[The Shining Ones]
[The shining ones, the elves and the fairies, are beings of enchanting beauty. They act as a thought or a fantasy and it could be easy for you to be lead astray by their splendid light. You may be lifted on their wings to the highest of skies, but beware...in the next moment they may let you fall.]
Solar glare from Lord Frej,
the Shining One,
in Ljusalfheim he's King of elves.
High above the rainbow
and in the tarn deep in the wood
you'll find the elves.
Follow their light
it's brighter than the sun
it makes you fly...
In the realm of Alfheim
you never know what you have seen.
A pale mirage?
Beauty make you sunblind
it fills your mind
you fly away and lose your hug.
Fly with their wings
they make you feel so free
but you may fall...
Flee from their light
they'll maybe drag you down
or make you fly...

Therion è un gruppo musicale svedese fondato nel 1987 a Väsby, vicino a Stoccolma. Considerati pionieri del symphonic metal, hanno attraversato diverse fasi stilistiche, dal black metal iniziale al progressive metal, incorporando elementi classici, orchestrali e persino folk nella loro musica. Il gruppo è noto per le sue performance live epico-drammatiche e per l'utilizzo di un ampio range di strumenti, tra cui cori, archi e tastiere. Tra i brani più rappresentativi figurano "To Mega Therion", "Theli" e "Cult of Fire". L'album "Lemuria" (1996) è considerato un punto di svolta nella loro carriera, segnando l'ingresso nel symphonic metal con influenze classiche. Therion ha collaborato con numerosi artisti, tra cui la soprano operistica Sarah Brightman. La band continua ad essere attiva e a registrare nuovi album.

My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
Sweden and the United States are two countries far from each other, thousands of kilometers separate them, the language, culinary and sporting traditions, I don't feel so categorical about the landscapes, not knowing all of America there may be states that have the same reliefs of the country of northern Europe, but on one thing I am sure
