Cold breeze blows in a misty grove
Making dying leaves fall on the forgotten one Sleeping in a frost-covered ground Waiting for someone to find his lonely grave And so did winter come over the grove With beautiful pure white snow Covering all tracks of struggle and fight Of an ending life In a grove sleeping Silently sighing Lonely, forgotten this wandering soul Coldness is creeping Only one sleeping In the grove covered with cold winter snow Northern winter in darkness and cold Makes the icy tears spring in his lonely soul Sitting next to his own frozen corpse He wishes he could rest and haunt no more After the winter came a blooming spring White wood anemones within Where his body rested flowers turned red As if marking his bloodstained bed In a grove sleeping Silently sighing Lonely, forgotten this wandering soul Coldness is creeping Only one sleeping In the grove covered with cold winter snow 02. Incubus Music by Tuomas Seppälä Lyrics by Heidi Parviainen
Preacher:
"It's not a dream and it's not your imagination" I'm lying in my bedroom restless at nights And feeling someone's lying next to my side I hear a heavy breathing Someone's next to me and watching me! Incubus: Sweet dreams now come to me Your flesh is so weak! I sense and know it's presence yet I'm asleep! Someone is preying upon my sleeping mind! Whispering, calling, desiring And squeezing with all its might It's trying to take over and choke me! A nightmare seizes me in a freezing grip I feel cold fingers running, taking a grip This spirit's lurking in my sleep And giving in I'll sleep forever more! Incubus: Sweet dreams now come to me Your flesh is weak! I sense and know it's presence yet I'm asleep! Someone is preying upon my sleeping mind! Whispering, calling, desiring And squeezing with all its might It's trying to take over and choke me! Preacher: The flesh is weak Walk in the spirit And ye shall not fulfill The lust of the flesh! I sense and know it's presence yet I'm asleep! Someone is preying upon my sleeping mind! Whispering, calling, desiring And squeezing with all its might It's trying to take over and choke me! 03. Kokko - Eagle Of Fire Music by Tuomas Seppälä Lyrics by Heidi Parviainen
Fire has left Väinölä's hearth stones
Light has gone Dark nights no light under the sky Hard to find the fire-child Eagle of fire with fiery feathers Made a spark Ukko made the Kokko's spark Kindle as a fire Fly into the night bring back the light That left the hearth stones Find the light Eagle of fire Fly through skies let there be light! Dark skies ablazed with fire When Kokko flew across the heavens After the child, the child of fire Floating through the vaults of ether Ether maidens cradled the fire child In starry skies Slipped through the hands of Lady Ether Escaped from silver cradle Low descends the dome of heaven Upon, under On the edge of the ether The Clouds Of Northland Thunder Fly into the night bring back the light That left the hearth stones Find the light Eagle of fire Fly through skies let there be light! Dark skies ablazed with fire When Kokko flew across the heavens After the child, the child of fire Floating through the vaults of ether Fly into the night bring back the light That left the hearth stones Find the light Eagle of fire Fly through skies let there be light! Dark skies ablazed with fire When Kokko flew across the heavens After the child, the child of fire Floating through the vaults of ether 04. Willow Of Tears Music by Tuomas Seppälä Lyrics by Heidi Parviainen
In the shades of
The verdant forest Tender and mild winds Are washing the leaves Echoing whispers Lead me to valley Where a tree stands in A silver dress Leaves shaped of tears Of sorrow and lonely tears Gleaming in the light Of the rising sun The silvery leaves are Covering all my tears As I sit under The Willow Of Tears Whispers are calling In beaming dreamy air On the meadow where The willow and I Wait for the mist to come To dance on the silver pond It slowly guides us To eternal sleep Leaves shaped of tears Of sorrow and lonely tears Gleaming in the light Of the rising sun The silvery leaves are Covering all my tears As I sit under The Willow Of Tears Leaves shaped of tears Of sorrow and lonely tears Gleaming in the light Of the rising sun The silvery leaves are Covering all my tears As I sit under The Willow Of Tears 05. Shallow Waters Music by Tuomas Seppälä Lyrics by Heidi Parviainen
