Ploile reci ale toamnei
Curg acum cu mâhnire
Ca un Styx
Încremenit de jale.
Charon şi vâslele-i tremură
Şi luntrea nu vrea să o mişte
Să nu-ţi dea, şoim,
Spre-adânc liberă cale.
Vin şi eu acum
Pe tristul tău drum
Spre mâhnitul tărâm,
Aşteaptă-mă dincolo de moarte.
Furtuni ar vrea să te-ntoarcă
Din drumul tău cernit
Iar munţi cu drag s-ar pune
Zăgaz în calea ta
Ştiind că zadarnic e totul
Dar nevrând să nu te mai vadă
Chiar timpul piedică morţii
S-ar pune dac-ar putea
Năframe n-au fluturat
Şi nimeni n-a zis rămas-bun
Săruturi de-adio
Pe frunte n-au zăbovit
Doar o umbră ce-nvăluie toamna
A sădit în inimi frig
Şi pe drumul către neguri
Ai pornit.
English translation:
Look Forth for Me from Beyond (Death’s Doorway)
Autumn casts blood-freezing rainfalls
Grief flowing down like a river
Styx of old
In mournful shroud attired
Charon stands shuddering, stills his oars
His boat he is loath to set forth in
That you, hawk, may
In yon deep be never mired
See me haste my stride
Join your gloomy tide
To where sorrows abide
Look forth for me from beyond death’s doorway
Windstorms would gather their forces
To thwart your drear advance
And mountains would eagerly fall in
To a dam in your way stood
Knowing its strife unavailing
Yet lest it should ever lose sight of you
Time itself, death it would hamper
If only it ever could
There was no silken flutter
No farewell ever received
Not one sole parting kiss
On furrowed brow did alight
But one shadow enthralling the autumn
Has instilled its chill in hearts
And you set off down the pathway
In the night.

A masterpiece of Folk Metal. You know how I know? When I get goosebumps after listening to a album. Every song is perfection, beautifully crafted. Haunting vocals and violin, blazing guitar solos - it's all here. 10/10! SwordnBoard
