09/10 • RIVER OF TUONI • 2008
Wind is blowing through my wounded soul
Darkness shades me as I'm longing and yearning
Darkness surrounds me swollowing me into endless night
Watching the moonlight
Waiting for sunrise
- 2009 - The Clouds of Northland Thunder - 04 - Willow Of Tears
04/12 • THE CLOUDS OF NORTHLAND THUNDER • 2009
In the shades of
The verdant forest
Tender and mild winds
Are washing the leaves
Echoing whispers
- 2009 - The Clouds of Northland Thunder -10 - Lionheart
10/12 • THE CLOUDS OF NORTHLAND THUNDER • 2009
Fiercest hunter, Eye of Ra
lady of Slaughter, Lionheart.
Balm for her heart were destruction and death
deserts rose, from a lethal dose of her steaming breath!
She stalked the land with arrows of fire
- Abyss
I walk in peace, you don't
We've been circling our love, for so long,
Our time in silent, quiet moments.
Wanting to run away
We hide in the dust of storms
The world has turned upside down
- Arctica
In the genesis of the world
Just the arctic wind was blowing.
Something came into paradise,
The everlasting snow melted away.
Arctica!
You start to think
There is something greater than humankind.
- Birth Of The Harp
The ancient singer went
lamenting through the forest
heard the birch wailing
Now drawing nearer he asks the sacred birch tree
"Why art thou weeping?"
Giving wood a shape of a harp
- Blackbird
With hollow gaze
The bird looked deep into my eyes.
I saw sadness,
Followed the blackbird into the woods.
"I am the ghost of the child without a name
I sing out my tune - a song from my tomb."
- Cherish My Memory
Cherish My Memory
Feeling empty, tears in my eyes.
Twisted thoughts they try
To interfere with my will to keep going
The time has come for me
To be one timeless,
Ageless, innocent, calm

Day and night, no matter where you go
They hold the mirror
For you to swallow
Your pride and honour
And there they are staring at you everywhere
You go!
They are in your head, you are overpowered,
- City Of Corruption
Mother Earth gave the people
All they ever needed, wanted.
They got a paradise to live in
‒ Eden thrived and prospered.
Life was simple, nature valued,
Earth was giving, the people willing.
Nothing was missing from human
‒ generous was Mother Earth.
- Cold Kiss
Far away is the dawn from your eyes, only darkness.
...only darkness I see in your eyes.
Fearlessly I'm leaning on you in the shadows, in your
World.
And there you find me, my mind is open for your mind.
Meet the night!
Loving your lifeless soul is all too easy.
- Come Now Follow
He's lonely and waiting for his beloved one.
Time passes and no one's coming to shore.
Now yearning and longing he takes the offer.
The sea is seducing and promising more.
"Sleep now my love
Let the soft waves carry you.
Float in silently and fall asleep."
- Crimson Flower
Once upon a time in a distant land,
A merchant had three daughters.
They asked different gifts from their old father:
A golden crown, a crystal mirror and the last one,
A little scarlet flower.
The crimson flower is hard to find
A magical forest keeps it inside.
- Dance Of Life
Wind taking space signing by a screen
Would you dance, still leave my
Sense the feeling, let the spirits rise with me
Bow to the shore, designed to swing to the right
I follow, rust goes round and all the
Nerval spirits rise
(Chorus)
- Eagle Of Fire
03/12 • THE CLOUDS OF NORTHLAND THUNDER • 2009
Fire has left Väinölä's heart stones
Light has gone
Dark nights no light under the sky
Hard to find the fire-child
Eagle of fire with fiery feathers

