Ensiferum - Two Paths Lyrics






Callow dreams
Dawn of spring
No seeds of doubt yet sown in the ground
Man-made shades mould reality
Looming deceptions
Hope blurs it all

The path so bright
The path so dark
All crossroads of our lives
The path so bright (the path so bright)
The path so dark (the path so dark)
All crossroads (illusions) of our lives

No, feel no pity for a dying man
We're all just here to die, to live one precious life
None for all and all for none
It's the only law
Feed you inner wolves
With prudence

When the night closes in
It grants us the final wish
The blade may be rusty and dull
But the spirit will never bend
Unforgiving, benevolent, brave, noble and foolish
All will dim with the last exhale
Then all will be complete

Every deed has a price to pay
May sagacity and chaos bless your way

The path so bright (the path so bright)
The path so dark (the path so dark)
All crossroads (illusions) of our lives
The path so bright (the path so bright)
The path so dark (the path so dark)
All crossroads (illusions) of our lives

Ensiferum Two Paths Comments
  1. M.... ....

    I have been an Ensiferum fan since the day I discovered them, opening for Children of Bodom, in Paris (2009 I believe). I have all their albums, and listened to them frequently for the past few years.
    Yet, I just came accross this video and realised I had completely forgotten this album existed. I can agree with some other comments saying how forgettable it is. I listened to it upon its release and forgot everything about it. Sure, riffs are all good, but none of them are great nor memorable. Sad when you look back at Ensiferum's greatest tunes.

  2. N.... B....

    Cool track keep it rolling peace NuDruX

  3. L.... ....

    By far their worst album. Sounds like a collection of very poorly produced B-sides.

    L.... ....

    Your taste in music suck.

  4. S.... B....

    👍🔥🔥🔥👣⭐👍🔥👣👣

  5. M.... B....

    man, ich habe ensiferum echt mal gemocht. was sie nun machen ist einfach nur belanglos.

  6. M.... B....

    so boring

  7. S.... C....

    Wasnt sure when I first listened. After 3 or 4 more listens though, album has proved to be a real grower. Not 100% sold on the accordion, but I can live with it. 🙂. Anyway, the alternative is no Ensiferum. I know which I prefer. 😎

  8. G.... ....

    First two albums were amazing, victory songs was good, everything else is trash.

  9. N.... ....

    Как может не нравиться Ensiferum?))Всегда мощно,заводно и крышетрясно!!

  10. c.... a....

    their bass player is ridiculously cute, saw them live a few months ago, smile that can melt stone, just sayin

  11. M.... B....

    Definitely better than the last two albums, a bit more reminiscent of the golden age of Ensiferum. Not bad.

  12. O.... L....

    Dunno what people are saying, this album is great and at least half of it feels closer to the older stuff than the previous two, the newer tracks are pleasant to listen to, although I understand why some old fans could be alienated a bit.

  13. R.... B....

    Hail Ensiferum! Brutal album!!! That powerful and majestic intro sets it off!! 🤘🤘

  14. b.... ....

    This is the most Forgettable Ensiferum album to date, have some cool tunes, but not to be on par with the rest.

    b.... ....

    I agree.. But i love the first two songs!

  15. J.... G....

    Very impressive. Badass riffs and voice! 5*

  16. T.... ....

    Got to see them live back in January and they were so incredible that I am now a huge fan. This is my first album I bought from them too.

  17. A.... U....

    Good old Ensiferum, with new style. How can you not feel that "ensiferian" vibe? :P

  18. P.... K....

    what to say, album is great really like the melodic tunes of this album. of course is little different from thier earlier albums but just love the album. damn good songs :)

  19. S.... V....

    This is Ensiferum. Exactly what I expect. So Good! No other band does it like these guys. Amazing as always. Thank you, from Canada!

  20. D.... H....

    The first song is a brilliant opus about fighting for metal, half way in and the res of the album is folk pop.

  21. d.... D....

    It is good album. But we saw before better than this album. I hope they can turn the back soul of them music. My best music group.

  22. S.... Y....

    I'm loving it! :D Haven't listened to Ensiferum for a while, but this is really great. Stands out more than some other albums. :)

  23. J.... L....

    "Feast with Valkyries", Folía! ImI

  24. g.... c....

    What I don't like about bands like this is the use of samples, I hate that shit if you can't play those melodies with keyboard or some other instruments don't use it

    g.... c....

    I agree with you, but so do they; they have always had a keyboardist, in the shows too. but lately they have decided to be only the 4 guys and use samples live... actually they have this whole reflection about how they made this cd analogue to feel like they are playing live

  25. J.... P....

    These guys remind me some of the best Blind Guardian

  26. A.... S....

    Шото не качає. От шо буває, коли в колективі немає Лєпса

  27. Y.... B....

    >that 30 y/o boomer who still brings up Jari

    Y.... B....

    I read that as Jarl. I need to stop playing Skyrim, it messes with my head.

  28. B.... ....

    You know, metal is so popular in Finland that they have metal band for kids named Hevisaurus :DDD

    B.... ....

    wow this is cool, thanks :)

    B.... ....

