Along the black death-land river
The mother runs and tries to find her son
Searching for her lost hero
She wades the river deep to her belt in mud

Oh! Heavy-hearted am I
Tuoni has taken my son!
Oh! Heavy-hearted am I
Tuoni has taken my son!

Fear in her heart she calls her son
As she rakes the Tuoni river
And sees the black swan
Now she wades the river deeper
To deathlands shoals and shallows
And finds her son

Oh! Heavy-hearted am I
Tuoni has taken my son!
Oh! Heavy-hearted am I
Tuoni has taken my son!

Oh! Heavy-hearted am I
Tuoni has taken my son!
Oh! Heavy-hearted am I
Tuoni has taken my son!

Spent years in tears
Drown myself in fears
Lived in a cage filling
My life with rage

Tied my wings so tightly
Gravity feel mighty
Needed to feel the wind
Under my wings

My wings are my eyes
I'm seeing the blue skies
I'll fly, I'll fly away
And will find my way

Lost the joy of living
Closed my self from feeling
Lost the ability to fly and flee

Left my world with tears
Iron cage with fears
Strengthened my wings
Now I'm learning to fly

My wings are my eyes
I'm seeing the blue skies
I'll fly, I'll fly away
And will find my way

Deep in the earth land of dead
The dead are welcoming their king
Deep in the earth lies a new born baby boy

Hush, o precious child
Among the dead you rest in peace
Hush, o infant king
The dead salute the son of darkness!

Ruler of dead sleep on the breast of the beast
The corpses are ready and awake
Doom shall face earth upon your ascension

Hush, o precious child
Among the dead you rest in peace
Hush, o infant king
The dead salute the son of darkness

You black-souled son of mine, you'll reign the mighty kingdom of the dead
You'll make your mother proud, so sleep and dream until comes Night

Hush, o precious child
Among the dead you rest in peace
Hush, o infant king
The dead salute the son of darkness

Ravens over battlefield are marking the chosen
Brave northern warriors to their last fight
Shieldmaidens ride the wolves in the sky with ravens
Scouting the battleground for souls of slain heroes

Choosers of slain

Valkyries ride through the night sky
Singing fierce battle-cries
Valkyries, choosers of slain
Come ride their wolves

Howling wolves in the night carrying female deities
Escort the dead warriors to Odin's hall
Armour of Valkyries flashes up over the skies
Shading a strange light, the northern lights

Choosers of slain

Valkyries ride through the night sky
Singing fierce battle-cries
Valkyries, choosers of slain
Come ride their wolves

Weeping maiden of the cold Northland
Runs on through the fen and the forest
To the cold sea-shore

She sat weeping on the dark seaside,
Tears on the white sand made silver-pearls
They glow like moon.

Cry no more for me, I ask of thee
When I sink beneath the sea-foam
I will make my bed in chrystal waters
Water-ferns my cloak and pillow

In tears she saw the young fairy maidens
Of the waters out at the dark sea
In cold moonlight

Quick the maiden hastens out there
To join the mermaids calling out for her
To the deep blue sea

Cry no more for me, I ask of thee
When I sink beneath the sea-foam
I will make my bed in chrystal waters
Water-ferns my cloak and pillow

With the roar of waters falls the maiden
Falls to the deep blue sea
With the roar of waters falls the maiden
Falls to the deep boundless sea

After day turns into a night
I will light up my light in the sky
Don't shead a tear on the ground I once laid
Cause I'll be here

From your tears I'll make a chrystal necklace
To surround my heart and my chest
I'll be up here and walk by your side
Day and night

Look at me
Me here among the stars
Walking on milkyway part of the eternity

Shining bright in the dark blue sky
Shining your love, my light
Waiting for you to shine by my side
Look, I am a star!

Meet me in dreamland, come take my hand
I will guide your way don't be afraid
Hold me in your arms never let go
And be my own

Just for tonight I'll be in your dreams
Then I'll exist only in the star streams
Remember me when you look at night sky
As time goes by

Look at me
Me here among the stars
Walking on milkyway part of the eternity

Shining bright in the dark blue sky
Shining your love, my light
Waiting for you to shine by my side
Look, I am a star!

Come wind, come icy storm, come thunder cloud!
Rise ruthless tempest and make lightning strike!

Wake up you in the bowels of the earth
Tremor the snowy fjells with all my hurt

Run, now run you fool!
Your fate is to be doomed
Lonely is the end of unfaithful one

The price of what you've done
To make me feel so numb
Is to pay it all back with your life

Come wind, come icy storm, come thunder cloud!
Rise ruthless tempest and make lightning strike!

Wake up you in the bowels of the earth
Tremor the snowy fjells with all my hurt

Run, now run you fool!
Your fate is to be doomed
Lonely is the end of unfaithful one

Now my aim is clear
Your payback time is near
Run to wilderness, I'll find you!

The winternight is harsh
It leaves no one a chance
With no pity I will leave you here

Run, now run you fool!
Your fate is to be doomed
Lonely is the end of unfaithful one

Passing bells
Call for me
In my shroud
I'm sentenced to death!

Passing bells
Call for me
In my shroud
I wait for final dawn!

When the morning comes
I will fear the death drums
Pulse for me the last march
Pulse for me the last march

At the death's door
I will feel no agony
And I'll accept my destiny
I'll accept my destiny!

Passing bells
Call for me
In my shroud
I'm sentenced to death!

Passing bells
Call for me
In my shroud
I wait for final dawn!

For the last time
I will see the sky above
When walking towards ending
Walking towards ending

Still for hours left
Until I breathe my final breath
At last I will be free
At last I will be free!

Wind is blowing through my wounded soul
Darkness shades me as I'm longing and yearning
Darkness surrounds me swollowing me into endless night

Watching the moonlight
Waiting for sunrise
To bring the light into night

Like a white rider
Riding on sunrays
To take me back into light, into light

Warm my soul and melt the ice of my heart
Melt the snow which covers up my broken chest
Your heart is frozen longing for sunrise to melt the ice

Watching the moonlight
Waiting for sunrise
To bring the light into night

Like a white rider
Riding on sunrays
To take me back into light, into light

Watching the moonlight
Waiting for sunrise
To bring the light into night

Like a white rider
Riding on sunrays
To take me back into light, into light

Oh Father, now hear me!
This sinner on her knees!
Oh Father, now hear me!
This sinner on her knees!

When I turn my head towards your light I see this shadow
shading my eyes, fear I can't hide, evil's after my soul!
Dominating all my thoughts evil takes my soul
Fear I cannot hide how dark pulls me away from your light

Oh Father, come save me!
The evil's after me!
Oh Father, come save me!
The evil's after me!

Evil lurkes under my skin, there dwells an enemy within
I am the worst what I fear, I'm the evil that is near
Father hear me, evil's in me, I pray to save my soul!
Fear I cannot hide how dark pulls me away from your light

Oh Father, come save me!
The evil's after me!
Oh Father, come save me!
The evil's after me!

Evil lurkes under my skin, there dwells an enemy within
I am the worst what I fear, I'm the evil that is near
Father hear me, evil´s in me, I pray to save my soul!
Fear I cannot hide how dark pulls me away from your light
