Ensiferum - Hero In A Dream Lyrics






A witch read from the palm of his hand
that his life would turn into darkness
and alone he would face all demons
from his past that he tries to forget
An elder king warned of the dangers
that lie in the valleys of north and
his only chance was to find his shadow
so he had to set forth

He is the man who travels in the land
of dragons and magic spells
He rides in the winds of fire and snow
and he rules the forest of elves

Slash of the golden sword
a flash in the burning night
Curse of the evil lord
He is fighting for his life for the last time

Oh such beauty in time, but it's just external
He cannot see the truth with his eyes, so he is bound by a lie

The snow starts falling in paradise, as he gazes at the stars
He will be born again in the sky, when the night turns into a dawn

On the way to the ancient castle of time
he will soon be damned by rage
so that his pride could betray him
when it's time to set him free
The fears in his mind had to be pushed aside
as he walked through the gates
He will never die
'cause he is truly a Hero in a Dream

Ensiferum Hero In A Dream Comments
  1. �.... �....

    For me it was love from the first second in year around 2003 (i am devoted fan of folk metal and Ensiferum in particular)

  2. R.... ....

    And here it is, the best song of all time from the best album of all time.

  3. O.... S....

    The kick bass work always astounds me on this one

  4. C.... K....

    the aggressive, relentless drumlines and just gorgeous metal riffing...it makes my blood boil in like the best way

  5. P.... P....

    1:37 the riff I bike down steep gnarly hills without a helmet to.

  6. K.... R....

    Seeing them January 19th

  7. S.... D....

    Listening in 2019

  8. d.... g....

    cool very coooll

  9. h.... w....

    Norther is better , sorry

  10. d.... ....

    This gives me 20 pounds to my deadlift

  11. A.... G....

    Sounds sooooo much like Thyrfing.

  12. M.... ....

    omg this song is on the top of viking metal <3 magic speeellls

    M.... ....

    This isn't Viking Metal, it's Epic Folk Metal

    M.... ....

    @King Ragnar and you are smoking to much of these magic herbs

    M.... ....

    @MrWorewolf

    You're a poser, this is Epic Folk Metal, not Viking Metal. Graveland is Viking Metal

    M.... ....

    @King Ragnar your wife is Graveland when it comes to sex maybe :DDDDD don't involve me into this

    M.... ....

    Ensiferum is not viking metal.
    1) They come from Finland.
    2) Musically, viking metal have way more black influences than Ensiferum has. THryfing, ereb altor and bathroy can be labeled as " viking metal" musically.
    But this genre doesn't really make sense.

  13. C.... B....

    Can you believe this is their very first album? Such unworldly quality on a debut album!

    C.... B....

    They had a album in 1999 look it up. Very rare

    C.... B....

    Greg Jack That was just a demo:)

  14. s.... p....

    the best song from ensiferum

  15. b.... C....

    Lai lai hei?

  16. M.... M....

    this is the epitome of folk metal for me

    M.... M....

    Matt Majcan But it doesn't have old-fashioned instruments, like acoustic or wind instruments. I view this song as more melodic metal.

    M.... M....

    folk metal doesnt have to have folk instruments. the whole point is that it's metal with a folk influence - metal arrangement with folk-inspired melodies and themes, which is exactly what this is. what you're talking about is folk music...

    M.... M....

    @knickerbocker lolwut

    M.... M....

    This was my first folk metal song long ago so yeah, it feels the same to me.

    I hear inthelight on the folk instruments though. Was listening to some Hypocras earlier and the flute parts are amazing.

  17. M.... H....

    goosebumbs the size of basketballs!!!!

  18. T.... S....

    The Jungian Archetype

  19. T.... W....

    I swear this song gives me a + 20 to aggressive driving skills.

    T.... W....

    Pedal to the metal, ride before the wind!!!

    T.... W....

    Turgius Wolf the worst is when you headbang while driving XD

    T.... W....

    Try Steel Tormentor by Helloween

    T.... W....