There was a time
You were everyone's confidant
Your mind was full of the torment
To be the one
Their complaints tortured you
With every spoken word
That made you crawl
- Evil Inside Me
Evil Inside Me
Oh Father, now hear me! This sinner on her knees! X 2
When I turn my head towards your light I see this shadow
shading my eyes, fear I can't hide, evil's after my soul!
Dominating all my thoughts evil takes my soul.
Fear I cannot hide how dark pulls me away from your light!
- Face of the Maiden
Weeping maiden of the cold Northland
runs on through the fen and the forest
to the cold sea-shore.
She sat weeping on the dark seaside,
tears on the white sand made silver- pearls
they glow like moon.
- Fight
Your doubt is haunting, still you wait for the truth,
Can't see the victim's you.
You try to compromise, fate throws the dice,
Your soul is turning grey.
Fight!
Or run through your life
Face your enemies
- Guardian
Into the wilderness the child now wanders.
The guardian next to her safely guides her back home.
Far away is her home and she is frightened.
Dark is the forest path back to her own loving home.
See how the light spreads her wings and
Shields this child with light 'cause
Dark is the night
- He Sleeps In A Grove
Cold breeze blows in a misty grove
Making dying leaves fall on the forgotten one
Sleeping in a frost-covered ground
Waiting for someone to find his lonely grave
And so did winter come over the grove
With beautiful pure white snow
Covering all tracks of struggle and fight
- I Share With You This Dream
I'm watching the waves that pass by
Watching the clouds that make me
Dream that I'm falling
Into the ocean of the sky
Watching the autumn of my life
And now finally I see the truth.
Blue Sea
- Incubus
Preacher:
It's not a dream, and it's not your imagination.
I'm liying in my bedroom, restlees at night
And feeling someones's liying next to my side.
I hear a heavy breathing:
Someone's next to me and watching me!
- Kokko - Eagle Of Fire
Fire has left Väinölä's hearth stones
Light has gone
Dark nights no light under the sky
Hard to find the fire-child
Eagle of fire with fiery feathers
Made a spark
Ukko made the Kokko's spark
- Lily Of The Moon
An Indian girl, she watched the moon and lived in the stories
About the warrior of the moon who was a might god.
In the nights she tried to catch the light rays from the moon
In order to hold her warrior - god whom she just loved so much.
She saw a reflection of the moon in a lake.
Blinded by her love, she ran into the lake.
- Lost Soul
Leaving his dreams and family
Leaving the life behind
Searching his will and
Searching his hope
Searching the peace of mind
Off to the valley
Off to the shore
- Lullaby
Deep in the earth land of dead...
The dead are welkoming their king!
Deep in the earth lies a new-born baby boy...
Hush, o precious child, among the dead you rest in peace!
Hush, o infant king, the dead salute the son of darkness!
Hush, o precious child, among the dead you rest in peace!
- Magic Forest
Just moments before the dawn
It's their time to go
One look and
They entered the magic forest
They're left alone
A strange weight surrounded them
It felt like burned ice

Pictures that adorn the wall
Cryptic writings guide you through
Find the path and pay the price
Godspeed, my king
Through the mirror and through the wall
Let your mind seek a lot more
Find the path and pay the price

Passing Bells
Passing bells...
Call for me...
In my shroud...
I'm sentenced to death!
Passing bells...

Along the black death-land river
The mother runs and tries to find her son
Searching for her lost hero she wades the river deep
to her belt in mud
Oh! Heavy-hearted am I
Tuoni has taken my son!
- Saga
When one must overcome
And one must fight for light and some
Came across the power of the sea
Or the blowing of the North-wing.
Then were the times ahead
For men in victory or death
Still bravery of them is told in Saga!
- Sampo
The old and evil with of the lightless Northland
She asked the skillful blacksmith
To forge the wondrous Sampo, the lid in many colors,
The mighty mill to make good fortune to its holder.
The master of the forge and smithy,
Forges for her the lid in colors,
Mixes together certain metals
- Shallow Waters
In the middle of the forest wild
He's kneeling in front of a pond so wide
Staring into dark and silent waters
He joins the stream taking the hand of other
See how your brothers lay in waters
If you just let them hide their tears
- Snowmaiden
09/12 • THE CLOUDS OF NORTHLAND THUNDER • 2009
Made of snow is her heart and her soul,
living only from winter ice and the breeze, so cold.
Daughter of Spring and Frost,
no warmth in her heart.
Daughter of Spring and Frost

At the end of June
From dawn to dusk, in vain
The five brothers are waiting for the rain
Calling for the raindrops
Singing songs without words
Hoping soothing sparkly raindrops'll
Reach their world
- Symphony Nr. 1, Part 1 - The Witchcraft
Midnight is quiet, nature listens
Far is the clamour of streets
Silence, the breath of wind
Perfect is the timing for the gathering
Living in the village
Light a heart, a young girl gambols in the field
Roaming, she finds an old rune
- Talisman
Look behind the closed doors,
Search in the empty drawers
What you're looking for you shall not ever find.
The secret is hidden from the greedy eyes,
Possessive hands and selfish minds of foolish and ignorant men.
Still it is followed - the fools for the power!
"Talisman behind many wars and its greedy eye wants more.
- The Court of Mirror Hall
Welcome
Please, do enter to my court
Look at all these paintings
All these crystals
Could you stay all your life?
Moving slowly to the golden door
A peaceful voice she heard:
- The Curse
Come wind, come icy storm, come thundercloud!
Rise ruthless tempest and make lightning strike!
Wake up You in the bowels of the earth
- tremor the snowy fjells with all my hurt!
Run, now run you fool!
Your fate is to be doomed

brave northern warriors to their last fight.

After God created man he called for the angels
To fly down on Earth and bow before his creation.
Driven by his pride this angel made his plans
Against God and all the angel's force,
Gathered his own army of the fallen angels
To strive for the highest seat of God!
God and his angel forces
- Wings Are My Eyes
Spent years in tears
Drowned myself in fears
Lived in a cage filling
My life with rage
Tied my wings so tightly
Gravity felt mighty
Needed to feel the wind
- Утренняя звезда
In the early sky
I see the light of the Morning star
shining bright, and
from the open ground
I hear the harmony of voices singing far away.
Follow the light,
it will lead your way to harmony!
