LYRICS:
Honor
It’s easy to dispose
In this darkest hour
We’re alone
From behind closed doors
It aims for her
Magic’s reaching out
To draw her in
To the eye of the storm
The storm
Get her out of the way
She is your destiny
Now better hide
When chaos breaks loose
Chaos’s breaking loose
Just take her away
Stay silent
Just take her away
No matter
The poet lied
The poet lied
The poet lied
To save her life
Queen
Follow the sign
Share our sorrows
Clear your mind
Despite the writing on the wall
Hope grows from now on
For our brotherhood stands strong
Queen, follow the sign
Blood of the elves
Predestined child
There’s danger
When everything’s at stake here
It follows
Wherever you may roam
Well, then at last
There’s a choice
A path
Dedicate yourself
To the innocent
All praise to her
In glory
Gracious lioness
Elven seed
Horror, come to meet me
I’m here to erase thee
Black or white, just pay me
In between there hardly is a line
Black
White
Black
White
White Wolf
The source inside her
It’s not a shallow river
It can’t grow wild
It’s hard to bind
It can’t grow wild
We need advice
Queen
Follow the sign
Share our sorrows
Clear your mind
Despite the writing on the wall
Hope grows from now on
For our brotherhood stands strong
Queen, follow the sign
Blood of the elves
Predestined child
I tell you
Consider you are wrong here
I tell you
There’s more than meets the eye
Your secret rites
Fools, you better think twice
Tribulation’s caused by your ignorance
The world it bleeds
Ignore its cries
But soon there is a path to choose
Queen
Follow the sign
Share our sorrows
Clear your mind
Despite the writing on the wall
Hope grows from now on
For our brotherhood stands strong
Queen, follow the sign
Blood of the elves
Predestined child
The hill will claim you
Keep on running
Your name’s engraved
You know it’s true
Yes, death has cold blue eyes
Die
Die
Time to die

A song based on the first Witcher book AND its a speedy thrashy song?!
HELL YES.
Wasn't blood of the elves the third one?
@@tiaggroalcantara3551 Yes and no - yes, it was written as a third and kinda no, as it was the first of the Witcher Saga, first two books being a collection of short stories written over like, 10 years or so.
I like this song but the rest of the album is meh. Beyond the red door album was so much better.
@@jeffwolfplays0513 Agreed. At the Edge of Time and Beyond the Red Mirror were both better. The songs on this album all sound very samey.
@@charlesajones77 Disagree. God Machine is the most solid they've been for three albums!!
Blind Guardian + The Witcher = Perfection!
Hansi might have lost the hair and the bass, but he has NEVER lost that voice... simply amazing!!! \m/
all 100 tracks of him right? ;(
rip hair
unpopular opinion: I like his new hair better.
Lol "lost the bass" 🤣🤣🤣😅🤣
But has lost much respect because of his comments in the last 2 years
Blind Guardian has been one of my favourite bands since I was 17, and they’re still going strong.
Holy crap Blind Guardian just doesn't age! It's absolutely incredible how they can still make something this intense! Also, FINALLY THEY MAKE A SONG ABOUT THE WITCHER!
We had a blast directing & producing this 😎✌🏻
I had a blast watching it. Thank you. Hopefully each song on this album has a video from you
the lighting is siiiiiiiiiick. and i love that you went with the 2.39:1~ aspect ratio!
I was gonna ask if the album art was projected, but I can see that it's overlayed in post (i think haha)
@@briandougherty9110 Thank you! Actually we were trying out the projection of the album art during shooting it but then decided to do in the post production for more possibilities, Which has been a better option :)
@@improviseandtheguitars5859 Thank you! Let's see ;)
Great job as always 👏🤘
Blind Guardian and Elves… you know its gonna be hype
blind guardian and the witcher, to be exact
@@thescream1868 OY WITCHA
BG and TW, is there any way that this could be possibly more epic?
