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, At the edge of the world. Across the universe, time is to be reversed. No shelter can be found, to this fate, we are bound! Behold the final hour, the last times will be dour. All life falls into gorge of the end of the world! "burning skies on the vengeances night. Devastating scythe, of the ancient Light." I saw the might, of the ancient Light! And the beauty of the perishing world, theres no tomorrow. We have been warned. "The sky's bird struck fire, made a flame flare up. The north wind burnt the clearing. The north-east quite consumed it: it burnt all the trees to ash and reduced them to dust."

We heard that enemies were approaching from the south We marched to face them and 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 and valkyries calling me They say: “Don't be afraid” and ask me to follow. “You've been expected, so forget your sorrow.” There warrior's souls forever rejoice TWILIGHT TAVERN! With our ancestors we raise our horns TWILIGHT TAVERN! There warrior's swords forever shine on TWILIGHT TAVERN! Welcoming our brothers at the break of dawn! TWILIGHT TAVERN! Life is so short Oh son of the North You'll find your peace At the end of the journey Hey! All greet us when we open the door Familiar faces, brothers it’s been too long Beer is flowing, the smell of burning meat In the morning battle reigns like hell’s been unleashed As the sun sets behind the mountain's peak The master of the house shouts: “Drink and feast!” This feels like it is too good to be true The call for final battle will be here soon

This hate inside me, It is constantly growing. Years of hollow lies, Made pagan hatred rise. They came with their troops, Destroying land and roots. Abominations under the sun, They and their poisoned truth. One by one my people fell, Under their deceptive spell. How many sons of the Northe, had to fall? before our eyes could see; This isn't how it should be! "Under the Northern star We shed our blood. With the call of a battle horn. We raise our swords. Behind the fields of blood, There's a haven for us. Deep in the woods of the North, Rises the Heathen Throne" - Kalevala Upholder of the skies, For too long has your name been despised, Give us your strength and courage. When we meet our nemesis. On the shores that used to be, The place we called home. Our land and faith are raped, Somehow they're going to pay. Grant us your revenge, We are not afraid of death. Let none of them ever more, EVER MORE, Lay a hopeful gaze upon the sky!

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. Hasting towards an endless night. Across the high northern skies The eldest brother in all his might. Guards the frozen barren land with a token of wisdom in his hand. Forlorn moon and dreadful mist the youngest brother raises his fist. all life slowly withers away and the infinite circle begins again. The trail of the winds remains unseen, For mortals their realm stays concealed. The ageless skies that stand before our eyes, When we'll be gone they'll still be flying free. Silvery light of the sea, sparkles of far beneath. Cold breeze against their brawn, reminds them of cold steel and war!

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, and now in exile he grieves. Hear the call of the fallen ones Wisdom of those whose time has gone Live your life bravely my first born son, On battlefields fight, don't run. The wheel of time keeps turning a boy becomes a man. But still shame burns him. At last he understands. He heads back to his homeland. He rides fast like a storm wind But the flames in the horizon, tell there is only death to be found. By the smoking ruins of his past life. He raises his hand to the skies, "Oh god of thunder, god of my fathers, Strike me down for what I've done!"

"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." Translation from the booklet: "Above the darkened woods, blackened ravens sing As flows the people's blood to melt the frozen grounds See how glows the sky, how curve the heavens above us It beckons, calling us, to the land beyond the Dark Stream Those weakened, to the Darkest of Streams shall drown And when heroes those riverbanks will reach The sounds of singing acrfoss eternity shall echo Calling our brothers, to journey, afar beyond the Dark Stream

Could my ruin have come, My day of trouble have arrived, in these tuonele cabins these abodes of the dead land? - Kalevala Far beyon the dark stream pagan souls will roam those cold lands wild and free. wait for the sign; a blood red sky. Then beyond the dark stream we will ride. The path of mortals, so narrow and brutal. only bravest of them all will find true valours Decaying souls of men, who trust in false omens, will drown in the stream with their untrue beliefs. Hees been drifting for so long, searching for the land. Where heroes roam. In the horizon, The last ray of light, a breeze from the other side, before he dies. Dividing walls of stone, Eternal heathen Throne, Beneath the cold starlight. Revealed for the purest sight. Through constant affliction towards alleviations, When a searing star is near. Carry on, you're almost here Far beyond the dark stream we'll meet again. across the wilderness and we will be home. Gather your strength, dont be afraid. Far beyond the dark stream, we'll meet again. The longest journey of them all, has to be made all alone a flame in the skyline reaching the stars guiding the seeker through the night!

Vandraren har ingenstans 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 Det gör ont, men gå ändå, du kan alltid vända om Det gör ont, men gå ändå, du är här och kom hit som en vandrare Klockan ringer för en ensam själ, den har lånat röst av döden Vill den illa eller vill den väl, när den räknar våra öden Sluta tänka det är svårt ändå, du får ta en dag i taget Vandraren har ingenstans att gå, om han går vid sista slaget Det gör ont, men gå ändå, du kan alltid vända om Det gör ont, men gå ända, du är här och kom hit som en vandrare Det gör ont, men gå ändå, du kan alltid vända om Det gör ont, men gå ända, du är här och kom hit som en vandrare
