Elvenking - Invoking The Woodland Spirit Lyrics






This is an ode to the woodland spirit
The ghost of everything that was alive
Dried, deceased and turned to dust, by the curse of time
Twisted branched face and stag-like antlers
He walked this earth and he was not a lie
Passed, demised, martyred, put to death... the curse of man

Hounded, darkened and laid underneath
Wrecked and pulverized, he rots down beneath

By the light of a brighter moon
The wake of a rising boon - the woodlands awake
As we gaze up to the sky, the stars align and he lives forever
By the light of the brighter moon
The chant of a dismal tune - the woodlands awake
As the seers point at the signs, the stars align as we invoke his arrival

In a moment of the purest splendour
The father of us all now comes to life
Hush and mute the lies of Christ and the curse of man
Any by the power of the woodland spirit
All creatures will find peace and live through the night
Destined to find, awakening, and peace of mind

Hounded, darkened and laid underneath
Wrecked and pulverized, he rots down beneath

By the light of a brighter moon
The wake of a rising boon - the woodlands awake
As we gaze up to the sky, the stars align and he lives forever
By the light of the brighter moon
The chant of a dismal tune - the woodlands awake
As the seers point at the signs, the stars align as we invoke his arrival

Spiritus invocamus - the phantom of the wild
Sylvestris deus noster - spirit of the woods
The day of his arrival - tenebrae factae sunt
Sylvestris deus noster - spirit of the woods

Spiritus invocamus - the phantom of the wild
Sylvestris deus noster - spirit of the woods
The day of his arrival - tenebrae factae sunt
Sylvestris deus noster - spirit of the woods

Spirit of the woods

By the light of a brighter moon
The wake of a rising boon - the woodlands awake
As we gaze up to the sky, the stars align and he lives forever
By the light of the brighter moon
The chant of a dismal tune - the woodlands awake
As the seers point at the signs, the stars align as we invoke his arrival

  28. C.... M....

    Is the first time that I lsten to this band and I can say that I liked it since the begining of the song, is just amazing, I have a new favourite band.
    So I'd like to ask to you.
    Can you tell some album by Elvenking that I can listen??

    Pd: Sorry if my english isn't good I'm from México and I can't speak or write english perfectly...

    C.... M....

    Carlos Miguel Salas Hernandez Well, I’m a huge Elvenking fan so I’d say listen to them all! They have quite some diversity. Albums like Heathenreel, Wyrd and The Pagan Manifesto are all very folk/power metal-like while Red Silent Tides and Era have a more modern feel with some pop influences (especially Red Silent Tides). Then there’s the heavy oriented The Schyte and the all acoustic album Two Tragedy Poets. I have a hard time picking favorites but for me The Winter’s Wake actually takes the 1st place. Their new album is amazing as well. It’s like a mix of all their albums in one.

    C.... M....

    The Pagan Manifesto.

  29. M.... B....

    Epic. Simply epic! I'm so in love with their current album, especially with the first 3 tracks \m/

  30. M.... J....

    1:37 - Is that Kris Jenner?!?!?

  31. D.... P....

    Credo che per me sia il migliore, un po' indeciso tra Two Tragedy Poets e The Winter Wake

  32. A.... ....

  35. A.... D....

    My medicine. This album is the ves way for feel better when you are sick. I am trying to contact with they for make a special review with interview to Elvenking but I haven’t notice of the discographic company.

  36. E.... G....

  37. R.... B....

    ta mt fodaa o som

  38. V.... C....

    ¡Mierda! Esto es jodidamente hermoso /,,/

  39. I.... P....

    BEST SONG THIS YEAR!!!! THIS BAND PUT TAYLOR SWIFT TO SHAME BIG TIME!!!

    I.... P....

    Taylor what? Never heard of it. Is it one of those American screamo band things?

  40. J.... C....

    Estos es realmente maravilloso, Elvenking es de verdad una de las mejores bandas que conozco, Esto es realmente eqpico, melodico, fantastico y simplemente increible

  41. O.... R....

    Parece algo que debió y quiso hacer Mägo de Oz X,DD ;V

  42. y.... b....

    F A N T A S T I C I

  43. F.... J....

    Que puta buena canción

  44. M.... M....

    Elvenking aren't just folk metal. They are DRUID metal! \m/

  45. N.... ....

    Wow! These guys are back---finally! Great song!!!!!! And 1:51 mark-----WHO is she, good God

  46. S.... N....

    Why elvenking got new drummer?? Where symohn?? He is good drummer...

    S.... N....

    Symohn left

    S.... N....

    Helmer Tampongförtäraren .... why?? Where he going?

  47. S.... ....

    Little over 1 day untill release! :D

  48. V.... C....

    Dissonance of vocals and video. I thought it would be smth like Combichrist

    V.... C....

    Even with a name like Elvenking and a bunch of guys wearing Celtic-inspired warpaint?

  49. M.... ....

    Elvenking has always been a mix of folk and emo-ish power metal, which is what I love about them. That said I hope they made an acoustic song for this album too, I love those duets.

  50. D.... W....

    Best thing I've heard today!

  51. E.... A....

    Como los deseo que vengan a un concierto en Parque O'higgins. Ustedes y Whispered dejarian la caga.

  52. M.... H....

    Superbes variations

  53. U.... D....

    F*cking Epic!!

  54. t.... ....

    Great song! Though the video doesn't quite seem to fit it. I expected some, you know, woodland. :) Or spirits. :) Not a dungeon adventure.

  55. A.... ....

    This song reminds me of Moon Beam Stone Circle a lot. Great tune!

  56. T.... T....

    Jeff Hardy has a pretty good voice

  57. R.... A....

    Very Moonbeam stone circle'ish type of song tho.The structure of both song are very similar.

