Sacrament Of Wilderness

Naked in midwinter magic
Lies an angel in the snow
The frozen figure crossed by tracks of wolves
An encounter symbolic yet truthful
With a hungry choir of wolves
An agreement immemorial to be born

Dulcet elvenharps from a dryad forest
Accompany all charming tunes
Of a sacrament by a campfire
A promise between the tameless
And the one with a tool
Tonight the journey from a cave begins

I want to hunt with the tameless heart
I want to learn the wisdom of mountains afar
We will honor the angel in the snow
We will make the streams for our children flow

Wrapped in furs beneath the northern lights
From my cave I watch the land untamed
And wonder if some becoming season
Will make the angel melt in shame

I want to hunt with the tameless heart
I want to learn the wisdom of mountains afar
We will honor the angel in the snow
We will make the streams for our children flow


I cant really think of the reason I love this song so much. I fell in love with it when I heard Anette's version at Wacken 08 and I was really hoping for it at London. It's just the whole Oceanborn feel of it.

Altgough it might be one of my last favorite songs from Oceanborn,I have to love Nettie's version at Wacken 08.It fits

Oh and this is my most misheared NW song,I can't understand even a single word without reading the lyrics

I made myself learn the lyrics for London and then they never played it. On AFF and Oceanborn it's really really hard to understand Tarja.

^Also Wishmaster.I still can't understand the 3rd part of FantasMic

I'm alright with Wishmaster. I listen to it alot more then Oceanborn though so that might be why.

I love SoW to death. I use it to try and get people to listen to NW usually.