    Can confirm. For a kid, what's cooler than dinosaurs and heavy metal? :D

  29. D.... D....

    great album

  30. W.... ....

    greetings from Poland great album !

  31. D.... V....

    These song titles could easily be from a Manowar album.

  32. W.... T....

    Adavant is one of the bands that is playing the show with Ensiferum and Septic Flesh in Phoenix, Arizona. They are local to Arizona and are awesome!

  33. W.... T....

    My wife and I both love Ensiferum and Wintersun! We just saw Wintersun a couple of months ago and it was amazing! We will see Ensiferum with Septic Flesh tomorrow night (Jan21/2019) here in Phoenix Arizona. We both play Lord of the Rings online MMORPG and this is perfect to game to! Epic Music!!! Hail Ensiferum!!!

  34. E.... W....

    God and the Devil are backwards
    visit Joy of Satan

    E.... W....

    fuck off sand cultist

  35. M.... F....

    Good Shit!!

  36. B.... ....

    It's great :3

  37. N.... ....

    I love this album! One of my faves so far!!

  38. F.... S....

    Not my taste, cant listen 1 song from this album without skipping. Love the band but this album not for me

  39. W.... ....

    What is this, Nighwishiferum? It's not bad, but I expected something else. Maybe it will grow on me, not sure yet ;)

  40. M.... J....

    You can criticize the band without "being automatically labelled as cancer". For me, Ensiferum was my fav band (now sabaton shifted them, and alestorm not too far behind). They went downhill since unsung heroes, becoming way softer, losing their identity, really similar to in flames and avenged. I really hope they are just "trying new things" but im afraid they are trying to become more mainstream. I really disliked this album, (OMA was soso, Unsung heroes was decent) but its far from their first 4 albums.

  41. R.... G....

    The Best Ensiferum's intro !!!!!!!

  42. B.... ....

    It's bad.

  43. S.... s....

    Wow! Girly Folk Metal.

  44. I.... P....

    Ear rape at 46:01

  45. J.... S....

    1- Alexandre ajattomasta unesta
    2- for those about to fight for metal maniacs
    3- way of the warrior soul
    4- two pathogens
    5- serpent king of storms
    6- blood feast with Valkyries
    7- don't you say it ain't so
    8- I will never kneel before zod
    9- god is dead and buried
    10- hail to the Victor hedman
    11- unettomaan aikaan artist
    12- god is dead and buried (alternative version)
    13- don't you say it ain't so (alternative version)

  46. S.... S....

    To all those who still cry about "why they are not the same as they here 10 years ago". Things change..and Ensif changed it for good!! Its not easy to go on like that if important Members leave! And to be honest. Ask urself, as fans, as metalheads. Why u listen to music like this? Is it because ur kinda of a fanboy..or is it cuz u feel ur warriors heart inside ur chest? Cuz if u listen to this album, listen to the lyrics, and u dont feel it, the power, the truth, the call....the answer is way to obvious..!!

  47. A.... 7....

    I saw these guys in Sydney, and I can only imagine or hope that Markus Toivonen has inproved his shity demenour. Maybe it was the fact we are so far from Europe?? Anyway this is a cool album.

  48. T.... ....

    This album is so great! I'm not sure why people aren't giving a fair chance. This album still has the ensiferum magic to me. For those who fight for this album, Gods of war salute you all!

    T.... ....

    I couldn't agree more

    T.... ....

    My favorite album aside from One Man Army

  49. H.... Q....

    ...Tout simplement magnifique, on se croirait vainqueur d'une guerre ou en train de combattre en écoutant cette musique!

  50. l.... p....

    It's taken time for me to warm to this album, but it's actually great! Another killer from Ensiferum, with some different stuff than usual. Up there with From Afar and One Man army.

  51. W.... S....

    Unpopular opinion: Netta was a very unnecessary addition to the group, her pedigree notwithstanding. For an act that bases most of its material off orchestration and keys, they didn't need to bring in a flaky accordionist who doesn't know what she wants out of life. Only served to hold them back a bit. Plus her honking was a distraction.

  52. K.... ....

    This album is fucking awesome!

  53. J.... S....

    I am elated in highest degree. This new album is, for my opinion, the best, Ensiferum has ever delivered.
    Wonderful pagan sound, which ist, simply expressed, outstanding !!!!! There is no better way, to listen finnish
    metal sound from the endless scandinavian landscapes and woods....

  54. M.... S....

    As with the previous album, I was a bit sceptical at first but now I am totally convinced!

  55. J.... S....

    starts off strong with the first songs become bad later i really miss Jari out of two paths this is not one i choose hurr durr god is dead im an edgy pagan

    J.... S....

    hurr durr edgy Stalin

  56. J.... P....

    Ensiferum keeps on gaining, i so love the melody in this band and the songs. I discovered them by accident ;) normally im into eurodance and base, but this got my attention. keep on rocking.

  57. M.... B....

    That´s boring. Man, I loved this band, but I think, they are not creative. Eyery song sounds like every song before.

