lyrics

Pitch black darkness, all light is lost
Pray for deliverance when you need it most
No way to turn back, the nightmare’s true
The dragon’s mouth has swallowed you

Ancient times carved in stone
No man’s eye has seen
Dreams of kings, flesh and bone
Fires in between

In halls forsaken black waters will take you away
Carry you deep underground
The road is taken, say farewell to the light of day
Guardians without a sound

Born from the ashes of another world
They’ll come to rise again, unseen, unheard
Cathedral of the earth

Ice cold giants, where eagles fly
The dawn of time has seen their rise
Beyond destruction and human doom
The demons’ realm and angels’ tomb

Ethereal realms, azure dawn
Time is standing still
Air thins out with each breath drawn
Climb another hill

A land not for the fools in life to see
When all is gone these giants still will be

The hall of the heroes lies waiting
A place for those who will deserve
To see lands of gold and of silver
This will be the day of your birth
Cathedral of the earth

The arc of nature’s triumph
Cathedral’s gate of kings
Where treasures long forgotten lay
The secret seven rings
The river howls with fury
The storm waits to be braved
So ride on wings of crimson wrath
Or die beneath the waves
Atop the raging waters
The tower stands divine
The heart of earth’s cathedral
The faithful stand in line
To worship this creation
That will teach fear to time
It stands in silent majesty
Yet praised in countless rhymes

The garden of eternal secrets
That always has been and will be
Will welcome you now and forever
The greatest of wonders to see

The gates of earth’s palace are opened
Come kneel to the crown of the kings
In darkness you will find salvation
And dragons again spread their wings

And when all hope must cease and life is through
The chain of wisdom may be forged anew
Another dawn must come sometime again
May earth be touched by the hands of better men

By forces mistaken destruction awakens
In ages primeval rebuild earth’s cathedral

about

Elvenpath image

Elvenpath Frankfurt, Germany

Elvenpath is not another retro band that tries desperately to sound old school and is more concerned about tight pants and numerous spikes than about good songs. Neither are they oblivious to the glorious past of heavy metal. They’re rooted in the traditional style of (German) power metal but there are plenty more influences to be discovered in their music.
