Лесная поляна

1. Pilgrimage From Darkness

"Satan have you, this is your joy"

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

Blood cries
No one sees
No one hear
To reach the blessing of God

As the pump is dead
As the time is never lied
As the seven crows are flied
You can hear the calling

"As the time is right
Dead bodies rise up from their graves
And when the time comes near
Oh, I see the prince of glory"

Holy month
Sacred hounds
Under the hill
Do you hear their call?

2. Black Embrace

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

Invoke the god – pray
To lead you back to life – pray
Cursed by religion – hate
Learned upon church – fake

In the verge of hell,
Of human mind
Redemption of your soul,
As darkness binds you tight

Moment of life,
When we all have to choose,
Which way to go
And for whom to sacrifice your life

3. Privilege Of Evil

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

Punishes to life shame of chaos
Awaking them its bound of chaos

Locked in pain your flesh
Tearing horror of pain

We arise, rise in tomb
To terror in your eyes

4. Misery Path

We sail across the sea,
In our thoughts we float over mountains
All this vanity that we could hide
The truth

The truth is to be alive
And to live your life in fear by hate
And create our own gods

We all ourselves are created
Our own images
Ourselves we are created
Our own gods

In the misty morning
When the sun is rising,
When the whole sky is red like blood
Man can realize the real meaning of life
To love and respect your life

Your salvation,
or is just your damnation.

We all ourselves...

5. 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
forever rest in peace ?

There sleeping with the aspergillus
is this justice to the dead ?
The atrocious sight of burial ecremony
Christians weeping for the departed
They won't understand, they should envy them !

The deceased they know, if there's a paradise
Or shall we feel, the purgatory !
I open the graves, admire the rot
I can feel the presence, of something beyond

Aureola of nauseating reek
Wings of shriveled skin
Holy beauty of a carcass
Divine sight for me to gaze upon !
Necrolatic ! Reverence for putrefaction
Necrolatic ! reverence for the stench

I kneel, before a carrion
I pray, before the dead
I know, they shall rise
I fear, for the scourge
I revere, power of the dead

6. Excursing From Existence

Excursing from existence
Life flout away
Locks for arching will confused
Reach me stares pain

Ex-salvation dismal function
Life like dream fault really

Rebel decoying in ecstasy
We have propelled, we don't cry
Time with mercy
With alive past

Excursing from existence

I come out from other side
I come from sun feast upon
Domination of the other side... side
Excursing from existence

2. Into Hiding

The islander slips into hiding
and takes to his heels
out of dark Northland
the murky house of Sara
he whirled out of doors as snow
arrives as smoke in the yard
to flee from bad deeds

There he had to become someone else
he must change his shape
as an eagle he swept up
wanted to soar heavenward
the sun burnt his cheeks
the moon lit his brows

3. The Castaway

A bird flew out of Lapland
an eagle from the North East

One wing ruffled the water
and the other swept the sky
It's tail skimmed the sea

It flutters, it glides
it looks, it turns round

"Why, man are you in the sea
fellow, among the billows?"

4. First Doom

The mountains of north
shall erupt and flames
of darkland will rise

Hail to one who hails
Blood for one who blees

O you mistress of northland
queen of darkland
I may wash my hand of
the evil master's Blood

For that is no man's doom
which I bring
that is child's doom
and it shall be the First Doom

5. Black Winter Day

This is how the lucky feel
how the blessed think
like daybreak in spring
the sun on a spring morning

But how do I feel
in my gloomy depths?

Like the flat brink of a cloud
like a dark night in the autumn
a black winter day
no, darker than that
gloomier than an autumn night

6. Drowned Maid

I went to wash at the shore
I went to bathe in the sea
and there I, a hen, was lost

I, a bird
untimely died:
Let not my brother
ever in this world
Water his war-horse
upon the seashore!

Water of the sea
so much blood of mine
fishes of the sea
so much flesh of mine

Such the death of the young maid
end of the fair little hen

7. In The Beginning

I have a good mind
take into my head
to start of singing
began reciting

We seldom get together
and meet each other
on these poor borders
the luckless lands of the north

Those words we have got
from the North's furthest fields,
from the heaths of Kalevala

8. Forgotten Sunrise

Once I had a mind
and thoughts was given

But nowadays, in this evil age
all my sense is somewhere else

Once I had a soul
I was one with my god

But now I am abandoned
banished from these lies

Long my tale's been in the cold
for ages has lain hidden

I know how to bewitch fire
and how to fame flames
I know how to banish worms
and turn snakes away

9. To Fathers Cabin

O old man, good god
careful man of heaven
keeper of storm clouds
make misty weather
and create a tiny cloud
in whose shelter I may go

10. Magic And Mayhem

Hey there, tiny wench
my perpetual serf
put stew in a pot
bring water for the guest

Before we part
before your neck is broken
you strike first
Son of the north

11. Light My Fire

You know that it would be untrue
You know that I would be a liar
If I was to say to you
Girl, we couldn't get much higher

Come on baby, light my fire
Come on baby, light my fire
Try to set the night on fire

The time to hesitate is through
No time to wallow in the mire
Try now we can only lose
And our love become a funeral pyre

Come on baby, light my fire
Come on baby, light my fire
Try to set the night on fire, yeah

The time to hesitate is through
No time to wallow in the mire
Try now we can only lose
And our love become a funeral pyre

Come on baby, light my fire
Come on baby, light my fire
Try to set the night on fire, yeah

You know that it would be untrue
You know that I would be a liar
If I was to say to you
Girl, we couldn't get much higher

Come on baby, light my fire
Come on baby, light my fire
Try to set the night on fire
Try to set the night on fire
Try to set the night on fire
Try to set the night on fire

1. Black Winter Day

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

But how do I feel
In my gloomy depths?

Like the flat brink of a cloud
Like a dark night in autumn
A black winter day
No, darker than that
Gloomier than an autumn night

3. Moon And Sun

Where has the sun gone from us
Where is the moon lost to us
The moon will not gleam at all
Nor will the sun shine at all

Death opens its mouth
The son of the Northlander
Camo to look, to listen

"There beyond the river is hero walking"

He took one step and took another
To the north's shore he hurried
He drew his sword, wrenched the iron
Snatched from the sheath the harsh one
Upon whose point the moon shone
Upon whose hilt the sun flashed
Upon whose back a horse stands
He uttered a word, spoke thus,
"There the sun has gone from you
The sun gone and the moon lost"

4. Moon And Sun Part II: North's Son

Go, look at the moon
And inspect the sun!
Now they are in the sky
Right in their old places

Hail, moon, for gleeming
Fair one for showing your face
Dear sun for dawning
And daylight for coming up!

Dear moon, you're out from the rock
Fair day from the cliff
You've risen as a golden cuckoo
As a silver dove
Up to where you used to live

Fare well now upon
Your way, upon your journey
Sweetly end your curve beautifully
Come at evening into joy!

