but its far from a stinker.

  69. s.... ....

    Guess who got to actually say hello to these guys today ^^

  70. �.... ....

    樓下胡說 明明就很好聽

  71. J.... L....

    i really want to like Amorphis, the music is great.. but that clean vocal completely ruin it for me.. what a shame

  72. O.... M....

    you mean an expensive year ;)

  73. O.... ....

    This sounds like the ramblings of a major fanboy... I dare you to listen to "Far From The Sun" again, its "Far From The Good", I love amorphis but they have had some stinkers, lets be honest

  74. P.... T....

    Sounds like Tomi's going for some higher range screams on this one! I love his deep growls and melodic cleans, but it's cool to hear him do more of a melodeath-style too.

  75. N.... V....

    HATS OFF!!!!!!!!!!!

  76. n.... ....

    .... those are the voices they have .... emo is metal core and alternative rock (new type)

  77. n.... ....

    how can real metal be emo any way ?
    melodic death metal , heavy metal ,death metal , metal , power-metal, are the perfect genders oh ya and Viking Metal and fol metal to are perfect and trash metal rest of genders suck

  78. n.... ....

    fukc you Amorphis should not change nothing "band change style - we don't like new style"
    change logo we dont like new logo and so on ....

  79. J.... S....

    Incorrect.

  80. M.... I....

    AMORPHIS !!! you need a new LOGO or at least new FONT STYLE!!!

  81. H.... ....

    I stand corrected... bade is correct "bades" is not...my bad..it was late cut me some slack ;)

  82. T.... ....

    Listening to the album right now, it's awesome

  83. P.... H....

    Tomi Joutsen's growling is only better than before :)

  84. A.... A....

    Best band ever, nothing they have ever released in their 20 plus years of recording has been anything less than awesome.

  85. A.... M....

    Cazzo, se è bella come canzone

  86. E.... S....

    Yeah, but they are pretty much unheard of in the USA...

  87. 1.... ....

    It's "Magic and mayhem" youtube.com/watch?v=dSliC1mdV54 , listen from 1.05. Shame on you, Amorphis!

  88. n.... ....

    you have a lot to discover then. try their other albums. they are all different =)

  89. j.... ....

    They are not underrated at all. They are HUGE in Finland and considered pioneers in metal.

  90. I.... A....

    That intro gave me a serious heart attack! O.O

  91. S.... ....

    top I love this band, understand it amorphis hardness and melody playing to bring it into harmony!!
    the disk is purchased

  92. b.... ....

    lol indeed. at least i know when to make music brutal and not sound like an emo pansy in the same song.

  93. A.... ....

    Oh man, Amorphis, Black Sabbath, Amon Amarth and Kalmah releasing new albums this year. Such a great year.

  94. J.... ....

    Try FInnish band called Diablo. Try songs Read my scars or Mimic47 or Preacher. Those are most "mainstream" songs. But if start to listen Finnish metal, you have to know what PERKELE! means.

  95. T.... ....

    Thats the way, i want to have Amorphis...

  96. r.... s....

    fucking awesome!!
