I didn't want to repeat the old, nor copy what we already have done. When I heard Tomi's final vocal parts, I realized that "Light and Shadow" is the perfect starter for getting to know Amorphis' „Borderland" album!" - Santeri Kallio 🎧 Stream, get it here: https://amorphis.rpm.link/lightandsha... ▶ FOLLOW @REIGNING PHOENIX MUSIC 🛒 EU: https://shopeu.reigningphoenixmusic.com 🛒 US: https://shopus.reigningphoenixmusic.com 🛒 UK: https://reigningphoenixmusic.omerch.com Web https://www.reigningphoenixmusic.com YouTube https://rpm.link/YTsub Instagram https://rpm.link/instagram Facebook https://rpm.link/facebook X https://rpm.link/twitter TikTok https://rpm.link/tiktok Spotify https://rpm.link/spotify ▶ FOLLOW @AMORPHIS https://www.amorphis.net https://www.facebook.com/amorphis https://www.instagram.com/amorphisband https://www.tiktok.com/@amorphisband Music by Santeri Kallio Lyrics by Pekka Kainulainen Recorded, mixed & mastered by Jacob Hansen at Hansen Studios, Denmark Video produced by Ingo Spoerl / Omni Sensus Media AMORPHIS are: Tomi Joutsen - Vocals Esa Holopainen - Lead Guitar Tomi Koivusaari - Rhythm Guitar Santeri Kallio - Keyboards Olli-Pekka Laine - Bass Jan Rechberger - Drums Lyrics: Kneeling by the side of a stream I bowed to the clear waters Shadows danced in the deep Sparkle of gold on the surface The brook babbled and shone As light and shadow slithered I spread my arms and clenched my fists I listened and I closed my eyes To recognize the balance I recalled the words of ancient seers The council of the dead The advice of the living I raised my hands, unclenched my fists The shadow slithered away Dazzling in its shining green A living tree was drawn With specks of light and streaks of shadow Seizing the light in my hand I weighed the shadow in another Heavy as a mountain they were Each lighter than a feather I spread my arms and clenched my fists I listened and I closed my eyes To recognize the balance I recalled the words of ancient seers The council of the dead The advice of the living I raised my hands, unclenched my fists The shadow slithered away Rising up to stand once more So tiny under the great trees I spied the treetops high above The meander of their branches I spread my arms and clenched my fists I listened and I closed my eyes To recognize the balance I recalled the words of ancient seers The council of the dead The advice of the living The light took wing and flew The shadow slithered away #amorphis #lightandshadow #borderland #darkmetal #finnishmetal