1. Better Unborn

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
Been lost in my swadding band
I'd have needed but a span of cloth
A span more of wood,
But a cubit of good earth
Two words from the priest
Three verses from the cantor
One clang from the bell

2. Against Widows

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

Softer the side of a groove
Than a widow's beside is

The Devil weds a widow
The grave one twice wed
A widow's hand is rougher
Than a dry spruce bough
With which she strikes the playful
Grabs the one who laughs
A widow has had her games
And spent a merry evening

3. The Orphan

The calloo's spirits are low
Swimming on the chill water
But the orphan's are lower
Walking down the village street

The sparrow's belly is chill
Sitting on the icy bough
But my belly is more chill
As I step from glade to glade

The dove's heart is cold
As it pecks the village rick
But I'm colder still
As I drink the icy water

4. On Rich And Poor

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

Without the sun people lived
Gropped about without the moon
With candles sowing was done
Planting performed with torches.

At the time we lived
Without the sunshine
Who had covered up our sun
And who had hidden our moon?

Without the moonlight stumbled
With our fists fumbled the land
With our hands we sought our roads
With hands roads, with fingers swamps
We could not live without sun
Nor manage without moonlight;
Who would seek out the sun
Who spy out the moon?
Who else if not God
The one son of God?

5. My Kantele

Truly they lie, they talk utter nonsense
Who say that music reckon that one kantele
Was fashioned by a god
Out of a great pike's shoulders
From a water-dogs's hooked bones:
It was made from the grief
Moulded from sorrow

Its belly out of hard days
Its soundboard from endless woes
Its strings gathered from torments
And its pegs from other ills

So it will not play, will not rejoice at all
Music will not play to please
Give off the right sort of joy
For it was fashioned from cares
Moulded from sorrow

6. Cares

Many rocks the rapid has
A lot of billows the sea
More plentiful are my cares
Than cones on a spruce
Beard moss on a juniper
Gnarls upon a pine bark
Knobs upon a fir
Husks on a grass-top
Boughs on a bad tree.

Drag my cares away
Carry off my griefs
For no horse can draw
No iron-shod jerk
Without the shaft-bow shaking off
The cares of this skinny one
The sorrows of this black bird

7. Song Of The Troubled One

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

The farmer hammers
And tempers his spears
Marries off his sons
Hands out his daughters
In boots clogged with clay
In fancy mittens

The sea-swell rumbles
And the wind it blows
And the king hears it

From five miles away
From six directions
From seven back woods
From eight heaths away.

8. Weeper On The Shore

In the vale where I once listened out for the light
Where the little birds warble
The ptarmigans babble
And my heart looked about for some rest from its trouble

I cast my eyes downward upon the seaside
And a fair young girl on the shore I espied
Who was sitting and weeping
To see the waves leaping
And over the skyline the sad vigil was keeping

O why are you weeping alone on the shore?
Now still from your eyes I can see the tears pour
What sorrow and smart
So pierces your heart
That even a midnight it will not depart?

9. Elegy

Long evenings full of longing
Low-spirited my mornings
Full of longing too my nights
And all the time the bitterest.
'Tis my lovely I long for
It is my darling I miss
My black-browed one I grieve for.

There's no hearing my treasure
No seeing my marten-breast
No hearing her in the lane
Driving below the window
Chopping the wood by the stack
Clinking outside the cook-house:

In the earth my berry lies
In the soil she's mouldering
Under the sand my sweet one
Beneath the grass my trasure
The one I grieve for.

1. My Kantele

Truly they lie, they talk utter nonsense
Who say that music reckon that the kantele
Was fashioned by a god
Out of a great pike's shoulders
>From a water-dog's hooked bones:
It was made from the grief
Moulded from sorrow

Its belly out of hard days
Its soundboard from endless woes
Its strings gathered from torments
And its pegs from other ills

So it will not play, will not rejoice at all
Music will not play to please
Give off the right sort of joy
For it was fashioned from cares
Moulded from sorrow.

2. The Brother-Slayer

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.

Why is there blood upon your feet
my son, my merry son?
My horse stamped with its iron shoe
mother, my darling one.

Why there is blood upon your sword
my son,my merry son?
I have stabbed my brother to death
mother, my darling one.

What now of you, where will you go
my son, my wretched son?
To other lands to foreign lands
my dame, my darling one.

When will you be returning home
my son, my wretched son?
When all the world to judgement comes
my dame, my darling one.

4. Levitation

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

Although I sit upon this chair, I rise and float up in the air
I have this fascination, no cause for deviation
It's called levitation
Magnetic force, repel-attract, once it starts, there's no turning back
I offer you this chance to learn, take it now there's no return

5. And I Hear You Call

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 must be 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

I must be dreaming a dream of a lunatic
My fingers taste like some strawberry ice-cream

I hear you call my name but I don't think it's
The same I heard you whisper in my ear

1. The Way

Forging the future from the timeless stone
Oh let me know how far I can go
Answering the questions thet 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
So hard to stand my ground
Never again will I fail

Will you tell me not to wait
Tell me to live for today

As the flowers wither
I will forget my pain
Since the stars have shone
The devil has shown me the way

2. Morning Star

You live only for yourself
Or send your soul to the heaven's grace
Been weak as the autumn leaves
Or strong as the growing seed
Swallowed into the black
Search for entrace

Wathc to the eyes of morning star
Beckon for the savior
But it's much too far
Reach for the infinity
The only thing that remains is decay

3. Nightfall

As a rot to rape the spring sown seed
A plague sprang forth of his tracks
Churns ran red when cows milked blood
And famine cracked poor backs

Who would hear a lament sad
Under the bright blue sky
That's sung in hovels dark and low
With eyes too weak to cry

But horror be the nightfall's gloom
For the man upon the road
When moon doth laugh at worthless lives
Twice hard for all promise showed

Empty stare upon his face
Nine fathoms deep
He set upon the road again
On ground that bears no seed

4. Tuonela

Sorrow is my bread
And tears I drink as wine
Oblivion my happiness
Ground under teeth of time

For cold be the stone
When frost ve devoured the land
Consolation is no gift
Of winter's icy hand

Upon a crust of snow
I'll lay my broken frame
What steel and iron won't take
I'll give in winter's name
No good a sullen sout no use a simple knave
No groom for brides of plaited hair
This man old and lame

If only I could breathe
To see the sun of may
but still longer are the nigths than days
As I wither away

Came the man of crown
With sound of war drums beat
Said no sword arm's strong enough
Without my two good feet

But not overlooked am I
In eyes of the maid I'll wed
I'll reap the crops of Tuonela
My bride's wealth in death

5. Greed

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

But know thee that all oceans worth
Of waters turned holy
Won't change the course of river
That runs inside of me
My blood flows ever skyward
And pools where thy black is white

