Red Silent Tides is the sixth album by Italian folk/power metal band Elvenking. It was released on September 17, 2010 through AFM Records in both standard and Deluxe Editions. The Deluxe Edition of Red Silent Tides included a second disc which contained their first demo album To Oak Woods Bestowed as a bonus disc. This album would also feature Raffaello "Rafahel" Indri on guitars alongside Aydan. Also this album would not feature Elyghen on Violins due to his trip out of Italy and was replaced by session player Fabio "Lethien" Polo for the remainder until Elyghen's return.
Two singles from the album so far haven been released from the album "The Cabal" as the first and "Your Heroes Are Dead" as the second.
For years disguised smiles were the only friends for me for years I thought they were for real
I closed my heart and with my hands I fooled myself Leaving me a pearl without a shell
Then I woke up, then I woke up and found all that I left behind I'm packing it all, and leaving with you
[Chorus:]
So close your eyes and take my hand now I'll take you to my dark wonderland a place you'll never want to leave – a place you'll never want to leave tonight
I will caress you all the night and day whisper sweet words every day captive in your arms, your prey – in your arms a prey tonight
I'll dig a place so far from here
A hole to hide my love, to save what's left of me
They put me on trial after the sentence had been sealed with dismal glances ill-concealed a crow was flying in the rainy sky that night bringing good news, not a fright
The underdog, the last in line, oh please stop all this wicked whine I'm packing my things, and leaving with you
[Chorus:]
So close your eyes...
After all we went through Can you feel me deep... I dedicate this night to you
'Long all the miles I've been walking
The tears have counted my progress
Please touch my heart... together we will fix this silence
In this dark sweet fairytale
They ran out of happy endings
Please touch my soul... we can re-arrange all this nightmare
[Solo: Rafahel, Aydan]
[Chorus:]
So close your eyes...
