Amorphis - Crowned In Crimson

CROWNED  IN  CRIMSON 

2025 ha sido testigo no solo de la publicación del décimo sexto LP de estudio de la banda finlandesa Amorphis, sino también de la salida de un nuevo single "Crowned in Crimson" que será incluido en la película finlandesa "Son of revenge - The story of Kalevala" que se estrenará a inicios de 2026. Para el presente single además presenta en la parte vocal femenina a Lida Joutsen, hija del carismático cantante de la banda. Un tema del que dejo un enlace a youtube de su clip oficial.

The moon used to rock my cradle at night
Twinkled the bells of the stars
Quivered the golden strands of my dreams
Whispered the Norns of my fate

But I was born under a bad sign
At a bad time to a place even worse
In the blood of my father
I was baptised, bound to my sister
By crapes

They took away my bright-eyed son
Robbed me of my fledgling young one
Put him in chains and dragged him away
Took him to toil as a slave through his days

With two faces grinned the moon
The sun was casting strange shadows
Many lives I fostered in me
Many roads all leading to death

I was cursed to drown under
Under waves
Condemned to burn in the flames
Hanged to a branch of an old oak
Shackled in fetters of iron forged

I'll raise the sword of my vengeance
And cry in the name of my father
To quicken my blood
And destroy all those who stand in my way

Your quest for revenge
Will be your undoing
Drowned in the blood of your kin
The avenging sword will break in two
Lulled by the dreams of Tuonela

The river is dark as it's rocking my boat
Twinkle the silver bells of the stars
Quiver the golden strands of (my) life
Whisper the Norns of my fate

Mustalla virralla veneeni keinuu
helisevät tähtien hopeiset kellot
värisevät elämän kultaiset langat
kuiskivat kohtalon haltijat