For woulst thou not carme at my soul
With sword of thy supreme truth
Strike me down on my bended knees
For thy baptism so soothe

My blood flows ever skywawrd
And pools where thy black is white
Alone am I to raise my head
In the starless forest night

6. Divinity

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

Someday fire wipes the rain
Fears are frozen tears whisper
Things that no one heras
Cry now, cry now for me again
Tomorrows pride and pain
Why you kneel before my name

Crushing my belief
And make shape to my relief
For who you set your prayers
I can't hear them anyway

7. Shining

My soul is bleeding
I feel so small
Afraid that this will never end
I can't understand the pain in my bones
I sleep through another trance

Climb over the rainbow
From here you can see so much
I need someone to take me down
But who can you trust

Got so many things to say
But it's something I don't wanna be
Gotta get away case it's time to shine
Like a fallen angel I run
I won't ever see the sun
See the circle is now complete
Yet the harvest remains undone

Where hemlock grows and vermin crowl
All dreams descend with fear
Crushed by the darkness that wells inside
That beast I hold so dear

8. Withered

Withered be the flower
Long past it's prime and bloom
Forgotten on the stony bed
This silent hillside tomb
For coppered be the grip
Of this wooded land
A crude cold gauntlet
Hides the boney hand

Tears once warmed the ground
Torn out of eyes that could cry no more
Compassion for the wind to take
O doth pity the bastard poor
A life of misery and hate
Upon a chance a twist of fate
The poison from the goblet ran
Down the throat of her drunken man

9. Rusty Moon

Bahted in the rust of moon
Is the death beds lullaby
Sung so softly with the stars
Reflected in her eyes

It's the blaze that beckons men
Into the woods, of beaten path
Is the sight of the fire that
No maiden's eyes should have
Iron does as iron's told
And drinks of life's red gold
But shame won't leave with dying breathe
The life that wants it's own death

And the forest hums its silent hymn
Heard by those of solitude
As mist it wells
Up the brook's dark banks
Bewitched by there fir woods

10. Summer's End

In the morning mist by the waning moon
through the woods she set on foot
With a sacred blade cut the berries down
Dug up the dreaded mandrake root

Tread my path to summer's end
This bequest I leave you she says
You will see what could be evergreen
Turn to copper and fade to gray

By the standing stones
Atropine eyes smiled at me
Sitting in a sluggish vertigo
Sands of time form another dream
No love without sacrifice
No lige springs without decay
The final kiss is a wormy one
In soils cold caress to rest we'll lay

1. Alone

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
Fair weather man

step aside from the way of a better man than you
so you fall at his feet he's the one who betrays you
it's the servants devotion for the decay
stand up

there are no flowers on your grave
there are no chains
there I keep chanting for the forgotten name

why you feel so empty
and still have everything
it's fullfilment
I've got more companions
when I'm all alone
flesh is fetching

2. Goddess (Of The Sad Man)

Astonishment when I bend over you creep
Put a noose around my neck
Which side I deside it's my time to reap
It's your side wicked and deaf

Take me to the place I can sleep
Wipe away all misery
Turn my path away
From the mind tearing tragedy
Consuming range of vision
I can see they decline
It's a stay of execution
I fly free tonight

New moon laughs on it's own
Without compassion
I crawl through the realms unknown
And kneel to the goddess of the sad man

Inhale all mists from the shadows
And hide before the dawn
Face your mortal horror
You won't be reborn

Is he a proud man or just a fraud
Fooling himself with a losers talk
Punished to eternal vanity
It's thy destiny to cry for purity
You infidel slime
I grace insanity

satisfy my agony
I know what my goddess needs
I bet there's something wrong
inside my psycho creep
fire burns within her eyes
take me to the deadly ride
I remember how she was
when she choked on her own pride

3. The Night Is Over

We craved the light from the darkness
It's a morning of misfortune
The dawn of a mankind
Listen to me instead of a blind folk's speak
Forget the mature plan
We are but humans you'll see

I can hear the silence
See invisible emptiness
Tarnish the halo of your guidance
And the night is over

That women in grief
Luxurious gehenna
And what I have become
What I have done to you
Listen to me instead of a blind folk's speak
Forget the mature plan
We are but humans you'll see

4. Shatters Within

Once I was there
Standing outside
Looking in
Beside my window
Smiling face, shattering
It's an old man's pride
That climbs over understanding
It wasn't your child
That I was hurting

And I turn my back to the world
Well I don't care
What can I say if I see you all as dead

Under the dying sun it comes
Weaving fear but I have none
I know that mushroom cloud
Won't come very near
What do you have to believe in
And all the poison you breath in
The crystal heart shatters within

once I was there
standing outside
moving in
inside my window
crying face, shattering
take all that you have
and leave the rest for today
it's the old folk's sign
that took away your chastidy

5. Crimson Wave

She's riding on a crimson wave
Truth sat on her shoulder
Planets before melting face
The keys for the wounded
Sinking into underground
Please the one who wants it
Something is pulling you down
It's not the cravings why you need it

It's a rush hour inside my head
Don't wanna share the anguish
And I will take it away from you
Before you can change it

That bastard hallucination's pushing me
Like a damned I walk over
Touch the sky when it's burning red
Standing the ground I have chosen

Shivering in outer space
There's no one who can hear you
Getting into different state
It's like getting nowhere
Gathering all those fears and fails
There's no one who can see you
Someone is pulling you down
It's not the cravings why you need it

6. Drifting Memories

How does it feel
Blessed to receive
Be modest and forgiving
How does it feel
You can try to hate me
But you're only hurting yourself

Drifting in your shady memories
Where to go when sorrow breeds
Let the fear run through
Breath in black and stiffling air
All those words they disappear
No need to rest it's too early to die

You don't have to say
Why rue for that day
When you've open up your eyes again
Now it's your fate
Face your heart ache
You wish to make it unreal

7. Forever More

I walk down to the seashore
To bury my hate
I wait till the morning of the mourning
But it's too late
Down to the seashore
Through the illuminous gate
You wait for tomorrow but today is today
No one can understand my pain

Find me the ocean
Where waters stand still
Nothing can befall evermore
Find me the ocean which swallows all that floats
It's time to prevail your conspiracy

It's a whisper of a dead man
I've heard it before
It's yearning my emotions
Before I was born
It was only delusion
Of illuminous gate
'cause today is the day

Calm is the breath that breaks the circle of silence
Like the whisper of a dying man
Who was born in his own funeral
Time is right for the twisted one
Guide me to the center of the vicious goal
You're my prey, kiss my arrow the silver

8. Veil Of Sin

For the cold pale women
I leave some of my goodness
I leave the veil of sin
And let go my dreams

Eternity follows me everywhere
Your words so hollow won't go anywhere
Distant shadows disappears
It searches the gate beyond the stars

