So beautiful, the ending of the saga... of an age... of the best story line music could ever give us. Rhapsody of Fire, please never stop doing this beautiful, amazing music we all love.
The intro of "Tempesta Di Fuoco" and the melody of the chorus of "Heroes Of The Waterfall's Kingdom" Were taken from Beethoven's Piano Sonata N.1 Op.2, 4th Movement
The Chorus is so epic. I am stunned by how Rhapsody Of Fire sounds different than their previous albums even though people expect something similar to the previous albums. I love how they transition their music. It's like experiencing evolution for the ears of us fans. I will never regret buying and receiving the mailorder edition. Now that I have a disc without vocals, I can sing the songs, but I'm sure I will never sound as awesome as the great Fabio Lione
I just ran a competition of 10.8 km, this was the last song. I stopped and he said... The moment has come, we must hurry... hilarious :D but a little too late :p great song love the story telling in this song :D
That is absolutely the most killer ending of ANY song or ANY album I've heard. Especially the choirs with the strings and guitars.. wow, just sends shivers down your spine. :o
I play the piano since 4 years old, im now 25, and this is a masterpiece of all the times, im sure that if the great composers of old times, were alive, would be big rock stars, like Rhapsody =)
RoF also has a song that lenghts about 35 min 44 sec, The Cold Embrace of Fear. It's a song made by 7 acts (well, really are 7 songs that make a longer, full song) and it's a real master piece of Heavy Metal, higly recommended. That song really seems to be a film.
In between amazing lakes And breathtaking waterfalls Valiant heroes found their fate Rode and faced the black storm In the fury of the wind At the hardest clash of steel Valiant heroes raised their sword For the sake of the world
Wow this is really emotive. If you are a Rhapsody follower you know what i mean. Simply amazing, unique in their lyrics. Thank you Rhapsody for making such an incredible story and awesome music!!
@Hazelminker "Gargoyles, Angels of Darkness" is actually 19:02 long, whereas this one is 19:38 long, making it the longest Rhapsody song ever, if you do not count "The Cold Embrace of Fear" EP as one big song.
Theocracy's title track off their second album (the cover art is my profile picture), Mirror of Souls, is a killer track that clocks in at almost 23 minutes long. :)
@donlucx Fortunatly, Luca stated in a interview that they won't be giving up on fantasy topics, as that always defined Rhapsody. He also went on about mythology, sci-fi, (Think Luca's Prophet of the Last Eclipse.) and Medieval subjects. I doubt another saga will be made, but I hardly seeing them changing drastically.
@Sazalamel1 You need the booklet to understand it all. There's a whole story behind this song : the war of the people of the Enchanted Lands against the demons from the Northern lands, the eclipse, Iras, Dargor, Etherus and Lothen hurrying to place the eyes on the statue and Thanor (well, that's in the song but not totally), Etherus' sacrifice, Dargor changing his mind upon the will of Erian... the whole ending is missing. You have to read it all to understand...!
one of the things i most like of the Italians (Rhapsody) is that they can took extracts or some structures from classical repertoire or the texts from misae or dies irae but they don't pretend to do a metal version copy of them like other bands do (shitting the real scores of the works), they only use them as part of their own compositions!!!!
Yes, this is an epic storyline thing. Yes, it's really, really loud. Yes, it deserves it's own mini movie. But the thing that made me laugh was the fact that the melody of 4th movement of Beethoven's Sonata in F minor, Op. 2 No. 1 is featured at 7:15 and towards the end 14:22. Thank Beethoven for my view of the video, because that's how I found this song.
@barthomero721 As I said it : "Gargoyles, Angels of Darkness" is actually 19:02 long, whereas this one is 19:38 long, making it the longest Rhapsody song ever, if you do not count "The Cold Embrace of Fear" EP as one big song.
Same here. I can't wait for the reissue of their debut album. The Serpent's Kiss and The Victory Dance are amazing enough already, but with real drums and remastered audio, the album will be killer!
What about another Rhapsody song? "The Dark Prophecy of the Demon Knight," when listened to properly, that is, immediately followed by "Dark Reign of Fire," is 23 minutes 43 seconds.
