Lyrics:
Hanging
I see their corpses clinging
Half hooded in disguise
Their shapes I recognize
They hang
On the grey oak they swing
Ponder
So many miles I wandered
I roamed without an aim
I fought men without name
To reach this hanging tree
(Hang)
By the throat they are tied to old wood
Aftermath of perverted kinghood
(Die)
By moonlight two shadows that shine
Arms and legs hugged by vines
(Doom)
Its branches are knotted round the sun
Setting pale on the foggy courtyard
(Slay)
Silhouetted against crossing spears
(They were) hanged by the Cavalier
Hanging
They stand against my sight
Oh the eyes can now see clear and bright
As my chest opens wide
Hanging
I see their corpses clinging
Half hooded in disguise
Their shapes I recognize
They hang
On the grey oak they swing
Ponder
So many miles I wandered
I roamed without an aim
I fought men without name
To reach this hanging tree
As I revealed their pale glass eyes
Too late I realized
As I unveiled the hood
There they stood
My love (and) my daughter
Hanging
They stand against my sight
Oh the eyes can now see clear and bright
And I just want to die
They hang from the hanging tree on morrow
Their necks have cracked and my heart turned black
Hanging
I see their corpses clinging
Half hooded in disguise
Their shapes I recognize
They hang
On the grey oak they swing
Ponder
So many miles I wandered
I roamed without an aim
I fought men without name
To reach this hanging tree
Half hooded in disguise
Their shapes I recognize
As they hang on the hanging tree

[@SunCrawler.]

I've always loved Elvenking, but they took it to the next level with this song...

[@_Valkyrjia_]

It's been a long time since a song and its narrative vocals have captivated me so intensely. From the bludgeoning intro to the reveal, I was completely taken in by it both storywise and melodically. I cannot WAIT for this album!

[@besorah_x]

Decided to listen to these guys on a whim and HOLY CRAP EVERY SONG GOES HARD

[@gustavoamerico]

This chorus is absolutely amazing!

[@unimatrix82]

I really want to see these guys live before i get too old. Im always recommending Elvenking to people i know who listen to metal, and want something unique and different to listen to. Im a Legionnaire for life !

[@PariahPsypomp6775]

I caught them live a few months ago. They were amazing!

[@matteopozzi2605]

What a great band!

[@PariahPsypomp6775]

Coming back because of the algorithm, when you guys played this out in Detroit, I lost my mind! Please come back to Michigan \m/

[@TrueGloryMetalChannel]

Great new song guys

[@stremis]

Twilight Force made the disney version of power metal, whit positive theme and a happy sound. Elvenking made the Berserk version. And i love both.

[@axelboarf2169]

Talking about Disney Power Metal, try Fellowship ;)

[@EddyEP2]

Couldn’t agree more🤟🏻

[@MrExplosion449]

A symphonic metal band that isn't just pop with distortion? fuck yeah!

[@Cernumospete]

Gods. This and Garden of Bones... I wonder how long I 'll have to wait for a crossover.

[@rafaelcastellanos1666]

Oh god, why is this so fkin good?

[@madararinengan]

This looks like a new anthem! It's a very sticky song!

[@uncledubpowermetal]

Really cool stuff, y'all! Keep this shit up! 🤘

[@phozaw1244]

Nice art

[@JonasFilberg]

👌🏿

[@clrilbouda2381]

👍👍👍💣👿

[@GARYBLONDER]

The production and perfect level are the stars of this unremarkable but very enjoyable crowd-sing-the-chorus "I swear revenge" Power Metal tune. Well worthy of your PM playlist. My Score: Good 3*

[@llamaloxargg5653]

Me recuerda a otra canción pero no caigo , me encanta

[@ОзорнойГуляка-м6у]

Группа постепенно переходит в разряд классических.

[@KirbyBolha]

A Árvore do Enforcamento Enforcados, vejo seus corpos pendurados Meio encobertos disfarçados Suas formas eu reconheço Eles balançam no carvalho cinzento Refletindo sobre tantas milhas que percorri Vaguei sem rumo Lutei contra homens sem nome Para chegar a esta árvore do enforcamento Pelo pescoço, eles estão amarrados à madeira antiga Consequência de um reinado pervertido (Morram) À luz do luar, duas sombras que brilham Braços e pernas abraçados por videiras Seus galhos estão entrelaçados ao redor do Sol Pálido ao se pôr no pátio nebuloso (Mate) Silhuetas contra lanças cruzadas (Eles foram) enforcados pelo Cavalheiro Enforcados, eles permanecem diante da minha visão Oh, os olhos agora podem ver claramente e brilhantemente Enquanto meu peito se abre amplamente Enforcados, vejo seus corpos pendurados Meio encobertos disfarçados Suas formas eu reconheço Eles balançam no carvalho cinzento Refletindo sobre tantas milhas que percorri Vaguei sem rumo Lutei contra homens sem nome Para chegar a esta árvore do enforcamento Quando revelei seus olhos de vidro pálidos Tarde demais percebi Quando descobri o capuz Lá estavam eles Meu amor (e) minha filha Enforcados, eles permanecem diante da minha visão Oh, os olhos agora podem ver claramente e brilhantemente E eu só quero morrer Eles pendem da árvore do enforcamento no amanhã Seus pescoços se quebraram e meu coração se tornou negro Enforcados, vejo seus corpos pendurados Meio encobertos disfarçados Suas formas eu reconheço Eles balançam no carvalho cinzento Refletindo sobre tantas milhas que percorri Vaguei sem rumo Lutei contra homens sem nome Para chegar a esta árvore do enforcamento Meio encobertos disfarçados Suas formas eu reconheço Enquanto eles pendem na árvore do enforcamento

[@adamprz]

Mix 🤷‍♂️ But the song 🤍

[@itacom2199]

Hanging I see their corpses clinging Half hooded in disguise Their shapes I recognize They hang on the grey oak they swing Ponder so many miles I wandered I roamed without an aim I fought men without name To reach this hanging tree HANG! By the throat they are tied to old wood Aftermath of perverted kinghood DIE! By moonlight two shadows that shine Arms and legs hugged by vines DOOM! Its branches are knotted round the sun Setting pale on the foggy courtyard SLAY!

Is this about the tree on Witcher 3? I swear i see two swords on the back of the warrior and Imlerith

มี๊เอาไอโฟนมาให้หน่อยดิ ซัมซุงก็ได้ เอารุ่นไหนก็ได้แรงๆเร็ว ที่เดะทำไว้มันไม่เป็นตาม มันกลายเป็นเช้าชามเย็นชาม เก็บความทรงจำอะไรไม่ได้เลย

[@KARYTTAH_SpiritaPopMetal_BAND]

-> 🤔 Maybe We're The 1st Spiritist* Pop-Metal Or Rock Band In This World.. -> But Don't Pay Much Attention To Our Neanderthal English, HaHa ❤ *NOTE: -> Spiritist is who professes Spiritism, the Gospel continuation It has began with the books by Allan Kardec and continued in the books by Francisco C. Xavier, the greatest and more important medium/prophet of spirits of the last centuries...

[@blindg7092]

By the lyrics it seems a bit repetitious. Don't know.

[@unimatrix82]

The song tells a story and has a reveal at the end, the song structure aids in the story telling part.
