Song information in English language Song Info:  (05:52) A tribute to the pagan-based Scandinavian traditions of Midsummer, this song, like the bonfire it depicts, slowly builds into a blazing inferno.
Lyrics:  MIDSUMMER FIRES

Midnight midsummer. Sun won't leave the sky.
Here's a fire for the burning,
A light to lead the turning.

The turning of the sun down the season's slide
The burning of the sun that keeps us all alive
The turning of the sun down the season's slide
Toward the harvesting of grain and the long white time

Midsummer fires burn in my heart
Midsummer fires burn
Midsummer fires burn in my heart
Midsummer fires burn

Midnight midsummer. Flames scrape through the sky.
Watch them catch on the horizon,
Watch them rise higher and wilder.

In the shadows of the flickering folds
The embers fill the dusk with their rust and gold
In the shadows of the flickering folds
Forge a purified world out of the old

Midsummer fires burn in my heart
Midsummer fires burn
Midsummer fires burn in my heart
Midsummer fires burn

Midnight midsummer. Sun won't leave the sky.
Here's a fire for the burning,
A light to lead the turning…

Stakes and twigs
And garlands green
Midsummer fires burn

Birch and blossoms
Moss and leaves
Midsummer fires burn

Copper coins
Old boats and barrels
Midsummer fires burn

Climb right up the
Witch's ladder
Midsummer fires burn

Midsummer fires
Midsummer fires
Midsummer fires burn

Build it up
With bricks and beams
Midsummer fires burn

Douse it all
With gasoline
Midsummer fires burn

Midsummer fires
Midsummer fires
Midsummer fires burn

Keep feeding me
Keep feeding me
Till all I can see
It's all I can see

ethereal floating vocals with airy harmonies, it reminds me to my favourite group cocteau twins, really worths a listen, and two, and three... and to spend a while right here at their site

Sweet! Etherial vocals, Melodies that flow ever so smoothly with great dynamics, beautiful guitar work and percussion. You are on track to developing a unique and very special sound. Can't wait to hear more!
