- Abandoned
Sing for your tears
a song of the hatred
No one can hear
'cause your life is forgotten
I want to give my life to you
but my will is tied with puppet strings
I am fighting and screaming alone
inside this empty room
- Ahti
At the time of sundown
Nature bathes in colours
In silence it waits
For the approaching force
In the halls of Ainola
The true king of dark waters
Lurks with his mistress
- Andromeda
Woe to the one
Who boast in front of the Gods
Woe to the God
Who is petty and jealous to mortals
Woe to the beast
Who blindly obeys
Woe to the king
- Axe Of Judgement
Patience is a virtue when you live for revenge
Hide your weapons, veil your hate, seek your foes unguarded and slay them!
Slay them!
Behead them!
Oh sweet revenge!
Behold, the axe of judgement falls!
This is war!
- Battle Song
Hear the sound of swords fulfill the night
Feel the winds of death on your skin
See the arrows fly, flaming in the sky
Hear the screams of men, as they die
CHORUS:
We won this battle with might and fearless hearts
We came and we fulfilled our prophecy
- Blood is the Price of Glory
Before the grimmest enemy
Cold rain whipping those proud faces
War cries raising their spirits
Despising death as they rush forward
Blood of the brothers drains to the ground
Stirring up rage
Giving them power
Trampling the enemy with their feet
- Burden of the Fallen
""Nightmares return again There's no way to make amends His heart and the battlefield Are alike silent and empty Nightmares return again There's no way to make amends His heart and the battlefield Are alike silent and empty Nightmares return again There's no way to make amends His heart and the battlefield Are alike silent and empty""
- Burning Leaves
Pass all the hills everlasting
Fight against the evil
There are big wolves
From the north wind the darkening horizon
We will fight
Let them come
We will never retreat!
We will say
- Celestial Bond
A long time ago I went to the shore
I whispered my wish to a breeze from the North
The wind took the wish high to the stars
Told them what I've missed with all my heart
I was mesmerized by the rolling tide
I lay on that shore and fazed into the skies
Like a shooting star, my dream was gone
- Cry For The Earth Bounds
The cry for the earth bounds
Who'll face the final sundown
On the last shore of this dying world
A man, a symbol, a sword
A vague memory of something that was
But the moment takes its grasp
- Deathbringer From The Sky
High above the ground
Beyond the thunderclouds
A black shade is flying alone
Once so feared among men
Now the legend is becoming too old
But finally the horrifying truth is about to unfold
Deathbringer from the sky
- Descendants, Defiance, Domination
The darkest hour, the hopeless time
Is always before the rise of the dawn
Find your courage to stand against a stream
The fairest they speak when the falsest they think
When mouths of men speak the words of gods
The truth will never be enough for anyone
When you reach the peak of the highest mountain
- Elusive Reaches
Protector of the sun arrives with light
From the edge of the world to the highest heights.
With a thunder blast he greets his twin,
And falls back to oblivion.
From the western plains where nature blooms.
Roams the swift brother in eternal blue.
Chasing the vanishing golden light.
- Eternal Wait
Over the Forgotten sea
Voice of angel is calling for me
Somewhere, where the mountains collide
That's where I'll find my new life
I have carried this burden so long for you
that nothing but sorrow I feel
I have let myself believe
- Finnish Medley
Jo Karjalan kunnailla lehtii puu,
jo Karjalan koivikot tuuhettuu.
Käki kukkuu siellä ja kevät on,
vie sinne mun kaihoni pohjaton.
Ma tunnen vaaras' ja vuoristovyös'
ja kaskies' sauhut ja uinuvat yös'
ja synkkäin metsies' aarniopuut
- For Sirens
War rages inside me
Deny the sweet lie from me
I want to see, I want to feel
I don't care if it's not real
I have to go, unchain me
Because the flesh is weak
- For Those About to Fight for Metal
""Outnumbered but never alone we stand Brave warriors axes in our hands The symbol of enlightenment The secret of steel Carved in the hearts of the free Forged in eternal fire Harden in the frozen rain There is something stronger than mortal flesh That unites us as one For those about to fight for metal; Gods of war salute you all For those who'll never lower their blade; We're blood brothers till the end The sound of archaic battle horns Releases the beast within us all Join us to fight for the metal dawn Or one by one you will fall Let me hear your battlecry! Raise your swords up high! For those about to fight for metal; Gods of war salute you all For those who'll never lower their blade; We're blood brothers till the end For those about to fight for metal; Gods of war salute you all For those who'll never lower their blade; We're blood brothers till the end Blood brothers till the end.""
