lyrics

E basmul meu şi-a ta poveste
Ce doar în vise-o poţi afla
Făr’ de-nceput şi făr’ de capăt,
Povestea mea şi-a ta.
Drept călăuză avem stele
Iar drumul nostru e şi-al lor
Din universul cel vrăjit
E lumea viselor.

Dincolo de zări, paşii mei mă duc
Spre sure depărtări – chemări de neoprit
Sunt gânduri ce dormeau ascunse-n mintea mea
Sub scăpărări de stele acuma s-au trezit.
Materia mi-e mamă, iar timpul, tată drag
Trecutu-mi e neant iar viitorul zăboveşte
Dintre zei şi oameni sfărmat-am orice prag
Din fir de nefiinţă eu torc noua poveste.

Răstorn tot universul şi aprig îl frământ
O formă nouă dându-i, neprihănită stare
Şi sorii i-am supus, am îmblânzit comete
Nemărginitul haos acu-i ca o cărare.
Sunt tainic ucenic, ascunsul demiurg
Păşesc prin lumea nouă de nimeni bănuit
Visând cum or să fie şi lumi ce le-oi crea
Când stelele-mi vor spune că vremea le-a sosit.

English translation:

Stars at the Helm

It is my tale and your own story
That you can find in dream alone,
That knows no end or else beginning,
My story and your own.
We march along with stars for guidance
And our path has theirs at helm
In their enchanted universe –
’Tis dreamland’s very realm.

Way beyond the skies, on my strides career
To misty distant leas – those calls I cannot thwart
They’re thoughts that dormant lay concealed within my mind
Now, stirred by whimsy starlight, have fled the slumber’s fort.
With matter for a mother and time for father nigh
My past bespeaks abyss, my hereafter bound to linger
’Tween the gods and mortals, I rent the verge awry
No more the one of being, the tale under my finger.

I wrench the mighty cosmos and strenuously knead
To mould it into new shape, immaculate array
The suns, I have now seized, the comets, I have bridled
Th’illimitable chaos is wrought into a pathway.
Apprentice unbeknown, the demiurge unseen,
I range the newborn cosmos, unguessed by any wight
Reflecting on forthcoming creations I design
When stars at helm advise me that their time is right.

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
