LYRICS:

Divine creations now destroyed
To uncover the haunted atmosphere
Strange visions of the ancient spirits
Travesty of man appears

Coldness and storming winds
Lurking for prey
The forces of the Winter
Reign in dreadful way

There's no escape!

I'm following the mistress of the night
Through the gates of snow we'll fly
We'll fly, we'll fly

Through winter snow
We'll fly

Winter, the realm of eternal ice
Snowfall and darkness descends
Upon the wheels of time

Distant caress of the sun's fading light
The lands were painted white
With the Winter's might

My hands are frozen
My mind is at the edge of madness
Oh how many nights and days
I've been lost in this land of sadness

We're following the mistress of the night
Through the gates of snow we'll fly
We'll fly, we'll fly

Winter, the realm of eternal ice
Snowfall and darkness descends
Upon the wheels of time

Distant caress of the sun's fading light
The lands were painted white
With the Winter's might

From the primitive thoughts
Under the glimmering snow
And burning stones
They'll rise

You don't have to die
You can rule in afterlife
Just concede your soul to me
Your life is cheap, no price

Winter, the realm of eternal ice
Snowfall and darkness descends
Upon the wheels of time

Distant caress of the sun's fading light
The lands were painted white
With the Winter's might

I think it's a good idea to put the song and live video together. Nice job

[LordBaktor]

Best song ever and best guitar solo ever...

[Birtija]

original song and live video... cool :D

[jelenataylor]

He's using a I think I'm in love!!!

[citaloprammg]

this is far beyond awsome makes life worth living

[MrVeneimas]

i think these guys are fantastic just wish they had more songs

[KialraVersus]

@Nannirk Session musicians are called in on a short term basis, used to cover up for someone dropping out etc, and are not really a part of the band. Kai Hahto IS a part of Wintersun.

Hmm, too sharp? The pitch in this YouTube upload is 1/24th octave down and sample rate is 44.1kHz, but it doesn't make any critical difference. I've added a link in the video description for quality HD 720p video with lossless 48kHz audio right after remastering. Sounds excellent to me.

@Nannirk Actualy Kai Hahto did the drums on the album in the studio.

[icee]

@TheNordicMetal Fail? Dude i think you did an awesome vid! :D That's insulting WintersuN

[KialraVersus]

@Nannirk Fair enough. Anyhow, I'm so stoked for Time.

[filipgustaf]

Did you somehow add more tone to the track, or did you just lower the pitch? If so, how did you do that? I honestly think all of your uploads sound better than the originals :)

[hilariousgas]

2:47 is one of the best solos known to humankind

[ChildrenOfBodom]

3.05 - 4.05 best fucking guitar solo EVER

[Allrounder]

@Taschen11 You're quite obviously an absolute genius.

[Jeeeeelo]

Wintersun fucking own!
Vittu Wintersun ounaa!

[Brycee]

@Nannirk

They play live don't they? Jari doesn't do it all himself live, and the lineup has been the same other then a rhythm guitarist swap so I think "Their" is justified.

[KialraVersus]

@Nannirk I'd still call it their album, they're part of the band that created the album. For instance... if a lone norseman was speaking of the land that his fellow warriors had claimed, he would refer to it as 'their land', despite the fact that he had no hand in capturing it, as they are all one under the same banner :)

Anyway, Jari's not a cunt... so if you asked him, he would say 'our album' as opposed to 'my album'.

[KialraVersus]

@Nannirk Search for 'wintersun time' on wikipedia. You're welcome.

Any chance of getting remastered version of sadness and hate?
