- Across The Snows
He came along across the snows
Spitting curses from his mouth
Striding through the icy land
Grasping steel within his hand
Humiliation he suffered
Such that a man cannot forgive
But must deliver revenge
- After The Storm
by morning it had blown over
we ventured out to see what remained
it had been creeping closer and closer
but so far we'd dodged it time and time again
I used to try just to live my life, a simple life
I was afraid to own up to the truth
we're not like you, we will never be content
- Aftermath
Snakes in your mouth
Their tongues whisper a venomous lie
So well disguised
They deceive even you
They're not to blame
They're just part of this game
Where egos make the moves
- And The North Star Cried
Long ago when the gods were still young and guarded the heavens
With might the four furious winds swept across the snows
Proud, fearless and free the children of Ukko walked the Earth
And at dusk they sang anthems to the welkin
and their beloved North Star
...And still she smiled upon the Earth
- Behind The Glass
In my dreams I'm slowly ascending
the stairway that leads to strength
though I know that my soul is descending
down the path that is dark and filled with sorrow
it is the road many young men have travelled
and surely I will follow
- Black Rose Withered
Star Eyes, you've lit the night so many times
have the tears now diminished your light
Star Eyes, something wrong with your soul
have the started taking their toll
can you still find confort in the joy and the laughter
of past nights
do they quicken you still in the morning after
- Bleeding Strings
The reigning king, high priest of the sonic fire
Baptizing the world with a roaring flame
Lord of the strings,
Born to sweep the world like a fifth wind,
Now gone, but echoing beyond forever
Burning with passion and with grace,
Every night you set the world ablaze
- Conqueror
Divine, unscarred and electrified...
Such words of power echo through your mind
Never stop and never break
There's always time to rest in your grave
No time to play around
Move fast or the world will bring you down
Throughout your trials you'll sweat and bleed
- Cry Little Angel
No chance of an escape
A war of roses, hearts astray
As others like them they lived just to take
I failed this one last time
Honesty my only crime
Just couldn't see behind that deceiving smile
- Heart And Will
Calm and still
Emotions do not disarm me
Heart and will
See what my eyes cannot see
Once I'm here I will not stray
On this path I will remain
- Kiuas War Anthem
we come with a calmness
that only years spent out there can give you
we stand out - we wear it with style
from the ranks of the gifted,
a single line of excellence - lifted
it's time purge your ears with flames
wall of sound - cutting your head -
- Light Are Many
The glass in front of me, half empty
Why do I fill it with what only poisons me
Is it the hope that lives inside
That hungers forevermore
Is it the child high on his dreams
Clinging on to his fantasy world
Who wants me to walk through the flames
- Lights Are Many
The glass in front of me, half empty
Why do I fill it with what only poisons me
Is it the hope that lives inside
That hungers forevermore
Is it the child high on his dreams
Clinging on to his fantasy world
Who wants me to walk through the flames
- Of Ancient Wounds
Once long ago,
Guiding them across the open steppe
On their land the sun god rose and set
They ran and rode like the wind
Their hearts and future open wide
As free children of the earth and sky
Brothers rise and greet the pagan sun
- Of Love, Lust And Human Nature
Sweet lips, intoxicating
Sultry eyes that stare, waiting
To lure the hungry heart
Into a deadly trap
Innocent and pure, it seems
On both of us the shadow feeds
Perverted are its needs
- Of Sacrifice, Loss And Reward
stronger than ten tied with blood put together
cooler than shades on a statue of ice
more prestigious than words bound in leather
always untouched by the ignorant lies
I've finally seen
myself
through the eyes of others
- On Winds of Death We Ride
Чистая душа молодая, брошены в этот мир,
- Остался один, в холодной
Голодное сердце горит вкус к жизни,
Но злой есть плоть и быстро семена зла
Расти
Как соблазн ждет в тени ночи
Мы зажег фитиль, который медленно сжигает нашей жизни
- Race With The Falcons
O' mighty one, thou who once reigned the earth and sky
I call you, come forth from the darkness
Grant me the knowledge to see all and an engine of war,
With it to strike down my foes,
- Song For The Fells
Song For The Fells
silently and high we stand where we've been for ages
carved from the primal matter an infinity ago
lone eagle soars by and greets us with it's echoing cry
silently we welcome him to join us under the evening sky
we - we are the witnesses of countless legends
- The Decaying Doctrine
Since the dawn of civilization
The so-called men of god
Have been lost in their obscurities
Their words would lead to sorrow
Commanding the weak to follow
A design for tyrants to control and enslave
We subdue not the voice inside us
- The New Dark Age
It's a sign of the times
That dead are the minds of men
And how long before the world grows cold
See the scars on your face
They tell the future you are blind to
Again and again
Sad is the fate of the human race
- The Quickening
Scorched once by the fire
On one of those long trips to hell
And my demons are still alive and well
Dark reflections
Of what I have left behind
Haunt my rest and leave me tired
- The Spirit of Ukko
Greetings, we are here tonight
To bring the flames of Ukko to your hearts
On this black night the stars are aligned
These ancient fireworks play their parts
Born from the dark to light a flame
What once had died shall rise again
- The Summoning
words spoken without intent
songs borrowed and used and spent
I need myself to remember
what I tend to forget
in realms hidden in the mind
where power and thruth reside
the beast sleeps waiting to
hear its burden call
- The Visionary
To dreams of might
In his mind's bleeding light
Securely the dreamer is bound
Building his empire in the clouds
That will come to exist through sound
In his dreams he would show them all
Declaring in hard, silent words
- Thorns Of A Black Rose
Passion has enslaved my heart and cursed my soul
How could I have known such a beautiful thing could be so cold?
I saw something that I'd never seen before
A flower so graceful yet cruel invaded my heart with a violent storm
Black rose why do you pierce me with your thorns?
Black rose for you this poor soul was born
Black rose can't you see inside this cold and shattered heart of mine?
- Through The Ice Age
A cold and icy world lies around me
I journey on with a weapon of might to conquer all
A heart forged out of flame,
Bearing my name,
Burning everything that stands in my way
Yearning the world for itself
- To Excel And Ascend
Observe this shell this wondrous creation
Why is it forced to ache and to bleed?
Wise men, of old, promised to end the suffering
But their legacy planted the seeds of war
I've dreamt the dream of true revelation
It struck me down then forced me to rise
- Until We Reach The Shore
The ship of life sets out on its course
Sending out a challenge to the gods
As the cold black sea waits silently
We embark to find our destiny
Left alone in the arms of fate
The world sees and feels our every move
With an open restless mind
- Warrior Soul
Somewhere within the darkest moors
Between black cliffs like the devil's teeth
A child was born with a warrior's heart
Son of the stars, of ice and flame
He marches with pride in his every step
With an iron will and a mind sharp as a demon blade
But darkness builds up in his mind
- Winter In June
Fall on me black snow
(fall on me black snow)
Freeze my lonely soul
(freeze my lonely soul)
Thrown off the edge by a cold hard winter breeze
I break inside as the black snow falls on me