@@efxnews4776 only if we get m o r e
@@5epraf I think is the only song about The witcher in the whole album
I felt a “Somewhere far Beyond” vibe in this sound and that’s amazing. This song would’ve fit perfectly on that record.
it is because of the background chorus and the guitar sound that is clear again, remembering Queen’s tone. It misses melody but i am happier now with this revival! The “cool” and unlyric melodic remembers the first just albums, and principally Follow the Blind, the most 🤘 , but still very especial for me. It was my Lord of the Rings ST ;) The mix is flawless transparent. but fits good and has clear vocal line. Way better than Iron’s last album
But for me Blind’s best is their melodic, this should be otherworldly folk music on hysteroids, and Somewhere Far Beyond hits hard in the heart with this.
I suggest you all the Elden Ring ST
@@emanuel_soundtrack I couldn’t agree more! I love FromSoftware videogames, their OSTs are always brilliant, especially Bloodborne, my favorite one. I’ll pay attention to your suggestion on Elden Ring OST. Thanks!
@@williantagliari9421 i got to know this only recently while researching about what games are doin todayl and got mind blowed. Normaly i dont like this what most call "epic", like block orchestration with poor harmony.... I mention the music of Alex Mukala (who should definetely work with BLind ....) But in this case it is truly of our time, modern, medieval, welll made, carrrefully loved, and possibly concert music as well. IN these sense of the video i did about epic. SO i got happy with this, and the flaws are understandable ( no woodwinds, shy choir climaxes, lack of punch in the mix). About the mix i guess they wanted something very soft, to not annoy after a long play. NOw as normal hearing experience it misses a lot of kicks and sounds overcompressed in the (huge monumental) climaxes. Anyway a source of inspiritation and reference for me, for my own compositions for game! Loved the monument and share them proudly
Dude so did I!
That was the record to introduce me to Blind Guardian in high school and I never looked back.
Sehr geiler Refrain! Schön, dass ihr wieder am Start seid! 🤘
Hääännoooo 🤘
Korrekt Alla.
Ehre Herr Präsident!
Der Hänno auch hier. Zufall, dass das erste Wort in den Lyrics Ehre ist ?
Hast guten Geschmack 😎
The power of this man's voice feels intact through the years. It gives me energy, great song 🖤.
Man, Hansi never fails to bring absolutely BRILLIANT performances every time. I mean, the entire band is insane but there is something about this mans voice that's just absolute class.
As a dwarf, you have my attention
The best Blind Guardian song in some time to me! Great!
I expect Thomen regrets leaving the band at this point. This is exactly the sort of thing he said he wanted more of.
Yep
Holy shit, it's weird seeing a Blind Guardian video with a bass player.
Blind Guardian once again proves why they're the nerdiest power metal band out there. And it is GLORIOUS.
I more and more start to believe this is going to be the heaviest album at least since Imaginations. And without suffering even an ounce of epicness.
I don't know if "heaviest" is the word I'd use, but I feel what you mean 🤘
I think people forget that BG always had fast and heavy songs in all their albums. Maybe is the way the mix is done here that feels different.
BTW, the songs are actually shorter this time around.
We wanna it HEAVY ! yeah long life to BG, unique band in the metal scene, legends !!!
What’s a good album to start with. First time listening to BG
@@Nall412 If you like this tune Somewhere Far Beyond is a good album to start.
Love the speed metal roots coming thru in some of these songs. Shaping up to be a damn good album
Admirers of Blind Guardian's faster, heavier phase (like myself) thank the band for finally putting a little more fury and a little less "pomp" into their music. So far it seems to me that the new album will be really good.
Well, IMHO every album from them is amazing, but we always believe the true BG essence is in the speed. So great to see those guys recovering that essence.
I like a mix between the two and this album is promising that!
@@mikeprado30 Yes, in the speed and aggressiveness, something that forged the band's fan base, I think that even in "Nightfall in the Middle Earth" the band still had a lot of these characteristics, despite being a more balanced album between aggressiveness and progressiveness, from from then on, speed and aggression were left a bit aside, with the exception of At the Edge of Time, which still had really furious moments. We'll see what The God Machine will bring, but so far I've liked the heavier approach of the new songs.
@@artsnow3152 "from from then on, speed and aggression were left a bit aside"
That's not true. They never stopped releasing aggressive and fast songs. ANATO has bangers like Battelfield, Under The Ice and Punishment Divine. In the record At The Edge Of Time even their epic song Wheel Of time has very fat and Thrashy riffs. BTRM has The Holy Grail, Sacred MInd.
