Moonsorrow - Jumalten Kaupunki [Music Video]

From "Kivenkantaja" 2003

Tuon laakson pohjalla
Taivaiden tornien ympäröimänä.
Joet vilkkaat risteävät
Aikaa ammoista kuljettaen.

Saattue pysähtyy
Lämpimään sateeseen.
Jossain kaukaisuudessa
Pronssitorvi soi - kuunnelkaa!

Tie aukenee laaksoon,
Vedet ain' virtaa alaspäin.
Ikuisuuteen aika vie,
Kultaiseen taloon jumalten.

Ukkonen valaisee
Seinämät vuorten jylhien.
Vesi rummuttaa kattoa metsän
Sen kansaa raviten.

Tuhannen vuotta kulunut kai
On siitä kun täältä lähdimme.
Vihdoin olemme kotona
Kaupungissa ikuisten.

Tie aukenee laaksoon,
Vedet ain' virtaa alaspäin.
Ikuisuuteen aika vie,
Kultaiseen taloon jumalten.

Puisen pöydän äärellä
Esi-isät juhlivat.
Sirpaleissa rikotun lumouksen
Jalat veressä tanssien.

Vesi kadonneen järvenselän
Iäisyydessä lepää.
Heikko pinta peilityyni väreilee
Vain kosketuksesta ihmisen.

Tuhannen vuotta ja
Veljet toisensa pettävät.
Niin jumalten kaupungin
Kauneus edessämme katoaa.

one of the best song from Moonsorrow...my opinion

[choppergoro]

Songs like these deserve $300 headphones

[edwardsakkinen]

As a finn i must say this should be a national anthem of Finland

[Zaragil]

Keep coming back to this video because of Ville's bass... I have the same one, Samick LB-11, but in black. When I bought mine (second hand) around 15 years ago I was shocked to see it in this video (as a Moonsorrow fan, you can imagine) and I went to the Moonsorrow forum and asked Ville if it's possible that we have the same bass. He said that yeah, it's the same one, and the price seems about right (around 100 Euro). He said he played it on their first 3 albums and toured with it, and when he bought a Warwick he converted this one to fretless and it can still be heard on Havitetty. Sure enough, I'm still playing mine. No touring but I recorded a dozen releases with it, and it still looks and works as good as on day one. One of those things in life when you just get lucky.

This music just fills you with power, I love to listen to this song while on the gym. And some other folk/viking/power metal classics!!

[penguincamp]

I'm surprised early Moonsorrow even has music videos at all.

[lights]

NO, NO and NO...the best parts of the song are cut out :(...Let Moonsorrow be Moonsorrow, 15 minute epics are fantastic in the morning on my way to work.

[GoldenGateNum]

*So beautiful & euphoric, also reminds me of early Catamenia. This album kinda makes me think of what it might sound like if Ride The Lightning crossed Hammerheart.*

[ivanblack]

The best finnish Epic Black pagan metal band ....period

[Ostsol]

Interesting imagery. It's not terribly well known, but the Baltics and Finland are where Sweden and some Germans decided to go Crusading. The Holy Land was far away, after all, and there were much nearer pagans that they thought needed to be tamed.

[francescowolfskin]

Total support from Italy, Eternal Glory of the Pagan Europe 🇫🇮🤝🏻🇮🇹

[LaguzLake]

After all the 20 years still my fave ^^

[samm]

Awesome .. Moonsorrow never disappoints .. Hails from Pakistan

[gilleslebrun]

As far i am French 🇨🇵 ! I love Finnish metal ! Kiitos ! 🇫🇮

[mininamiaur]

Con esta canción me enamoré de Moonsorrow hace unos años, una lástima no haberlos podido ver en México. Los esperaba con tanta ilusión 💔

[reignofterrorzion]

great song! period! Finland kicks some serious butt! wish I could see them live! Have they ever played in the N.Y.State area over the past20 years since they have been around!

[yhasmanybarrozo]

Este tema me transporta a otra dimensión, brutal Moonsorrow ..!

[NewWorldFungus]

These guy exist amongst planetary proportions

[nescaudrummer]

That's why I genuinely want to learn Finnish

[blkmtlstv]

Why haven't I heard about this band ? I even worked in an underground metal music store 20 years ago. Metal Haven in Chicago.
