Eternal Tears of Sorrow

[Music: Vetelainen & Hiltula & Puolakanaho & Kokko] [Lyrics: Vetelainen & Puolakanaho] Let the fire burn And the ashes drown your past, Let the rain fall down And wash the ruins of your life When the wind is blowing It dries the sands...

The last ray of the dying sun Was born from the sacred flames He was meant to be the One The One to rule the light, The forgotten son of wind, The seventh king of the dawn He was called by the name... Angelheart The second tide had turned, Completing the night...

Die... Drown... Fall asleep... No one will find... The lives once so innocent, On the days of the light and joy, The smiles that melt even ice, And those eyes made all rejoice So arrived the man from the shadows, Riding the beast of the eternal reig...

Järvi musta hiljaisuuden, Ranta edesmenneiden, Lipuu hiljaa lautta Saivon, Neidon suruhuntuisen Astuu rantaan tytär tuonen, Lapsi kylmän pohjoisen, Joka kerran maahan uinui, Poveen ikiroutaisen Kaiku kuiskaa hiljaa tähtiin, Kallioihin katoaa, Kuu k...

In the room of smothered thoughts Lost in the maze of the mind I'm searching for myself Among the shades Reflection of the dark wraith The master of my dreams Behind the smoky glass He calls my name Misty voice... Beyond my dreams: "Join my realm, please come...

Red sparks fill the sky and they fall to the earth on fire The bright stars fade away and the moon is turning to red The dark woods of the valley whisper stories of an old witch Living on the great hill covered by ice and snow The strongest soul above them al...

As I die... Stare as eyes uphold me. And wait to see right through. And curse me... The love has crippled you. Shadows haunt the night. Burning my disguise. As I die... Reaping through the truth, Life becomes untrue. Sin the last diversion. My fate...

Each morn I sit and watch the waters, as your waves drift gently inwards. The gentle breeze that brings your smile will caress my wayward spirit. I hear your voice as you drift away on an everlasting tide. The passing skies that reflect in shadows become dista...

Under a darkened sun they are born When the moon is losing its shape I'm here again to see The nightly dance of the flames Once my father bore his sword To defend the clan till the end Now he braves the battles Between the red northern flames In the silence...

The dance of two free souls...No more masquerades of mortals Just you and me as nightly guests at the dance hall of our last Autumn Your look's so faithful, so brave...as you feel our common pain Our lives and love now in a single stream...the stream of our la...

While the seventh king of dawn is veiled by the shrouds of shadows, And the crown of the saint is turned into rusty blades of the beast Rise, my children of hatred, Feel the aura of the embracing night, You're the ones who have been foreseen, Feeding the...

Here we are at bard's burial To celebrate our friend's last journey to Walhalla Come my friend, drink this wine, eat all food and sing all night Last breath, final verse, a poem you have never heard End of life, shining bright, goodbye, we sing your song 

Grief is the rust of the mind, So empty inside, Awaiting the polar darkness, It is my time to drown in fear But I saw it that night, Glances of hope, Visions of the blazing stars, Still I drowned in my sorrow I walked through the fire, Got through the ice, E...

The flowing stream... A shape of a woman on its shore She's washing my cloak Which was stained by the clay of time Her eyes are so sad and full of grief A flow of tears running on her cheek Her look tells me it all... Soon it'll be the time to leave Three qu...

When I'm in this state of mind I am wishing I was blind Sometimes life is more than pain to me I feel the power of my grief, Death would be such a relief All the secrets that I hide would die with me Depression is my only friend. Will this torture never e...

I can recall the sweet symphonies of my lost side She filled my dreams with the enchanting aura But the sweet days of delight were buried in dust On the battle fields of the unholy hordes Sometimes blood paints all to black...and we can't see all the colours...

All alone with bitter thoughts I swear on the name of my rage Those who made me suffer will now taste my hate By the blood of hatred I seal my wounds so deep Now it's time to get back what belongs to me I feel how my strength is growing... I want to s...

Under the seven mountains of the furthest North, In the womb of ice, the deepest core Rest in peace my dear old friend, Till the day they will repent, By the profane power of the sleeping one, Let the final harvest come The seed of tar was sown in ice, Sprou...

I saw her standing by the crimson sea... Her gazing was intense but so dead... The teardrops corroded the soil... She couldn't say a word to me... I know I want to be the young bride of the crimson sea I'm here to join the dark waves on this sacred night I kn...

Walking towards the night... The flames once burnt inside Back then I was alive when the fire walked by my side The screaming fire burnt the leaves of mine and left the ashes of divine All the leaves contained my name The shadows took them and carried away Fi...

Alone with the questions, an outcast for many years He has seen those marble archways and the avenue of crimson tears Now shadows are staring at him but he turns his face away They remind him of his true self, gone with the first winter day Yesterday's like a...

