Spring came in one day
The clouds in front of the moon Tore themselves to shreds So that two moons passed in one night Winter went and spring came And the clouds tore of their clothes Washed them in the rivers of rain And naked in the dark they stayed Waited for their cloaks to dry They darkened the face of the moon They would have tried to kill it If they could have reached that far As it spied on the clouds Winter went and spring came And the clouds tore of their clothes Washed them in the rivers of rain And naked in the dark they stayed Waited for their cloaks to dry They've taken off in the rivers of heaven They've taken off 02. House Of Sleep Music by Holopainen Lyrics by Joutsen
I will never sleep alone (never without you)
Whatever you say to me I already know If I said something to you You would take those words There's so much power in those words (You don't know) You don't know nothing yet About the dreams I have I will make you sleep (You don't know) You don't know nothing yet About the dreams I have Sleep is a house for lovers You will be the mistress (of that house) You will be given the wide belt And the big key to the gate If I said something to you You would take those words There's so much power in those words (You don't know) You don't know nothing yet About the dreams I have I will make you sleep (You don't know) You don't know nothing yet About the dreams I have Sleep is a house for lovers 03. Leaves Scar Music by Holopainen Lyrics by Joutsen
Fate changed
Life healed like a wound How does the kind of life heal That leaves such a scar? I cover myself, I uncover myself Now I know how to do things No longer will I listen to any talk Now I know and it's working Everything hurts inside of me Out from the frozen lake She finally grew into her full might She grew from a tiny thing On this lake as I drove there to meet her Now I know how to do things No longer will I listen to any talk Now I know and it's working Everything hurts inside of me I cover myself, I uncover myself Now I know how to do things No longer will I listen to any talk Now I know and it's working Everything hurts inside of me Now I know how to do things No longer will I listen to any talk Now I know and it's working Everything hurts 04. Born From Fire Music by Kallio Lyrics by Joutsen
I have a mind, a good memory
Here's how my life begins I wasn't born from a woman's thighs But from fire I dwell on that dream I don't want that to fade I keep that dream Until the axe does all that work I was kept under the table Raised from their sigh I was worthless 'til the day When flames did all the work I dwell on that dream I don't want that to fade I keep that dream Until the axe does all that work On the day I was born They denied my rights Even the right to die 05. Under A Soil And Black Stone Music by Kallio Lyrics by Koivusaari
No longer I was breathing
No more bleeding Inside the urn Under a soil and black stone Under a soil and black stone And I was listening And felt no pain To the sunrise to east I'll leave my grief To the stars shine Casting my eyes by the long nights Blessed I was To rest then Inside the urn Under a soil and black stone And I was listening And felt no pain To the sunrise to east I'll leave my grief Soil upon me So fragile As a veil Without secrets The staring Space so wide And I was listening And felt no pain To the sunrise to east I'll leave my grief 06. Perkele (The God Of Fire) Music by Etelavuori Lyrics by Joutsen
I, I woke up
The God of fire woke me up At the edge of burning ground I'm, I'm damned To put out the fire My hand is a trap for that fire It won't surprise me in my dream My dream wakes me up, instantly Without a word my hand is a trap Trap for that fire I, I drown it with water I kill it on the spot It won't have time to run far It won't get away from me It won't surprise me in my dream My dream wakes me up, instantly Without a word my hand is a trap Trap for that fire 07. The Smoke Music by Holopainen Lyrics by Joutsen
In my dream smoke followed me
As on fire the whole world had been To the yard I walked in Up the frontstep and opened the door Cranes flew over to the north As I walked on dry And passed through a grove Yellow with flowers They had been expecting me They said so and I believed In my dream smoke came to me And we became as one Cranes flew over to the north As I walked on dry And passed through a grove Yellow with flowers I am smoke 08. Same Flesh Music by Kallio Lyrics by Joutsen
That's what my sister says
And during that day Came spring and summer Oh, when did you fly here? It was you that I found The same flesh and blood (My flesh) It was you that I found (My blood) It was you that I met One just like me, same flesh and blood (My flesh) It was you that I found (My blood) It was you that I met One just like me, my flesh and blood A hard place, this world And nowhere else Does one make so many mistakes? What's done is done Done and gone The same flesh and blood (My flesh) It was you that I found (My blood) It was you that I met One just like me, same flesh and blood (My flesh) It was you that I found (My blood) It was you that I met One just like me, my flesh and blood (My flesh) It was you that I found (My blood) It was you that I met One just like me, same flesh and blood (My flesh) It was you that I found (My blood) It was you that I met One just like me, same flesh and blood (My flesh) It was you that I found (My blood) It was you that I met One just like me, my flesh and blood 09. Brother Moon Music & lyrics by Holopainen
Free flowing water
The air is so warm It breathes for you It sees through you before the storm And if the lake can't Be the sister To the moon To the river To the sun The leaves are falling Cutting the moonlight They brake the waves Gazing to the stars And if the lake can't Be the sister To the moon To the river To the earth I know I wouldn't be strong Wouldn't be brother to the moon I know I wouldn't be strong Wouldn't be the sister to the woods Here is another soul Another path Another God I know I wouldn't be strong Wouldn't be brother to the moon I know I wouldn't be strong Wouldn't be the sister to the woods 10. Empty Opening Music by Holopainen Lyrics by Joutsen
A beautiful day when it's over
Clouds high up in the sky A beautiful day when it's over Nobody will bury me In this wicked world, the war I live In this wicked world, to war I go Here's my good life, the best I ever have How did I get here? Beautiful yard, trees up against the sky There is an empty opening They only live for one summer This world is too good for me In this wicked world, the war I live In this wicked world, to war I go Here's my good life, the best I ever have How did I get here? 11. Stonewoman Music by Koivusaari Lyrics by Joutsen
[Lyrics are based on a single tale from Kalevala, Kullervo's Story]
You have a woman here One made of stone You made her for yourself You piled her up Made a stone face Stone fingers and eyes There's no room beside her For another woman Alive and breathing one It makes me sad to see You have made a woman Out of rock and wood Grasses and tree bark To lie beside you, beside you There's no room beside her For another woman Alive and breathing one I made that stone woman For you to see me and say I am here |
