Amorphis - The Black River

Last song from the album Silent Waters, concluding the tale of Lemminkäinen whose mother rescues and resurects him from the the river of death in Tuonela, the land of the dead.

Lyrics:

Still searching for my way, the right way to be
Still pondering what I've done
I'm still thinking what I've said, still finding from within
And all that I know is still not enough

I'm being held by the one
Shadow tormenting my soul
The curving neck of a swan
The slow turning of a birds head

So white its plumes and feathers
Its breast like the moon in water
Silent and tranquil it moves
On the river in the calm

I wander back on familiar roads
I sense the marks I left on the hills
I see the cuts and wounds of my deeds
They make me muse on life

Up the hill and the mountain
I look back, I look down
There flows the River of Death
And here the wind in my hair

Just Epic Piece Of Art.

Amorphis has been the perfect combination of Doom, Progressive, and Power Metal. One of the best bands

This song is fun on guitar!! and Silent Waters is fucking awesome on drums. two of my favorite songs off the album

[WolvesInferno]

Definitely a stand out song from the excellent 'Silent Waters' album. I think personally this is the best and most interesting album they've done since both 'Tuonela' and Am Universum'.

[McAwesomeGuys]

This is so awesome. Also Still Waters has some of the coolest cover art that I've ever seen.