- From Afar
A raven came to me,
Spoke to me in my dream.
A long lost prophecy,
A forgotten legacy.
Echoes of yesterday,
Won't let these dreams fade away.
All the beauty I adored,
- Frost
Howling winds of the North
The cold predator of the fells
Mighty woods of the North
Under cover of darkness
Desolate and dying lands
Barren ground, covered with snow
There forever I am,
- God Is Dead
""Bring out your dead I shout again Will it ever end? Rotting corpses everywhere But I know how to transcend Round and round the bottle goes Drown drown all hope and sorrow Mad men on the streets Keep herding their sheep High or low we're all gonna go Down at least for six feet Round and round the bottle goes Drown drown all hope and sorrow Round and round the bottle goes Drown drown all hope and sorrow Like thunder in a pint Divine truth I will find Lifelong misery It is not our destiny Joy to the world god is dead So let's drink until the bitter end Joy to the world god is dead So let's drink until the bitter end They whip you with their made-up sins They beat you until you finally give in But know that there is another path Filled with joy and not the grandeur of misery Wake up and see Drink with me In our wanton harmony Round and round the bottle goes Drown drown all hope and sorrow Round and round the bottle goes Drown drown all hope and sorrow Like thunder in a pint Divine truth I will find Lifelong misery It is not our destiny Joy to the world god is dead So let's drink until the bitter end Joy to the world god is dead So let's drink until the bitter end Joy to the world god is dead So let's drink until the bitter end Joy to the world god is dead So let's drink until the bitter... Bitter end God is dead Joy to the world god is dead""
- Guardians Of Fate
Race with the wind
The night is ending
They will win
when the sun is rising
Stories have been told for years about the rebel man
riding in the lands of unknown
No one has ever seen their furious beings
and their secret remains untold
- Hail to the Victor
""Scarless man mangled soul Of a solitary Some fights that are fought in the mind Are not imaginary Blazing eyes although the road Has been long All chains ignorance and hate… No more Time is the dividend on ephemeral paths Longing of the fulfillment is carved in wolven hearts Time is the dividend on ephemeral paths Longing of the fulfillment is carved in wolven hearts These times These lives In the hands of beasts of lies Man made gods Turning tides Unknown future no hope in sight Foul beings The ultimate sin Like fools they charge to kill their kin The legend tells In the hearts of men Is the way the power To rise above this hell Hail to the victor! Once a castaway Hail to the victor! But never astray Hail to the victor! In the mirror we'll see the face Hail to the victor! Of the only god whom should be praised Time is the dividend on ephemeral paths Longing of the fulfillment is carved in wolven hearts Time is the dividend on ephemeral paths All those in the end will merge in to one""
- Heathen Horde
Too many times has moon travelled across the sky,
Since our fathers sailed out for glory and honour,
It's time to fulfil the vow once given,
Forge your plows to swords, send the word,
Raise an army countless as stars in the sky.
All heathen hearts,
Answer the call,
- Hero In A Dream
A witch read from the palm of his hand
that his life would turn into darkness
and alone he would face all demons
from his past that he tries to forget
An elder king warned of the dangers
that lie in the valleys of north and
his only change was to find his shadow
so he had to set forth
- I Will Never Kneel
""Winds are calling me The cold breeze of death From the dividing stream The clarity of what lies ahead Your fortune will never change Is what blind weaklings say But I will not rest before the day Every peasant is crowned as his own king I will never kneel Before your false beliefs By my heathen blood I will not give up Minä rinnassa kannan sydänyön mustaa kipinää Minä anteeksi annan ja unohdan en ikinä Tätä kaunaa vainoa kuollutta painoa en ik inä Minö anteeksi anna ja unohda En ik inä In my chest shines a glimmer as dark as the heart of the night I will never forgive nor forget Ths grudge haunting dead weight I will never forgive and forget... never My love where have you gone? So cold what have they done? I can't see you the world drowns in tears I will forgive you become the righteous hate and never forget All is lost now what once was a dream Will never be seen Spill their blood revenge for both of us And for all that will never be...""