It's simply unbelievable. This music (and band) makes it seem that every other band is a joke. Incredibly Épic. Never in all my life i thought i would come to hear a song of that level. THAT is Art. The rest is bullshit.
It's both art and music, the only difference between this and nearly every other modern artist is that most modern artists are entertainers, not musicians :-)
@Nicanor95 Nope, italian is not a root of spanish. Both italian and spanish were born from the latin, though their differences came because while the goths invaded Italy, visigoths did the same in Spain (and they both had different languages). That's why italian and spanish are brother languages, they are from the latin family.
Las santas palabras de Erian Fueron llenos del poder de los ángeles Su significado tan claro como el flujo de brillantes Se habló de la última de las guerras primordial Y, por el momento en que Thanor, el dragón negro Se volvió contra Nekron ... Y revelead a los ángeles el lugar donde se escondía Cuando el hijo impío de Kron descubierto este Su rabia agrietada de la Tierra
... This world will never be free again, only the legendary warrior of ice can finish what started, reborn again mighty warrior.. Hills, rivers and lakes call his lohy name!
@melindastrassekonig Yes they have said that this is only the end of the Emerald Saga and they are about to make a new saga (without Christopher Lee unfortunately)
@Sazalamel1 Yeah I think there a website around here that explains the whole story. I had to read the whole story made by Luca Turilli to understand the lyrics better. They aren't just any random lyrics.
![Felix "Unfair" | [Stray Kids : SKZ-PLAYER]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/Oswujxm2Ag0/mqdefault.jpg)
I love it when Rhapsody of Fire just randomly comes up with an INSANELY long song without any prior notice whatsoever.
R.I.P. Christopher Lee
May his contributions to metal live on forevermore!
[PART I: LO SPIRITO DELLA FORESTA]
[King Uriel:]
The horns of war were sounding
On icy winds the echoes of ancient fears will breathe again
Soon on the edge of the Northlands
The future of our world would be decided
Nel timido soffio del vento
Al nuovo sorriso del sol
Si scopre la valle dorata
Incanto d'anima e coree
Sentiero ce ormai ti nascondi
Rivela la via che fu
Tra quercia, castano ed abete
Al nostro passo silente
Odori sfumati nel senso
Colori ormai senza eta'
Tra resine ed erbe inebrianti
Tra ombra e verita'
Leggiadra visione di sogno
E di parallela realta'
Transcendi l'umana coscienza
Pacando il mio fiero ardore
[CHORUS:]
OR SPLENDE IN ME LA TUA LUCE
NEL SUO RIFLESSO PACE ED AMOR
IL VERDE INTIMO MANTO
E DELLA ROCCIA IL GRIGIO PUDOR
INCANTO E PURA ENERGIA
RICOLMA D'ANTICA SAGGEZZA
IO CANTO LA TUA MERAVIGLIA
DIVINA E MISTICA ESSENZA
INCANTO E VERA MAGIA
TRA NEVE, RUGIADA E TEMPESTA
NEL SOGNO, MITO E LEGGENDA
LO SPIRITO DELLA FORESTA
Ti amo o madre natura
O vita che data mi fu
Or splendi scintilla infinita
Tra il verde, il grigio ed il blu
Vi amo creature dei boschi
Pulsanti di vita e ancor piu'
Custodi d'astrali pensieri
Che a noi si celano arcani
[CHORUS:]
OR SPLENDE IN ME LA TUA LUCE

IL VERDE INTIMO MANTO
E DELLA ROCCIA IL GRIGIO PUDOR

[PART II: REALM OF SACRED WATERFALLS 3:17]
Warriors and dragons from the middle lands
Knights from the Western far rocky plains
Elves from the wide majestic green lakes
Bravehearts from the South and the icy North
The astral alignment will show all its might
Be ready to get the stars' holy sign
They'll show us all one true face of the sin
The century's last... last great eclipse
March from the corners of the Earth
(March for the Earth... all march)
For the fate of your world
