Comments: The first minute of this song is given over to spoken-word story telling, followed by three minutes of a beautiful blend of symphonic and power metal. The voice of the lead singer is distinct, bordering on unforgettable, and the lyrics themselves are closer to a Norse saga than a rock song; at least when they can be clearly understood. If you like this song, please, look up the band-- this song is standard fare for Rhapsody. (A side note-- they used to just be called 'Rhapsody,' before changing their name. Consequently, much of their music is still listed as being done by 'Rhapsody.')