- In My Sword I Trust
Many men have crossed my way
Promising peace or my soul to save
But I already heard you
I have seen what they made with their freedom
But I, I have no need for your god
The shallow truth of your poisonous tongue
Brothers it’s time to make a stand
To reclaim our lives
- Into Battle
We left our homes behind, now we're following the wolves' trail
Through the deepest forests, beneath the stars we ride
I can see the moon glowing red like the blood of warriors
There's a prophecy, that tonight many men will die
The fire will burn forever in our passionate hearts
Our destinies are calling us now
We are ready to take their lives
- Into Hiding
[Amorphis cover]
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
- Iron
The silence breaks the ground
A shadow is riding the horizon
An arcane man arrives to town
Remoresless and condemned
Tasted the snake's poison
Broken every bone
Felt a thousand gunshot wounds
But there's nothing that whiskey can't cure
- King of Storms
""Who dares to stare death in the eye? And face the malestrom of doom like a hero? When light splits the sky And like a thousand giants thunder roars King of storms Descends from the skies Before my eyes Destroyer of worlds King of storms I will rule with fear and pain Your world will burn in dragon flame I will rule with fear and pain Your world will burn in dragon flame You will Obey Your kin Will yield when I say Your dreams Your fears Your dying screams Belong to me You will (You will) Obey (Obey) Your kin Will yield when I say Your dreams (Your dreams) Your fears (Your fears) Your dying screams Belong to me Descry the beast of the nightmare realm Destruction of all humanity abhorred Ravaged land where the afflicted dwell The frozen void entombs idle prayers and exhorts King of storms Descends from the skies Before my eyes Destroyer of worlds King of storms King of storms""
- Knighthood
I walk through the calm forest in the time of knights
and only the dark memories are left from these times
There's pieces of armor on skeletons
of men lying on the ground
They were killed by the stab of the sword
Before me lays thousands of dead knights
Beneath of my feet lays skeletons
- Lai Lai Hei
Hän katsoi maan reunalta tähteä putoavaa
Nyt kauniit kasvot neitosen peittää karu maa
Jokaisen täytyy katsoa silmiin totuuden
Sillä aika ompi voittoisa, mut' tämä maa on ikuinen
There's a place in the North, far far away
Home for the wandering man
Dreaming fields with skies so pale
- Last Breath
Lying on the ground
As battle rages on
Warm blood covers
The cold land of our fathers
Don't cry for me my son
Because I'm not the only one
Where I go you can't follow
- Little Dreamer
Once there was a boy back in time of the heathens
Day after day he just kept dreaming things that would make him weaker
His father could not make him see, that there is more than dreams
But he wouldn't listen to the words of his father, 'cause he's a little dreamer
Along his quest for solitude
A wise man came and told him to follow the stars
- Lost In Despair
I was lost, on my own
and I couldn't bear the thought of my life
I was gone, caught in the torturing memories
And they burned like fire
water can never heal such pain
Can't you believe
Nothing is real
- Midsummer Magic
Once again
It's that time of the year
When we gather to feast
And praise the thunder God
With the humble offering
Behold, how sun is still in the sky
Tonight, no one sleeps
- Naita Polkuja Tallaan.
[intro]
mä näita polkuja tallaan kai
viimeiseen asti
jos sä rakkaani seisot mun vierelläin
näilta poluilta löytyy se viimeinen rasti
jonne yhdessä kuljemme ystäväin.
[1st Verse:]
- Neito Pohjolan
Nähnyt oon sen, yllä aaltojen kaukaisten
Kuinka loistaa kuu ja tähdet taivaiden
Kai kulkuri matkoillaan voi joskus unhoittaa
Kuinka kotimaa oottaa kaukaa plaavaa...
