In Extremo

70,000 Tons Heavy Metal Cruise is coming up.

I'm looking at In Extremo today, German Medieval Heavy Metal band that will be performing.

They often use classic fairy tales for their inspiration.

Horizont (Horizon) is a song with a fairy tale aspect that I don't fully understand but I've listened to it more than a dozen times now and love it more each time.

The song is like an apology, repentance, a recognition of wrong-doing (see him pullin' the weight / sins?)

"I deceived myself a thousand times

I offended you a thousand times...
I repressed everything a thousand times
Repressed everything, everything, everything

But at this very hour.
When I lost you
I realise what I've done to you
And I condemn myself for it

I spoke too much a thousand times

(I felt) the same sorrow a thousand times
I broke your heart a thousand times
I regretted it too late a thousand times
Regretted too late, too late

*~*~*~

In the middle they sing: "There where the horizon

And the sea become one
That's where I want to wait for you
So that you could find me there." 

We MUST hear their open-air performance.
