Song 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

-Chorus-
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
Introduced 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

-Chorus-

Long ago
In the early years of the Second Age
Great elven smiths forged 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 ringmaking
And made the master ring

Besides their funny way to pronounce the word "swords" it's a very good song. No, it's a GREAT song.

Awesome!! Great vocals, lyrics, music. I love the Lord Of The Rings snippet too... I think it's Tolkien talking?

She says "Elvenpath" kinda funny. And "took me to a ride" is kind of weird but technically makes sense. There's nothing wrong with how she says "home gnome" though, unless I just can't hear it... She also says "elvis sight" instead of "elvish sight". And "elf folk is calling me" should be "elf folk are calling me" but hey, it's their first album and Tuomas must not have been that good at English

That song is what lead me to use this name as well Tuulikki is Tapio and Mielikki's daughter, in Finnish mythology.

Pronunciation and grammar issues, but this was their first album and it's not their native language so yeah. Very awesome energetic song. =)

The lyrics are a bit off in this one, but I love it anyway. Probably the best track off 'Angels Fall First'.
