Summoning - Farewell
Blind Guardian, Turisas, Ensiferum, Equilibrium, Amon Amarth, Bal-Sagoth etc... They're all epic as hell but NO BAND is as epic as Summoning. This is Nerd Black Metal galore. Especially this song. Fucking hell if you like any of the bands I mentioned, grab a mead and listen to this song at full volume.

Epic meter has exploded.
Edit 2 you need lyrics for full epicness:
Who can find you clear springs of waters, but I can!
Who can tell you the age of the moon, but I can!
Who can call the fish from the depths of the see, yes I can!
Who can change the shapes of the hills and the headlands, I can!
I have been a sword in the hand,
I have been a shield in a fight,
I have been the string of a harp,
I can shift my shape like a god.
Farewell, leave the shore to an ocean wide and untamed
Hold your shield high, let the wind bring your enemy your nightmare
By the bane of my blade, a mighty spell is made and
Far beyond the battle blood shall fall like a hard rain.
"This is my hour. Do you not know death when you see it? Die now!"
