Tristania is a gothic metal band from Norway, formed in the end of 1996 by Morten Veland (vocals/guitars), Einar Moen (keyboards), and Kenneth Olsson (drums). Soon thereafter, the band's lineup was fleshed out further with the addition of Vibeke Stene (vocals), Anders Hidle (guitars), and Rune Osterhus (bass). The band's music is usually classified as gothic metal, due to its strong ties with the genres history, and the band making use of styles and traits stereotypical of the genre. However, they pride themselves on their musical diversity, as evidenced by the evolution of their music over the course of their four studio albums. Tristania's earlier albums and put a lot of focus around operatic female vocals, haunting choruses and classical instruments such as pipe organ, flutes and violins.

Angellore Lyrics

Tristania

When summer's gone flee my angel
Winterwinds they might lead you far away
Beyond the pale horizon, a greaven silence
Over dreams to my heart yet not remain
[Vibeke] Oh please believe
It's in her eyes
[Vibeke] It is inside
It's in my heart, the same relation from which
I once led astray
[Vibeke] Oh please believe
It's in her eyes
[Vibeke] It is inside
It's in my heart, the same delightful place
I once felt in you
Angellore revered at dusk
For thee I rose, now descend all alone
Rise for me, soothe my heart
So wide a sea, may I overcome
[Spoken] Into the night strays an angel
So lost and tearful all astray
Into the night strays an angel
So lost an d tearful all astray
Lo where's the pale horizon
Oh where is dyingness
You reach for me beyond so wide a sea
[Vibeke] Oh please believe
It's in her eyes
[Vibeke] It is inside
It's in my heart, the same desire
I feel burning in me
[Vibeke] Oh please believe
It's in her eyes
[Vibeke] It is inside
It's in my heart, the same desire from
The empty pain within
Rise for me, soothe my heart
So wide a sea, may I overcome
[Vibeke] Deep as the sea, wailing secrecies are burning in me
For a dream I once desired
I bequeth my sorrow and I regret to thee
Cannot cross that wide a sea
Angellore revered at dusk
For thee I rose, now descend all alone
Rise for me, soothe my heart
So wide a sea, may I overcome
