Andersdenkend This is one of those rare debut albums, that gets everything right straight out of the gate. The opening track Run to Ror-Modin doesn't waste any time to introduce you to Wooden Bridge's well produced, well composed and very cheezy style. I especially love the interplay between female and male vocals. Guitars, synths, drums, everything is perfectly balanced and it just continues on from there till you reach the end of the album and are wondering, when their next album will be out. Recommended! Favorite track: The Alchemist.

From the hills of Lindor A song of love and war In the forest of Lindor There was a man called Maglor In the village of Lindor There was a princess ready to fall On a crusade towards her throne Run to Ror-Modin! Then she left her old house Walking sneakily just like a mouse She was going after her throne Run to Ror-Modin! "I can help you", said Maglor But Ceres, the princess, wasn't too sure "I don't know you, what's your name?" "I am Maglor, that is my name" "I'm Sapphire, just an elf" She thought that was better to lie about her fame Shame, shame, shame!

The winter is coming fast There is no time to rest The seeds are grown The last harvest till cold We must feed our children We must feed our wives The breeze is cold The last harvest till cold The sun is not shining anymore The sky is cloudy, foresights of storm The leaves have fallen on the ground Believe it or not, the snow will fall We shall gather all the food Before the winter comes As faster as we can Leave for later all the fun Raise your axe and cut the wood And throw it all in the fire As faster as we can That's our king's desire Cut the wheat Light the fire Chop the wood King's desire I'm the one that you all fear And I've taken many lives In a way or another they fell Your last harvest until me! We must feed our children We must feed our wives The breeze is cold The last harvest till cold We shall gather all the food Before the winter comes As faster as we can Leave for later all the fun Raise your axe and cut the wood And throw it all in the fire As faster as we can That's our king's desire

The Hunter 04:35
Inside the darkness Through the snow A knife in hand And my wooden bow In the silence Walking alone The night sings my hunting song It sings my hunting song The stars are shining and the cold wind blows In every mountain, through every stone Felt the night like we're both one And the night still sings my hunting song Sings my hunting song Prey in sight and it starts to run Arrow in hand, the hunt begun Under the skies, beyond the sun Blood in hand, my work is done My prey is dying and panting slowly No one to rescue Death comes lonely We live together to die alone And I'll always sing my hunting song Sing my hunting song

An empty heart A loveless soul Dark as the night Cold as the snow Why are you here? (Why are you here?) I'm your worst fear (Fear me!) I've come to see you I've come to feel you I've come to know if you are real I am the monster of stone I am the king of my own throne Beast, but I was once a man And here I make my stand Kill, kill, kill the monster! Cold heartless demon Let my magic bring thee the light again And never forget, inside these rocks there is a man Don't be a fool (cold heartless demon) The darkness in me shall never leave But never forget (but never forget) That your efforts will be remembered one day

[Alchemist]: Pain lies inside my heart It's my mistake that tears us apart All my sorrow, all my pain All my knowledge, will it be in vain? [Narrator]: The mighty alchemist that fails in his art Covered in shame, murderer of his wife Guilt and regret are hard to endure It might be unforgivable [Alchemist]: Just a miracle could save my love Just a miracle could bring her back to life Just a miracle could erase that night Just a miracle turns my hell into paradise I'm on the edge Chills in my spine Looking for a name He is the knight Living to fight Could he know a way? [Knight]: In my life of pleasures Swords and axes Come with me and forget about her name We can ride our lives And ladies sing to us You could have it all and your soul would be free [Alchemist]: Sorry your life is not for me My soul is far away from here [Priest]: Oh, sorry! I wish I could bring your woman back to life But it's easy to trust on the gods... when you need them When they wanted you, you said no We could have good use of your science Please don't misunderstand me Good gods don't want your hate You just can't change fate [Alchemist]: Pain lies inside my heart It's my mistake that tears us apart All my sorrow, all my pain All my knowledge, will it be in vain? [Shaman]: Maybe I know of an ancient way But then let me say that the price is too high I know that you've lost all in your life If you wish to go on, it will demand a sacrifice [Wife]: I know my dear that you miss me [Alchemist]: I'm sorry soon you will be back [Wife]: I have to learn to let you go [Alchemist]: And so do I, it hurts me so... [Wife]: I'm moving on towards the light [Alchemist]: Give it in to time, we shall be one [Wife]: In life or death, there is only you [Both]: We'll meet again someday!

