This song is a tribute to Kentaro Miura and is about the Fantasia Arc from the manga / anime Berserk ! For us, his work is an absolute monument of Dark Fantasy with incredible character development, storytelling and lore. It is one of the best work of Fantasy ever !
This song is part of an EP called "From Midland And Beyond" dedicated to Berserk and it marks our turning point to Power Metal. That's the style we'll compose from now on.
lyrics
Into the Realm of the Elves
Beyond the waves and the wrecks
Hides the island of witches
Vast enclosure cut off from men
Utopian peace for secular studies
The knight takes the swords and defeats
Many spells and scarecrow fields
He ransacks the ramparts of the longed-for land
And the relic of the past, the wicker man
The warrior, survivor of the band
Reborns from ashes, sword in the hand
She faces the fear that broke her mind
Beyond evil and madness, hope is what she’ll find
Queen of this favored realm
Humble lady of the magical land
She holds in her roots the dreams of humans
These buried secrets that defy fate
The witches brave all sorrows
They cruch and kill with what they know
They fight for the doll and its porcelain
Untie the fervent dog from its chains
The warrior, survivor of the band
Reborns from ashes, sword in the hand
She faces the fear that broke her mind
Beyond evil and madness, hope is what she’ll find
The warrior, survivor of the band
Reborns from ashes, sword in the hand
She faces the fear that broke her mind
Beyond evil and madness, hope is what she’ll find
Her spirit has won; she finally meets her friends
In spite the dark pains that torment her head
Her husband will protect her on the way
And all three will live until the last day
The warrior, survivor of the band
Reborns from ashes, sword in the hand
She faces the fear that broke her mind
Beyond evil and madness, hope is what she’ll find