Kaihon siivin saan
Lentää halki kaukomaan
- One Man Army
This lifeless soil
Barren of good thoughts
Scorched by grudge and grief
Doomed to linger on
Wandered aimlessly
Blinded by their lies
Now I raise my head and sword
When shadows steal the light
- One More Magic Potion
Once when we were returning from a battle and
We got lost in a gloomy forest
in the middle of the woods
we saw an old house
with tired minds we knocked
the door very loudly
Old woman opened the wooden door
She asked us to come in
- One with the Sea
It's been so long
I've lost count
The days grow colder
The waves have frozen
I can't turn back time and change fate
I guess it was never in our hands anyway
- Passion Proof Power
Where to find the truth?
Questions linger through time
Unbreakable will and inquiring mind
Have always been the seeker's guide
The Reason as my sword
The Knowledge as my shield
I'll face my foes again and again
- Pohjola
Luonto ponteva Pohjannaan!
Milloin taas hänen nänhdä saan?
Milloin saanenkaan kesä-yöllä
Nähdä kirkkaalla sädevyöllä
Ympäröityä taivoaan?
Milloin laineilta Pohjan vetten
Nähdä hohtehen, nähdä ett'en
Lansna unta ma nähnyt vaan? –
- Raised By The Sword
Oh, who is raised by the sword can't be beaten,
Who is toughened by the fire can't be burned.
Awaited by immortality
Are the ones sacrificing their lives
To blood, to victory, to the truth.
As we sow, as shall we reap,
We will turn your fields into death shining,
- Rawhide
Rollin', rollin', rollin'
Rollin', rollin', rollin'
Rollin', rollin', rollin'
Rollin', rollin', rollin'
Rawhide!
Keep rollin', rollin', rollin'
Though the streams are swollen
- Retribution Shall Be Mine
No sun rises today
No moon shares it's light
Eclipse of soul
Growing breach of faith
Pierced by bitter deception
Chained to the darkness
Left to rot with hate
- Rum, Women, Victory
What should one do when darkens the sky
When in the horizon enemies' sails arise?
What should one do when there is a need
To fool the approaching death, to do a hero's deed?
We rule the Seven Seas!
Swords high for our Queen!
Shout for what we live:
- Run from the Crushing Tide
Far away, so long ago
The oldest story that has ever been told
A boy and a girl, a pure, forbidden love
Nothing, not even a roaring sea, could keep these hearts apart
Sun, moon and stars
Nature, bless our love
All I need is you by my side
- Slayer of Light
I have come to unfold your mind
in my veins runs the poison wild
in the streams of mountains I flow
I have opened the doors for unleashed and endless hate
it will burn like the raging green flames
inside a man dwell secrets so cold
Through the dreadful storms, across the frozen oceans
- Smoking Ruins
For many years ago
He left his home behind.
No farewells or a note,
Like a thief he fled into the night.
Heart full of foolish pride,
He caused a death of his clans man
All prophesies he denied,
- Sword Chant
[Grim man's tale:]
[I:]
A flaming blade of the dark shadows struck the lands
With furious lightning it fell into the hands of man
And the ancient fire came down
Down from the sky into the ground
The clouds moved aside as the sword was cast from the sky
Burnt by a mark of fire, who shall make this find
- Tale Of Revenge
He bears a tale so gloom and tragic never to be known
Into darkness now fallen, into hatred now grown
Like stillborn child drifting in the silent seas
of blood, crushing all his dreams
No castle walls can hold the fury in his eyes
Devotion for death, now controls his life
No gold or silver can bring him consolation
Only one thing is left inside him, the desire of revenge
- Tears
Shadows of evening on a traveller's way
Destiny tells where the strange path will lead you
Alone I've been walking this path every day
under the stars and the white silver moon
I hear a song and I'm closing my eyes
while it's sound is carresing my poor and sad mind
Will you tonight give your promise to me
For one day the silence will sleep in your dreams
- The Defence of the Sampo
Row my brave brothers
The darkest moment is here
On these murky waters
Have perished many heroes
With our might and magic
We have come so far
Fighting men and beasts
- The Longest Journey
"Could my ruin have come,
my day of trouble have arrived
in these Tuonela cabins
these abodes of the dead land?" - Kalevala
Far beyond the Dark Stream pagan souls will
Roam those cold lands wild and free
Wait for the sign; a blood red sky
- The New Dawn
Through the storm and the wind we ride
Leaving it all far behind
Another war is straight ahead
This fight will give us all
None shall live they all will fall
When the new dawn arises, we stand tall
Fight! For a new dawn
- Token Of Time
Harvest the field of time
with the old man's scythe
The narrow path of the chosen one
reaches beyond life
I set sails for the ageless winds
No fear of dying or a thought of surrender
I threaten every barrier on my way
- Treacherous Gods
The Land Is Silent... Before The Storm!
