Ensiferum - The Longest Journey (Heathen Throne Part II) Lyrics

2:30 - 3:15 completes my soul

This stuff is so good

The last GOOD Ensiferum album... Unfortunately...

Today is my birthday, jan 5th same day this song was uploaded
Hail Metal my eternal gift \m/

If there will be a war in my country i will go, but i will throw the gun what they would gave me and ill take a real sword.... and ill die... i know... but with honor. Sry about my english :P

Powerful, majestic Metal! I love this track!

Wow! My beard has grown by three feet whilst listening to that!!!

Your mental power lvled up by few million :]

This is just Epic!!

And suddenly, YouTube recommended this to me

Tad late but question is, do you like it? I'd suggest listening to their Wanderer song too if you liked it. I have almost all the albums on my mobile as I love this band.

@shaggy Hey! Sorry for the late answer, I love it, actually. I'm not that much into growling singing though, but I really like norse music.
If you know other bands like this, please tell me! :)

@Joshé Martínez hammerfall lol

@shaggy thanks

@Joshé Martínez May be you tube gots tired of you listening too much justin beaver s music xD

best song ever made no doubt !

This song is about finns not vikings

The Vikings went to England France North America etc because they couldn't touch the wandering man aka Finns.

The land of the giants, Finland, Jotunheim for the ones who know north only by hollywood

@Vilgeirr Lackoin Norse mythology was really close to Hellenic one : Jötnar = Titans

@Roid Rage not how it is taught up north... :O
Pretty similar in some ways but totally different in depths

@Roid Rage both are Indo European. Its no surprise that they are similar

,, The longest journey of them all, has to be made all alone."

Beheror you nailed it. That is the message. How will you face death? As a coward or hero?

I don't know why but Finnish sometimes sounds like Malay except for the V sound which does not exist in Malay.

Probably they wandered in your area in the past as they surely came from Asian continent, as well as the Hungarians and other tribes of ugro-finnish speakers

@Jure Dakić Pure BS, that one. The Finns did not come from Asia, and neither did any other Uralic language speakers in Europe. The Finns are genetically the closest living people to the very oldest European populace, which means you literally won't find a more european-rooted people on the planet. The Finns (and Estonians for that matter) are a historically isolated people that split off from the same bunch of ancient settlers who also became the Germanic peoples, which is why Finns share about 90% genetic similarity with the various Germanic nations. The Finnish language also, even though it did originally come from further east, was still from the western side of the Ural mountains, in other words, *not* from Asia.

Wrong..

@Heavy Metal Attack No, the Finns came originally from the south, through Estonia. There's only about 2-5% siberian ancestry in Finland, and that's because the Sámi people used to live in most of the country.

Even the names "Finn" and "Finland" used to only refer to the people and area in the southwestern tip of Finland, in the vicinity of Åland. Genetic research clearly shows the origins of the Finns are in Europe.

They removed this and most of the album from iTunes. No clue why. Can’t listen to it there anymore.

Just purchase the original cds, best case directly from the band (website, whatever), or at least directly from their label..

check this out I think you gonna love it! Tumman Virran Taa Remix Version:

That intro just set the whole song off! Powerful!! 🤘🤘

I've been listening to different kinds of metal since 2012, but... This is the best metal song I've heard so far.

7:44 Rains of Castamere from GOT.

Awesome ! never bettered !

My sensei led me here lol

I want to die to this song

no problem just come over we play this song on repeat and fight with swords until we die that would be a worthy death or we just fight and start drinking like there is no tomorow

ᛒᛖᚱᛊᛖᚱᚲᛖᚱ Same brother

You will go to Valhalla 🍺

Takk folk

When Ensiferum screams at me not to be afraid... my fears just melt away.

Fucking goosebumps.

Matheus Cruz yes

The Initial chant translated to English.

English translation: (translated by "Varjaagi"):
Above the grey wilderness the ravens sing
The blood of this people melts the frost
Behold the glow of the vault of heavens
It calls us beyond the dark stream
Weaklings fall into the froth of the stream
as heroes land on the shores of the river
across eternity the song can be heard
it calls for brothers beyond the dark stream

cool dvd

Is this about Valhalla?