    R.... A....

    Rockman Arctica I noticed the same. Both are good songs nevertheless.

  58. C.... R....

    I have had this on repeat more than any other song in recent memory. Amazing.

  59. d.... e....

    Wow <3

  60. R.... K....

    Super 🤘

  61. L.... S....

    I haven't heard much from Elvenking during past 7 years. Well, it's not exactly how I remember their music (especially Damna's voice, something changed or is it just me? And there is this cinematic feel to it). But do I like it? Hell yea! I'd add more violin and flute to my taste, but it's good as it is.

    L.... S....

    About violin and other acustic folk efforts this album will not disappoint you!

    L.... S....

    It seems his voice has now a rck oriented approach mixed with old way; in one word I would say his voice sounds different indeed but more mature and warm, an able interpreter of emotions.

    L.... S....

    You should listen to The Pagan Manifesto. You'll get a lot of violin and flute in that one (and it's in my opinion their best work to date). This new one is also quite good!

    L.... S....

    I haven't listened to them since Winter wake came out. It's def not my cup of tea anymore, but this one sounds quite similar to their old stuff and brings back memories. (Tbh, would never have guessed they'd still be around)

    L.... S....

    I think Damna has gone to a voice coach. He has always had a good natural voice obviously but to me it sounds obvious he's had training before ERA album as high notes sound freer and better released now.

  62. D.... D....

    No words... Astonished

  63. M.... ....

    Quando esce???

  64. D.... C....

    great energy!! lm/ epic as the other songs!!!!, I love all your work!!

  65. y.... P....

    beautiful song!!!!!! ♥

  66. D.... K....

    Yes!!!! This is good

  67. J.... F....

    Their 2015 album wasn't very good in my opinion, but this one... AWESOME

    J.... F....

    Why? It was much better than anything else after Wyrd. And looks like this one goes in the same direction.

  68. s.... c....

    Gran bella canzone

  69. B.... B....

    Holy shit it's so good. The choirs.

  70. H.... N....

    Grandísimos!

  71. S.... B....

    this song is amazing!!! Looking forward to this release! great work guys :)

  72. M.... C....

    Masterpiece lml as always!

  73. C.... B....

    Fantastica ragazzi!!! Un incredibile preludio al nuovo album!! Non vedo l'ora... 🤘

  74. P.... G....

    Been an elvenking fan since heethenreel but I kind of miss the sycthe, two tragedy poets, red silent tides, and era times!!!! My 4 favorite elvenking albums!!! But this is awesome too...

    P.... G....

    Paul Galeana Heathenreel and red silent tides are my favorite but this sounds so much more promising than era imo.

    P.... G....

    Heathenreel, Wyrd, and Pagan Manifesto are my favorites, but yeah this is a fair bit better than era.

    P.... G....

    Yeah i can where youre coming from...well theire all awesome albums

  75. B.... ....

    Finaly! A catchy classic Elvenking track!

  76. L.... ....

    Dem chicks tho..

  77. m.... ....

    Great song! They should have include the epic symphonical intro from the album version as well!

    m.... ....

    Nooo! Hate to disagree on such an epic song, but I was glad they cut right to the meat on this one.

    m.... ....

    my daughter (one year and a half) sings everytime la la la la like the intro of this song! she recognizes and likes it.

  78. L.... G....

    wow, guys, you're really really great!! this videos is awesomeee !! :D I was exciting to listen to the new songs and album

  79. A.... L....

    Oh my god! Absolutely perfect! *_*

  80. r.... r....

    Excellent!!!!!

  81. M.... F....

    the song is nice, like your all, but what the hell is going on with the video?!

    M.... F....

    Gandalf fights with Vampire to set cute girl from the prison!

    M.... F....

    that was quite normal. whtat is going on with this grapes?

    M.... F....

    My thoughs exactly xD

    M.... F....

    DRUIDRY IS WHAT'S GOING ON!

  82. H.... M....

    My god Elvenking just get better and better, you think their latest album is the best and surely it can't get better than this, but then they do another album and BAM! 😍😍

  83. D.... A....

    Grandissimi ragazzi!

  84. W.... F....

    Ahhh... the ever so sweet sound of Elvish/druid metal

  85. B.... C....

    ohh carajo ¡ esto fue un orgasmo ¡ lml

    B.... C....

    xD y eso que es ?

    B.... C....

    Es un canal de metal buscarlo y apareces en el ultimo vídeo creo que se llama la nueva ola del folk metal

    B.... C....

    https://youtu.be/yiS022xHrmU

    B.... C....

    Es verdad xd

    B.... C....

    jaja si ¡ ya lo vi

  86. E.... R....

    When I saw the band and singer with the corpsepaint I expected black metal....not this....but this is faaaaaar from bad, I like it!!!

    E.... R....

    It's not corpsepaint, it's a sort of Celtic war paint (or some semblance of it, at least).

    E.... R....

    They do have some extreme elements in their sound, however. For example, check out the last minute of "The Voynich Manuscript," sounds just like Cradle of Filth. Actually, check out that entire song.

  87. I.... T....

    Gran banda

  88. J.... ....

    Es difícil... x.x Porque por una parte, la canción está genial, sensacional como siempre ELVENKING! \m/,
    Pero el vídeo uff!... mal xD podría haber salido sólo las escenas de la banda, o haber hecho más épico el vídeo mostrando un montaje en un bosque, más pagano medieval....

    Pero lo que cuenta es la música!! MASTERS ELVENKING!! \m/,

    J.... ....

    jaja ¡ creo que en este disco mejoraron demasiado ¡ si el video no te gusto mucho pues la melodia suena muy pero muy bien ¡ mi humilde opinión

  89. G.... M....

    Fantastic like 142