On the vast fields of snow, the wind is blowing strong
With it's frozen cold and relentless touch
it leaves a dead and hollow land of ice
I have seen through the eyes of a wolf
and felt all its pain and loneliness
- Tumman Virran Taa
Yllä harmaan korven korpit laulaa,
Hurme tämän kansan roudan sulattaa,
Katso kuinka hohkaa kansi taivaan,
Kutsuu se meitä tumman virran taa,
Heikot vaipuu kuohuun sysimustaan,
Sankarit kun astuu joen rantaan,
Halki iäisyyden laulu raikaa,
Kutsuu se veljiä tumman virran taa
- Twilight Tavern
We heard that enemies were approaching from the south
We marched to face them, I killed their scout
But we were ambushed and slaughtered in the night
We fought so bravely but none were left alive
Now I open my eyes and what do I see
A rainbow in the moonlight, pipers calling me
They say don't be afraid and asked me to follow
- Two Of Spades
I go all the way
Night and day
Women, booze and money
It's all just a game
Hit and run
That's how I play
All or nothing
- Unsung Heroes
Forgotten tomb hill
Unnamed graves
No light can reach there
Memories fade away
Only frozen soil
And eternal wind
Remember the sacrifice
- Vandraren
[Digipack bonus track]
[Nordman cover]
Vandraren har ingen stans att gå, när han kommit fram till slutet.
Månen färgar alla skuggor blå, han är ensam kvar där ute.
Långt där borta från en enslig gård, lyser värmen ut i natten.
Väcker hungern i hans frusna kropp, som har levt på luft och vatten.
- Victory Song
The plan of invasion an evil deception
Was made in the halls of the dark kingdom
To steal their riches, to slave them all
To make them kneel for a new god
The guard woke up the sleeping men
With the sound of a bronze horn
The enemy is getting closer
So brace yourselves for assault
- Victory Songs

- Wandered
In time bleeding wounds will heal
Unlike some which are too deep to see
Like scars in a nomad's soul
Their mending is so slow
Not the shout of a hundred enemies
Can make me feel fear inside me
But when sun sets and the cold arrives

- Warrior Without A War
Only change is unavoidable,
A brave new chapter is getting closer,
Without a shroud of doubt he walked,
The road, so long, one dream, now gone.
What are you more afraid to find,
Something to live or something to die for?
In the end, how will you fall?
- Warrior's Quest
Strike with the powers of magic stone
Grab your legacy that you behold
If you can find your destiny
Then you may return back to your home
Ride away with your mighty horse
Ride away through the land of storms
Unknown are the ways of your journey ahead
- Way of the Warrior
""Let's go! Staring at the dying flames Moon as my old only guard It's too late to hesitate Only the weaks suffer in this life It's the way of the warrior This path before me Destined to be king Of battlefields It's the eve of the bloodshed: Women and Mead! From the skulls of my foes Tomorrow I'll drink! I shall honour my blade With deeds not with hollow words Men will kneel when they hear my name Before I laugh and rip out their wretched hearts It's the way of the warrior This path before me Destined to be king Of battlefields It's the eve of the bloodshed: Women and Mead! From the skulls of my foes Tomorrow I'll drink! (from Kalevala 26) Siell on miehet miekka vyöllä Urohot sota-aseissa Humalassa hullut miehet Pahat paaljo juotuansa It's the way of the warrior This path before me Destined to be king Of battlefields It's the Eve of the bloodshed: Women and Mead! From the skulls of my foes Tomorrow I'll drink! It's the way of the warrior This path before me Destined to be king Of battlefields It's the Eve of the bloodshed: Women and Mead!
