Amorphis - The Four Wise Ones Lyrics
The nations search for treasure
And beasts rise from their tombs
Kings revel in triumph
All succumb to shadows in their own turn
The roses bloom and wither away
The winds lash, the leaves decay
All deaden to ice, covered by snow
See beyond the secrets of space
The four bearers of heaven
Gaze in all directions
The four wise ones stand their ground
Call the stars that shine in their skies
Gaze in all directions
The rivers rush, the lakes they gleam
When summer yields to autumn cold
Moments flee into oblivion
Fading to blue and turn into rime
The first cloaked in clement winds
The second with meadow-scented hair
The third who’s cold and grey
The fourth who carries the snow away
Sing, the beginning of our songs
Spin an end to all our stories
Sing, the beginning of our songs
And bring an end to all our stories
In Tuonela
See beyond the secrets of space
The four bearers of heaven
Gaze in all directions
The four wise ones stand their ground
Call the stars that shine in their skies
Gaze in all directions
Kings revel in triumph
All succumb to shadows in their own turn
Moments flee into oblivion
All succumb to shadows in their own turn

Amorphis The Four Wise Ones Comments
You'd think I'd be used to Amorphis' habit of blowing people away with their songs by now.
omg, I was still blown away by Four Wise Ones. One of their best. Keep it metal guys\m/\m/
0:48 1:58 просто улёт! Люблю эту команду!
The best part is Aleah
Amazing Song and Amazing Band
Amorphis the best!!!!!!! Tomi forever!!!!!!🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
The return of death metal 😍
Blackened vocals, wow!!! <3
Great song... pure fucking power.
Wait at 3:51 is that Marco from Nightwish???
They toured together, when this album came out. Marco even came out to play a song with Amorphis almost every night of the tour 😉
Helppo laulaa tollai örinällä
Koetappa ite, ja sitten vaihdat lennossa "puhtaaseen" ja takas niinku Tomi tekee. Jos et pysty
niin pidätkö sitten turpasi kiinni?
who's the one singing high pitch screams? doesn't sound like Joutsen at all.
It is him though.
This viking sound (2.14) in the background kill this song...
My most favorite song from them, right beside Nightbird's song.
Amorphis absolut cool
This song always breathes new life into me every time I listen to it! \m/
Lyrics:
The nations search for treasure
And beasts rise from their tombs
Kings revel in triumph
All succumb to shadows in their own turn
The fish spawn, the birds nest
The roses bloom and wither away
The winds lash, the leaves decay
All deaden to ice, covered by snow
See beyond the secrets of space
The four bearers of heaven
Gaze in all directions
The four wise ones stand their ground
Call the stars that shine in their skies
Gaze in all directions
The rivers rush, the lakes they gleam
When summer yields to autumn's cold
Moments flee into oblivion
Fading to blue and turn into rime
Moments flee into oblivion
The first cloaked in clement winds
The second with meadow-scented hair
The third who's cold and grey
The fourth who carries the snow away
Sing, the beginning of our songs
Spin an end to all our stories
Sing, the beginning of our songs
And bring an end to all our stories
In Tuonela
See beyond the secrets of space
The four bearers of heaven
Gaze in all directions
The four wise ones stand their ground
Call the stars that shine in their skies
Gaze in all directions
Kings revel in triumph
All succumb to shadows in their own turn
Moments flee into oblivion
All succumb to shadows in their own turn
Some parts of the song sounds like if Alexi Laiho from children of bodom been singing
Esta banda es grandiosa!
Y no se han vendido.
Unbelievable, life is unfair a band like amorphis with this music coming from heaven watched by a few hundred thousand and a bustard or bitch with music coming out of a pc are sitting with billions of likes and watches
I'm trying to figure it out if this song is about Norðri, Suðri, Austri and Vestri. Anyone knows if this its true?
None. Finnish mythology is almost entirely different from Northern Germanic myths other than some slight overlapping.