And there I can see her again

Tell me why you have to be so pure and wrong
And I'm alive to be here

Is it just an omen
Is it me walking blindly
I will find the answer
When I wake up from my dream

And there I can kill her again

9. Captured State

So many years I've been fading
And closed the doors behind
Pay that price if you lost it all
The end is not the past recall

Waiting for the enclosening darkness
And there you will be the light
As it's carved in your soul
Step out from your mould

The captured mind is a captured state
But only free will has it's sustain
You burn away all you once loved
Now it's time to turn away

It's all too clear you've been hiding
Nothing to tell but lies
Feel shame when you distain it all
Your stand is not the past recall

10. Grieve Stricken Heart

Your helping hand is killing me
If you see me suffer it's not your victory
Sadistic forms of new way discipline
Like I love myself I love to sin

And I want more
And I want it low
Of course you wont forgive me
But I wont crawl

Look out for number one
I pray on you it has begun
Let the night stand one thousand years
Longstanding ,everlasting
Breathless masquerade
I'm your devil in disguise

Grieve stricken heart
Calls upon you
Grieve stricken heart
My only look you fools
I love my misery too

I'm the one to see your collapse
I'm on the side of destruction
On the side of black and I love to sin
Mentally transmitted disease
Rotten wretched attraction
And I love myself

1. Day Of Your Beliefs

I can hear your yearnings
your anguished cries
let the nourishment pass you by
as it leaves you without
without a trace
it leaves you without the scars

it's a day of the ruins
the time of your relief
it's a day of the judgements
the day of your beliefs

bitter is the end
the end of your cry
let your nourishment pass you by
it'll leave you without
without your faith
it'll leave you without your grace

it's a day of the ruins
the time of your relief
it's a day of the judgements
the day of your beliefs

2. Planetary Misfortune

I hear you
hear your worthless speech
unheard and sensational
feeding my comprehension
let me see beyond all additional

show me something real
something low and dramatical
when all this sinful glittery
is still too much to see

taste the death from my hand
cleanse your senses
take the death from my hands
please your senses

I fear you
planetary misfortune
who will pray for my hallucinations
I'm not attuned
when you fold your hands
it's a wave of the salvation

and their slaves are their kings
futility of this creation
stand before the illusionist
the man of misapprehension

taste the death from my hand
cleanse your senses
take the death from my hands
please your senses

3. Evil Inside

Kiss the devil's mark
like a self-denial without temptation
she suffers from shame
prodigious perversions
it's her final dimension

feel affection for her longings
lamentation for no reason why
deep mistrust over matter
seduce it's will to melt away

she's plagued with pain
making me insane
passionate repulsion
kiss the evil inside
that you cannot deny
smiling at your sufferings

feel affection for her longings
lamentation for no reason why
deep mistrust over matter
seduce its will to melt away

4. Mourning Soil

Feel the ground
the mourning soil
close your eyes and lay

confront the passage of time
eternity which you cannot betray

barter away this haziness
down to earth this sparkling distress
thereafter you calling me hallowed

barter away this haziness
down to earth this sparkling distress
thereafter you calling me hallowed

sadness eclipsed
passing your heart
calling out the shadows from the dark

you still believe
that your life was empty
and now all that has gone

barter away this haziness
down to earth this sparkling distress
thereafter you calling me hallowed

barter away this haziness
down to earth this sparkling distress
thereafter you calling me hallowed

down to earth this sparkling distress
down to earth this sparkling distress

5. Far From The Sun

Nothing is more than too much
I'm waiting for the tarnishing touch
you wish for the last kiss goodbye
like the child that cannot lie

I walk
away now from you
and your sun
it goes down from you
as I walk
away now from you
and from
from your sun

holding the wounds of the bleeding souls
you summon all the restless folk
to share the feast of anxiety
like the spawn that cannot breed

I walk
away now from you
and your sun
it goes down from you
as I walk
away now from you
and from
from your sun

6. Ethereal Solitude

Blackness falls on empty calmness
the night is full
I kissed the frozen sweetness
the mist around my grief

don't let the past wear you down
let go of the life that haunts you tonight
don't let the silence take the sound

alone and isolated
ethereal solitude
you can keep all your secrets
there's no one to hold on to

don't let the past wear you down
let go of the life that haunts you tonight
don't let the silence take the sound

don't let the past wear you down
let go of the life that haunts you tonight
don't let the silence take the sound

7. Killing Goodness

There's no existing misery
that just fades away
faint hearted mindless tracks
through the wicked world
the world of today

and all the people
wait too long
makes them hate too much
foolishness fills this empty space
misgiving all the fortune
misgiving all the luck

stay clear of the killing goodness
the greed of the dying gods
can't you feel the raging darkness
the eyes stare at your heart

I see you dancing with the doomed
backwards to the womb
the spiral of life comes to the end
darkness will descend
it will descend

and all the people
wait too long
makes them hate too much
foolishness fills this empty space
misgiving all the fortune
misgiving all the luck

and all the people
wait too long
makes them hate too much
foolishness fills this empty space
misgiving all the fortune
misgiving all the luck

8. God Of Deception

The god of deception
a man with your face
see him still wondering
searching for your grave

needles called luster
it's only a one night stand
and you are six feet under
dead by your own hand

as you lost your destination
something drilled holes in your soul
it's time to meet your maker
raise the relief on your temple

as you lost your destination
something drilled holes in your soul
it's time to meet your maker
raise the relief on your temple

make them blame themselves
regret the deceased
until the truth kills it's novelty
attrition of their beliefs

as you lost your destination
something drilled holes in your soul
it's time to meet your maker
raise the relief on your temple

it's the pain that calls the tune
those heartbreaking moments
mislaid it all
all the happiness
you can die at your leisure
make them blame themselves
regret the deceased
until the truth kills its novelty
attrition of their beliefs

9. Higher Ground

I climb to the higher ground
to see what's behind the sun
step on the hands made out of clay
the hands of stained mortals

all there is and all you'll have
bless the one who cannot cry
there is no night
there is no sunlight
until you refuse to die

I'd let you sleep now
but I don't know how
I'd let you grieve now
but I don't know how

I chant the songs of madness
to be the chosen one
still all these bleeding wounds
cannot be cured by sadness

all there is and all you'll have
bless the one who cannot cry
there is no night
there is no sunlight
until you refuse to die

I'd let you sleep now
but I don't know how
I'd let you grieve now
but I don't know how

10. Smithereens

I let you take
this breeding sorrow
you're too close to see
as the pride inside of you
is smashed to smithereens

this fire hunts the soulless and the weak
bursting out the madness in me
and through all the that fear I have to keep
I still pretend to be real

you can't resist
all those fools beside you
spread your arms and share
this hatred with me
as it smashes your soul to smithereens

this fire hunts the soulless and the weak
bursting out the madness in me
and through all the that fear I have to keep
I still pretend to be real

