Amorphis все тексты (слова) песен, переводы, видео, клипы

We wandered through strange lands
Traveling ever northwards
Crossing valleys, over mountains
To the shores of distant seas
As the world grew frozen and pale
Flowers withered, grass was dying
The thickest trees has lost their leaves
Wind brought in the scent of winter

The Devil weds a widow
Death another’s leftovers
Better to lie on a willows
Rest on alder boughs
Than upon a widow’s pillow
Sweeter the side of a fence
Than a widow’s flank

Tear dimmed rememberance
In a womb of time
Breath upon me
Possessed by the passion
Fate will set you free
Infertile
Chased be the precious
When flesh is an enemy

I must be out of my mind as I hear you call
My name is even though I can't see you anywhere
Surely this feeling is coming from something
Someone gave me yesterday as I searched for you
And I hear you call
I hear you call my name
But when I turn around
There's nothing to be found

Break down the weirs in the brooks
Crush the bulwarks of my soul
Let the rapids run white and foaming
The bad blood cut off my ears
The bad blood blinded my eyes
The bad blood choked up my mouth

Draw the poison from my veins

BATTLE FOR LIGHT

She robbed the moon from the sky
Derailed the sun off its course
Inside her mountain enchained the light
She took the wisdom for her own

The sun no longer shines on us

Better it would be for me
And better it would have been
Had I not been born, not grown
Not been brought into the world
Not had to come to this earth
Not been suckled for the world

If I’d died a three-night--old

Terror, when the darkness binds your limbs
Terror, when the fear freezes your nerves
Horror, when the pain climbs up your veins
Darkness, creeping under you skin
Moment of life
when we all have to choose
which way to go
and for whom to sacrifice your life

This is how the lucky feel
How the blessed men think
Like a daybreak in spring
The sun on spring morning

Like the flat brink of a cloud
Like the dark night in autumn
But how do I feel

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

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

Got a maid from the lands of north
A wife from lands so strange
The work of gods was at last replaced
By days and nights of men

She wakes beside me
She stands by me
She stares at our sky

CRACK IN A STONE

In the North, a prisoner of darkness
In black court, a victim of sleep
Slither like a snake I tried
A mole under the soil

A king, a fool trapped in a strange land

In the twilight when he steps forth
In the bend of the dark path
When he catches up with you
You won't know if he's on your side
Or if he will turn against you

And in the dead of a moonless night
As your path turns into the black

When the dawn is bright and new
And the day is full of hope
It's easy to continue yo journey
Like a king on his royal way

Ya will stand there amidst silence
In the void of endless winter
On the ice of an unknown lake

Last day brings the grace
For bearers of forbidden name
Step into five fold mace
As son as father in a frame

[Chorus:]
Someday fire wipes the rain
Fears are frozen tears whisper

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, best I ever have

Upon my birth came close to death
I wore the night dark skies tucked me in
Stranded in the mire of sorrows
The lightless caves in ravines

Chorus:

The power rushed over me

They will come, the heinous thoughts
Silently from the lair
Hunched and crouched, they will come
Reeling us under their might

As they emerge, from the darkness of my heart
Born of the night, concealed in seeds of fear

ESCAPE

Therein lie the nets of iron
Snares of copper made
They offered drinks that lull to sleep
Of everlasting chains

But I changed my mortal shape

[lyrics & music: E. Holopainen]

A wave the sound of Noisiu's voice
his singing was ever sweet...
Noisiu's grave has now been made
and the accompaniment was mournful

For him I poured out - hero of heroes,

Darkness was my light
Muteness was my tongue
Death was my life
Matter was my spirit

I am a brother to the fire
To fire a brother I am
From breast of maidens three

To a strange land, land of Pohjola
I took my gift, I received it from the gods
I melted the knowledge of heaven
From the pieces of my heart I built a golden mill

I made the heavens, I delivered them
I gave the horn of plenty, released them

[lyrics & music: E. Holopainen]

I shall have a son,
out of Cornwall shall he come,
that shall be a wild boar,
bristled with steel...
he shall be a man most brave and
noble in thought

Not thirsty am I for the blood
Of redeemer of thy greed
My hunger can't be satisfied
With flesh of thy nazarene
No gilded streets of heaven's grace
Entice me in thy speech
No holy mother doth condone
All your pillage war and greed

