LYRICS:
(In the sheltering shade of the forest
Calling calming silence
Accompanied only by the full moon
The howling of a night wolf
And the path under my bare feet...
...The Elvenpath)
Hearing music from the deepest forest
Songs as a seduction of sirens
The elf-folk is calling me
Tapio, Bear-king, Ruler of the forest
Mielikki, Bluecloak, Healer of the ill and sad
Open the gate and let me follow the uncarven path
The way to the lands
The way to the lands
Where as a hero I stand
The path where Beauty met the Beast
Elvenpath
It's the honesty of these worlds
Ruled by magic and mighty swords
That makes my soul long for the past
Elvenpath
The moonwitch took me to a ride on a broomstick
duced me to her old friend home gnome
Told me to keep the sauna warm for him
At the grove I met the rest - the folk of my fantasies
Bilbo, Sparhawk, goblins and pixies
Snowman, Willow, trolls and the seven dwarves
The path goes forever on
The way to the lands
Where as a hero I stand
The path where Beauty met the Beast
Elvenpath
It's the honesty of these worlds
Ruled by magic and mighty swords
That makes my soul long for the past
Elvenpath
(Long ago, the early years of the Second Age
The great Elven smiths forged the Rings of power)
As I return to my room
And as sleep takes me by my hand
Madrigals from the woods
Carry me to neverland
In this spellbound night
The world's an elvish sight
In this spellbound night
The world's an elvish sight
(But then the Dark Lord learned the craft of ring-making
And made the master Ring)

Tolkien's world and Nightwish combined😍😍😍. This song goes straight to my heart!

[@Nikioko]

Listen to Blind Guardian, they have a subscription on Tolkien with their songs. :-D

[@daneelolivaw1976]

@@Nikioko yes I know, I have all their albums too. I just hope Amazon will talk to either or both bands to include some of their art in the new series

[@GehardNunes]

the lord of the ring \o

[@jonathanday6692]

I know Tolkien recorded himself reading from his books. Is that Tolkien speaking?

[@diceymaan]

Plus Kalevala (Mielikki & Tapio). My guess would be, since it's a really old song. Tuomas had just read more about Lord of the Rings and Tolkien, and learned that Tolkien was inspired by Kalevala and Finnish language when he wrote about the Elves. Complete guesswork obviously, but it's fun to theorize 😊

[@pirkkaruuska5766]

I love how Floors and Marcos voices complement each other. The are my favorite vocal dualists easily. 2 so powerfull voices and neither one is overbearing.

for me personally, no matter how many symphonic metal bands there are in the world, no one can even come close to nightwish. They are not like everyone else. Love you guys.❤️❤️❤️

[@MikkoRantalainen]

The instrumental part (Elvenjig) was absolutely perfect on this gig!

[@alberthamilton7585]

There is not another symphonic metal band out there that can even compare to nightwish!! So unique, and such an amazing and talented group in so many ways!!

[@hambikv8005]

It's hard to digest the sadness of Marko's leaving.

[@Valnotersc]

We can only pray that there's a chance for his return. Nightwish has adapted to other losses and kept creating great music. They'll definitely have to change without their secret lead singer. But while seeing Tarja back on stage with them is a pipe dream, I'll have to keep hope that isn't the case for Marko.

[@leosurname6993]

Let’s keep hope that his health improves and he feels like playing for us again. He said he may come back one day, so it is a possibility.

[@durhamviking1809]

He was the start of the demise

[@patrickthepure]

No king rules forever, my son.

[@reeilona]

@V. S. Werejester Yes, I saw them them twice in this summer, and it was still magical and wonderful, even without our dear, so loved Marko. I wish all of them joy and happiness whatever the decide to do

[@greenscarab2]

What a talent on one stage. My wish to see them live and bring Marco back too!

[@chris-fc9im]

I literally pack my backpack and rum, carry my old tape deck across the river into the forest and hike a trail to my spot on the forested plateau high ridge and open the night with this song about 1/3 trips, this song can bring me to tears along with a few others of your creations, thank you !

[@sorasnightmare4688]

The absolute joy on the band members' faces during the intro is exactly why we love Nightwish so much, just look at that huge grin from Toumas! ❤️

[@andreisabogal6953]

My dream is that one day Nightwish do a whole concert with Floor and Tarja, an epic moment for music history.

[@Davedigger871]

This song, with Phantom of the Opera; should be in every setlist. Love it.

[@user-mm3sd3uh6y]

[@juhos30000]

@@user-mm3sd3uh6y sadly without Marko, we will not hear them, atleast in their full glory. Troy can sing some of these songs well enough but he doesnt have the power

[@stpftw1]

elvenjig is just so magical masterpiece to ears.

[@tommyerickson1900]

NW is a rare combination of talents, in a perfect harmony, orchestrated by Tuomas. This is too much ... I cry every time I here this, and nearly all of NW songs. Sometimes I think there's something wrong with me for crying all the time. But ... then I think ... There is soo much feelings released in their (Tuomas's) songs that it is inevitable. And all the band members are just so perfect in place. Just let your feelings free.

[@ZzKevZz]

You're not alone in that.

[@rampake-1575]

Oh the memories of early days of Nightwish that elvenpath brings to me. Was couple of their 1st ever live shows in "97-98" when they released their 1st album Angels fall first. I had broken wrist but still went to see them play. Had a blast when they played in small nightclub and yelled Tuomas to sing male parts of beauty and the beast. He was kinda embarrased, lol. One of my favorite bands ever since then!

[@ilarious5729]

The way she pronounces Mielikki makes me happy 😁

[@Telepuzique]

[@user-oo1pq7ty7o]

Вот только с этим грёбанным вирусом концерты перенесли на следующий год. А будут ли они во всех тех странах и городах в которых планировались выступать в 2020 году!?! Или как всегда в последнее время политика сделает своё дело и придётся ехать в другую страну чтобы наконец-то попасть на одну из лучших на мой взгляд зарубежных рок групп. Мне бы на Тарью Турунен попасть пока она ещё выступает)))))).

[@colinadamsmusic]

The musicians in this band are fn bosses...love seeing Marko switch off so easily playing a nice guitar riff straight into a thundering bass line on the same double guitar. So badass. And Troy was rocking two wind instruments. 🙌

For anyone who's interested (and isn't a folk music buff like me): the tune at the beginning is called the Monaghan Jig! I love to hear these more traditional tunes used by such a good band as Nightwish...! All the best from your local friendly folk fiddler!

That envy can be felt up to where I am on the other side of the world. I don't think it's Argentina's fault that the bands didn't come to Colombia, but it's clear that the logical reasoning was never strong in Latin America.

Amigo, yo me puse triste al saber que no podría ir a Bogotá a ver a Nightwish, ya me tocara cuando vuelvan a Colombia... deberías saber que las plazas que más atraen en LATAM son México, Argentina, Chile en Colombia el apoyo es poco, antes vinieron.. y eso que Colombia se volvió plaza para las bandas de metal luego de la 1er ves que llego Iron Maiden.
