Since no one's posted this in 11 years, I'll mention that this song is about Finrod Felagund and Turgon of Gondolin, who were approached by Ulmo who bid them make hidden fortresses when he foresaw the Nirnaeth Arnoediad and great loss. The song refers to the fact that the only real hope to be free from Morgoth is the Valar, who dwell across the Sundering Sea, "beyond the coast." Eärendil, who finally sailed across the sea in supplication, grew up in Gondolin and escaped on a secret path with his parents Tuor and Idril.
No problem, there is help with this very old geography lesson: dor-lomin.com/archive/dagor/ Just keep in mind there might be some initial lag if you don't have at least a mid-range Pentium CPU.
This was one of the first metal music that I've ever heard, and still is one of the best I've listen so far. I just LOVE Blind Guardian, thank you for the awesome music.

I was listening to this while shaving. It made me feel so epic that my pathetic lip fluff grew into an epic luxurious beard. I also headbutted my mirror so hard that it broke the laws of reality and transported me to a land of swords and magic. Where barbarians roam the plains, dragons rule the skies and the village tavern has free inter-dimensional wifi.

Not at all. It's just that a lot of people were commenting on stuff turning manlier when listening to this. I just wanted to make the strangest possible thing do that. Still, I can understand how it came across like that, now that you mention it, so maybe I shouldn't have written it.
PickleJello not at all! It did came across like that (at least to me), but now that you explained it I love the subtle sarcasm in it =) It does sound idiotic to feel 'manlier' because of the song....
This band was a huge influence on one of my writing projects. This song in fact reminds me so much of one of my favorite characters to write in the project. So good!
I remember finding this same video back in high school, and to see it's still up gives me much joy. My first exposure to Blind Guardian came from this video.
I listened to this while driving. Now, I am riding a mythril metal wagon driven by the power of a dwarven steel forge, while thundering across on the roads of Hell and Heaven.
Anyone still listening to this masterpiece in 2018? I was about 14 years old when I discovered this beauty. I'm 25 now and still loving this song. Thank you Blind Guardian
the previous summer while i was on the train , i was sleeping and when the guard woke me up for my ticket, the guy next to me asked me how i can sleep with these songs (on full volume) , i was listening DEATH
I am 39 and the song came to mind today as I was smoking a cigarette at work. So here I am few hours later. That's something that clearly carved into me some 25 years ago.
it's already been 23-24 years but the song seems always fresh and with so much energy and life. It gives you a different mood everytime you listen to it. Thank u hansi, andre, Marcus, and of course the greatest drummer of the whole world thomen the omen without whom the band is quite incomplete
TO ALL FUNS (OR NOT) OF THE BAND: Mind the exceptional attitude of the drummer! Amazing genious, power and performance intelligence! A blacksmith hammering on the anvil of music to form a very special METAL! Way to go, dude!
I based an entire epic Dungeons and Dragons Story on this and other songs of this album. We have been playing for over 1 entire year now (playing weekly) and we are about halfway with the story. Thank you Blind Guardian, Thank you for being awesome and a source of inspiration to me. Thank you for having granted me and my friends a year's worth of entertainment with more to come. (^_^)
@@MadassAlex We are about to enter the final chapter, Assaulting the Necromantic Dragon cult's lair on the back of an ancient golden dragon to banish the dragon back, follow wherever it has it's soul anchored and then bind and banish it. So yeah over 6 years of play.
You may be surprised to find out after all this time that this is a concept album based on J.R.R. Tolkien's the Silmarillion. Which is a body of work that pretty directly influenced the creation of DnD.
I discovered this song today, and it brought tears of joy to me. I remember my childhood that was not so bright, but i had a nice imagination that i kept till today (i am 21) and i remember having a plastic sword and gauntlet while having conan the adventurer for one of my best cartoons back in the day. I watched anime and stuff like that, but i always wished to be an adventurer in the world of swords and magic.
Oh, wow, this song brings back so many memories. Both my brother and I loved this song, and we would listen to it on our own, independently of one another. Man, I love it when songs are awesome and bring back nice memories.
Ein episches Meisterwerk. Als ich es zum ersten mal hörte hat es mich in seinen Bann gezogen. Genial durchkomponiert, hat schon was von Klassik und dazu der Gesang, diese Stimme in Kombination mit dem Chor besser geht es nicht...
There is one thing I truly hate about metal and that is that there is so many good albums and there is always a dozen new great albums that I need to get that I am able to get them.
Our secular democracy turned to a theocratic monarchy and the world turned back to the old days of bliss and endless laughter as ancient wisdom was restored while I was listening to this song.
Made the mistake of listening to this at work. My coworkers have expressed alarm at my now pointed ears and desire to join the Valar in their fight against the forces of Darkness. 10/10
You usually use minor, harmonic minor or even more jazzy scales, but BG has dragonscales so can fly high with the power and originality that no one ever has dare to write Yes im THAT fan of them
Listening to this again, this was the first song that's not Dragonforce I listened to after finding out more about power metal, and it became a binge of listening to more.
My glass became empty while listening to this song.
The song isn't related. I just value hydration.
Admitting you have a problem is the first step to recovery.
the last is accepting Jesus Christ as your lord and saviour