In this day of doom and blazing rage
Of clashing titans, anger, hate
May the hells collapse again
Acqua ch'or scendi
Or ruvida or stanca
Nel quieto singhiozzo
Tu scavi la roccia
Or lava la mano
Di quel mezzo uomo
Che 'si trasparente
Ti ruba al suo pianto
[CHORUS:]
IN BETWEEN AMAZING LAKES
AND BREATHTAKING WATERFALLS
VALIANT HEROES FOUND THEIR FATE
RODE AND FACED THE BLACK STORM
IN THE FURY OF THE WIND
AT THE HARDEST CLASH OF STEEL
VALIANT HEROES RAISED THEIR SWORD
FOR THE SAKE OF THE WORLD
ERIAS, THARIN, ARDUN, MORLA
Mighty Earthquake, invincible thunder
Now unleash your utmost power
Lift the wings, the wings of our angels
In this new and horrific war
Send the North wind to freeze
Any fear in our hearts
Finally allied for an angel who spoke
Against the unborn
March from the corners of the Earth
(March for the Earth... all march)
For the fate of your world
In this day of doom and blazing rage
Of clashing titans, anger, hate
May the hells collapse again
Acqua ch'or scendi
Or ruvida or stanca
Nel quieto singhiozzo
Tu scavi la roccia
Or lava la mano
Di quel mezzo uomo
Che 'si trasparente

[PART III: THANOR'S AWAKENING 8:30]
King Uriel:
The news of victory spread like lightning across the land
This battle ended with the army of darkness in total defeat
Their unholy blood spread across the snow
And dried black in the glorious sun of the Northlands
[Solo]
[Iras:]
The moment has come
We must hurry!
[Etherus:]
Take the eyes...
[Dargor:]
Alright
Aelin fits perfectly on the left
And Mornir on the other side
[Iras:]
The angels will speak
[Dargor:]
These vibrations...
[Iras:]
As I said it is the time of the angels
No... no my brothers! Look at the statue
Look and Thanor... look!
...
[Iras:]
The spirit of Thanor rose from the abyss
Where Nekron tortured his body and soul
After his betrayal in the last of the primordial wars
When the spirt reached the statue, the Earth quaked
[PART IV: NORTHERN SKIES ENFLAMED 11:19]
[Dargor:]
Fly... fly mighty Thanor
For your revenge and our freedom!
A prophecy trapped between icy winds
The words of an angel now cleary revealed
The day of the last terrific eclipse
Spit of the abyss, dark slaves of the beast
Who creep in the shade of bleeding dark worlds
Face us if you dare, we challenge you all
Epic clash of immortals
Demons, angels and men
Fire raining from Heaven
Chaos storming from hell
A dragon condemned to abandon his world
Could open his eyes, awake and reborn
Led by the angels he could finally rise
Enflaming the air of the Northern skies
A battle too hard to be faced by a man
A fight for who owns the magic of Earth
A sacrifice needed to stop a new hell
A mystical weapon, the forbidden spell
[Iras:]
Gods of light, angels of the highest cosmic spheres
My friend Etherus, master wizard of the White Dragon's Order
Gave his life for the beloved lands
Thanks to him Koras, the mightiest of the seven demons, was defeated
Thanor returned victorious after destroying the six other winged demons
In the darkness of the eclipse
Guided by the divine light of angels he killed them all
One by one, foiling Nekron's dark plans
And for what would be the last time he entered the main hall
And magically returned to stone
[Solo]
In between amazing lakes
And breathtaking waterfalls
Valiant heroes found their fate
Rode and faced the black storm
In the fury of the wind
At the hardest clash of steel
Valiant heroes raised their sword
For the sake of the world
[CHORUS:]
IN BETWEEN AMAZING LAKES

[PART V: THE SPLENDOUR OF ANGELS' GLORY (A FINAL REVELATION) 15:30]
[Iras:]
Thanor opened his eyes once again
Aelin and Mornir were brighter than ever
He stared at Dargor
Still not finished...
[Dargor:]
No, no...
Why me? Why?
