[Instrumental]

In the fields of snow, the stars will disappear...
In the fields of snow, only silence, we will hear...
In the fields of snow, we walk, cold and alone...
But through the fields of snow, we welcome you home...

Fire, the oldest one
The force in the beginning of time
Show me your face and your fierce eyes
Reveal the secrets those flames hide
Pass on the wisdom and strength
And I shall honour this legacy for my dying day
Until the fire will burn all the memories away

Fire, the greatest one
Light the path I have chosen
Lead me away from these wintry meadows
Show me the way of the treacherous shadows
But nothing lasts forever
Even this fire I have inside

Fire burns wild in the mountains
It burns deep inside my heart
It burns away the harmony of space and time
But from the ashes, new worlds will rise

Fire! The oldest one
Burns wild inside my frozen heart
Fire! The greatest one
But I can never understand the way of the fire
Fire! The oldest one
Gives light to my chosen path, so dark
Oh, fire!
We can never tame the way of the fire

Flames in the darkness reaching the stars
Million sparks rise, dancing into the sky
I'm mesmerized by the blaze, I'm tempted to adjust my fate
So long, I've been longing for the feeling, the feeling of tranquillity

I will leave this wretched world behind
- Before it falls apart -
I see the skies so calm, and I can't wait anymore
- I can't wait anymore -
Coldness of winter night
I will find my way somehow
- I will find my way -
Beyond the stars, a new world awaits me now
- A new world awaits -

Through the fields of snow, we walk
The endless path of stars
Will we reach the horizon?

Come, follow me, eternal star
I will guide you away from the dark
Through the coldness of winter night
We'll find our way in the blaze of the fire's light
The sun of the fading dream
I can almost reach it, but it's still so far away
The fire will die in our hearts
When it's time to leave this world behind

We shall leave this world behind!

Fire! The oldest one
Burns wild inside my frozen heart
Fire! The greatest one
But I can never understand the way of the fire

- We shall leave this world behind -
Fire, the oldest one…
- The fire will die in our hearts -
Fire, the greatest one…

And we can never understand the way of the fire!
- We shall leave this world behind -
- The fire will die in our hearts -
The way of the fire!

These black clouds in the sky will follow me
Through the end of time
They won’t leave me alone
They will always be there in the sky
The dark shadows in the night are restless
Until the day I die
They will always be there
Haunting in the cold and misty night

Darkness in my eyes
And a sorrow so deep inside
Oh, how dark is the light
That follows me through this empty life

The old and dying sun
Warms me with a light so weak
And when that light is gone, I know it’s too late
To say to you what I feel
The warmth of the dying sun
Caress me one more time
The feeble light will soon be gone
Please shine for me one last time
One last time!

So hard I've tried to face the truth
So hard I've tried to live
But now it's time to leave the past behind
And join the night...

So hard I've tried to face the truth
So hard I've tried to live
But now it's time to leave the past behind
I am now one with the shadows
One with the shadows!

[Instrumental]

I dreamt of caressing winds and sparkling springs...
I dreamt of crystal air and mountain streams...
I dreamt of birds singing on a lonely tree...
But then the ominous clouds surrounded my dreams...

The burden gets heavier every day, and the passion is dying
And when it's all gone, all I can do is wither away
I swore that I would never put myself through this again
But I was seduced by the storm
And I knew I'd have to fight this to the end

Whirlwinds - growing
Raging - and screaming
Star skies - burning
Nightmares - devouring the light
Darkness - so black
Closing - in so fast
Shadows - haunting in my dark dreams
Dark dreams - I'm drowning into the dark

I'm heading into the storm
My heart is burning like fire
The poison is flowing in my veins
It's killing my senses and turning my blood into grey
Something is draining my strength
Something is trying to control me
I roam in the shadows
I'm fighting the demons of my dreams
But they won't leave me alone
Leave me alone!

I had to leave everything behind
I had to make a sacrifice
So I could capture the essence of time
- I shall capture the essence of time -
I needed to hide - in the dark
I needed to - get away
From the sad words that you whispered to me
They remained torturing in my mind
And it's driving me insane
You drove me insane!

Oh, how wistful and pale is the look in your eyes
There was nothing we could have done, this light was bound to die
Oh, how soon the skies turned to crimson and black
And the great shadow surrounded this beauty so fast
Oh, how suddenly a dark chaos was born
And the love in my heart was ripped away by the might of the storm

But the memory will stay whirling in the winds of time
Forever!
And the love in my heart was ripped away by the might of the storm
We never had the chance to say goodbye
But the memory will stay whirling in the winds of time
Forever! Forever!
And the love in my heart was ripped away by the might of the storm!

The morning wind
Oh, it whispers so carefully
It's so quiet here
Yet thunder roars at the dark mountains
The seasons are passing like days
And I feel the coldness surrounding me
A long, long sleep
Is all that I need now

Time is flowing so fast
And soon, there's nothing left of us
The more we wait, the more we regret
So please don’t wait anymore
Tides will bring new life
But tomorrow, it all could be over
I've got so much in my life
But all I can think and all I can see is you

Stormy skies surrounding me now
And soon everything will turn into dark
But I still see the beauty inside your eyes
And when I die, I’m buried with the silver leaves

If only, if only I could understand my dreams

Watching alone the purple-blue sky
I feel so blind without stars in the night
Standing alone here, just waiting to die
It's so dark here without your shining light

Can't you see that I'm trying
Can't you see that I'm trying
Can’t you see that I'm dying

Shine like the sun before time fades away
Behind the horizon, I will wait for you
There's still a little time left, but if I should die
Know that I fought so hard and died a warrior's death

If only, if only I could understand my dreams
If only, if only I could cross the stormy seas

Joskus näen sut vielä uudestaan
Mut aikani on lopussa
Jätän palasen minusta
Luo hopeisten lehtien
Joskus kuulen vielä hiljaisuuden
Täyttävän tämän tyhjyyden
Ja lopulta hautaudun luo hopeisten lehtien