Wirklich eine geile Band....hab Sie schon Live als Vorband von Nightwish gesehen.......Hammer 🤘
Warum die keine riesen Hallen füllen? Die haben schon immer ihr Ding gemacht, Finnen halt^^ Ne ich denke sie sind in der Nische zufrieden, denn so klingt ja wirklich keine andere Band in dem Genre, gehören zu den Pionieren, haben schon viel ausprobiert und sind durch Tomi Joutsen endgültig bei sich angekommen. Ich denke es wäre ein leichtes für die Band Popalben ala Inflames zu produzieren. Das Gedüdel könnten sie mit links schreiben, aber ihnen scheint Integrität und die treue Fangemeinde einfach wichtiger zu sein.
So ist es. Kann leider keine Stehkonzerte mehr besuchen. Kaufe die Alben. Schön, dass es genug Leute gibt, die diese völlig unterbewertete Band am Leben erhalten.
Why is this album so good?
Tomi J. is like fine wine, he gets better with age.
Oh please gimme abreak with the brutal vocals, 22 years afterwards! Dont ruin your music.
2:54... Aleah Starbridge...
2:28-3:22 fuckin awesome
Voto por tour de Amorphis , Sudamerica, Tomi & Pasi,
not one of the better songs.....surprised to see a video for it.
seen them three times 98,99,00 and am disappointed that I missed them earlier this year when they were in town. damn next time I hope. they just keep getting better with age
sounds pretty fucking good... so thats that
i can't understand.. so few viewers... i think this is one of the best
Ultrabrutal!!!!
István Fodor kegyetlen jók!!!
Nice inks!
YEAH! And I saw the in Clifton Park, NY on March 9. Was standing like 3 feet from them .. right up in the front ... awesome band!
amorphis cool
Did Peter Tagtgren produce this? It's so Peter Tagtgren-ish
Nope. Jens Bogren did. If you're talking about the song itself.
Wicked video, love the song!
please someone tell me what's the song in the ending called !!
Death of a King
It's incredible but this band just gets better and better. All the Joutsen era albums are incredible and I'm ready to put Amorphis at the very top together with 80's Maiden as my favorite bands of all time.
Gorgeous song
@Slimbeast Pug, the higher pitched growls are also sung by Joutsen..
The nations search for treasure
And beasts rise from their tombs

