The lyrics of two tracks are based on the poems "City of Present Sorrow" and "Town of Dreams", by J. R. R. Tolkien. The rest of the lyrics came from unknown writers or were written by the band in a style that fits within the Tolkien universe.

"''Old Mornings Dawn'' is no concept album, but this time we mostly experienced the stories and legends of Eärendil the mariner: half man half eldar, ancestor of the kings of Númenor, with the Silmaril of his forehead he became an immortal star. 4 songs are dealing with this topic. The lyrics of another two songs come from the poems "City of Present Sorrow" and "Town of Dreams", two very old poems by J. R. R. Tolkien written at a time when the first world war was raging. The rest of the lyrics came from unknown writers or are written by myself and as ever are closely woven to the Tolkien universe".

* Silenius (Michael Gregor)- Vocals, Keyboards, Bass

=== Former Members ===
* Trifixion (Alexander Trondl)-Drums
* Pazuzu (Raymond Wells)-Vocals

== Musical Characteristics ==
Summoning is known for their epic-style, Tolkien-related atmospheric black metal style, with emphasis on keyboards. Their trademark sound is characterized by:
* Very minimalistic guitars often low in the mix
* Programmed and heavily reverberated drums giving a very cavernous feel to the rhythm
* Multi-layered synthesizer and keyboard melodies mimicking orchestral instruments which often dominates the rest of the mix.
* Vocals performed in a traditional black metal fashion, however they are often heavily reverberated, giving a very epic and roomy sound to the songs.
* The band often makes use of audio samples, particularly from the ''[[The Lord of the Rings (1981 radio series)|The Lord of the Rings]]'' radio play.

South Away

2023-06-08T05:57:34Z

Earthshine: Added a line mentioning the inspiration for the lyrics of this song.

'''South Away''' is a song by [[Summoning]]. It appears in their fourth full-length album, [[Let Mortal Heroes Sing Your Fame]].

The lyrics are based upon the poem '''Roll-Roll-Roll-Roll''' which is found within the chapter "[[Barrels Out of Bond]]" of ''[[The Hobbit]]''.
==Lyrics==
<poem style="font-style:italic; margin-left:20px;">
Leave the halls and caverns deep
Were the forests wide and dim
Stoops in shadow grey and grim

Float beyond the world of trees
Past the rushes, past the reeds
Past the marshes, weaving weeds

"[...] and the crowns of seven kings, and the rods of the Five Wizards."

South away! South away now!
Far away seek the sunlight and the day.

Hail, hail now, king of the mark.
</poem>