[Iras:]
It is the decision of the gods and the angels
[Dargor:]
But I am half demon
There is evil blood pounding in my heart
You know it!
[Iras:]
That is the reason why
You have met darkness and light... and you chose
You are the most powerful of us all
The elected... the chosen one
...
[Dargor:]
So... so be it
I accept my fate
[King Uriel:]
Dargor's destiny was finally clear
His death was only physical
But from the rest of the shadowlord's body
A new form of life was born
Erian's angelic spirit now embraced Dargor's immortal soul
Combining the supreme energies of the cosmos
To become pure divinity
A god of cosmic light
Did breathe on the Earth... again
Creo que esta es mi canción favorita de Rhapsody of Fire, el coro (in between amazing lakes) tiene tanta energía, la primera parte esta en italiano, y el final es sencillamente increíble y hermoso, el final de la saga y de dargor, que parece que su destino final estaba escrito desde the emerald sword saga, la narración de Christopher Lee (para los que sigan dudando de si es o no él pueden buscar el video musical de the magic of the wizards dream o buscar en wikipedia), los solos, las voces de los demonios, sus cambios desde pacifico a violento y ese último "again" son algunas de las cosas por las que creo que esta canción llegó a una perfección impresionante, incluso me ha llegado a hacer soltar unas lagrimas en el final de la canción.

+Andrés Gabriel Romero Arellano Gracias (y)
Ojalá hagan pelis de ambas sagas, tanto emerald sword como de the dark secret

So beautiful, the ending of the saga... of an age... of the best story line music could ever give us. Rhapsody of Fire, please never stop doing this beautiful, amazing music we all love.
One of the best songs ever. RIP Christopher Lee, and God bless you for singing with an epic band.
This is art, a song that vecomes one with your heart. I felt like I was living it.
from 16:55 to the end... Most epic thing ever.
longest Metal song I have ever heard love it.
This piece reminds me of Beethoven's piano sonata Op.2 no 1 - 4th movement. Especially the chorus: 5:17
The intro of "Tempesta Di Fuoco" and the melody of the chorus of "Heroes Of The Waterfall's Kingdom" Were taken from Beethoven's Piano Sonata N.1 Op.2, 4th Movement
When the chorus goes acoustic its absolutely breathtaking! So epic and stunning, LOVE IT!
The Chorus is so epic. I am stunned by how Rhapsody Of Fire sounds different than their previous albums even though people expect something similar to the previous albums. I love how they transition their music. It's like experiencing evolution for the ears of us fans. I will never regret buying and receiving the mailorder edition. Now that I have a disc without vocals, I can sing the songs, but I'm sure I will never sound as awesome as the great Fabio Lione
This music makes me longingly nostalgic, especially the ending. Makes me want to delve into fantasy more fully than I ever did before :)
MANLY TEARS
I know that feel bro
Same
The definition of epic music: when the intro longer than entire songs ends but the track is barely 1/4 through..
I just ran a competition of 10.8 km, this was the last song. I stopped and he said... The moment has come, we must hurry... hilarious :D but a little too late :p great song love the story telling in this song :D
This song is breathtaking...
That is absolutely the most killer ending of ANY song or ANY album I've heard. Especially the choirs with the strings and guitars.. wow, just sends shivers down your spine. :o
I think I've replayed this song something like 5 times today.
Do I have to worry?
yes. your still not metal enough. keep playing it...lol
How many dragons did you slay this week? Less than five? Keep listening!
Ottaviano Augusto I've replayed this song 30 times. Don't worry.
Man that D&D campaign was intense
LOL two years ago i saw a live of Fabio Lione in my little country. He was about 1 m from me. He has really a good voice.
This deserves the best videoclip ever invented by man.
music? this is not music... this is art
IN BETWEEN AMAZING LAKES

Imagina só? Tem tudo pra ser um filme, seria muito bom mesmo.
Someone knows if Turilli can do sweeps?
Just took a shower to this and it was the most epic shower I've experienced.
Incredibile epilogo!