Never heard of this band until I was given its t-shirt. Haven't stopped listening to them since.
Mustafa Kulle 2003 changed my life when I saw their album Night at The Opera. I bought it cause it called to me, and I have been a fan since.
+Mustafa Kulle That just happened to me.
This is one of the most uplifting metal songs of all time. I just can't listen to it and be angry.
angry about morgoth 😠
Definitely a power metal top ten song. Invokes fantasy, awe, and wonder. It sets my soul aflame.
One of the best metal tracks of all times

You heard of them before and thats why you can imagine them now.

Am i the only one who thinks if they had power metal back in the age of knights and castles, this would be it?

Arrepiei aqui
Far, far beyond the island
We dwelt in shades of twilight
Through dread and weary days
Through grief and endless pain
It lies unknown
The land of mine
A hidden gate
To save us from the shadow fall
The lord of water spoke
In the silence
Words of wisdom
I've seen the end of all
Be aware the storm gets closer
Mirror Mirror on the wall
True hope lies beyond the coast
You're a damned kind can't you see
That the winds will change
Mirror Mirror on the wall
True hope lies beyond the coast
You're a damned kind can't you see
That tomorrows bears insanity
Gone's the wisdom
Of a thousand years
A world in fire and chains and fear
Leads me to a place so far
Deep down it lies my secret vision
I better keep it safe
Shall I leave my friends alone
Hidden in my twilight hall
(I) know the world is lost in fire
Sure there is no way to turn it
Back to the old days
Of bliss and cheerful laughter
We're lost in barren lands
Caught in the running flames
Alone
How shall we leave the lost road
Time's getting short so follow me
A leader's task so clearly
To find a path out of the dark
Mirror Mirror on the wall
True hope lies beyond the coast
You're a damned kind can't you see
That the winds will change
Mirror Mirror on the wall
True hope lies beyond the coast
You're a damned kind can't you see
That the winds will change
Even though
The storm calmed down
The bitter end
Is just a matter of time
Shall we dare the dragon
Merciless he's poisoning our hearts
Our hearts
How shall we leave the lost road
Time's getting short so follow me
A leader's task so clearly
To find a path out of the dark
Mirror Mirror on the wall
True hope lies beyond the coast
You're a damned kind can't you see
That the winds will change
Mirror Mirror on the wall
True hope lies beyond the coast
You're a damned kind can't you see
That the winds will change
Legend
Damn haha I used to think that one bit in the chorus went “you’re a dim cunt can’t you see”
So many years have passed, and this still puts me in another dimension. Thanks Blind Guardian, thanks Tolkien
My parrot became a phoenix while listening to this
hahahahaha!!!!!!!
lol because you got hyphy and lit it on fire
dragonforce joke,but still is accurate to if a bird listened to the song
Nice!
@@sqilluy is it a dragonforce joke?
Blind Guardian, an old love whose fires never seem to fade.
25 years now and counting!
❤
E de repente, fiquei animadíssimo.
Esse vocal em conjunto é muito legal e o instrumental é fantástico!
I was listening to this while my mom was in the room. Now she's my dad.

Doesn't make any sense how a song can be this epic.
