AMORPHIS - The Lantern (Official Music Video)

Taken from the album "Borderland" (September 26th, 2025) 🎧 Stream, get it here: https://amorphis.rpm.link/borderlandYT "The song has a strong atmosphere and cinematic storytelling. It plays with classic elements, and you might even catch influences from Vangelis. Tomi Joutsen did an incredible job throughout the whole album, and on 'The Lantern' you can really hear how the vocals beautifully carry the song's dramatic arc. The working title was 'Jore,' which doesn't really say anything about the track itself. But those who know, know." - Esa Holopainen (guitars) ▶ FOLLOW REIGNING PHOENIX MUSIC 🛒 EU: https://shopeu.reigningphoenixmusic.com 🛒 US: https://shopus.reigningphoenixmusic.com 🛒 UK: https://reigningphoenixmusic.omerch.com Web: https://www.reigningphoenixmusic.com YouTube: https://rpm.link/YTsubYT Instagram: https://rpm.link/instagramYT Facebook: https://rpm.link/facebookYT X: https://rpm.link/twitterYT TikTok: https://rpm.link/tiktokYT Spotify: https://rpm.link/spotifyYT ▶ FOLLOW AMORPHIS Web: https://www.amorphis.net Facebook:   / amorphis   Instagram:   / amorphisband   Threads: https://www.threads.com/@amorphisband TikTok:   / amorphisband   X: https://www.x.com/amorphis YouTube:    / amorphisofficial   Music by Esa Holopainen Lyrics by Pekka Kainulainen Recorded at Hansen Studios, Denmark Produced, mixed & mastered by Jacob Hansen Video produced by Patrik Skoglöw AMORPHIS are: Tomi Joutsen | vocals Esa Holopainen | guitars Tomi Koivusaari | guitars Olli-Pekka "Oppu" Laine | bass Santeri Kallio | keys Jan Rechberger | drums & percussion Lyrics: The river brings butterfly wings Carries shining feathers of birds And flowers and branches of trees And broken bodies maimed In black waters they all sank Devoured by the depths The bodies in Tuonela's stream The kings of renown The mightiest of men Jumbled together with lowly slaves All smeared into pulp The flesh of the families The bones of the tribes Deprived of their trophies Dismembered and crushed In a pool beneath the stream The waters ceased to boil Then dulled the roar and foaming froth Tuonela’s river had calmed By the side of the waters black In the never-ending night Flickered a small lantern A fire danced on the shore The kings of renown The mightiest of men Jumbled together with lowly slaves All smeared into pulp The flesh of the families The bones of the tribes Deprived of their trophies Dismembered and crushed Who was he who walked the night And stirred on the stony shore? Moved along those murky banks Roamed the riverside Who was he who walked the night? #amorphis #lantern #borderland #finnishmetal #deathmetal #progressive #melancholic #suomi #rpm #reigningphoenixmusic