1. Two Moons

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 off 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

They've taken off in the rivers of heaven
They've taken off

2. House Of Sleep

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

3. Leaves Scar

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

4. Born From Fire

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 till the day
When flames did all the work

On the day I was born
They denied my rights
Even the right to die

5. Under A Soil And Black Stone

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

Soil upon me
So fragile
As a veil
Without secrets
The staring
Space so wide

6. Perkele (The God Of Fire)

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

7. The Smoke

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
Im my dream smoke came to me
And we became as one

I am smoke

8. Same Flesh

That's what my sister says
And during that day
Came spring and summer
Oh, when did you fly here?
It was you 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

9. Brother Moon

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 sister to the woods

Here is another soul
Another path
Another God

10. Empty Opening

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
How did I get here

Beautiful yard, trees against the sky
There is an empty opening
They only live for one summer
This world is too good for me

1. Weaving The Incantation

A mind dejected, blood boiling with anger
the storm of the warpath, now sings in my heart
your pleading, 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
(I'm ready to ascend)
my will burning high
summon strength from the night

I equip myself, to warfare I prepare
I put on my black cloak, enchanted adders skins
your prayers shall not reach into my heart
your despair shall not stop me now

This precious hairbrush, thrown at the wall
it came to me from my father
I give you this as a token of myself
for you to have and mourn over

And when my blood flows from it's bristles
when my sap is dripping from it's shaft
then you will know of my anguish
my destruction will be revealed

2. A Servant

What was denied from poor
I thought to be riches
I run for them there and then
it made me take my due
to death I'd plunge with joy
my happiness to claim
I am prepared to face the war
under the black soil

I'm righteous if so desire
until I reveal my worth
and take to myself
what was denied from me
I stalked them in their celebrations
I delved into their words
I aimed at the highest of the high
and decided it's mine to take

Wont to crawl I was
to cringe and fawn
a servant on hours of day
but a holder of nocturnal sway

What was denied from poor
I thought to be love
I run for it here and now
it makes me take my due

3. Silent Waters

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 strenght 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
A magic rake for dragging, a river for my son
God of fire bring your light
Forger of sun help me now
Guardian of the shore will sleep in your warmth
Lull the folk of cold water
Banish the serpents of the dark
To the river let me go and fetch my son away
A rake made of iron from the Gods of skies
The spirit of bright days sent me the sun
Cold troops of Tuoni can not stand in my way
Untouched I shall walk by the river of the night
My child
My son

4. Towards And Against

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-shoed wanderer I am taught
my visions from fiery eyed iron-armed chanter
I know how to fight, I know how to sing
I know how to bend, I know how to break

I've not grown weary on lengthy roads
on strange lands not gone astray
such is the knowledge cast in me
such is the knowledge, such are the skills

I know how to fight
I know how to sing
I know the way

If ruin is said to befall me
it has not come to pass
I've conquered all who stood on my way
and drowned the snakes of death

Because of treason I now shall leave
because of my blood burning my soul
and now I raise this flaming sword
towards darkness, against everyone

5. I Of Crimson Blood

I am of crimson blood
nought shall hold me
mirror mine the dark of night
reflects me in water

Ablaze are my eyes
my soul consumed by woe
my braids weaved by the wind
an image black in my mind

Leave I must now with haste
me who tires of quiet life
me who's path leads to war
me who fears no death

I yearn for more
I yearn to rise
I yearn for everything
I yearn for you
I yearn to rise

6. Her Alone

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 I will obey
her alone I will always want to serve
only her I will defy

Only one can me wage all my wars
only one and the shadow of that one
only one can make do all my deeds
only one and the shadow of that one

My understanding under her advice
birth of my knowing under her advice
my desires I fulfill by revolting

7. Enigma

On his trail the stones they grew
he was led astray
forces strange he had to face
magic unseen
when he asked he was not answered
but he would not yield
what he asked for was not given
a shape to his dream

To a whirling mass of waters
the mountains of high
his desire he spoke out
to claim his due
a shadow moved in Louhi's mirror
the fairest maid of them all
restless mind found her to his liking
but the queen wanted more

Louhi spoke in riddled tones of three things to achieve
find and catch the devil's moose and bring it here to me
seek the stallion born of fire, harness the flaming horse
he captured and bound the moose, he tamed the golden horse

Still remained the one final test
hunt the bird from the stream of death

8. Shaman

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
sorrow fled her face

From the shaman into shaman

From the chimney a witch flew out
shaman dived across the sky
under her the woods and lakes
till she saw the Northland gates

I have come for my son, where is my son?
I accept no lies, no falsehods or deception
I'll send you plagues unnumbered
destruction upon your house
I lay to waste your treasures
and slay your fairest daughter

The queen of north told of the way
the road to River Black
impossible and incomplete
the path of no return

9. The White Swan

I set out on a longest road
to seek the answers from Death
I set out to the black sacred stream
to seek out and shoot a white swan

On desolate and stony paths
from a mountain to a vale
I reached the shore and saw it come
into my view, the swan

I took the arrow and raised my bow
I aimed below the graceful neck
under the white of its breast
inside the red of its heart

The surface of the river calm and black
reflects the sky, the pale moon
and there a glimpse caught of myself
I'm shattered, the vision is ruined

An arrow from the water
a serpent rips my mind
into the black river of Death
with a slash across my heart

My last sight a white swan
behind the swan a starless sky
under the sky a coal black river
reflected a bone white moon

10. Black River

Still searching for my way, the right way to be
still pondering what I've done
I'm still thinking what I've said, still finding from within
and all that I know is still not enough

I'm being held by the one
shadow tormenting my soul
the curving neck of a swan
the slow turning of a birds head

So white its plumes and feathers
itse breast like the moon in water
silent and tranquil it moves
on the river in the calm

I wander back on familiar roads
I sense the marks I left on the hills
I see the cuts and wounds of my deeds
they make me muse on life

Up the hill and the mountain
I look back, I look down
there flows the River of Death
and here the wind in my hair

1. Karelia
"Карелия"

Крик тысяч воинов,
Поля тысяч сражений,
В наших сердцах мы все еще слышим
Великий гимн Карелии.

2. The Gathering
"Сбор"

Так я ощущаю их сталь,
Так я вижу могущество,
Так все мы собираемся еще раз,
Боги войны вызывают нас... вызывают нас.

Северный ветер дует на нашу долину,
Люди с кораблями, с мечами, с честью.

Их лошади между огнями,
Их собаки пожирают детей врагов,
Наш небесный отец, что является этой смертностью,
Ты видишь мою смертельную агонию?

Смотри, я вижу щит поднят высоко.
Это должно быть знак от моего господина,
Это может быть моя смерть – предложение,
Такой прекрасный день для смерти.

Вкус крови подойдет,
Ветер дует сильно, наши люди падают...
Один за другим.
Эта присяга обязывает меня,
Я должен истекать кровью ради моего поколения.

