Wikipedia article
"'The Bard's Song (In the Forest)'" is a single by German power metal band Blind Guardian, released in 2003. It contains five different versions of this track, one of their most popular songs, which originally appeared on the album 'Somewhere Far Beyond'. The song is a folk rock ballad, in contrast to the band's usual power metal sound.
The single's cover art was painted by Leo Hao.
At concerts, it is not unusual for Hansi Krsch to only sing the first and third lines of the song, then possibly the final verse or chorus, and leave the audience to sing the rest.
The song has been covered by German a cappella metal band van Canto on their album 'Hero'.