They always has two or more songs like this one in each album.
I don't see a problem with either but i definitely like the more balanced BG.
HYPE HYPE HYPE!!!!
Haaaaaansi, Eternal voice of Thunder 🤘🏽 🇧🇷
Fantastic!
A masterpiece!
I loved it a lot this new song
Hansi's voice remains intact over time 😃
The less hair Hansi has, the more powerful his voice is.
Astonishing! This song reminds me “Somewhere far beyond””Imagination from other side” era.
Blind Guardian being Blind Guardian.
I just discovered this band, wow. Gonna be a fun trip down discography lane.
You are in for a treat!! Enjoy.
What a journey ahead...
You gonna ENJOY!! Believe me. Countless of masterpieces along the way!
On track to be the best album since Nightfall
This is the most metal power metal can ever fucking be. SUCH A BLAST!!!
Fcking amazing guys, the Blind Guardian is more alive than ever! Can't wait to see this live.
Hansi sounds amazing, as always!! Can’t wait to hear more from this new album!! 🖤
Eine der beiden Bands, die mich damals zum Metal gebracht haben.. Und sie haben es immernoch drauf. Sehr geil!
This track definitely needs to be in TW4, I hope CDPR is playing attention to this...
This song has more to do with The Witcher than the entirety of s02! Blind Guardian never disappoint!
I am a huge Elric fan!
Netflix adaptation is shit. Unlike this song, which is really cool!
agreed :D
yawn the blood of the elves is blood that is spilled all over the world when they cut our very own heart of our forestes for how cruel and dumb they are , i would rather starve to death then cut a tree down and beside they dont make plans for the future or live in harmony with nature along their plans for the future I and the dryads damn them to hell
iam to angry to enjoy the song sorry
Пройдут недели, месяца, года, но Blind Guardian не разлюблю я никогда!!!!! BG группа всей моей жизни!!!!
This song is pure vintage Blind Guardian. Such bad assery doesn't show itself often.
"Deliver Us From Evil" took me a few listens, but I grew to really like it. "Secrets of the American Gods" I got into a bit more quickly. But this song IMMEDIATELY grabbed me. I'm definitely hyped for this album. If it has mostly this kind of energy, it could potentially be their best since A Night at the Opera.
Tides of War & Into the Storm would like to disagree with you
I got hit hard by that classic guitar sound during the solos. Incredible song, guys. The bards are back!
I love the fact that some bands still try to carry the tradition of HORRIBLY done videoclips in the metal scene!
hahahaha
Na video ser, tady jde přece o Metal!
I am totally addicted to the song but I expected somehow an epic fantasy video with a fighting dark elf queen😂😂😂.
Ciri is human
Finally we have song about Geralt The White Wolf.
COOL!!! RETURN TO GOOD, OLD TIMES. Speed metal made in Blind Guardian, best from the best!!!👍🤘💛💙💪✌
Lately my interests drifted completely into black metal, but my love for Blind Guardian will never die!
I didn't actually watch the video. I just closed my eyes, reveled in the song and watch the video playing in my METALHEAD. 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🎶🎵🎶🎶🎶🎵🎶🎵🎵🎵😁😎
Princess Cirilla of Cintra!
As soon as I started reading the book they released this haha
Clearly one of the best albums of 2022 so far.... great song, awesome Album!
"Just put an overlay layer with an illustration at 50% opacity over the recording and call it a day"
Guardian! Guardian! Guardian of The blind!
This sounds great! Amazing! Back to an era which I thought was gone forever.
Was eine Bombe! Man sieht sich auf dem Rock Hard, Ringträger!
Nach vielen Jahren wo Blind Guardian mich nicht mehr mit ihren neuen Songs gecatched hat und als großer Fan des alten Stils, freue mich riesig. Für mich ist Blind Guardian wieder zurück, darauf habe ich gehofft und gewartet. Super 🙏🙏
Bitte weiter so Jungs!
