't was an eve in late summer, autumn was nigh
Still a warm sun did colour the sky
The meadows did shine in a strange golden light
And vales did forth the soft haze of night
When through the air a voice did resound
Beckoning the shepherd to rise from the ground
THE SHEPHERD:
"What sweet voice does sing in such a woebegone tone?
What maiden does wander the heather alone?"
Bewitched by it's tone, he followed her song,
Whilst the sun did descend and the shadows grew long
In the dim light of dusk, near the sparkling cascade
On a moss covered stone sat a crying young maid
THE SHEPHERD:
"Why art thou dreary? What happened to thee?
What song didst thou sing so woefully?"
THE MAIDEN:
"Go whither O shepherd! Don't sadden thine heart
Thou canst not help me - not thou who thou art!
An old man who's been born in a cradle of wood
Of a tree that at least a hundred years stood,
Cut by a boy who at heart was still pure -
Might be my redeemer if he knew that he could..."
Empyrium is a German musical group founded in 1994 by Markus Stock (mostly using the pseudonym Ulf T. Schwadorf) and Andreas Bach. Initially, they distinguished themselves for a symphonic folk/doom metal style, later evolving towards neofolk. Their first two albums, *A Wintersunset* and *Songs of Moors and Misty Fields*, followed by the demo *...Der wie ein Blitz vom Himmel fiel...*, present a doom metal sound (or, according to some, folk metal) with folk and symphonic influences. The distinctive features of Empyrium include guttural and operatic male vocals, slow and heavy guitar riffs and suggestive atmospheres. Among the most representative songs are *The Forest of the Dead*, *A Wintersunset* and *Songs of Moors and Misty Fields*.

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.
