HERALD OF THE NORTH | Christian Symphonic Folk Metal & Rock with Lyrics

"Herald of the North" is a musical tribute to Saint Ansgar, also called the "Apostle of the North". The music could be classified as symphonic metal, folk metal, folk rock, or perhaps symphonic folk metal. In this song, you will get a glimpse into the life and trials of Ansgar as he brought Christianity to the Viking lands during the 9th century.
Song lyrics:
In the dawn of the ninth century arose,
A Benedictine monk to northern shadows.
Ansgar, to pagans bearing witness of light,
Sailed into darkness to bring them sight.
Across the sea, under a gray storm's veil,
In Birka’s heart, his faith would not fail.
Visions led through peril and night,
The cross shines forth, his guiding light.
March, Herald of the North,
Through Viking lands, you set forth.
Through frost and fire, bring forth the faith.
In hearts of rune-stone, new words engrave.
King’s halls and pagan shores,
He walked where fear grips and war roars.
Churches rise from the rune-stone land,
Built by his weary, faithful hand.
In Hedeby's streets, amidst raiders’ cries,
He taught of love beyond the skies.
Through trials where many would fall,
His voice a beacon for those who call.
March, Herald of the North,
Through Viking lands, you set forth.
Through frost and fire, bring forth the faith.
Through trials and cold, your mission embraced.
Under the Northern star so bright,
Against the sword, he spreads the light.
In lands of ice, witness to the Word,
A lone sentinel of the Lord.
From Corbie’s walls to the Norseman’s heart,
A mission divine, he played his part.
The seeds of faith, in cold ground sown,
A future church, from his courage grown.
March, Herald of the North,
Through Viking lands, you set forth.
Through trials, shone the light of faith.
In sacred echoes, your legacy waits.
Ansgarius, through the fire and frost,
Bringing hope eternal to the lost.
Herald of the North, under Christ's reign,
Symphony and steel to remind of the name.
How I make these music videos:
All of the music on this channel is made with AI music generation software called Suno. The lyrics are from my poetry. In many cases, I have written the lyrics entirely in the "old-fashioned" way, although in several other songs, I've also begun to use ChatGPT to aid in the process. However, these typically require extensive preliminary inputs and significant manual revision and fine-tuning before satisfactory results. Lyric videos are made with Pinnacle Studio 26.

AWESOME 🙏🙏🙏

Glad to hear you liked it!

Good stuff brother!

[@EchoesOfTheSacred]

Thank you, I appreciate it!

Good song. I appreciate it. I was an atheist. I converted to the Catholic faith thanks to our Lord's agency. I love death metal, epic song (like your song), and other genres like that. Unfortunately, all of them use satanic symbols and demonic lyrics (all bands that I used to hear). I abandoned those bands to be on God's will. Fortunately, I love classic music, and I always have good, exciting classic music to hear, like Mozart symphony n. 40. But I miss metal music in my life. I decided to search for Chrystian metal, and I've just found this masterpiece. Good song, my friends. I'm going to search about this Saint. I've never heard about him. I'm curious to know him!

Thank you. I'm glad you enjoyed the song. Just to be clear, I can't really take credit for the musical side of these songs as I make them with the help of AI software, so I just write the lyrics and just slightly guide the software to the right direction. And I think I understand your struggles with some metal bands and their flirtation with satanic symbols, etc. I don't like that one bit. As for Christian metal, if you like symphonic metal, HB's song "God Has All Glory" is IMO excellent: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gXPZeIRsZcSjbas also Theocracy, while not symphonic, seems to have some good Christian metal. I liked their song "Mosaic".

@@EchoesOfTheSacred God bless you!

[@EchoesOfTheSacred]

Thanks. God bless you too!

[@HeLeadethUs]

Welcome to the faith brother! I recommend Theocracy for power metal, and for heavier stuff you can try Holy Name, Demon Hunter, and War of Ages.

@HeLeadethUs Thanks for the recommendation. I would like to recommend to you "Hell's Enemy". It is a project of one dude. By the way, he has a symbol that looks like a satanic symbol, but it is not. Actually, it is the depiction of Jesus Christ in Revelation 5:6. God bless you, brother!