-- Mi inchino ai maestosi Rhapsody --
I play the piano since 4 years old, im now 25, and this is a masterpiece of all the times, im sure that if the great composers of old times, were alive, would be big rock stars, like Rhapsody =)
Pure brilliance...... another their OPUS MAGNUM !
My ears are honored by listening such a wonder !
I bow down before you, beloved Rhapsody, forever !
This song is fantastic. I can't wait for the next album.

And breathtaking waterfalls
Valiant heroes found their fate
Rode and faced the black storm
In the fury of the wind
At the hardest clash of steel
Valiant heroes raised their sword
For the sake of the world
Wow this is really emotive. If you are a Rhapsody follower you know what i mean. Simply amazing, unique in their lyrics. Thank you Rhapsody for making such an incredible story and awesome music!!
Questa non è musica ma poesia. Li ascolto da una vita e ne vado fierissimo.
@TheHuntress144
He is Sir Christopher Lee
this song is so epic, i always listen to it before i fall asleep, its so relaxing :P
I just noticed they're incorporating growls now in small portions, love it!
This should totally be a movie. Peter Jackson directs, Christopher Lee narrates, Rhapsody of Fire does soundtrack (obviously). Would be so epic!
@Hazelminker "Gargoyles, Angels of Darkness" is actually 19:02 long, whereas this one is 19:38 long, making it the longest Rhapsody song ever, if you do not count "The Cold Embrace of Fear" EP as one big song.
Mystic prophecy? 22 min
is a beautiful song
with this song i remember the new saga begin you know
is a good song very good
Meravigliosa!!!!!!! ti riappacifica con te stesso questa canzone, e ti fa apprezzare davvero la natura.
Beethoven Piano Sonata #1 In F Minor, Op. 2, Fourth Movement. Prestissimo by Daniel Barenboim ;)
Theocracy's title track off their second album (the cover art is my profile picture), Mirror of Souls, is a killer track that clocks in at almost 23 minutes long. :)
@donlucx Fortunatly, Luca stated in a interview that they won't be giving up on fantasy topics, as that always defined Rhapsody. He also went on about mythology, sci-fi, (Think Luca's Prophet of the Last Eclipse.) and Medieval subjects. I doubt another saga will be made, but I hardly seeing them changing drastically.
Simplemente.... HERMOSA.
If you's understand what Lione is saying you would laugh your ass out XD it doesn't mean anything!! but still sooooooooo epic!
ECCO PER COSA DOBBIAMO ANDARE FIERI NOI ITALIANI, PER GRUPPI COME QUESTI!!! LONG LIFE RHAPSODY OF FIRE!! \,,\
dont know if anyone has realised, but the main verse (5:16) and other parts in the song are based on Beethovens first sonata, 4th movement
@Sazalamel1 You need the booklet to understand it all. There's a whole story behind this song : the war of the people of the Enchanted Lands against the demons from the Northern lands, the eclipse, Iras, Dargor, Etherus and Lothen hurrying to place the eyes on the statue and Thanor (well, that's in the song but not totally), Etherus' sacrifice, Dargor changing his mind upon the will of Erian... the whole ending is missing. You have to read it all to understand...!
one of the things i most like of the Italians (Rhapsody) is that they can took extracts or some structures from classical repertoire or the texts from misae or dies irae but they don't pretend to do a metal version copy of them like other bands do (shitting the real scores of the works), they only use them as part of their own compositions!!!!
Yes, this is an epic storyline thing. Yes, it's really, really loud. Yes, it deserves it's own mini movie.
But the thing that made me laugh was the fact that the melody of 4th movement of Beethoven's Sonata in F minor, Op. 2 No. 1 is featured at 7:15 and towards the end 14:22.
Thank Beethoven for my view of the video, because that's how I found this song.
okay i'll look into that. thanx I love finding "new" bands I never heard of.
dreamtheater and moonsorrow are awsome but rhapsody of fire is the ultimate epicness ive seen them lived and i cried of happiness.
No Harry Potter, nor anything else far better than it deserves to have its music written by Rhapsody of Fire itself.
