Elvenking - Under The Sign Of A Black Star Lyrics
Raised in the company of snakes
The parlance of a serpent
Born from the caring of a crow
The acuity of a bird of prey
And dear reason... back she crawls when the heart is battered"
A sad, sad song is tuned for me
A mess of words surrounded by dust
Conceived under the sign of a black star
Hurt and misery
Disruptive, ill-willed, inhumane
The look on all their faces
A freak of nature, soul condemned
"Enamoured by the likelihood of absolution
Eye lids opened just in time for execution"
A sad, sad song is tuned for me
A mess of words surrounded by dust
Conceived under the sign of a black star
Ruin and grime is all you'll see
"The first rune shows me life
The second love
The third rune is for mockery
The fourth for malice
And the fifth rune is... death"
"Look away don't hold your breath, they are deceiving
Look away don't hold your sighs, unleash your anguish"
A sad, sad song is tuned for me
A mess of words surrounded by dust
Conceived under the sign of a black star
Ruin and grime is all you'll see

Elvenking Under The Sign Of A Black Star Comments
one of my favourite song of the new album. elvenking always create masterpieces since the time of heatenreel (first album).
Doom on bastards!!
I really like the song, but for me the volume of the voice is not high enough. Instruments are louder, so the lyrics are hard to understand. :-(
I think that's because of the accent.
@Xenone None I don´t think it is the accent of him. If the volume is not set to a higher level in the studio, when they mix everything together, then thats what it makes him hard to understand.
Still my favorite band since highschool
Отменный фолк метал. Good band.
Great song amazing band. Hope a new tour soon!
Orgoglio del metal italiano, a mani basse proprio.
Cracking song
amazing!
Discovered this band lately and I'm excited. This is True metal, carry on Elvenking. I definitely looking forward to hear more :-)
Elvenking is back!! hell yeahh
Fantastic band, singer he always reminds me of the the band hell in the club voice sounds very alike.
not sure if this was sarcastic or not, but just in case it's not sarcastic: the singer of hell in the club IS the singer of elvenking. Same person.
@Somebody Else I thought it was, wasn't sure, saw him with hell the club few years ago
Neanche italiani sembrano..
My favorite song
Love it!
Listening to the song every freakin day, and can't wait to see you again tomorrow ❤️
Sempre enormi, spero che venga fuori un disco sul livello degli ultimi due
Rad track, elvenking still has it all these years later, I'm optimistic that this will be a good record.
they've learned nothing from the fiasco that was The Scythe, have they
What do you mean? Neither has this song much to do with The Scythe nor would it be a shame. Every Elvenking album is different and has a unique sound that is hard to compare to any other band. And this is only one song, so at least you should wait until the whole album is out.
Elvenking is great Ever .. Wait for this new album
I absolutely have always loved this band elvenking has really stepped up their games these last few albums ive really found me myself headbagning any time a tune of theirs comes on.
North America Tour please!!
That would be sick.
Please lmao we're dying over here
The sixth rune is .. my playlist!
Best rune!
I enjoyed it. 🤘
awesome!!!
Love the rhythmic guitar / video... Sweet!
Man this is excellent can't wait for the whole album
sounds good...
never clicked so fast!
Keep pagan, keep runereader, keep Elvenking!
Love you guys! Anxious for the new album
To all who criticize the Lyrics: I dont think they make no sense.. i dont get every detail, but basically it's about the dissolving of the body during the time of death and that the Soul will search for new manifestations. And maybe also that the human soul will never be able to find salvation because of negative longings so that your existence on earth is kind of a curse or at least you have to struggle with the problems that your ego set into the world.
that made me laugh for some reason
Elvenking will always be my favorite
bellísimo aaaaaaaaaaa <3
Great as always!
How many years has passed by and Elvenking is still one of the most powerful bands in metal world
Thousand years have passed and nothing gonna change :)
I liked it , but Michael Kiske never loose https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tx7EF65kzwc
I literally cannot stop listening to this song the whole day since you released it!
Can't wait for the album! \m/
Finalmente siete tornati, l'album sará una bomba, me lo sento 🤟
Bringing back the heaviness from "The Scythe", bellissimo!
How about no please?
exactly what I thought!
I think you mean emoness.
Fifth rune is.... BADASS
So many good releases lately! Gloryhammer, Twilight Force and now this!🤯
True ! I bought 'legends from beyond the galactic terrorvortex' by GloryHammer lately. Some fools still scream "Metal is dead" .. they don't know :-)
@Bernd Pfefferer And I Bought Dawn of the Dragonstar :D
Planning to Buy new Gloryhammer .... :D
And now Ive found this ... I think this is the best metal summer!!!! :D
You are best, I hope the whole album. I love them :*
It sounds great! It's a very good surprise because I suddenly read about the new album although i hadnt heard any announcement. I assumed that a new album will be released in 2020 or 2021 so i am really excited for the new album and its sound!
It's going to be released on August 30th! Amazing!
@Skogarmaidur yeah i can't wait :)
Excellent.. 🙂
Long life to folk metal!

August 30th: shut up and take my money
Lol Damna should work better on his lipsynching lol
Dead Man with Pitchfork Arms I thought so too at first but I believe it's actually just his vibrato.
YES!!!!
Fire King!
Very cool, it sounds like a single, but it still has some depth to it in the bridge.
This just BLEW ME THE EFF AWAY!😲
The lyrics are tasteless. They've peppered some lofty words here and there, but it makes no sense. It sounds pretentious. In terms of melody, they sound like a mediocre, "Harmony". But Harmony does it better.
a mess of words surrounded by dust
\m/ super brothers ->> (AFM Records)--> super band of great musicians super vocalist beautiful music rock metal heavy \m/
pretty good.
Niente male, niente male davvero!
Hmmm... great song, but I'll need some time to warm up to those lyrics...
A band that gets better with each release.
Not better but they are still according too they decent lvl
Elvenking Never dissapoints 👍
Sounds like a HITC's song with a little folk metal taste. Very catchy, I really enjoy it! ♡
Funny you say that since the vocalist for HITC is also the vocalist for this band!
And the fifth rune is........ death.
Man, I've loved you guys for a long time... but the lyrics don't fit. Some lyrics just contrast terribly with the part of the song they're at. Hope the rest of the album sounds better, because I'm rooting for you guys
Aydan told me this song is very different to the concept of the upcoming album. In his words "it will be one of the heaviest".
Gakoth what do you mean with " heaviest"? Zhe Song is not so heavy. Okey the part after the 2nd Chorus is cool but that was it
@Simon Evertz Aydan said this song is a different one on the general concept of the album. This song is very Hard Rock, but the album will be more heavier than this.
Gakoth this explain's much
Sempre sul pezzo questi ragazzi 💪🏻
hole metal other side VII
Awesome song! You guys are the best.
Sounds great, can't wait for the album!!!
