Canciones para una vida - Ensiferm - Long Cold Winter Of Sorrow And Strife

LONG  COLD  WINTER  OF  SORROW  AND  STRIFE

Ya estamos al lado de la fecha de salida oficial del nuevo y noveno LP de estudio de los finlandese Ensiferum, "Winter Storm" (18 de octubre), y la banda muestra su segundo adelanto de la obra que demuestra una vez más que la dirección tomada en la anterior obra "Thalassic" de 2020 con la incorporación del teclista y cantante (voz limpia) Pekka Montin, será al menos el futuro inmediato de la banda, con ese toque quizá más power por la incorporación de los citados elementos, aunque conservando parte de la esencia de los Ensiferum clásicos. El segundo adelanto lleva por título "Long cold winter of sorrow and strife" y de él dejo un enlace a youtube de su lyric video oficial.

A flame divine, gods placed in men's care
To battle the frost, to banish despair
The days are grim and hearts turn cold
And even an act of kindness can lead to death and sorrow

The signs are clear, the dawn has come
The summer of our time shall soon be gone
The cold days are closing in
The bitter chill, it seems within

The trees stand bare, their leaves long gone
The earth is frozen, nothing moves on
The Sun is weak, its light so faint
As the world succumbs to winter's restraint

Weary wanderer
Of these dire times
Come and rest for a while

The long cold winter of sorrow and strife
Heal your tired soul by the embracing fire
We'll sing to remember and we'll drink to forget
The love, the loss and those who sailed into the last sunset

In the frozen wasteland, he'll forge his fate
A wanderer no more, he'll conquer with hate
Through the fires of vengeance, his path is now clear
Into the heart of the storm, he'll head without fear

Weary wanderer
Of these dire times
Come and rest for a while

The long cold winter of sorrow and strife
Heal your tired soul by the embracing fire
We'll sing to remember and we'll drink to forget
The love, the loss and those who sailed into the last sunset

Hear how the north wind howls, a mournful cry
See how the snow falls from the darkening sky

Before my eyes, the flames did rise
In crackling hearts, they mesmerize
They licked the skies with tongues of gold
A testament to the power they hold

The long cold winter
The long cold winter of sorrow and strife
Heal your tired soul by the embracing fire
We'll sing to remember and we'll drink to forget
The love, the loss and those who sailed into the last sunset