  58. C.... A....

    A W E S O M E...

  59. J.... F....

    Saludos desde Colombia a los grandes maestros del metal nórdico 🤘🏻

  60. r.... f....

    Mieses Album.

  61. s.... ....

    fuck those cancer crybabies! Great album! Greetings from Poland!!!

  62. A.... P....

    epic!!!!!

  63. D.... S....

    The only track that sounds like real Ensiferum here at least to a degree is King of Storms.

  64. D.... S....

    I don't know why they continue on this "back to basics" path, studio is for studio material and lives are lives. These songs sound good live but that's just about it, I won't be replaying this like mad like I did with everything up to From Afar. Which I consider to be the best Ensiferum album hands down.

  65. E.... B....

    Hail from Brazil!

  66. B.... 7....

    Huuuuuiiii! Los geht die Reise ! 😍

  67. C.... ....

    Really good album, honestly i dont expect this :)

  68. M.... L....

    Am I the only one who thinks that the alternative versions of don’t you say and god is dead are better than the originals?

    M.... L....

    Everyone thinks that.

  69. M.... S....

    Many wanker kids are complainning about this new album. Guys and ladies, stop being so fucking moody teenages. If you think you can do better, then make a band and show up to the world wide your best.
    THIS ALBUM REALLY ROCKS!

    (translation to argentinian)
    Muchos pendejos pajeros rompiendo las pelotas con el nuevo álbum. Pibes y pibas, dejen de ser unos putos pubertos de mierda. Si creen que lo pueden hacer mejor, créense una banda y muestren lo mejor de ustedes al mundo entero.
    ¡ESTE ÁLBUM TIENE LA POSTA!

  70. Z.... ....

    More Petri Plz

  71. K.... S....

    Are they trying to be Korpiklaani now?

  72. M.... K....

    Fucking awesome! Guys, you are rocks! Thanks a lot for your music!

  73. J.... L....

    Hammer!!!!!!

  74. S.... ....

    WACKEN ♥

  75. G.... ....

    Weird mix of clean and harsh as well as metal and softer folk rock-ish stuff. Way of the Warrior is easily my favorite off the album.

  76. L.... F....

    My life lacked this album. Ty.

  77. P.... M....

    Valkryries is awesome

  78. H.... ....

    Don`t you say Alternative Version is much more better :D

  79. F.... G....

    Muito bom!! Ensiferum nunca decepciona!

  80. R.... T....

    Holy SHIT--so Metal CAN get gayer than HammerFall! WOW!!!

  81. J.... N....

    wow! No, no thanks!

  82. T.... ....

    Yeah, they've found to old strength. Brilliant Album

  83. O.... ....

    Next Album we need a Skâldmöld Alestorm Ensiferum Cooperation- i would die.

  84. N.... a....

    Hell, you guys really don't like this album?
    I like Ensiferum, I'm not a huuuge fan but I like them. And I think this is gonna be the first Ensiferum album that I buy, I love it. In fact, I'm gonna do it right now, I want this in my collection so bad.

    Edit: nevermind, been listening to them A LOT lately. I'm becoming a huge fan now, I think. Still think this album is great

    N.... a....

    It is great.

  85. S.... B....

    I guess I'm old school I like to hear the band play instruments Eno drum guitar but sucking vocals are badass but it all sounds computerized push a button mix it up there you go you got your songs you don't even have to do anything no Talent nothing occurred under what is occurring under one's own accord

  86. G.... S....

    I don't know what people are complaining about, this album is amazing.

  87. P.... H....

    I keep trying to enjoy this album as a whole, but I just can't do it. Some songs are good though.

  88. D.... V....

    :c list of my greatest viking bands killed by commercial music (epic when unknown, without soul when get known):
    -Turisas
    -Finntroll
    -Ensiferum
    -Korpiklaani

    I hear their songs, and feel nothing. A bit of Alestorm, a bit of the heavy metal of 80, some recyrcling of From Afar (but not well) and other previous albums, what the hell you did with Ensiferum? Where are Lai lai hei, Victory songs, Ahti, Ad victoriam, Battle song, Slayer of light, Into battle, etc?
    In memorian, RIP my brave warriors, you no longer walk in Waalhaven.

  89. N.... V....

    I don't get the complaints that everyone else is doing vocals too, haven't they done that ever since Petri Joined?

  90. D.... G....

    So fucking stale...

  91. X.... ....

    forever a fucking wild live act

  92. I.... F....

    I just discovered this Spanish band, they are great! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TweeXDjWsuo

  93. M.... M....

    I WILL NEVER KNEEL

  94. C.... K....

    the best Part 38:11

  95. J.... H....

    Great album for an epic quest to the valley 🤘🤘🤘

  96. A.... L....

    You people whining about Markus singing, stop- Band doesn't care about your opinion, they do what they like and see best.

  97. F.... ....

    Very good news. For me One man Army was "more of the same" but this one is shining some novelty and powerful ass-kicking, can't wait for the live show tomorrow :) :)
