"Moon And Sun Part II: North's Sun"

"Moon And Sun Part II: North's Sun"

Go, look at the moon
And inspect the sun!
Now they are in the sky
Right in their old places

Hail, moon, for gleeming
Fair one for showing your face
Dear sun for dawning
And daylight for coming up!

Dear moon, you're out from the rock
Fair day from the cliff
You've risen as a golden cuckoo
As a silver dove
Up to where you used to live

Fare well now upon
Your way, upon your journey
Sweetly end your curve beautifully
Come at evening into joy!

"Morning Star"

"Morning Star"

You live only for yourself
Or send your soul to the heaven's grace
Been weak as the autumn leaves
Or strong as the growing seed
Swallowed into the black
Search for entrace

Watch to the eyes of morning star
Beckon for the savior
But it's much too far
Reach for the infinity
The only thing that remains is decay

"Mourning Soil"

"Mourning Soil"

Feel the ground
the mourning soil
close your eyes and lay

confront the passage of time
eternity which you cannot betray

barter away this haziness
down to earth this sparkling distress
thereafter you calling me hallowed

barter away this haziness
down to earth this sparkling distress
thereafter you calling me hallowed

sadness eclipsed
passing your heart
calling out the shadows from the dark

you still believe
that your life was empty
and now all that has gone

barter away this haziness
down to earth this sparkling distress
thereafter you calling me hallowed

barter away this haziness
down to earth this sparkling distress
thereafter you calling me hallowed

down to earth this sparkling distress
down to earth this sparkling distress

"My Enemy"

"My Enemy"

He set out to take my life
And the power of my soul
His spells against my might
My wrath he did ignite

Your brain replaced by mine
Your mind changed into mine
You lose sight of yourself
Your world no longer yours

The lightning of my eyes crumbles you
My fingers as snakes drag you to mire
The trembling earth now melts under you
Your legs turn to sludge from my ire

I feel your feelings now
I know now what you knew
I see how you have lied
Plunge you into your grave

Under the ground I force you
To Underworld I curse you
To arms of death deliver
And damn inside a rock

Remorse is useless there
And mercy never shown
Bribery’s futile there
No promises hold

No one feels your pain
No one there will listen
No one takes your hand
No one helps you now

But I will show him mercy
Let him return to life
I will show him mercy
I will let him go back

"My Future"

"My Future"

I was invited
Upon this shore
Where the past
Meets the future

So it found me
So it reached my mind
Helped me find the way
That leads to right place

I heard the call
I knew the form
It reached my mind
On this timeless shore
I heard the call
I knew the form
I ran no more
From what I can't escape

This is our moment
This is the past
This is our moment
This is our future

I heard the call
I knew the form
It reached my mind
On this timeless shore
I heard the call
I knew the form
I ran no more
From what I can't escape

I heard the call
I knew the form
It reached my mind
On this timeless shore
I heard the call
I knew the form
I ran no more
From what I can't escape

"My Kantele"

"My Kantele"

Truly they lie, they talk utter nonsense
Who say that music reckon that the kantele
Was fashioned by a god
Out of a great pike's shoulders
From a water-dog's hooked bones:
It was made from the grief

Its belly out of hard days
Its soundboard from endless woes
Its strings gathered from torments
And its pegs from other ills
Truly they lie, they talk utter nonsense
[x2]

So it will not play, will not rejoice at all
Music will not play to please
Give off the right sort of joy
For it was fashioned from cares
Moulded from sorrow.

"My Kantele (Acoustic Reprise)"

Truly they lie, they talk utter nonsense
Who say that music reckon that the kantele
Was fashioned by a god
Out of a great pike's shoulders
From a water-dog's hooked bones:
It was moulded from sorrow

Its belly out of hard days
Its soundboard from endless woes
Its strings gathered from torments, and its pegs from other ills
Truly they lie, they talk utter nonsense

Its belly out of hard days
Its soundboard from endless woes
Its strings gathered from torments, and its pegs from other ills
Truly they lie, they talk utter nonsense

"My Sun"

"My Sun"

Slowly turns the key of time
In the lock of promises broken
In mute silence of my space
I crouch under my yearning

The works of my gods receding now
Evade my grasping hands

Her hair I would long to adorn
With glowing stars
Her brow with shining sun
In silver I would trace
The moonshine of her grace
The shining one

Perfection of the skies I knew
And memories of my deeds
Fade away beyond my reach
And change to lonely nights

But ever so slowly
Turns the key of time
In a rusty lock
Of broken promises

"Narrow Path"

"Narrow Path"

A narrow path
Now overgrown
Covered by grass
Almost gone
It whispers an invitation to me
Unveils a new direction
Around me the forest sings
The sun gilds the road
Here’s my place
This is my world
Here’s my future
I make my fire here
The trail leads me to the sea
The stones feel so familiar
On this cliff I’ve been before
And heard the song of the waves
The path turns to a road
The river flows into the sea
Around me the forest sings
The sun gilds the road

"New Song"

"New Song"

In the light
Light of the fire
Blaze of my life flame
I watch the sunrise

I watch the moon
It's passing by
I watch the sparkling stars
Lights of the sky

Sing me a new song
Sing the ancient warriors' song
On this cliff
On the seashore
I am born again

Sing me a new song
(The ancient warriors' song)
Sing me a new song
(The ancient warriors' song)

I hear
The waves of time
I hear the questions
And answers of tide

I hear the voice
Voice of your soul
I listen to you
I reach for you

Sing me a new song
Sing the ancient warriors' song
On this cliff
On the seashore
I am born again

Sing me a new song
(The ancient warriors' song)
Sing me a new song
(The ancient warriors' song)

Ride

This is the shared moment
Of the living and the dead
Of all ages and times
Ages and times

Rise

The sun rises
The moon rides
The stars sown
Across the sky