Силен враг,
Крепок мой меч,
Молот вздымается,
Я чувствую их холодную сталь.

Теперь, когда я оставляю этот мир,
Я открою могучие дубовые врата
И все мы соберемся еще раз.

3. Grails Mysteries
"Тайны Грааля"

У меня будет сын,
Он придет из Корнуолла,
Он будет как дикий боров,
Ощетинившийся сталью...
Он будет человек, самый храбрый
И благородный в помыслах.

Ты преклонишь колени пред ним,
Ибо каждый человек скромен пред нашим господином.
Я стоял на песке моря,
И великий ветер велел мне продолжать,
Однажды он узнает тайну Святого Грааля

И была коронация,
И был он, подтвержденный присягой к его вождям и общине,
Чтобы быть истинным королем

4. Warriors Trial
"Испытание воинов"

Солнце садится,
и выпуклость врывается берег,
Великие воины судьбы и ветра
Едут в выси.
Тиха тишина,
Лишь дыхание лошадей слышно,
Холодная северная сталь, светлое лезвие доставляет нам радость,
И все мы живем под черной знаком.

О, господин, веди нас в рай,
Мой господин, это ли обещанная земля,
Это ли твой подарок

Позволь нам влететь в твой сон,
Позволь нам почувствовать вкус крови.

Горе – неизвестная сила.
Ненависть – уважай своих врагов.
Горечь – будет навсегда.
Тишина – ничто не осталось.

Позволь нам влететь в твой сон,
Позволь нам почувствовать вкус крови.

5. Black Embrace
"Черный ужас"

Ужас, когда темнота связывает ваши члены,
Ужас, когда страх замораживает ваши нервы,
Ужас, когда боль поднимается вверх по вашим венам,
Темнота, ползающая под кожей.

Момент жизни,
Когда все мы должны выбрать,
Куда идти и для кого пожертвовать своей жизнью.

Призывают бога – молятся,
Вести назад к жизни – молитесь,
Проклятый религией – ненависть,
Учения церкви – фальш.

На краю ада,
Человеческий разум – это выкуп вашей души,
И связывает мрак.

Момент жизни,
Когда все мы должны выбрать,
Куда идти и для кого пожертвовать своей жизнью.

6. Exile Of The Sons Of Uisliu
"Изгнание сыновей Уислиу"

Волна звуков голоса Ноисиу,
Его пение было сладчайшим...
Могила Ноисиу теперь готова,
и аккомпонемент был жалобен.

Для него, героя героев, я налил смертельный напиток,
Который убил его.

Боже, его короткие светлые волосы,
Красивый человек, даже очень красивый,
Боже, серые глаза, что так любят женщины,
Жестокими они были, как у врага.

7. The Lost Name Of God
"Потерянное имя Бога"

Мы должны знать, мы должны видеть
Так много религий, которая из них столь реальна,
Что это заставит нас верить?
Сокрушаем цепи веры, чтобы найти путь бессмертия.
Мы скрываемся позади креста, чтобы найти защиту,
мы ищем имя Бога.

В этом лабиринте ненависти,
Имя Бога потеряно.

Под флагом спасения,
Мы очистили эту землю от язычников.
Под знаком Христианства
Мы запятнали наши руки в крови.
В эти времена мучений имя Бога потеряно.

"Я видел прибытие конца,
Солнце прекратило сиять,
Воздух больше не свеж,
Тогда слишком поздно понять,
Что мы не можем дышать нашей ненавистью."

Потерянное имя Бога.

8. The Pilgrimage
"Паломничество"

В его глазах
Подымается злой дух.
Он поворачивается к тьме с именем сатаны.

"Придет время,
Мертвые встанут из могил,
И когда приблизится это время,
О, я вижу принца славы."

Святые уста,
Святые гончие
Под холмом,
Слышишь ли ты их зов?

9. Misery Path
"Дорога страдания"

Мы бороздим море,
В наших помыслах мы плывем выше гор.
Все это тщеславие, что мы могли скрывать правду,

Правда – быть живым
И жить в страхе перед ненавистью
И создать своих богов.

Все мы созданы собственными же идолами,
Мы сами созданы своими богами.

В туманное утро, когда солнце встает,
Когда целое небо кроваво-красное,
Человек понимает реальное значение жизни,
Любить и уважать вашу жизнь.

Ваше спасение, или – только ваше проклятие.

Все мы сами...

10. Sign From The North Side
"Знак с Севера"

Истинная Кельтская сила
От мыса Корнуолла
Крика надежды, плача ангелов,
Это было предзнаменование, наш знак, предсказание.

Далекие ворота, готическая могила
Через века наш клан все еще остается

На этой гордой земле я стал сильным,
Мои слезы текут повсюду,
Ветра носят мое горе.
Я все еще верю в правду и ненависть.

На всем протяжении моей жизни я нес наше кольцо,
Предзнаменование
Все это было лишь фрагментом моей жизни.

На этой гордой земле я был рожден один,
Был обучен бороться, побеждать.
Мне был показан путь стали и тайны,
Что я – непогребенный ребенок, ребенок без имени,
Без судьбы,
Я борюсь за мир и любовь,
Я возрожден.

2. Into Hiding
"Побег"

Островитянин стремится скрыться
сбежать из темной северной страны
Из мрачног дома Сары.
Он покружил из дверей как снег,
кружащий как дым по двору,
чтобы сбежать от плохого

Там он должен стать кем-нибудь еще,
он должен изменить свою форму.
Как орел он взмыл
желая подняться к небу.
Солнце жгло его щеки,
Луна зажигала его брови.

3. The Castaway
"Потерпевший кораблекрушение"

Птица летела из Лапландии
Орел с Северо-Востока

Одно крыло взъерошивало воду
и другое мело по небу.
А хвост скользил по морю

Он порхает, он скользит,
он смотрит и поворачивается.

"Почему, человек – ты среди моря,
Зачем ты, парень, среди волн?"

4. First Doom
"Первая Судьба"

Горы севера извергнутся,
и пламя темной земли вознесет
Приветствие тому, кто приветствует
И кровь для того, проливает кровь.

O Вы, госпожа северной земли,
Королева темной земли,
Я могу вымыть мою руку
Кровью повелителя зла

Ведь моя судьба –
не судьба человека.
Это судьба ребенка,
и это будет Первая Судьба

5. Black Winter Day
"Черный зимний день"

Так чувствует счастливый,
так блаженный думает,
подобно рассвету весной,
как солнце весенним утром

Но чувствую я
в моих мрачных глубинах?

Подобно плоскому краю облака,
подобно темной осенней ночи,
черный зимний день,
нет, еще темнее,
мрачнее чем осенняя ночь.

