Too soon it came I had to leave my land My mystic woods, the hills and the fields I had to leave my beloved one Couldn’t ride to the forest again My dream I’ll come to you Someday in these years With the wind I will come When you gave up to cry My dear here I swear I’ll appear in the night No one will see me come In the weakest moonlight Last night I saw the silver moon Sleeping in an amber coloured sky I craved but I knew I had to leave When I glanced I swore by my tears When I rode no one saw me crying For a dream I always should live In thoughts I am And with every single step A thought becomes a tear My dream I’ll come to you Someday in these years With the wind I will come When you gave up to cry My dear here I swear I’ll appear in the night No one will see me come In the weakest moonlight

Through night‘s grey veil he rode Accompanied by moon And stars, he found the path The secret tale was true On and on Have faith, be strong And find the place From Ancient Tales The Ancient pathway led to Myriads of tiny sparks In hollow boles they lived To tell from trav’llers‘ hearts On and on You‘d faith, were strong And found the place From Ancient Tales On and on Have faith, be strong To leave this place From Ancient Tales

Licht 02:33
Im Licht eines neuen Tages Werde ich geh‘n Durch die Lande ziehen Jenseits bekannter Pfade Hier Alleine mit Dir Vorbei an manch tiefen Wäldern An Bächen und Seen Die Du einst wirst sehen Güldenes Laub und Felder Grenzenlos Begleiten mich Folge den leisen Stimmen Dem Flüstern des Winds Wenn er sich besinnt Dann denke an meine Worte Du findest mich Am Horizont

Starlit dance - on silvery waves Song of brook - under shadowy leaves Echo of sighs - in branches above Whispers and signs - of two souls crowned with love Leaves will sing and water flow You see - in my eyes what I want, what I love You feel - like you never will swim with the brook You long - for the depths of your water-filled heart You wait - for the touch of your leaves on my face And they hope - one day to be free Liltie elenion - tyelpe falmassen Lire ehteleo - nu lassi luminwa Lama firieo - tara olvassen Lussi ar tengwi - atta fear melmerina Lassi linduvar ar neni siruvar Cenil - hendunyassen man merin man melin Milyal - i fole nen-quanta orelyo Maril - antanyasse lasseyaron appalen Ar estel tessen - auresse te leryaina Felil

There is a child in you That wants to run and hide Watching the sky with you Best thing i can do tonight... I know stories That you’ve never heard before And as autumn leaves a trace Colourful light upon your face Beautiful blue in dancing leaves Won’t you please heal my disease? And it feels like you’re a ghost Nobody sees and no-one knows In your eyes a golden maze When warm and cold embrace Now it’s half past you Flashback of scenes It’s slipping away And so far out of reach
7.
Heaven, heaven Can‘t you hear? I am screaming to the atmosphere No more corners There to hide Will you let me come inside? Open gates Open arms Keep me silent, cool and safe from harm You’re the one Make it true I am coming to an end Let me follow into blue On demand Find me pure Find me new Things will never be the same Open arms for the unseen The Unseen They often asked me In the past Have you ever tried to count the stars? Wooden heart Takes the heat To feed the emptiness inside of me Father, Father Can’t you see? I found divine and pure simplicity You’re the one Make it true I am coming to an end Let me follow into blue On demand Find me pure Find me new Things will never be the same Open arms for the unseen The Unseen Take your time Life‘s too fast To find salvation on this endless path It’s far too late For open ends Embrace the unseen with your naked hands

Life is a one way path To our breath and our deeds There is no coming back If you follow these dreams I have no secret way Of getting all through this But remember, Don’t throw away a kiss Love can’t wait for me and Burning deep Can’t wait for me You can’t always Get what you want But the things turn right When you’re true to your heart Love can’t wait for me And burning deep Can’t wait for me Below your feet Stars shine through the trees Below your feet

You think it’s time again And now we’re here again Just to follow a new way And somehow I think of an angel And somehow it seems too dark That’s when The night has come To break it all To pass the dawn The night has come To change it all All winds should come The sky was too dark this day The fog seems to grow And somehow I am leaving some angels And somehow I’m afraid of the wind… The night has come To break it all To pass the dawn The night has come To change it all All winds should come And it’s so quiet now We can see the stars No wind no voices here It’s time to search our home? You know it there behind the hills And always I dreamt of that place The night has come To break it all To pass the dawn The night has come To change it all All winds should come

