`Dancing Shadow´ ist die dritte Auskopplung aus dem neuen AMORPHIS Studiodreher „Borderland“. Zuvor wurden bereits `Light And Shadow´ und `Bones´ samt entsprechender Videos veröffentlicht. Die neue Platte kommt dann am 26. September auf den Markt.
Gitarrist Esa Holopainen erklärt:
„The working title for ‚Dancing Shadow‘ was ‚Disco Tiger.‘ Musically it represents catchiness and hooks that have been familiar elements within our music for a long time. Sound-wise it came out pretty fresh and even modern. I bet this song will shake your legs on the dance floor – in a METAL disco, of course.“
Und Drummer Jan Rechberger fügt hinzu: „With ‚Dancing Shadow,‘ we stepped into completely new territory. For a band with over three decades behind us, that kind of reinvention feels meaningful.“

Lyrics:
Your spirit dances under ancient trees
By a forest road
On a mossy rock your shadow lingers
You will join the circling sun
Close your eyes and listen closely
To the sound beneath your thoughts
You will find the heart of time
Echoing the beating drum
Leave your body and shift your shape
The weasel slips into the stump
The otter dives beneath the roots
Into the depths of the earth
Past the earth and gravel
Beneath the ground
Swoops the black-throated bird
Swims the seal and the walrus black
Into the watery abyss
Beyond the gates to Lightless Lands
Carved in spruce, hammered in oak
On the doors of the Mansions of Manala
Death is the only word you’ll find
Close your eyes and listen closely
To the sound beneath your thoughts
You will find the heart of time
Echoing the beating drum
Leave your body and shift your shape
The weasel slips into the stump
The otter dives beneath the roots
Into the depths of the earth
Past the earth and gravel
Beneath the ground
Swoops the black-throated bird
Swims the seal and the walrus black
Into the watery abyss
You must turn from that door
Run through the gate
Swoop as the walrus and the black-throated bird
Dart as the otter, flit as the weasel
Rise from the dirt into the light
Leave your body and shift your shape
The weasel slips into the stump
The otter dives beneath the roots
Into the depths of the earth
Past the earth and gravel
Beneath the ground
Swoops the black-throated bird
Swims the seal and the walrus black
Into the watery abyss
