Wyvern was one of the best power metal acts of late '90s. They came from Sweden and very bad the singer on the first album, "The Wildfire", was really bad.
Anyway the songs on it are very good, and this is track no. 8 of that debut album, it's called "Taste of Winter", a really emotional ballad.
The following one, titled "No Defiance of Fate", with this time a really good singer, is one of the best heavy metal album I've listened to in my life.
Obviously the band split-up immediately after :D
LYRICS:
Alone I'm standing here, the wind has silent everything's still
The moon enlight my furrowed face
And the snow-covered trees
This forest's enchanted, I cannot resist, it's wonderful magic
It's cold winter kiss
Landscape of winter, cold and bleak
My soul is mesmerized
Freezing splendour, embrace the burning ice
Taste the winter, ascend into the realm of purity
Learn to conjure, the wisdom of your dreams � unveil the way
I walk on through this night of nights
Wondering towards greater heights
Elated by the countless stars, oh magic sky
Like a montainside, standing high
In the darkness is the only place to find
The key to open up the secrets of your mind
But the children of this time have lost the key
Forever shall be blind
Damned for all time, like eagles we'll fly
