Logar's Diary is a six-pie… Read Full Bio ↴Fantasy Power Metal from Berlin / Germany
Logar's Diary is a six-piece. All the band's music is dealing with the adventures of the magician Logar in the Earthdawn universe (Earthdawn is a famous role-playing-game). Logar wrote down his quests and found some bards who wrote the music for his lyrics.
So Logar´s Diary is a 100% concept band and every single album is a story on its own.
The idea of the band was born in spring 1998. After the musicians had finished the songwriting in 1999 they recorded the first chapter of the story, until winter 2000 at Goblins & Gnomes studio. "Book I" was released as a demo-CD in April 2001, completely financed by the band itself. The reactions were pretty good and Logar had the opportunity to choose between several record-deal offerings. Finally, they signed at Metal Fortress Entertainment (MFE) where the second CD was released.
The recording of the CD- "Book 2: Parlainth - The Forgotten City" - was finished in 2004, but due to business problems and the replacement of the drummer the CD release was delayed several times.
At the end of 2006 the first pressing of "Book II" (digipack) was sold out, but you can take part at the whole story again, cause "Book II" is available again as jewelcase. You can order it directly at Logar's Diary: www.logar.org
The journey continues... The band is starting to work on the concept of "Book III" these weeks.
Travelling to the Blood Woods
Logar's Diary Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
to the elfin queen living in the Blood Woods. I simply couldn't resist her beautiful pleading
eyes, so we promised Axandria to accompany her, travelling to the Blood Woods..."
Dawn has come - soon we will be gone
We face the Blood Woods - the work has to be done
The sun is rising - the jungle's deep
Believing in our hopes that we keep
Sitting on her throne made of wood and of blood ruleth the queen
Wither like a rose - skin having thorns of pain - despairing scream
Where we will go no one returns - a place where sorrow dwells
Years of self mutilation - rejected by all - all beauty is gone
Passing darkness getting into light
Frightening corpses are entering our sight
Through he seemed but he opened his eyes
Boiling panic let the murder rise
Sitting on her throne made of wood and of blood ruleth the queen
Wither like a rose - skin having thorns of pain - despairing scream
Where we will go no one returns - a place where sorrow dwells
Years of self mutilation - rejected by all - all beauty is gone
Then we meet you my friend
Blood-brothers until the end
The oath holds us together
Farewell my friend - forever
Where we will go no one returns - a place where sorrow dwells
Years of self mutilation - rejected by all - all beauty is gone
The song "Travelling to the Blood Woods" by Logar's Diary is a haunting tale of an adventurous journey that the singer and his team undertake to deliver a message to the elfin queen living in the Blood Woods. The song starts with the arrival of dawn, which marks the beginning of their journey. The team is well-aware of the challenges that await them as they face the Blood Woods. However, they believe in their hopes to succeed and venture deeper into the jungle, guided by their mission.
As they make their way through the woods, they come across terrifying sights, including grim corpses and boiling panic. Their surroundings instill a sense of despair, yet their determination to complete their mission keeps them going. Finally, after much anticipation and perseverance, they reach the queen's throne, made of wood and blood. The queen, resembling a withered rose with thorns of pain, screams in despair. The journey to the Blood Woods is a place where only sorrow dwells, self-mutilation is rampant, and beauty has vanished.
The song ends with a ray of hope, where the singer meets a friend whom he calls his blood-brother. The oath to deliver the message holds the team together as they bid farewell, never to return. The song sheds light on the consequences of venturing into uncharted territory, where only darkness prevails and danger lurks in every corner.
