BIography


Leaves' Eyes is a symphonic metal band with folk metal elements from Norway and Germany assembled in 2003. The band was formed by Liv Kristine Espenæs (born February 14, 1976 in Stavanger) and her husband Alexander Krull and members of his band Atrocity. The band combines atmospheric, metal and classical elements.
Their debut album, Lovelorn, was released in 2004. The second album Vinland Saga, which includes Mourning Tree, was released in May 2005 and retells the tale of the discovery of Vinland ( i.e. North America) by Leif Erikson. The EP Legend Land was released in June 2006 as a followup to Vinland Saga.
Liv Kristine thought of the band name, which is a homophone for her first name. Leaves is connected to nature, which has always been the biggest inspiration for her. Liv Kristine writes all of the lyrics for the band.
Leaves' Eyes are currently working on their first DVD which was recorded during a show in Belgium.



Lyrics

MOURNING TREE

So far away
But still so close
So many days
I've had to count
The meaning of life
Comes true when I'm with you
For in me there's a flower growing

Tell him through the winds I am here
Whisper through the breeze not to fear
Taste it by the rain what I feel when you hold me
Reach out for the winds that we share
Then you will feel I am near
Taste it by the snow, I am here where you left me

I told to the mourning tree

The long way home
Is never too far
Unless you've reached the end of life
My deepest wish
Comes true when I'm with you
For in me there's a miracle growing

Tell him through the winds I am here
Whisper through the breeze not to fear
Taste it by the rain what I feel when you hold me
Reach out for the winds that we share
Then you will feel I am near
Taste it by the snow, I am here where you left me

I told to the mourning tree

Tell him through the winds I am here
Whisper through the breeze not to fear
Taste it by the rain what I feel when you hold me
Reach out for the winds that we share
Then you will feel I am near
Taste it by the snow, I am here where you left me

I told to the mourning tree