The sea rose and fell
The waves were crashing
Thrashing a piece of wood
Against the rocks
The surf took it ashore
A strange stick I found
To pick up and ponder
And turn in my hands

The spirit of clouds I am
And the spring creeks singing
A stillness within a river great
A rainbow on the falls
A blackness of waters
The spirit of man
In a warrior straw-haired

Only one can make me do my good deeds
only one and the shadow of that one
only one can make me do my evil deeds
only one and the shadow of that one

Her alone I will lend my ear to
only her will I obey
her alone I will always want to serve

Under the vault of heavens
I stood alone, waiting
The blaze of silver shining in my eyes
My hands of gleaming gold
The red of iron in my veins
The blue of steel in my bones
The sparkle of blackness of coal in my hair
My chest golden with waved

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

I was born as all the world here was born,
As those words and stories of the primeval song;
I need no bow, I need no sword,
My kingship's known to gods:
Let this song go on.

I need you to be the guide,
The mirror to the sky and sea!

Fate changed

In the darkness I will shine, cast no shadows, not define
I walk on water, float on air, there's no other to compare
I have this fascination, no cause for deviation
It's called levitation

There's no cause to start and scream, nor rub your eyes,
This is no dream

In the bowels of rocky mountain
A fiery bird I forged
Forged from iron, from molten steel
A flaming eagle majestic beast

On the wings of my eagle
To black river I flew
To the dale of the dead

On the blue waters of mermaids
I was sailing on the blue
Brought up a catch of strangest wonder
On the blue

And I drew my knife to gut
What I had taken from the blue
But it was gone, back to the lake

Up high in the north
At the end of my rocky road
I heard the call
My feet had betrayed me
I was carried forth
To a place of healing
Where I was made again
And they sang me my song

He set out to take my life
And the power of my soul
His spells against my might
My wrath he did ignite

Your brain replaced by mine
Your mind changed into mine
You lose sight of yourself

Slowly turns the key of time
In the lock of promises broken
In mute silence of my space
I crouch under my yearning

The works of my gods receding now
Evade my grasping hands

n the light, light of the fire
Blaze of my life flame
I watch the sunrise

I watch the moon, it's passing by
I watch the sparkling stars
Lights of the sky

Old folk remember
And those today learn
How before their time
Life was different here

Without the sun people lived
Groped about without the moon
With candles sowing was done

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

Your fear, your flesh
Cruel horror, your fate

Cursed shroud, your void
Dust to dust, you''re feel harm

In your eyes we shall fall
Torture of death

When I am broken, when I depart
When my eyes stray from yours
When I no longer know you, my love
When I am broken, when I depart

Fear not for me, weep not for me
For finally I am released
Fear not for me, weep not for me

I have brought this treasure
Berries red and apples golden
From the soil from these grounds
Would you take them as your own

Come before the winter's gale
Before the frost and snow
Take what I will give you

From trails of wolves
From paths of bruin
From fen-depths and mountain winds
Raised into the light I was
Separated apart I was

I am of air
I am water

Mother wept for her son
She wept and sang
Anxiously pondered fate
His and her own

A sun’s ray, in through the eye
Glimmered in the room of mind
Changing the woman shape

Show me the way I am your next turn
Damage done, it's time to burn
Crying eyes I can't still see
Through up in loud

You want to be:
It's too late
The end of the pray

True Celtic power
from the cape of Cornwall
Cry of hope, angels cry
This was omen, our sign, prediction

In this proud land I grew up strong,
My tears are flowing all around
The wind is twisting my sorrow

A day's light told me of my son's fate
The sun showed the way, grim and severe
Pulled under the raging waters, my child
Sank in the drowning currents, my son
My son
My son

My strength is not enough, my powers failed me

A day"s light told me of my son"s fate
the sun showed the way, grim and severe
pulled under the raging waters, my child
sank in the drowning currents, my son

My strength is not enough, my powers failed me
I need the heavens help, I ask for thunder"s force
I plead for you oh lightning, forge an iron tool

From the misty dreams of nighttime
I sought the clarity of my days
From the shades of longing
Looked for the familiar glow
The death of my wife's slayer
Brought no comfort to me
No shape from loneliness
For a dream

From my world the sun faded
And the moon from my sky was gone with stars
I came home to a bleak room of sorrow
Forsaken house, place of grief, in solitude

I listened to my heart beating
The faint rush of my blood
I listened to my heart beating

