Night emerald trees Unfold their leaves Adorning to the glade of Armagh Open the gates The Elves will come in To enlight the dark To defend their land From far beyond Through the darkest glen The knights will come On a blazing path Fight with fire warmth Be one with the night Remember my gift When doubt brings down your heart Open the gates The Elves will come in To enlight the dark To defend their land And dance through the night Until the morning comes Together we stand To defend our land

Elfennacht 03:38
Sahst Du die Sterne verglüh‘n – im Silberwind Wünschst Du die Wege so hell – in finst‘rer Nacht Tanzt Du im Feuer mit mir – so fern ich auch bin Öffnest die Wege zu mir – ahnst Du die Macht Tanze – fühle – eröffne – die Nacht Ich tanz‘ mit Dir – den Nebeltanz – die Nacht so stark Tränen – des Mondes – zeigt eure Macht Des Morgenlichts – das sich erhebt – der Nacht so schwer Wesen, sie eilen zu uns – aus weiter Welt Die Mauern der Feste so hell – aus Flammen gemacht Die Nebel erwecken das Licht – das Tiefen erhellt Du riefst und ich eilte zu Dir – mit Feuermacht Hörst Du die Elfen gar fern so leis‘, so zart Trägst Du die Mächte heut‘ Nacht in guter Tat

Silverleaf 04:13
Here I hold The Silverleaf You once gave me Near the moon A star is closed Into this leaf Is this love Meant for me? Meant for us? Take my kiss My painful love My sad heart It‘s all I have To Dagaz Tears of the moon will Dance with us How weak the luck In my hands I am drawing you With silvery light Which love Is meant for me To come with me To the endless sea
4.
Lost in lonesome woods Was exiled to my darkest fear No dusk no dawn find their way to me To lead me out of this Misdeed was done when I came in I‘ve never seen such dreadful sin A well-known shadow covered me For I was cursed so wrongfully Now I can see the land through your eyes Can feel the wind carry me up high Through the clouds and endless skies Till I reach my homeland I will fly In raven‘s coat I shall prevail From breeze to wind From storm to gale
5.
Little paper boat Against the force of tides Dragged to open sea Subtel wind comes up As shimm‘ring as a shell As shimm‘ring is your heart As hollow as a shell As hollow is your heart And I really wanna be in your arms tonight Feels like I‘m dragged by the force of a satellite So I‘m sitting here looking at the waterside While I‘m flying on emotions like a silver kite Paper boat‘s fighting against the force of tides Like it‘s dragged by the force of a satellite I am sitting here looking at the ocean wide And feel like flying on emotions like a silver kite Take all my hopes with you Take all my dreams with you Take all my love with you Take my whole life with you A thousand miles away When silence breaks the wind And everything is calm She‘s opening her arms A little paper boat Was washed ashore, some say Out of sight for long Existing anyway In every single night
6.
Tell me the story Of the Emerald Princess Who lived in this forest Many centuries ago The sheen of two gems Filled with ivory moonlight Her hair was a meadow When kissed by the wind Shadows play in every light A secret kept in darkest night See what we saw with our eyes When she awoke without disguise Her beauty‘s been kept All throughout the ages The spell of forever The roots of her sight To lift the veil the spell’s been torn The secret’s known and she’s forlorn And Princess Weeping Willow‘s hand Had written down the saga’s end
7.
Crimson Lullaby, we may fall asleep As soon as we forget our dreams It‘s so hard to believe We still run out of sense For the Weight of the World For the weigth of the word
8.
We may fall asleep, may fall asleep May fall so deep, may fall asleep You can say what you want But you know that I don‘t trust you anymore You can say what you want But you know that I don‘t love you anymore Say my name, say my name But you know that I don‘t listen anymore Fall asleep, fall asleep But you know that I won’t dream of you no more... Crimson Lullaby

Amber Fields 03:36
Moments so calm Seen in the past In our embrace You‘ve always promised me To stand by me Forevermore To hold me here To new day‘s dawn Follow me Through Amber Fields All alone A secret song Follow me Through Amber Fields See me smile Through silent tears You can be sure I‘ll allways be near
10.
Fate takes me away From where we once dreamed This wonderful kingdom Of beauty and light All these lonely days To catch your embrace My dreams seem so painful Since you left my side Where is the path, the path to you What is the word to let me through Where is the path, the path to you Into the life, that I‘m missing so Guarded by stars Kept of your song Your voice full of magic It whispers to me Will walk through the lands No one understands My star fades away But I‘ll never rest Oh my promised land – drive my pain away Oh my sanctuary – lead me out of the astray Oh my promised land – remembrance is a truth And it‘s forever – forever kept in you
11.
Break adrift, break adrift Follow me into the crowd Take my hand, take my kiss And enjoy this bliss Come undone, come inside Into tonight‘s embrace And the World and its grace Is our oyster tonight Just for the blink of an eye You are mine Just for some temporary bliss Take this kiss You‘re the light of the sacred Give me your warmth I‘m the eye of the cyclone Dance with a storm Into the arms of Enchantment Till a new break of dawn A new break of dawn
12.
I know it‘s over now And I have cried too many times I must get over this Bury my hope one last time But then the wind reminds me of you And the rain reminds me, too When it snows I think of you And the spring reminds me of you And every day I think of you Will you ever love me, too Will you Another day And life goes on I haven‘t seen you for about two years And soon there‘s not much left to feel You coldly closed that door too many times Sometimes it‘s like I see you here It‘s just my mind playing tricks on me ‘cause I will never see you again I will move on Won‘t look back

about

"An artistic album full of fairytale epic, intelligent arrangements and a clear production." Metal.de

"The new ELANE album turns out to be multifaceted and, in contrast to the predecessor, has gained a lot of power." Sonic Seducer

"Those who like ELANE's pieces like 'Love Can't Wait' or 'Traces Of The Flames' from the two previous albums will be delighted with the new album 'The Silver Falls'" Legacy (13/15 Points)

”The Silver Falls”, ELANE’s third longplay album from 2008, has – besides the well-known folk elements of the first two CDs – stronger accentuated electronic sounds, fine dark wave backgrounds as well as a little touch of melodic rock, a quantum of world music and some heavenly voices parts. All fit together by a fine orchestral sound, which is leading through the album – just like a leitmotif. In this variety of genres and deeper atmospheres the band unifies their enchanting sounds almost constantly with drums and percussion played by guest musician Andreas Hafner.

“The Silver Falls” are impressingly beautiful water falls in the land of Glenvore, the fantastic home of ELANE’s music. One stream ends here, and another one, even more lively, is born. But the image of a waterfall also marks the almost never ending creativity which flew into the songs. The silver shows the brilliance of the tracks and their noble grace. Silver can e.g. be found in the lyrics of the songs “Silverleaf”, “Paperboat & Silverkite” and “Elfennacht”.