I have an earworm with this tremendus track, pure and fast power metal of the bards 🤘🤘🔥🔥
so epic, tears on my eyes, like if good old days were back for moments
I have to admit: I am a fan of the bards since always and always appreciated their evolution through the years. I consider Beyond the Red Mirror a masterpiece and LotDL a peak that cannot be repeted by anyone. When this album came out, I was afraid that the loss of their orchestreal-style would have been a step back, but maybe it was I the one not ready for a much more heavy album. Bought it on vinyl and CD to hear every note, it didn't catch me after few listening. But their music is like this, once u hear it over and over, it reminds an old friend who came back to your life after ages of silence. The God Machine geve me all these feelings: songs like this one are incredible peak in the album, and maybe the right concept of music following more orchestral project like the previeus. Damnation, f.e., its an amazyng piece of art (I am a fan of the King Killer Chronicles myself) and a song easy to sing along, fast and powerfull like only the Blind Guardian componment. After many listenings all the album show itself as the perfect creation the bards could give us. Thank you for always giving me differet feelings any time one of your work sees the light. Seems impossible to you dissapoint your audience. Just Incredible. long live the Bards \m/_(^-^)
This is my favourite recent Blind Guardian song, bar none.
Why is nobody mentioning that this is filmed in Anaglyph 3D? The red and cyan borders of the title letters were a dead giveaway, so I grabbed my old red-cyan 3D glasses, and indeed, there are noticeable and interesting 3D effects throughout the video.
So energetic and in-your-face. This album will be killer 🤘🔥🤘
Nice Guardians! Endlich mal wieder der typische Blind Guardian Sound! Für mich war das letzte gute Album A Night at the Opera,danach hat mich nichts mehr so richtig gepackt. Aber die Sachen,die ich bisher vom kommenden Album gehört habe,holen mich wieder zurück ins Boot! Geil!!!
Just Blind Guardian can make a song about elves that sounds heavy as hell! 😆
Amazing song! Loved it.
New bassist is permanent im guessing? Not just for concerts? If you show him in an official video. Its like the first time it happens.
Blood of the Elves is my new favourite song; I can't wait until this whole album is out! ❤
Brilliant chorus, Blind Guardian still at the top.
Classic BG meets the new one.
Amazing!
Hansi Kursch sounds so killer in front of thrashing metal. It's what made me fall in love with BG in the first place.
Oh it's about Ciri. I love it!
I think Blind Guardian might finally start to grow on me, because this song rocks! I love this!
There should be additional 'like' button for masterpieces like this. Blood of the Elves was undying at its birth!!
Holy wow this is incredible.
If you like this than listen to the first 5 BG LP's....
The album artwork is by Peter Mohrbacher, an absolutely wonderful artist that does stuff for MTG and his book series, Angelarium, where this artwork comes from
Oh. I thought. The artist copies Mohrbacher lol lol
All I can say is this probably is the darkest and most haunting and most heaviest album that blind guardians ever done but in a good way and that's hard to do I mean they are changing their style a little bit but they're doing it in a way that all the fans will love and all the new fans would appreciate and yeah this is going to be an epic album for sure.
It sounds like old school to me. Was expecting more.
Nightfall was lot heavier, i mean this isnt that bad but i really wish they'd go back to their old school style
Is the majority of their music still about LOTR?
@@MotionlessKnight not anymore
It’s like the old follow the blind and Tales albums, they’re getting heavier again
Blind Guardian new get old with where music. They are the best
Sounds kinda like painkiller. Thrashy and grindy. Y'all are crazy. I'm in.
No doubt it's the best new song released from their into now, this fucking chorus give me acstasy.
Buenísimos como siempre!!! Con la misma energía de hace 30 años!!! Ustedes son lo máximo!!
This si The "pain killer" of Blind Guardian
Honor, it's easy to dispose
In this darkest hour we're alone
From behind closed doors it aims for her
Magic's reaching out to draw her in
To the eye of the storm
The storm
Get her out of the way, she is your destiny
Now better hide when chaos breaks loose
Chaos's breaking loose
Just take her away, stay silent
Just take her away, no matter
The poet lied (The poet lied)
The poet lied to save her life

We thank you for the lyrics!!!
Copy and paste , hard to do.
Holy silver sword, this is about the Witcher!
@@rocketrod1444 no one claimed that he came up with the lyrics. But I do claim that you are an arshole. People including me found it helpful. Stop being a douchebag
now this has me excited for the new album.
In the role of Geralt of Rivia, the fantastic Marcus Siepen with his beautiful grey hair and his guitar-sword.
