tears
Ensiferum Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Shadows of evening on a traveller's way
Destiny tells where the strange path will lead you
Alone I've been walking this path every day
Under the stars and the white silver moon
I hear a song and I'm closing my eyes
While it's sound is carresing my poor and sad mind
Will you tonight give your promise to me
For one day the silence will sleep in your dreams

I've been waiting for so long time
To see the light of golden bright sun
I feel no sorrow in the heart of mine
For the tears of life are now gone

Winds are whispering in the sacred forest
Dancing and singing with the red autumn leaves




These memories I could never forget
With rising sun I shall be here with thee

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Tears" by Ensiferum are evocative of a solitary journey, set against the backdrop of the natural world. The song begins with a traveler walking alone beneath the night sky, pondering the mysteries of fate and destiny. The music is haunting, with a melancholic melody that underscores the sense of isolation and yearning that infuses the lyrics. The traveler hears a song that seems to offer a moment of solace, and for a brief time, the cares of the world recede.


The second verse of the song reflects a sense of hopefulness, as the traveler looks forward to a brighter tomorrow. The imagery shifts from the nighttime sky to the forest, with the winds whispering through the leaves and hinting at new beginnings. The lyrics also suggest a degree of acceptance, as the traveler seems to have come to terms with the hardships of the past and is ready to embrace a new day.


Overall, "Tears" is a poignant meditation on the fleeting nature of life, and the way that music and nature can provide solace and inspiration even in the darkest of times.