No it is about Tuonela

Is about a river xD

Kinda sounds like it...

I'd like to hear some second opinions on this: as an Englishman and a lover of my folk traditional and culture, I have always been a great lover of the music of the great Ralph Vaughan Williams. To anyone who loves European traditional folk music I thoroughly recommend his work. Now, this is what I'd like my brothers' opinions on: listen to this song from about 02:43 until 03:15 where we have that wonderful military-sounding flute and trumpet cadence. Then compare it to the passage in Vaughan Williams's 'English Folk Song Suite (easy to find on Youtube) and listen to that piece of music from about 01:05 to 02:10. My contention is that the Ensiferum cadance is directly influenced by or (perhaps more interestingly) unconsciously continues in the same pan-European militaristic tradition, as Vaughan Williams's adaptation of the English 18th century folksong. Have a listen to both and let me know what you think!

Well considering Vikings and traditional folk music from 350AD still exists as there has been chests which had songs written in them and we know what Norse music sounded like, I'm guessing that Finnish music would of sounded familiar but definitely came before 18th century.

Brotherhood!

Hi! Anyone knows some traditional nordic stuff similar to that?? Thanks!

Danheim. Danish viking music from my country. 💪🏻

Moonsorrow, Korpiklaani, wintersun, brymir just to name few

Amon Amarth

Northland

MY LIFE FOR ENSIFERUM...HU..HAAAA

The longest journey-i am listening this song from 2010 and still not bored.

Spase Risteski 2020 and counting...

Classic music never gets old

heikot vaipuu kuohuun sysimustaan
sankarit kun astuu joen rantaan
halki iäisyyden laulu raikaa
kutsuu se veljiä tumman virran taa <3

difficult to read for czech girl but I love this lyrics and language <3

for polish boy isn't easy too :p

Its easy for turkish gentlemen

Holy shit, thats badass that youre listening to this! Kiitosta paljon

That's ez for polish girl

Greetings to Eastern Europe from Finland! Some really cool bands coming from both Czech Republic and Poland!

Got my DNA results from MyHeritage...i live in Germany like the last 5 or 6 generations before me...And wow, now I know i have a lot of vikingblood. So hail vikings

vikings dint dare to cross ( no pun intentended) the finns. after we split with sweden look at the results :D i can trace my family for 1400 who fought for swedes and i mean 1400 years ago not the year. we need to unite because all the big ball bad guys went to defend east land.
alone we are useless.. but together! we are not the same but we both need eachother!

Ads are getting smarter

@Bigotdweller1488 actual original Finnish originates from mongolia/Siberia fool, has nothing to do with the germanic mutts

Be careful. I heard that certain dna test companies purposefully tell you you have 1-2% african blood just to "troll the racists"

@ᛞᛟᛟᛗᛁᚾ western finns

Ensiferum members aren't human beings. They are gods.

Take it easy, Kiddo.

No, theyre the guardians of Odin's throne

@Golden Egg That Never Hatched theyre finns not scandinavians and its somewhat insulting considering scandinavians often invaded the baltics. the closest i think you could get is Ukko which is i believe one of the more important gods

Elif Erdogan haklı

@Stefan ...Another hit and miss, my dear. :P Not baltics either.

My most favorite album by far.

by afar*

Best Workout music

Yes! And listen to "Amon Amarth - Live for the kill" when you're running!

Thanks to this song I'm an Ensiferum addict.

FROG SONG FROG SONG FROG SONG

@Golden Egg That Never Hatched theres a video of a rain frog walking around in a wheel that has this in the background.

victory or Valhalla

you and your valhalla, finns have Tuonenvirta! (practically same as styx)

..and beond that "Ttuonela"

one term to other side, hell

A victory to valhalla!

@Golden Egg That Never Hatched vallaha is for Norse us Finns are a separate culture. The Vikings found it easier to sail.to Canada than to take on their nearest neighbors just kilometers east in Finland. Ask the Russians about 1939. Hahahaha

Tuuuuuuuuuuuuumman Virrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrran Taaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

ki delicioso

favorite From Afar song! <3

the choir made my beard go insane

You must make a sacrifice to it, that'll calm it down.

FUCK*NG.