In the middle of the forest wild
He's kneeling in front of a pond so wide Staring into dark and silent waters He joins the stream taking the hand of other See how your brothers Lie in waters If you just let them hide their tears Shallow waters Eating brothers Darkest whirlpool Let me pass! Stream of sorrow Wide and narrow Let this sad soul Pass your halls! Shallow waters Eating brothers Darkest whirlpool Let me pass! Stream of sorrow Wide and narrow Let this sad soul Pass your hollow halls! In wells' abysses, he dwelled in dark and deep In the kingdom of Ahti he's the knight of eels Reclaiming from the stream my brother and my kin I'm reaching the great blackness that him binds See how your brothers Lie in waters If you just let them hide their tears! Shallow waters Eating brothers Darkest whirlpool Let me pass! Stream of sorrow Wide and narrow Let this sad soul Pass your halls! Shallow waters Eating brothers Darkest whirlpool Let me pass! Stream of sorrow Wide and narrow Let this sad soul Pass your hollow halls! I cannot breathe... I cannot breathe... 06. Lost Soul Music by Tuomas Seppälä Lyrics by Heidi Parviainen
Leaving his dreams and family
Leaving the life behind Searching his will and Searching his hope Searching the peace of mind Off to the valley Off to the shore Off to the seven seas Wandering man and Wandering soul Wander in land of dreams Now long and dark is the road And heavy is the load And you're about to fall Into emptiness, your Eyes are losing the light Take me into your arms Take away Take me with thee and flee Calm restless heart Calm sirens call Calm me before I fall Aching in me and Ache in my veins Ache from the venom sweet Forgive me my love I'm already lost No more for you to keep Now long and dark is the road And heavy is the load And you're about to fall Into emptiness, your Eyes are losing the light! 07. Sons Of Seven Stars Music by Tuomas Seppälä Lyrics by Heidi Parviainen
Before the Era of the human
The seven mighty bears Ruled the northern land with firm hands From the fellowship with human Were born the seven sons Who would people the cold Northland "They fled this world to the stars leaving their lands to their newborn sons!" Under seven stars, Seven stars of Great Bear, Grew the Seven Sons of Mighty bruin and man In stars the souls were raised, Souls were raised to our land Sons of Seven Stars Mighty bruin and brave man! In the veins of these young men Ran blood as thick as tar Fiery souls hungered to woodlands Through the dark backwoods they wandered And with only bare hands They ploughed the frozen, poor land "Force of the claws in their hands, Human hearts lived for their firtree lands!" Under seven stars, Seven stars of Great Bear, Grew the Seven Sons of Mighty bruin and man In stars the souls were raised, Souls were raised to our land Sons of Seven Stars Mighty bruin and brave man! Under seven stars, Seven stars of Great Bear, Grew the Seven Sons of Mighty bruin and man In stars the souls were raised, Souls were raised to our land Sons of Seven Stars Mighty bruin and brave man! 08. Saga Music by Tuomas Seppälä Lyrics by Heidi Parviainen
When one must overcome
And one must fight for light and some Came across the power of the sea Or the blowing of the North-wind Then were the times ahead For men in victory or death Still bravery of them is told in Saga! These stories are about the Honour of the brave men Stories about ancient feuds, Tales of worthy men Heroic deeds are part of History, then man's worth was Determinated by glory in battle In arms and war When one must overcome And one must fight for light and some Came across the power of the sea Or the blowing of the North-wind Then were the times ahead For men in victory or death Still bravery of them is told in Saga! Noble men the Sunborn sons They fought for their fatherland Next to their kings and their gods For their dignity These stories, the Sunborn Sagas, Seal the bravery Of young valiant warriors Riding to glory When one must overcome And one must fight for light and some Came across the power of the sea Or the blowing of the North-wind Then were the times ahead For men in victory or death Still bravery of them is told in Saga! 09. Snowmaiden Music by Tuomas Seppälä Lyrics by Heidi Parviainen
