	LYRICS: She, she is the enchantress Her voice took his conscience away For Melian was her name And she filled the silence of Middle-Earth He, he wandered through the forest He followed her enchanting calls Thus, enamoured of her became And for many years transcended he remained In a clearing in Nan Elmoth The two souls became one For the spell was too strong They are now bonded forevermore

about

Taken from the upcoming album "Of Light and Darkness", that it is set to be released later this summer.

The first single is a story about the Maia Melian and King Thingol, who was enchanted by her ethereal voice, and got lost in the woods of Nan Elmoth. When they finally met, they became one, a bond that no one could ever break.

The song features a special guest!
Arno Menses (Subsignal, ex-Sieges Even), with his high-ranged voice, took over half of the leading vocals while also entangling some wonderful backings and choirs.

Herc enhanced the song's atmosphere with some ethereal harp takes by Athena Koumantarou and some unique choir parts, by his own wife and daughters.