Through the eyes of a dreamer She can watch herself Being one with mankind But she had never been Through the eyes of a fool She can watch herself Spending time with dreaming Cause there’s no time within With the eyes of a mantis She is coming close With a kiss to remember To give the overdose Come and take my place See how you look in blue Step into the maze Of jigsaw and clue The mirror of eyes Is leading your way There’s silence and sighs In the end ... In the end Two strangers will stay Through the eyes of a lover She can watch herself Summer raindrops just falling Touch her naked skin Through the eyes of a stranger She can watch herself Moist skin as a reprile Living for the sin With the eyes of a mantis She is coming close With a kiss to remember To give the overdose Witness the play of the circles of rain Dropping from leaves into rivers and lakes Silvery water is here to be pure Heaven is open to send me a cure Strangers are coming and strangers will go Give you the gift of new wings to unfold Distance is shrinking between you and me When we connect our minds to be free Open your eyes Open your arms Open your eyes Open your arms

Black is the colour of my true love's hair. His lips are like some roses fair. He has the sweetest smile and the gentlest hands, I love the ground whereon he stands. I love my love and well he knows. I love the ground whereon he goes. I wish the day it soon would come, When he and I could be as one. I go to the Clyde and I mourn and weep. For satisfied I ne'er can be. I write him a letter, just a few short lines, And suffer death a thousand times.
16.
And one day We'll find the star And both of us Will fly away You look at me Don't speak a word Your eyes so pure Offer a light The light of all truth A perfect flame I kiss the air That surrounds you And all I know 'S that you are there My brightest star The star I love Soon will fall All golden tears We feel the truth The warmest light Come to me my star Come to me my star Come to me my star Come to me my star
17.
Golden Lace 04:30
Come to me, don't fear, love For I'll never leave you Go to sleep, don't fear the cold 'cause it won't last for long And I'll be at your side Winds might blow and shadow play Cold winter's song for us But springtime's golden lace will come Sun again will fill our hearts What we thought we lost comes home Rain wash away our fears and grief tonight
18.
So alone far away They met once in the gale Blind for rain for the way and the aim And the wind surrounding them Not a word passed their lips In the gale in that Glenvore's night Oh your eyes shine so bright Like the stars above your head Never seen them smiling so bright Come with me to my land Where the tales will never die Come with me oh my sad looking man And they moved throug the woods Where the ancient stones will be On the path to the precious green And they passed Armagh's trees Thousand hills to be free In the gale under the starry sky Oh your eyes shine so bright... She once glanced Took her cape And their eyes shone so bright Their eyes became one With lunnight

about

"ELANEs music is hard to forget" Zillo Magazine (Album of the Month)

“A major progression.“ Musical Discoveries

"It casts a spell over you and there's no escape!" Sam Rosenthal

„Folge den leisen Stimmen / Follow the silent voices
Dem Flüstern des Winds / the whispering of the wind
Wenn er sich besinnt / when it’s calming down
Dann denke an meine Worte / remember my words then“
(Excerpt of the song „Licht“)

The silent voices are becoming louder...

Quiet tunes, warm mooded sounds and a strongly fantastic atmosphere characterized ELANE’s debut album „The Fire of Glenvore“ (2004). With the „Love can’t wait“ e.p. they bulit a musical bridge from their debut to their forthcoming second longplay CD „Lore of Nén“.

„Lore of Nén“ is full of energy. A powerful, mighty orchestral sound marks the first notes. Then retreating into a familiar, atmospheric vocal ambience just to let the whitecaps dance again, as heard on „Journey“, the prelude to a new adventure trip through the enchanted landscapes of ELANE’s fantastic world.
A departure into another Land, leaving home... not only in „The Night I left“, also in the real world ELANE had to take leave. Lead singer Joran leaves the beloved Sour Lands on Autumn 2005 and moves southwards. Thus many of the „Lore of Nén“ songs are marked by yearning and the search for a new home, but also wanderlust.

What is the meaning of „Lore of Nén“? It’s a saga. „Nén“ is the Quenya* word for „Water“. „The Saga of Water“, you could also say. Linking both languages, English and Quenya, shows you that ELANE also strike new paths on a linguistic level. So far, all ELANE song lyrics had been written in English, there are also German and Quenya elements in „Lore of Nén“. E.g. „Licht“ („Light“) and „Nen ar Tasar [You see]“ („Water and Willow“).

Also the soprano voice of guest musicial Neniel Tindómerel lifts ELANE’s music onto yet another level. ELANE – „Lore of Nén“: An intensive and mystic album with lots of new melodies, secrets, sounds and adventures.