In the role of Jaskier (also known as Dandelion), the outstanding Hansi Kürsch, best voice in this world and the others.
In the role of Dijkstra, the fabulous Frederik Ehmke.
André Olbrich? Andrzej f**k*ng Sapkowski!!!!
I think that André is much nicer than Andrzej Sapkowski 😅
Don't insult Andre by comparing him to Sapkowski. He's an absolute douche.
uM acTualLy Geralt's hair is milky white
Also Dandelion is kind of an asshole, I don't think Hansi would make a good Dandelion.
@@gordon13344 dandelion isn't an asshole (in books and games), so the cast still fits
Looking forward to april oslo 2024🤘
Thank you Blind Guardian for coming to visit Norway 🤟
You had me at the title
I'll buy the album for sure.
Really looking forward to this!
Absolute banger of a song this! Highest level Blind Guardian! 🤘
This kind of songs you can easy make once a week...
A song about The Witcher, never realized that this could be a topic for BG songs too. Now they have to make a song about Harry Potter and then I can rest in peace.
The song is a banger btw. I think, the new album will become my new favourite. The mix is so awesome, imo the best of all so far!
How do you know it’s about The Witcher?
@@metalmanny666 Just listen to the lyrics
@@metalmanny666 "White Wolf
The source inside her
It's not a shallow river
It can't grow wild
It's hard to bind
It can't grow wild

And "Blood of the elves, predestined child". It is obviously about Ciri and her powers that are inside her.
@@metalmanny666 Blood of the Elves is literally the title of one of the books of the Witcher series
With that name, I was thinking about another Tolkien's inspired song
Just blow my mind, epic song.
Congrats 👏,i wish to play this song live in Athens soon!!!
A new classic album in horizon
How we’ve missed 💙
Great fast song... but where can I buy this bottle with elf blood?
It is in their online shop
Sir, you can't buy it, you have to get the bottle and the elf... and then...
from ciri
@@Ryuusei_Moon Ryuusei, you diabolical 😁😈
You can win it on their Instagram channel🙂
Sehr gut. Auch wenn ich eure Arbeit immer sehr schätze, egal auf welchem Album, ist genau das der Sound, den ich an euch liebe. Mal wieder ohne viel Pomp und Streicher hier, und Hörner da und Posaunen dort.
Richtig guter Metal. Ihr seit eine lebende Legende.
I can't get enough of this song. one of my favorite songs of all time.
That last scream tho! Not bad from a man in his fifties. Kudos!
This is the real Blind Guardian!!!
is that Johan van Stratum (VUUR, ex-Stream of Passion) on Bass ????
Awesome 🤘😎🤘.
I saw and spoke to him in Wuppertal about 30 years ago. THAT was Blind Guardian.
Blind guardian yeah,, 👍👍👍
Очередной шедевр. Запредельная команда. Лучшие
THIS is how Blind Guardian is SUPPOSED to sound! This harkens back to the old glory days of A Night at the Opera and back. Classic edgy nearly thrashy vibe and the perfect Blind Guardian mix. This NEW song sounds SO FREAKING AMAZING!!! Wow, this sounds like it could be a bonus track on Nightfall in Middle-Earth, that's how ON POINT this band is right here. The fans are going to be VERY PLEASED when we get our hands on the new album.
Tanelorn into the void, Ride Into Obsession, A Voice In the Dark, The Holy Grail and Sacred Mind are also very fast and Thrashy.
"Old Fans" assume that they only had prog and Epic songs with orchestra in the last albums for some reason. I guess that's the reason why they are releasing so many singles now.
I'm an old school fan BTW.
^^^^ This! my first exposure to BG was Imaginations and have loved every single wild ride. Their sound never changed my dudes, it just evolved. The thrash has always been there and I don't understand people who think they are basically just Dream Theatre nowadays (nothing against Dream Theatre, love them too personally). The Bards will never disappoint, trust and ye shall be rewarded!
@@carlosluismendez7392 YES! At the edge of time
Just saw BG in Montreal 05-10-24. And this song stood out in the live set. Absolutely punishing live! Gave me a love for this one. Hansi is still an extremely powerful vocalist! One of the best show's I've ever been to and at 51yrs old have seen my fair share!
