Sails up! We're leaving today Distant lands are calling Cowards stay at home; this is a quest of true men Farewell, should we never see again Weeping women waiving at the pier When the sky starts cry But neither rain, nor wind can make us turn around What's decided, has to be done See how the forefathers greet, us with northern lights Bravely towards unknown shores, through raging stroms we fight faith in the gods, their strenght in our hearts, when lightning strikes If we die, we'll meet again in Valhalla.. If we die the sun will shine again beyond mortal time In a dream I saw two ravens in the sky And a verdant land behind When we set out feet there, we'll burn our fleet 'cos the land is promised to us by gods May Njord protect us on our way May the moon light our path Let our spirits be purified by the ocean's breeze Let the wind, tell our legend which ever lasts When we reach the open sea / Leaving our home behind The Dragondheads are rising / Let the stars be our guides

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 but with strength and courage you can avoid your death Throw you sword through the memories embracing your bleeding heart Don't follow the shadows they ain't for real like the guiding stars As he falls to eternity the truth is fading Part of him died long time ago but still there's death awaiting Go now brave warrior don't look back the stars will guide you through the night But even the brightest light, won't reach into the darkest night...

This track is instrumental.
On this magical dawn the colours of the autumn are reflected by a light A light that has been captured for years in oblivion Circles of wind are raging now and so his powers are slowly dying Before the coldness rapes the land his spirit is wandering into the night... to DIE! Over the mountains he had travelled Across the oceans deep in the night Now when it's time to say last farewells show us your power show us your mighty gift from the sky His eyes can see it so clearly now but his restless mind cannot sense it in the air THE WHITE STORM IS CLOSE! ...and his powers gained in this mystcial place more than he ever possessed before. So now he could rule the realms of ice... ONCE AGAIN!

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 Wanted to soar heavenward The sun burnt his cheeks The moon lit his brows The islander slips into hiding And takes to his heels Out of dark Northland The murky house of Sara

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 ja siintävät salmes' ja vuonojen suut. Siell' usein matkani määrätöin läpi metsien kulki ja näreikköin, Minä seisoin vaaroilla paljain päin, missä Karjalan kauniin eessäin näin Terve, metsä, terve, vuori, terve, metsän ruhtinas! Täs on poikas uljas, nuori; esiin käy hän, voimaa täys, kuin tuima tunturin tuuli. Metsän poika tahdon olla, sankar jylhän kuusiston, Tapiolan vainiolla karhun kanssa painii lyön ja mailma Unholaan jääköön. Ihana on täällä rauha, urhea on taistelo: myrsky käy ja metsä pauhaa, tulta iskee pitkäinen ja kuusi ryskyen kaatuu.