Inside this nonexistence
I know very clearly
The directions, all the points
Of every potential quarter

I forge my wisdom
Into an arc surrounding all
I forge my heartbeat

THE SONG OF THE SAGE

No man nor a god, with a sword he carved
With a feather he conjured
An instrument from the bone of fish
A kantele from the jaws of a pike
Sat on a golden rock, on a bank of a golden river
By the brink of golden falls, under the golden sun

What the thrush toils at
The partridge asks for
The hapless one takes
The troubled one steals
Puts upon a spade
Sets on a runner
Hides under a door
Shields with a bath-whisk

I rose and raised, the others with me, too
I shared the ancient wisdom
And taught the ways to be

I sang the charms of stars
And sowed the land with strength
I set the abodes for men
And steered the rightful roads

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

Where have you been, where have you been
My son, my merry son?
On the seashore, on the seashore
Mother, my darling one.
And what have you been doing there
My son, my merry son?
I have been watering my horse
Mother, my darling one.

The nations search for treasure
And beasts rise from their tombs
Kings revel in triumph
All succumb to shadows in their own turn

The fish spawn, the birds nest
The roses bloom and wither away
The winds lash, the leaves decay

As I sense their steel,
As I see the mighty one,
As we all gather once again
The gods of war summon us...
Summon us

North wind blows to our valley
Men with ships, with swords, with honour

[lyrics: E. Holopainen]
[music: T. Koivusaari]

In his eyes
The evil spirit rise
Turns to darkness with Satan's name

"As the time is right

Carried by restless winds
Under the crimson cloud
I sailed the purple waves
Aboard my comely ship
The ship wsa adorned with banners
With flags dedicated to its sails
A spirit summoned to its sails
Emblems painted with blood

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

Behold this man on the road
Посмотри на этого человека на дороге,
The burden that he holds
На бремя, которое он несет.
He lost it all but still he carries on
Он потерял все, но все-таки держится.
The dead are left behind

Forging future from the timeless stone
Oh let me know how far I can go
Answering the questions that no one ever asks
Float through the sea of madness and face the everlasting task

So lonely to wander, so sad to be alone
In the mist of the unknown
Trying to fool myself with dreams that never come true

We wandered with the wolves in pursuit
The hunger hot on our heels
Scenting our bloody tracks
The fear that fails not to smell fear
Seemed we had the same direction
Following the fleeing deer
With fiery eyes watching each other
Cautiously circling and stalking

THREE WORDS

From all the four corners
From the heights beyond the changing skies
From in between the golden stars
From lands of dead below

I seek the magic for my spell

I have known the arcane lore
On strange roads such visions met
That I have no fear nor concern
For hatred and obstacles of this world

By stone-shooed wanderer I am taught
My visions from fiery eyed iron-armed chanter
I know how to fight, I know how to sing

Somewhere there's a tree of ages
Heavens hanging from its branches
Cradling worlds beneath its shadows
Its seeds give birth to tomorrow
Universes coil its trunk
And heavens rush above its crown
It dances without moving
It is the tree of ages

Spring it 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 clothed
Washed them in the rivers of rain

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

I retired a towering mountain
Laid down in a circle of stones
For three days and for three nights
I listened to the skull of a bear
The sun burnt its sigil into my chest
The rain washed the evil away
Time spun itself around me The moon cast its silvery shell
I rose up in circle of stones

VULGAR NECROLATRY

Erosion of life I see
It makes the passion burn in me
Life it always withers away
Death will eternally stay

Corpses in their coffins

Come to me my spirit bird
Pull the hair out from my head
Peck the eyes from shiny skull
Tear the tongue from my mouth
Carry me up to the crag
Shove me down into the sea
Sink me in the swirling eddies
Down into the deepest depth

As the sun falls down
and the swell crashes into the shore

The great warriors of doom and wind
ride high
Silent is the silence,
the only breathing of horses sound,
Cold northern steel, shining blade, pleases us

A mind dejected, blood boiling with anger
the storm of the warpath, now sings in my heart
your pleadings, useless, I now shall disregard
I'll leave you to weep and to fear for me

I'm ready for my end
my hair I comb down
with resin into braids

As worms upon the forest floor
Swarming were they and a-stirring
Twisting upwards and a-swirling
As eagles soaring to the sky
With the eyes of dragonflies
Ears of eager leather wings
On the wings of black-throat divers
By the honeyed paws of bears
