Summoning - A Distant Flame Before The Sun (w/ lyrics) 

Choose the best Summoning song is a hard task, because they have plenty of masterpieces... but... this song, is something more. This song is powerful as fuck. Strong lyrics, strog riffs, powerful essence... i have lack of words to describe the feelings listening this hours and hours repeteadly. Just fuckin insane work... superb, flawless.

Each Summoning song is a masterpiece.

This is the most beautiful song ever. The vocals are black metals finest moment.

"I sit beside the fire and think .. of older times, of older times"

I sit beside the fire and think Of how the world will be When winter comes without a spring That I shall ever see I sit beside the fire and think Of people long ago And people who will see a world That I shall never know I sit beside the fire and think Of older times that were before I listen for returning feet And voices at my door On high above the mists I came A distant flame before the sun A wonder ere the waking dawn Where grey the nordlands waters run In elder days and years of yore

there are a ton of amazing musicians out there, but hardly anyone can top a masterpiece like this

Austria has 2 of greatest artists of all times (Mozart and Summoning) and RU-vid has 8 the most idiots of all times.

... Now behold the awful prize of treason!!!! My favourite moment in all summoning's song

It still boggles my mind how that last sunset, which carries a certain ancient or medieval feeling in it that's almost impossible to describe, is exactly what I first pictured when I heard the last several minutes of this track for the first time.

This is the pure Platonic Idea of mythical music

This song is beyond epic

On high above the mists I came 我自凌霄破雾来 A distant flame before the sun 孤星璀璨迎日光 A wonder ere the waking dawn 恢弘壮景终觉晓 Where grey the nordlands waters run 北境灰河自浩荡 In elder days and years of yore 俱往矣，世事两茫茫

BEST SONG EVER MADE , simple as that

How the HELL could anyone 'thumbs-down' this song?????

I sit beside the fire ..and think

This song will play at my funeral.

Creators of epic black metal Original band Hail Summoning

Considering what the poem is about (wondering about the future and what the world will be like after you die), I find it funny that he would probably never imagine this type of music, let alone consider his poem being made into a song in this style. It just show how little we're able to predict, even a few decades in the future.

my favourite song..has been for 10 years or so

just epic and truly awesome. i listen this for many years and it´s just………………….is a masterpiece

summoning are true legends.this song is my fav from them.....

Burzum-Beholding The Daughters Of The Firmament!!!

*shivers and tears*

It's been 14 years since I first heard this .. still epic as ever

I cannot stop watching braveheart

The last 4 minutes of this song send shivers down my spine...

Esto es tan SUBLIME. Asociado a mi realidad desesperante. MARAVILLOSO TEMA!!!

summoning a true masterpiece.

gorgeous music and video!!!

One of their best

Masterpiece

give love a true heart

Song is most epic but the video matches the splendor for visual purposes especially the volcanos at 4:10

I sit beside the fire and think...

feels..

I love this band ,is my favorite🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼😍😍😍

unos verdaderos genios....the best band....

Great video man!

One of my favorite!

I feel a sad, nostalgic air

Silenius kills in this song...

is there ever be a new Summoning record

In elder days and years of yore..

I wonder what Tolkien would have thought of this "recital" of his poem.

It really brings us great Murky feelings..

Magnifico

This Band is a killer.

I was happier when I thought that "through dreams I influence mankind" was said by Eru Iluvatar. But now I know that he's the devil of an 80's film...

ich habe vor jahren mit den jungs von Summoning persönlichen Briefkontakt gepflegt. ist leider dank der Multimediagesellschaft eingeschlafen. :( liebe grüße nach Österreich aus Sachsen

Where comes from the video sample of sunset? Thanks.

Godlike

обалденная тема!!

You chose the wrong colours for the lyrics

I think it's more: ''in days of age and years of yore''

"Intro" G#m E Next segment Fm E After that D A E A "Outro" E Cm A E B Correct me if im wrong ty

oh such a great song if only production was a little better...

... this is just a the poam from Lord of the rings book. With a few stanzas added at the end. But its still pretty nice.

I've always wondered where the samples are taken from

Mehh

lyrics are completely unreadable

Leaving a comment for the algorithm... but man, you really should have made better colour choices with this video.

What a song but the sound q is the shit. So I choose the vinyl. sounds better

ya never liked this album much, weakest of summoning probably top3 weakest for sure
