Darkness was my light Muteness was my tongue Death was my life Matter was my spirit I am a brother to the fire To fire a brother I am From breasts of maidens three I drank the black milk Devoured the white milk I swallowed the red milk Brother to the...
I who have forged the heavens I also have my king To northland I was sent I was cast to distant Pohjola Enforced by my king's spells His orders undenied From the small crumbs of earth From a fleece of summer ewe From a memory of a single seed From th...
To a strange land, Land of Pohjola I took my gift, I received it from the gods I melted the knowledge of heaven From the pieces of my heart I built a golden mill I made the heavens, I delivered them I gave the horn of plenty, released them My king so...
Under the vault of heavens I stood alone, waiting The blaze of silver shining in my eyes My hands of gleaming gold The red of iron in my veins The blue of steel in my bones The sparkle of blackness of coal in my hair My chest golden with waved It is...
From the misty dreams of nighttime I sought the clarity of my days From the gates of longing Looked for the familiar glow The death of my wife's slayer Brought no comfort to me No shape from loneliness For a dream A queen of gold I made A silver brid...
From my world the sun faded And the moon from my sky was gone with stars I came home to a bleak room of sorrow Forsaken house, place of grief, in solitude I listened to my heart beating The faint rush of my blood I listened to my heart beating The ec...

Stand on conviction and you will walk alone. For once I have stood (I have stood), no one will know, But alone I was born and alone we must go. In my convictions I've found my own grave, but amongst the dead we all fade away. Yeah... Yet solitude is...
Bound to learn the hard way This is the human condition There is nothing that can be said To stop us from making mistakes When I look to myself as a source of ending pain No matter how many times before I've failed It seems our problems solve themsel...
Yeah... Condemned... Condemned... Condemned... Condemned... Condemned... without given a chance to speak. Without acknowledgment they're made less than human. Condemned... Condemned to anonymity. Trapped by... Trapped by obscurity. Condemned... Conde...
The only constant is change The only constant is change, go The human heart is born without legs Sliding back and forth And never once does it truly rest Unless accompanied by death Sliding back and forth Even the strongest Remnants of history They h...
Just like the spread of disease Debt and guilt or guilt and decree The masters that we please Yet if we seek help for infirmities We are made twice the sons of hell as before Reach out your hand Reach out your hand Only to be plagued by disease Reach...
Many choose to find their hope in the thoughts of afterlife, when there is none to be found right here before we die. So I understand the feeling of helplessness, when we are just taught to wait here...wait here for death. Wait here for death. Wait f...