The four wise ones stand their ground
Call the stars that shine in their skies

The rivers rush, the lakes they gleam
When summer yields to autumn cold

Fading to blue and turn into rime

what is wrong with the crowd? Everyone anaesthetised?
European crowds just have more respect than North American crowds and appreciate the music instead of just being obnoxious and moshing all the time.
nothing's wrong, they're just finns. when finns express that much of emotion, you know there has to be a storm of emotions going inside them =D
I don't know what is it about this song, but I like it the most of all the newer Amorphis stuff.
best song since elegy times
How can these people simply stand there without moving?? I don´t get it... when I saw them the crowd exploded...
Did Chrigel Glanzmann perform the backing vocals for this song?
NATHAN Kusisto I know I’m a year late but if I’m not mistaken, he played the flute for this song, I know he did for death of a king and tree of ages
and another beautiful song... this band is really amazing
But dear vocalist, why the hair dryer ?
For any headbanging-induced mishaps that may happen onstage.
Dark Path next please.
+1SecondToLight yes pleaseee !!
3:48 - 3:50 does anyone else see that or is it just me
searching for 3:48 in the comments..you are not alone! :)
hahaha. I caught it.
Are you talking about the guy with the tong out or Marco Hietala?
These pictures look like Prague's concert in december :o
I have all their 90's albums, but I think they need to town down the distortion a bit for a cleaner sound. It's just a big white/pink noise background for the actual song during most parts.
Mir unbegreiflich warum die noch immer nur vor 2-300 Leuten spielen und hier bis heute nicht wirklich populär sind.
Kaum eine andere Band hat mMn so einen qualitativ hochwertigen Output an Songs/Alben.
Da stimme ich zu. Amorphis hat nach ihrer Doom/Death Metal Ära, eine großartige Weiterentwicklung hingelegt.
Nachdem ich nach "Tales..." raus war, entdecke ich die Band, Jahre später, jetzt quasi neu und hole etliche Alben nach. Freue mich aufs neue Album... "Queen of Time"
Es gibt eine Biographie in Buchform, die immerhin bis 2016 geht.
@Ralf Raths
Danke für den Hinweis. Die werde ich mir wohl mal zulegen. Hab heute schon das neue Album bekommen. Einfach großartig!
Wir werden das ändern! Und arbeiten daran! ;)
Dss stimmt, zumal die doch schon seit zig Jahren gute Musik machen! Mein erstes Album von Amorphis war die Elegy und die war auch damals schon Hammer!
Haven't listened to Amorphis in quite some time because they somehow went into a direction that wasn't my cup of tea, but this song really makes me wanna check out their latest stuff. So I will. :)
FUUUUUUUCKKKKKK!!!!! This song is epic!!!!!!
who's that voice on 2:50 ?
+Apostolos Chionas , Aleah Liane Stanbridge, I guess, as in White Night.
+Adryael Krow thank you so much, I also did my own research.
the vocalist sounds like johan hegg when he growls :D (amon amarth)
Except he sounds much better
Their voices are quite different actually. Tomi has a deeper, more guttural tone while Johan tends to have more of a "roar". Both are incredible vocalists, but their voices don't quite match up. I've never heard anyone do what Tomi can do.
Kasey: Dan Swano, Mikael Akerfeld, and Peter Tartgren (in some Hypocrisy songs) did this style of monstrous yet understandable and pronounced growls for a long time. But Tomi is a fucking monster, a wonderful singer all around.
draganov do you have any song suggestions for the vocalists you mentioned?
Amorphis is progressive version of Amon Amarth.
Cool! Painkillers! Good!
Very good song, I love it!
marco hietala backstage getting ready for the nightwish show hehe
pure epicness
Great song!!
jävla vad tung den är.
Saw them in Budapest with Arch Enemy and Nightwish and all of them were amazing!
That must have been a hell of a show!
@MusicMakesYouBraver It was!
ladies (or guys, what do i mind) stop here 00:43 . You're welcome.
buena voz... buena banda!
класс
Awesome video for an awesome song from one of the best albums of 2015.
But seriously Tomi. I love you and all but TOO MANY CROTCH SHOTS!!!
this sound is elegant
Great Song! The Video is somehow confusing me. But the worse thing is the audiance (Nightwish?)
наконец то парни вернулись к своим корням и играют музыку за которую я их полюбил в 90х ))))
I like how they credit an entire human being for turning the video monochrome brown. Also, I was there and this song blew me away. It was great!
💪🍻
my first taste of this band was at wembley, see you again on the 18th at the fleece... #finnishrock
How tf does he manage to growl "sing the beginning of our songs" so fast? o.O
If you know how to growl decently (I don't), I can't imagine it'll be that hard.
Ruidoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!
Aguante el CAMBIO !!!!!

para que? . _.
Good tune
It's such a great song. Being a fan of Tales... and Elegy I really love this for being something new but staying true to where they originated from. But here is one thing: What is wrong with the crowd? For crying out loud, you're at an Amorphis concert. Show some headbanging, make a mosh-pit, go freakin' wild. Why is it nowadays that metal crowds are more often than not underperforming whilst the band on stage is at the top of their game? Just my two cents...
+andi Pawlique That wasn't an Amorphis headlining tour, actually. They were supporting Nightwish with Arch Enemy and were openers.
Amazing, thank you so much <3
Is this consider Melodic death metal?
+Benz Pantera P.Drive Yes.
+Ángya Norbert thanks mate for info.
sud american tour?
amsterdam
Amsterdamn? (enough for me)
yes and i'll be there
good song
I was there at wembley, these guys fucking rocked the place!
Turn the speed x2 , jump on 01:29 and listen Cannibal Corpse (or Catamenia) LOL :D
You guys are sooooo awesome !!!!! Keep going we love you!!!! Can't wait to see you in Romania :) ❤️❤️
Wow this sounds very much like Amon Amarth, and not only the vocals, the riffs is kinda typcial for Amon Amarth also. Great song anyway.
Best tune from the new disc. The camera work looks amazing!
атлична атлична тащемта
I love this song
Amon amarth influence?
Truly a masterpiece! Amorphis did it again!
I didn't know Tomi cut his dreads. Metal still kills.
+813lynch from what I know, it is just obligatory at certain time, as your hair continues to grow under the dreads and you can't just resize them(or so I believe, correct me if I'm wrong), and in the end you're left with like 30 cm of normal hair that then turns into dreads, which imo doesn't look the best.
gene harika be
