Eluveitie - The Somber Lay Lyrics






A murky presage roaming the land
To silence the skylarks chant
The somber kiss is at hand
To impart the crimson robe

Heed the darksome maid
Dancing across this equinox
To relegate persistence
As the bleak darkness grows

A cryptal impellent, devoted to the sublime round

Beholden for the boons of light
Retreating into quietness
We harken the somber lay
We sing the somber lay

Close your eyes and heed and vide
Then you shall see
The sphere revolves as it's promised

Flames flickering deftly
To banish the nipping air
The dark time is at hand
Lighted by bardic chant

Heed the darksome maid
To enwrap all in bleakness
A dark veil o'silence
As quiet insight buds

Darkness roaming the land
Long dead the skylarks chant
The dark vis usurped command
To impart the sallow robe

Sure a new light will come
The lifewheel is rotating onward
Given is the promise
Thus assertive we wear on

Life-given impellent, devoted to the sublime round

    I so much prefer Slania to any other following album. This is where I fell in love with Eluveitie!

    H.... ....

    +Krzysztof Witkowski me too !

    H.... ....

    While I love Slania, I would have to say that I prefer Evocation I. I hope Evocation II (coming out soonish) is similar to the first.

    I don't have Spirit, and am waiting on getting Everything Remains as it Never Was.

    H.... ....

    @EagleScoutmano I'd like to have their entire discography xd Do you know where to get "Spirit" or if is it better to get "The Early Years"?

  11. S.... ....

    Du celtic metal bien énergique, avec pour accompagnement (entre autres) une cornemuse, ce qui est plutôt inhabituel dans le genre.

    S.... ....

    c'est une reprise de joe cooley's reel

  12. N.... M....

    Боги мои, из-за этой песни и подсел на Eluveitie

  13. I.... S....

  19. o.... ....

    Remember, a grown man was maybe 150cm tall at this age XD

  20. L.... L....

    After a boring surf on youtube watching fail videos, I needed something to happen. Suddently, this song came te me, creating an intense feeling of .. warriorism. And at this moment, I left my computer, went to the bar, asked for a viking size mug of strong beer and I approach that cute, brown hair, dark elfe look like girl. That's how Eluveitie helped me that night to bring a girl at my place, which I consider in general to be a major quest. Love this song till that night..

  21. v.... ....

    You can just hear Dark Tranquillity in this. It´s incredibly similar. DT played this years before Eluveitie existed, they just added the folk influences

    v.... ....

    It's not a secret to anyone that Eluveitie is heavily influenced by Dark Tranquillity.

  22. Z.... ....

    Worry not; it means you've just becoming to be sane person, don't confuse it with being obsessed.

  23. H.... ....

    Sorry it is impossible to find a better band than Eluveitie!!

    H.... ....