The four winds still keep moaning, The song once heard at the birth, It is the chant for the northern sun, And for the seven stars of the Plough Forged in the flames of the heavens, On the vault of winter skies, The ancient call for the snow, And the rune for...

I am your leader, I am the winter storm, Hear the tune within, My beasts are crying One with the chill, Inside my sacred heart, I'll show you where all the petals fall, After the storm Black soul of a raven, Within my thirsty hordes, Dark blood of...

Nightmares... Shadows on the wall, Keep me awake through the night, Faceless man in his chair, Writing the diary of my life By the words written in the air, Controlling every act I take, Insane visions of the blind man, Becoming real before my eyes...

Like the flight of a dead bird my life is going out Darkness is my mistress at cold full moon nights Only stars know my paths, I'm a wild wanderer of fields Lonely trips in my realm... Will you share this with me? As I howl at night, the wind join my song......

A little girl, almost a woman So pretty, so young Sweet dress, shining hair Dancing alone above the meadow Smile on her divine face Red lips and green eyes The most beautiful creature That mortaks have ever seen But her eyes were empty like a well that has ru...

The fire in your soul is fading When our worlds collide The charming serpent slithers While an innocent dies I set a trap of the sneaking temptation: You know I feel forever desire: Cleanse yourself of all your sins I can feel your sinful thoughts Yo...

I close my eyes to see within myself as the first snow falls on me I close my ears to hear my inner voice and the cold wind freezes me This is my land, our holy land, I don't want to leave this place But there are unholy men all around us and they want to tak...

[Music: Kokko & Hiltula] [Lyrics: Vetelainen & Puolakanaho] The night's too strong The light's so weak This is where it all began It's all the same once more The times are so dark They reach the end The ancient omens are now here The golden beast is...

I know your demons, Black messengers of impure faith, Who are pecking out eyes of the blind Oh, join my lambs, Your sins now confess like a weak, And let me heal the child lost from the path One lash for thoughts, The second one for the deeds you have...

Mountains are quaking On the soil of the Gods Scene's covered by the silvery light And the falling tears from the cope Long lasting silence Has now reached its end It is time to listen to the ancient tune From the Valley of Might and fells Peal of the chariots...

Daughters of the dawn walked among the trees And the forest called for them to join the nightly march Eternity was present, it touched the hearts of them all It filled them with joy and neverending peace They listen to the wind, they pray for relief The candl...

From the land of coldness, Under the Northern vault of the sky, Echoes the tune of yearning, For the times of the sun and light It's the bird of the midnight moment, The swan of the brightest nights, And the song about her leaving, While the snow cover...

I travel across the sea to the place where no-one's been Storm clouds above me, blue stream which knows me Sailing towards the darklands, tales tell me there is a man He's the evil betrayer, he will die by the hand of a sailor It's night, I close my eyes, the...

Like a mother takes care of her children, the nightwind cries for her Hear those silent whispers... Like an infant's very first words Light a candle for those who once were, and the dreams that never came true Hear the silent crying of souls who lost their way...

When the veil of night covers the whitest orchids of the night I feel the darkest velvet in my arms I follow the calling tune, the strains of the darkest night And enjoy the silent song of a nightingale I raise the silver goblet full of the nightly dew And f...

Cry with me, die with me, burn in hell with me, And see your clouded mind, intertwined with your hate inside This path was closed for ages but then I found the way, It's now your time to face it, it's now your time to pay When the winter night is the gui...

I remember, it was December, the darkest winter, my body shivered The coldest snow, cold northwind blew, the greatest storm hit like the thorns The place'd been chosen and God howled there The wind was his voice, the snow was his soil Without a heart in those...

A gap between the scenes Severs the present and the time to come On the layers of the outer heaven Hidden omens are found The one who seeks May find the end of the line But the one who also sees Makes out the meaning of the signs The brightest star is dying...

Every day is like a new hell, every night my eyes swell Turn my pain into pleasure, kill my desire for you My dreams feel so real, they are more than just dreams I see the Raven in your eyes Come into my grief I see the Raven in your eyes and my passion rise...

Once again I see the dawn It burns my eyes and stings like thorns I must hide till there is Nothing more to see Let me see if theres still time Questions are waiting by the line I must find the way to get me Anywhere but here Is there time? From the s...

Born from young maiden's hair Was watered by the children's tears The tree is rising about the ghosts And its leaves will never fall Once the sky was full of flames The sinister rain was stained fields But cherry blossoms were all whitened By the souls of blam...

When the last angel's falling above the crimson sea, By the sun's final rising, I don't even see How the silent tears are flowing from the reaper's eyes, As the frost is calling for young harvest to the night, He's crying for my heart... He's mourning for...
