THE MOON

On a rock like a tree
The one-eyed figure stands
Dauntlessly time and again
Breaking the salty wave

I guard this mountain
You circle me in the night

If you bow to the eye of stone
You’ll hear a distant song
A story carried by the restless wind
Forevermore

The subdued silence of your lips
It commands only me
Unwavering my sinewy frame
The cold night it will endure

On this towering mountain
Your love even higher above
If you bow to the eye of stone
You’ll hear a distant song
A story carried by the restless wind
Forevermore

If you bow to the eye of stone
You’ll hear a distant song
A story carried by the restless wind
Forevermore

If you bow to the eye of stone
You’ll hear a distant song
A story carried by the restless wind
Forevermore

You’re the moon
You’re my light
You’re the moon
My guiding light

I guard this mountain
On a rock like a tree
I guard this mountain

Music: Kallio

[AndyD]

Can we all agree that Tomi Joutsen is an absolute beast of a singer and is massively underrated?

[NoaGruman]

So honored to be featured in this beautiful song (and album)! Always a pleasure to work with Amorphis <3

[Mr._Lister_The_Sister_Phister]

One of the greatest metal bands of all time, to be sure.

[MilukoMoon]

Ever since my dad recommended this bands music, I’ve been so obsessed I could barely stop listening! Dad even ordered me a t-shirt of Amorphis! I’ll be honored to follow my dads metal music path!

[manulogiudice]

This song is definitely a grower, the more you listen to it the more you love it

[carlospeca]

"You´re the moon, you are my " makes my hair stand on end.

[chrissmilich]

These men never slide backwards, they never slow down. They never put out anything thats mediocre...Amorphis always writes & plays amazing metal. They have never compromised their style & it just keeps getting more refined every album

[mlakota]

Been listening to Amorphis for more than 20 years, it's incredible how many great songs they recorded. This one is a banger.

[jamilaandersson]

This Song Is So Beautiful Emotional and Powerful.. It's a Love Song and it's so athmosferic and catchy and say tell how Amorphis sounds in 2022...They Are Killer Metal Masters

[sjoerdkierkels]

This is probably the best 2022 song released

[analovemetal]

I hope the band will come to Rio de Janeiro this time. Love you!

[vladgutierrez]

Amorphis just never disappoints. I fucking love this band forever. 🖤

[artemis]

After 12 years you are finally coming to Greece!!! Can't wait to see and listen to you guys it's gonna be a great night! 🤘❤️🇫🇮🇬🇷

[jaakkosuninen]

You who listen this song and think this is absolutely amazing. Do know that you have great taste of music and you can feel something beyond what words can describe.

[rytkosenjussi]

Wow this band is getting popular more and more when hits like this keep on coming. Proud to be finnish again! 🇫🇮🇫🇮🤘🏻🤘🏻

[salome-wkre]

I was at the concert here in Spain 2 days ago and it was PERFECT, even better than I imagined

[CaffeineNightOwl]

this sounds cool and progressive, but epic and majestic too. love this band.

[moshweib]

Release on my Birthday...Thank you Amorphis 🙏 that will be the best gift

[Eluarelon]

Everytime Esa starts playing, I'm drawn in immediately. He isn't just playing the guitar, he's creating magic with it. And then they surprised me with Tomi's growls (with the intro, I was expecting clean vocals throughout the song). Great song overall, and at the end I sat here with goosebumps. And as usual, I love the lyrics (kudos and thanks to Pekka Kainulainen for being such an integral part of the Amorphis universe).

[corvuscornix]

Stary jestem jak Amorphis..Podoba mi się.