Best 19 minute song ever
A song with saruman speaking in the beginning has to be epic XD
@barthomero721 As I said it : "Gargoyles, Angels of Darkness" is actually 19:02 long, whereas this one is 19:38 long, making it the longest Rhapsody song ever, if you do not count "The Cold Embrace of Fear" EP as one big song.
Same here. I can't wait for the reissue of their debut album. The Serpent's Kiss and The Victory Dance are amazing enough already, but with real drums and remastered audio, the album will be killer!
A dude saying "This is not music, this is art", then an other one reply "music is art, lol".
I've seen this on almost every rhapsody of fire videos
the best possible ending to one of the greatest stories ever told!
'Look at Thanor....look!
He's flying and farting through the battlefield!
Algo alcanzo a entender.. Una letra muy bonita.. El espiritu del bosque la madre naturelaza.
that is Christopher Lee (saruman). he also sings in "the magic of the wizard's dream"
I didn't know that this disc had such great songs!!! Amazing! :)
What about another Rhapsody song? "The Dark Prophecy of the Demon Knight," when listened to properly, that is, immediately followed by "Dark Reign of Fire," is 23 minutes 43 seconds.
This is like a song made out of songs... it's truly a masterpiece.
Proud of my Italian orign xd!!!!
It's simply unbelievable. This music (and band) makes it seem that every other band is a joke. Incredibly Épic. Never in all my life i thought i would come to hear a song of that level. THAT is Art. The rest is bullshit.
It's both art and music, the only difference between this and nearly every other modern artist is that most modern artists are entertainers, not musicians :-)
buona musica e grande suono
Why this video isn't looped ? It's too good for my ears !
I cant endure more then 19:40 minutes of this video not a second more !!
the most epic song in the universe
long live ROF
long live Luca
long live Alex
long live Fabio
yes, it has a little bit of spanish, but it has more italian (italian was one of the roots of spanish, so it can be similar in some words)
OMG I FUCKING LOVE THIS SONG!!!!!
@Nicanor95 Nope, italian is not a root of spanish. Both italian and spanish were born from the latin, though their differences came because while the goths invaded Italy, visigoths did the same in Spain (and they both had different languages). That's why italian and spanish are brother languages, they are from the latin family.
Stupenda!!!
@FonsieFilms this deserves a movie itself!\m/
This is such a wonderful epik song!
This song makes the world a better place...
Las santas palabras de Erian
Fueron llenos del poder de los ángeles
Su significado tan claro como el flujo de brillantes
Se habló de la última de las guerras primordial
Y, por el momento en que Thanor, el dragón negro
Se volvió contra Nekron ...
Y revelead a los ángeles el lugar donde se escondía
Cuando el hijo impío de Kron descubierto este
Su rabia agrietada de la Tierra
Impresionante como se termino la saga
"Un dios de la luz cósmica se respira en la tierra... otra vez''
que gran final ....aguante rhapsody
GOD BLESS RHAPSODY OF FIRE
...
This world will never be free again, only the legendary warrior of ice can finish what started, reborn again mighty warrior..
Hills, rivers and lakes call his lohy name!
@ceccherina I think it's the names of the heroes, if I'm not mistaken.
I hear the band disbanded after this album, if that's true... what a damn fine grand finale.
@melindastrassekonig Yes they have said that this is only the end of the Emerald Saga and they are about to make a new saga (without Christopher Lee unfortunately)
Uma obra de arte épica e bélissima! Longa vida ao Rhapsody Of Fire!
@Zyborggian It's pretty sparingly used. It only appears on this album, and as far as I know only in The Mystic Prophecy of the Demon Knight elsewhere.
The music is an art.
This is a record actually worth buying.
GLORIA PERPETUA !!!!!!!!
Oh man, this and Symphony X's Iconoclast are tied for my Album of the Year 2011
@Liquidsoulifyty No, it sucks to have a song split into parts...
So awesome. Especially the ending! Just wow. They should have commissioned Rhapsody to write the Harry Potter Soundtrack or something!
@Sazalamel1 Yeah I think there a website around here that explains the whole story. I had to read the whole story made by Luca Turilli to understand the lyrics better. They aren't just any random lyrics.
