The first time I heard this song in the album I suddenly found myself crying. It's hard to explain to people what blind guardian are capable of with words and music. Maybe I will say they are true bards, but still it's not enough. You can feel the passion they put in storytelling, Hansi poetry is of another level, the music is outstanding. There's no one as intense as they can be. Amazing!!

Well the story is from Silmarillion and Children of Húrin (J.R.R. Tolkien) as is the entire Nightfall in Middle Earth album (this is the last song in the album - a bonus track). So really you should attribute the storytelling to Tolkien, however this song is amazing nontheless. I am exactly at the part in Children of Húrin where Niniel marries Túrin so this song keeps going through my head all the time.

Brother, I understand. I’ve come back to this song for basically 2 decades and it always plays strong on the emotions. It helps that Blind Guardian is one of my absolute favorite bands ever. But this song gets me. It hits hard especially when you need it. Cheers.

She is gone Leaves are falling down The tear maiden will not return The seal of oblivion is broken And a pure love's been turned into sin At the dawn of our living time Hope may cover all cries Truth lurks hidden in the shadows Dreams might be filled with lies Soon there will be light Pain remains inside Suddenly it seemed so clear All the blindness was taken away She closed her eyes And she called out my name She was never ever seen again Harvest of Sorrow Your seed is grown In a frozen world full of cries When the ray of life shrinks Shall cold winter nights begin She is gone And I fall from grace No healing charm covers my wounds Fooled's the dawn And so am I Fooled by life and a bitter doom To bring you the end of the day At the dawn of our living time Hope it soon will pass by Facing a darkness I stand alone

A movie about Túrin would kick major ass... with this song playing in the credits it would be downright legendary. And wait -- when the credits are done, Varda setting up the Swordsman of the Sky. For dramatic effect the title should be TURAMBAR.

Hansi is a perfect example of why technical precision is less important than style and artistry. Dude hits some pretty sour notes in this performance, but it's still so powerful. Same principle applies to Warrel Dane.
@pablojosegarciacounago72655 жыл бұрын
If fact he was ill here. If you compare this performance with any of A night at the Opera Tour, you will see the difference. Since the beginning of past decade, he became a good singer talking about technical habilities too. Anyway, this performance is not perfect, but he reached most of the notes properly.

@CornAndKorn While I agree that most death metal bands can't compare to Blind Guardian, I don't think it's fair to simply dismiss them because they choose to grunt. The grunting contributes to the atmosphere of that music. I don't think that you can just dismiss say Opeth can't compare to blind guardian because they growl. There are many power metal bands that can't hold a candle to blind guardian, and can't hold a candle to death metal bands.

@MagnumCrackoff My view on music isn't "retarded", I just don't enjoy death growls because half of the time it's hard to understand what they're saying. I actually listened to Opeth as you suggested, and they're not that bad, but as I had expected, much of it was just death growls. I'm not saying that bands like them are bad, but they will never be able to hold a candle to Blind Guardian.