6. Drowned Maid
"Утонувшая девушка"

Я шел купаться на берег,
Я шел купать в море
и там Я, курица, пропал

Я, птица безвременно умершая
Не позволяйте моему брату
когда-либо в мире
Купать его военную-лошадь
на морском берегу!

Вода моря –
так много моей крови.
Рыбы моря –
так много моей плоти.

Такая смерть молодой девушки,
конец честной небольшой курицы.

7. In The Beginning
"Вначале"

Хорошая мысль
пришла мне в голову –
начать петь,
начать рассказывать

Мы редко собираемся
и встречаем друг друга
на этих бедных границах
несчастливых земель севера.

Эти слова мы получили
из самых дальних краев Севера,
с просторов Калевалы

8. Forgotten Sunrise
"Забытый восход солнца"

Когда-то у меня был ум
и былия мысли

Но теперь, в это злое время
все мои чувства – где-то далеко

Когда-то у меня была душа
Я был один со своим богом

Но теперь я покинут
изгнан из этой лжи

Долго мой рассказ был на холоде
целую вечность лежал скрытый

Я знаю как околдовывать пламя
и как прославить огонь,
Я знаю как прогнать червей
и изгнать змей прочь

9. To Fathers Cabin
"В отцовскую хижину"

O Старый человек, хороший бог,
заботливый человек неба,
хранитель грозовых туч.
Сделай туманную погоду,
создай небольшое облако,
под чью защиту я смогу войти.

10. Magic And Mayhem
"Магия м бездна"

Эй ты, девка,
мой вечный крепостной,
помести рагу в горшок,
принеси воду для гостя.

Прежде, чем мы расстанемся,
прежде, чем твою шею сломают,
Ты поразила первой
сына севера.

1. Better Unborn
"Лучше не рождаться"

Тем лучше было б для меня,
Тем лучше было бы вообще,
Если б не родился я, не вырос,
Не принесён был бы в этот мир,
Не ступил бы на эту землю,
Не был бы вскормлен для неё.

О, если б умер я на третью ночь,
Пропал в пеленающих руках,
Мне нужно было бы совсем немного:
Всего лишь пара досок,
Два локтя земли,
Два слова от священника,
Три псалма от певчего
Да от колокола один удар.

2. Against Widows
"Против вдов"

Дьявол обвенчан со вдовой –
Смерть откладывается.
Лучше лечь на ивы,
Опереться на ветви ольхи,
А потом на вдовью постель,
На смятую вдовью подушку.
Слаще кладбищенская ограда,
Чем вдовья доля.
Мягче на краю рощи,
Чем со вдовой.

Дьявол обвенчан со вдовой –
Одна могила – две свадьбы.
Вдовья рука грубее,
Чем сухой еловый сук,
Которым она играючи нанесла удар,
Схватила того, кто смеялся.
Вдова сыграла свою игру
И провела счастливый вечер.

3. The Orphan
"Сирота"

Птенец дух пал,
Плавая в воде холодной,
Но сирота куда печальней,
Когда по деревенской улице бредёт.

Холоден живот воробья,
Сидящего на обледенелом суку,
Но мой живот ещё холодней,
Пока я бреду с поляны на поляну.

Холодно сердце голубя,
Клюющего деревенский стог,
Но я холодней,
Ибо пью ледяную воду.

4. On Rich And Poor
"На богатых и бедных"

Предки помнят,
А потомки учатся
Тому, что было до них,
Когда жизнь была другой.

Без солнца люди жили,
На ощупь брели под луной,
Со свечами сеяли,
Сажали при свете факелов.

В наше время
Без солнечного света,
Кто закрыл наше солнце?
И кто спрятал нашу луну?

Без лунного света спотыкаемся,
Своими кулаками ощупываем землю,
Своими руками мы ищем путь,
Руками – дорогу, пальцами – топь.
Не можем жить без солнца
И без света луны.

5. My Kantele
"Моё кантеле"

Они искренне лгут, они несут сущий вздор –
Те, кто говоря о музыке, причисляют к ней кантеле,
Созданное богом
Из плечей огромной щуки,
Из костей морской собаки:
Оно сделано из горя
(Сложено из печали).

Его стенки из трудных дней,
Его короб из бесконечного горя,
Его струны собраны из мучений,
Его колки из прочих несчастий.

Так оно не заиграет, не порадует всех,
Музыка не зазвучит в усладу,
Одарённое правом особой радости,
Поскольку было сделано из забот
(Сложено из печали).

6. Cares
"Заботы"

Много камней на порогах,
На море много волн,
Но моих забот больше,
Больше, чем шишек на елях,
Бород мха на можжевельнике,
Шелухи на стеблях травы.

Утяни мои заботы,
Унеси мои печали,
Уволоки без коня,
Без неподкованной клячи,
Без оглоблей стряхни
Заботы этой тощей клячи,
Печали этой чёрной птицы.

7. Song Of The Troubled One
"Песня попавшего в беду"

То, над чем трудится дрозд,
Куропатка просит.
Несчастный берёт –
Попавший в беде крадёт,
Обременяет лопатой,
Нападает на бегущего,
Прячется под дверью,
Защищаясь банным веником.

Крестьянский молот,
И закаляют его копья,
Женятся на его сыновьях и
Выдают замуж дочерей.
В обуви из глины,
В расписных рукавицах.

Грохочут моря волны,
И дуют ветра,
И король всё это слышит
За пять миль отсюда,
За шестью дорогами,
За семью лесами,
За восьмью пустошами.

8. Weeper On The Shore
"Плачущая на берегу"

В долине, где однажды во тьме, недосягаем для света
Я слушал щебетанье птиц
И ручья журчанье,
Там искало моё сердце выход из этой беды,
Я бросил взгляд на побережье
И увидел белокурую девчушку.
Она сидела и плакал на берегу,
Глядя на бьющиеся волны,
И воздух был наполнен печальным ожиданьем.

О, почему ты плачешь одна на берегу?
Я по-прежнему вижу, как твои слёзы текут.
Что за тоска и боль
Так пронзают твоё сердце,
Что даже в полночь не оставляют тебя?

9. Elegy
"Элегия"

Долгие вечера полны томленья,
А утро печально,
Ночи же полны тоской,
И всё время горечь –
То любовь моя, которую ищу,
Моя милая, по которой скучаю,
Моя чернобровая, по которой горюю.

Не слышу моё сокровище,
Не вижу жаркой груди,
Не слышу на улице её,
Проходящею под окном,
Рубящую дрова за стогом,
Звенящую на кухне посудой.

В земле лежит моя ягодка,
В грязи она разлагается,
Под песком моя сладкая,
Под травой моё сокровище,
Та, по которой я горюю.

1. The Way
"Путь"

Складывая будущее из древних камней,
Как далеко я зайду? Дай мне знать скорей.
Отвечая на вопросы, которые никто не задавал,
Проплыв через море безумия,
Увидел задачу, что всю жизнь решал.