I wish this fight could stop I wish it had an end For long I've waited this day I wish I could have stayed My brother, my sister The hope is in your hands Lor-Minoir Beyond the hills, it is our last sunrise Yes, we fight at morning To bury them at night My brother, my sister The hope is in your hands Lor-Minoir Fool of a mage who made a stupid trick of falling stars Heaven's curse on me He said he could cast some magic to create a pass Between the canyon which divided us from Ror-Modin We believed in him, it was our last choice How could we have known that he would make a rain of rocks He failed the spell, it fell upon us all We die, we die, we die!

Elven Bridge 04:13
We are the ancient ones The elves who guard this wooden bridge Introduce yourself And tell me what is your will in this magical place What's your will in this place? This forest you want to come in is our home Protected with our lives from the rest of the world For centuries now we are living in peace and freedom We can take you to our king But be warned it won't be easy to convince him You should have a free pass in this magical place What's your will in this place, anyway? The animals sing to us every day The Dryads are sweet, comfort us in our way Noble Centaurians help us with good intentions But it haven't always been like this For peace we struggled hard The bloodiest battle we fought and we won But took so many lives The history of our people is so sad and so cold The freedom we earned, we won't toss it away Be warned, be warned Be warned, my friend My good man, no one comes in or come out Without we all know So don't try to fool me, you'll only fool yourself For us this is no joke! We have no intentions to harm you But just give me one good reason! I'll load up my bow before you can blink Don't doubt, don't doubt Don't doubt my word This forest you want to come in is our home Protected with our lives from the rest of the world For centuries now we are living in peace and freedom The animals sing to us every day The Dryads are sweet, comfort us in our way Noble Centaurians help us with good intentions

Noble friends I don't want to disturb your tranquility Listen well I'm just an explorer from outside this world I carry no weapon, only my books My sword is my pen and my shield is my flute Let me see what's in these woods Let me see what's in these woods Let's shake hands And I promise I'll do no harm to your land Trust in me I'm just a geographer and I wanna know About this amazing place that you live in I wanna see the trees and behold the magic lights Let me see! Let me see!

Holy thunder from the skies Enlighten our hearts, our lives Stormy rain from paradise Revive our land let it back to life If you come with me, I will show the way I'll show the way out from this world disarray This dry land is our curse For distrust on the gods Beyond this weary hills there's a chance for life Our life can be again filled with hope and pride Pain step aside, shame we'll leave behind Behind our dreams there is a faith But now we are living a nightmare And we cannot awake Punished by the sun our earth seems (to be) The land has died by our own sins Dry is our land, if you give me your hand I will take you to a magic place Believe it's true, a sea of blue Dry is our land, if you give me your hand I will take you to a magic place Believe it's true, a sea of blue The journey has begun A long, long way to run To find our peace again we'll go until the end Our home we've left behind With no remorse we move There's nothing left to prove Survival is our goal, there's nothing left to know Hungry and thirsty we are Dreary lands we walked, not so much to talk Cause the pain was so much deep The sun was angry with us Wanting us dead Holy thunder from the skies Enlighten our hearts, our lives Stormy rain from paradise Revive our land let it back to life

The way of the damned Calls your soul The only way to follow Covered with ice and snow There is blood There is pain The sad sky sends the red rain Death brings despair Darkness brings the cold The voice inside my head Of a hundred stolen souls The endless battle takes our gold Sins of the man, slave of precious stones Fight for honor and fight for pride I will fight until I die At this moment I must fight My axe brings the ashes of life It's raining again It's raining again