Made of snow is her heart and her soul,
Living only from winter ice and the breeze, so cold Daughter of Spring and Frost, No warmth in her heart Daughter of Spring and Frost No warmth in her heart until he came... Lel- oh- Lel- oh- Lel - play your flute again! Spring, warmth and sun will come and soon They will melt her heart! Spring came brighter and paler she grew, Tears rolled down from her eyes springing streams new Daughter of Spring and Frost, No warmth in her heart Daughter of Spring and Frost No warmth in her heart until he came... Lel- oh- Lel- oh- Lel - play your flute again! Spring, warmth and sun will come and soon They will melt her heart! There she stood before Lel barely alive, Falling onto the damp earth she looked at the sky Made of snow was her heart and her soul, Living only from winter ice and the breeze cold Daughter of Spring and Frost, No warmth in her heart Daughter of Spring and Frost No warmth in her heart until he came... Lel- oh- Lel -oh -Lel - play your flute again! Spring, warmth and sun will come and soon They will melt her heart! She vanished and a light mist rose slowly to the blue sky... 10. Lionheart Music by Tuomas Seppälä Lyrics by Heidi Parviainen
Fiercest hunter, Eye of Ra
Lady of Slaughter, Lionheart Balm for her heart were destruction and death Deserts rose, from a lethal dose of her steaming breath! She stalked the land with arrows of fire From her bloodlust flooded the red Nile Growing hunger and thirst lies within As Pharaos ride with a might of hot desert winds Fearless goddess the Lionheart Sekhmet, Eye of Ra Ablazing in a midday sun and heat of Sahara! Hunger of the Lionheart, Fiercest Daughter of Ra! The Nile is running blood-red Soothe the wildness of the lion goddess! Cobra and sun disk on her crown Colour of blood red was her gown Lioness deity with a grin Hunting for prey, in the light of the day she turns on and kills She slew the mortals who plotted against Ra Murdered the people around Sahara Bloodthirsty deity was tricked with a sight To drink from the Nile, abandon the fight and save humankind! Fearless goddess the Lionheart Sekhmet, Eye of Ra Ablazing in a midday sun and heat of Sahara! Hunger of the Lionheart, Fiercest Daughter of Ra! The Nile is running blood-red Soothe the wildness of the lion goddess! Fearless goddess the Lionheart Sekhmet, Eye of Ra Ablazing in a midday sun and heat of Sahara! Hunger of the Lionheart, Fiercest Daughter of Ra! The Nile is running blood-red Soothe the wildness of the lion goddess! 11. Morning Star Music by Tuomas Seppälä Lyrics by Heidi Parviainen

Birth Of The Harp Music by Tuomas Seppälä Lyrics by Heidi Parviainen
The ancient singer went
Lamenting through the forest, Heard the birch wailing Now drawing nearer he asks the sacred birch tree "Why art thou weeping?" Giving wood a shape of a harp! Weep no more thou sacred birch tree Grieve no more, my dear friend and my brother I will turn thy grief to joy and fortune Make thee laugh and sing with gladness and joy The ancient singer made A magic harp from birch wood Fashioned of summer He takes the harp in his hands Turns the arch up, looking skyward And magic notes follow! Weep no more thou sacred birch tree Grieve no more, my dear friend and my brother I will turn thy grief to joy and fortune! Make thee laugh and sing with gladness and joy! 13. The Omen
Shadows are getting longer
Moon is rising yonder Awaited moment is near! Welcome season Darkness, defeat season Lightness Luna, Selene, Mani! Child of the moon bringing us the omen! End of the harvest, shall start the darkness New fire will be now set alight Shadows will hide the moon, omen is spoken! Smoke is rising from the fires burning for harvest Welcome Samhain, dark time! To become again silent light of the moon still violent Ancestors join us tonight! Child of the moon bringing us the omen! End of the harvest, shall start the darkness New fire will be now set alight Shadows will hide the moon, omen is spoken! |