Так одиноко скитаться,
Одиноко быть одному
В тумане неизвестности.
Пытаясь одурачить себя несбыточной мечтою,
Сколько продержаться я ещё смогу?
Больше никогда, больше никогда...
Проиграю ли я , проиграю ли я?

Скажешь ли ты, чтоб я не ждал?
Чтобы жил сегодняшним днём?
Пока цветы увядают
Я забуду боль.
С тех пор, как звёзды светят
Дьявол направлял путь мой.

2. Morning Star
"Утренняя звезда"

Живи только для себя
Или душа удостоится рая.
Будешь чахлым, как осенний лист
Или сильным, как растущее семя.

Поглощён чернотой,
Ищешь выход.

Следи за утренней звездой,
Зовущей к спасителю.
Но она так далека,
Уходит в вечность,
В воспоминаниях осталась только гниль.

3. Nightfall
"Наступление ночи"

Пока разложение убивает зерно, посеянное по весне,
Зародившаяся чума прокладывает свой путь.
Красно масло коров с багряным молоком,
И голод обрушивается на спины бедняков.

Кто услышит печальный плач
Под светлой неба синевой?
Тот плач льётся песней из убогих лачуг,
Из глаз , что устали плакать.
Но ужасом была тьма наступающей ночи
Для человека, которого заставала в дороге.
Когда луна смеётся над ничего незначащими жизнями,
Выполнить обещанное любому в два раза трудней.

Бледное лицо, невидящий взгляд,
Девять саженей вниз для него
Очередная дорога
На земле, что не вырастит семя.

4. Tuonela
"Царство мёртвых"

Печаль мне вместо хлеба,
Взамен вина – слеза,
В забвенье моё счастье
Скрежещет под зубами времени.

Камень достанется холоду,
Когда мороз истребит страну,
Утешением сыт не будешь...
Из ледяных рук зимы,
На твёрдый снежный наст
Я положу своё разбитое тело,
Которое ни сталь, ни железо не берёт.
Я вручаю его именем зимы.
Не хорошо душе угрюмой,
Нет прибыли у глупого вора,
Нет жениха для заплетающей косы невесты,
Её мужчина стар и хром.

Если б я только мог дышать,
Увидеть майское солнце,
Но ночи всё ещё длинней,
Пока я увядаю.

Придёт в короне человек,
Бить будет в барабан войны,
Скажет, что меч недостаточно силён
Без двух его славных ног.

Но не взгляну я
В глаза девы, с которой венчался,
Я пожну горький урожай Туонелы,
Богатство моей мёртвой невесты.

5. Greed
"Алчность"

Нет, я не жажду крови,
Чтоб утолить алчность свою,
Мой голод не удовлетворит
Назарянина твоего плоть.
И позолоченные улицы благосклонных небес
Не соблазнят меня твоей речью,
И не потворствует святая матерь
Твоим грабежам, жадности и войне.

Но знай, что все океаны заслуживают,
Чтоб их вода стала святой.
Не изменить поток, бегущий
По моим венам.
Моя кровь всегда стремилась к небу
И растекалась там, где твоё чёрное – белое.

Ты вырезаешь на моей душе
Мечом своей верховной правды.
Ударь меня, чтоб я с колен поднялся
Для твоего крещения, чтобы найти покой.

Моя кровь стремилась всегда к небу
И растекалась там, где твоё чёрное – белое.
Один я поднимаю свою голову
В лесу беззвёздной ночью.

6. Divinity
"Богословие"

Последний день приносит милость
Знающим запрещённые имена.
Шагни, согнувшись впятеро,
Как сын и отец в одном теле.

Однажды огонь уничтожит ночь,
Страхи и холодные слёзы шепчут
То, что никто не услышит.
Плачь сейчас же, плач снова ради меня...
Завтрашние гордость и боль...
Почему ты приклоняешься предо мной?

Уничтожая мою веру
И придавая форму моей помощи.
Кому ты шлёшь молитвы?
Во всяком случае я не слышу их.

7. Shining
"Сияние"

Душа кровоточит,
Я чувствую, что мал,
Боюсь этому не придёт конец.
Не могу объяснить боль в костях,
Я сплю в трансе очередном.

Взбираюсь на радугу, ты не поверишь –
Отсюда видно так далеко,
Но нужен кто-то, кто б мог меня снять,
Но кому тут можно доверять?

Мне надо много чего сказать,
Но пожалуй лучше промолчу.
Лучше убирайся – это время сиять, сиять, сиять.
Падшим ангелом я бегу,
Увижу ли я солнце вновь?
Смотри, теперь замкнулся круг,
Но ещё не собран урожай.

Где множатся рубцы, и паразиты плодятся,
Все мечты обрушиваются со страхом,
Разрушаемые мраком, хлынувшим вовнутрь.
Зверь внутри меня так дорог мне.

8. Withered
"Увядание"

Увяли теперь цветы,
В далёком прошлом они цвели.
Забытые на каменном ложе
Этой безмолвной могилы на склоне холма.
Покрывшись медью будут раздавлены
В этой мёрзлой лесной стране.
Грубая холодная рукавица,
Скрывающая костлявую руку,
Рвёт однажды согретую землю,
Царапает глаза, что уже плакать не могут.
Сострадание унесёт ветер,
Эту жалость к бедному внебрачному ребёнку.
Жизнь в ненависти и нищете –
Вот, шанс, поворот судьбы.
И яд бежит из кубка
В горло её пьяного мужчины.

9. Rusty Moon
"Ржавая луна"

Купаясь в ржавом свете луны,
Смерть поёт колыбельные.
Поёт так нежно со звёздами,
Отражёнными в её глазах.

Этот взгляд манит людей
В леса протоптанными дорожками,
Это пламенный взгляд, который
Не найдёшь в девичьих глазах.

Железо делает, как и говорит,
И пьёт красное золото жизни,
Но стыд не покинет с последним вздохом
Жизнь, желавшую своей собственной смерти.

И лес напевает свой тихий гимн,
Слышный в их одиночестве,
Пока туман простирается
Вдоль тёмного берега ручья,
Зачарованного еловым лесом.

10. Summer's End
"Конец лета"

В утренний туман с убывающей луной
Через леса она бежит,
Священным лезвием срезая ягоды,
Выкапывая жуткие корни мандрагор.

Иди за мной туда, где заканчивается лето,
Это наследие я оставлю тебе, – сказала она,
Ты увидишь, как то, что могло всегда быть зелёным
Обернулось медью и растворилось в сером.

И холодным камнем
Атропины взгляд смеётся надо мной,
(Она) сидит в ленивом головокружении.
Пески времени из другой мечты.
И без жертвы нет любви,
Без разложения жизни нет.
Последний поцелуй теплей других,
В холодную землю, ласкаясь, мы ляжем отдохнуть
