Elvenking - Oakenshield Lyrics
Oh, pick up flutes and fiddles, a new tune is beginning
A melody forsaken, on the chords of our elders' song
Each note is telling a story, a fragment of existence
Oh, people ye who listen, sit down and hear the old man's story
That day the manor's tower is hiding a sun in agony
Filthy and soiled from head to feet, his sword was rusty and ruined
But in his eyes I caught a fleeting glimpse of his pride
He said...
Seven moons painted the skies before I reached for the chosen one
A travel through the starlit horizons, through the magic's way
On the path that leads us to knowledge, a light fall of rites
And believes from past forgotten times
A story that came from so many miles and years ago
The legend of the magic shield
The elf, the dwarf, the man who carries true faith deep within
Was known by everyone as Oakenshield
I didn't understand the words he said, the silence fell on the scene
A watercolour painted with a thousand shades of feels
A wooden shield tied on his back, the magic wisdom seed
From that day on
He told...
From the time when the ancients' glory rules us all, the shield has been
Passed hand in hand to the few, whose hearts are pure and bold
Made with the hardwood of Usdu'm, never
Decline his influence on character
Outstanding is the power of our will!
A story that came from so many miles and years ago
The legend of the magic shield
The elf, the dwarf, the man who carries true faith deep within
Was known by everyone as Oakenshield
Shield, from the sources of our depths
In the universal edge
Declining
Shield, from the wounds in your malice grains
Face up and take a contact with your inner fears
You will find a well of gloominess and humble damp
Make yourself a trace on walk, the power of become
The enchantment is the magic of being
Slowly fades the light, the story slips away
The old man's tired now: doze off!
Sleep well, keeper of the shield!
Mankind could never understand
The shield remains forever only as a:
A story that came from so many miles and years ago
The legend of the magic shield
The elf, the dwarf, the man who carries true faith deep within
Was known by everyone as Oakenshield

Is this about the Hobbit?
Fernando Alatorre maybe? I don’t know. Someone should ask Damna.
Very loosely I guess. It does mention a dwarf, an elf and that's it.
Update: I interviewed Damna, and he mentioned how big of an influence Tolkien was in the band’s early years, so yes, this song is a reference to Thorin.
Definitely see a difference between their recent album and this. Which I LOVE BOTH
