Lyrics
Tääl' lakeuksilla Pohjolan he asustelivat,
muuan pakanakansa lähes unhoon vaipunut.
ne vimmaiset, jotka veljiänsä puolustivat,
he, joita kastettu ei aikonutkaan tunnustaa.
He valloittivat, ryöstelivät
kunniaksensa
ja etenivät voittoisasti perääntymättä.
Vaan samat aikeet toisella, heitä pahemmalla;
vihollisen vanhan saarella saivat kohdata.
Koskaan eivät he uhkaa
väistäneet,
tarttuivat kirveisiinsä jumalten.
Vastus kuitenkin vahvistuneena
päättänyt oli heidät musertaa.
Oli kääntyvä uusi sivu
taistelussa ruttoa vastaan.
Eihän kunniaa voi saavuttaa
jos jättää kokematta kuoleman.
…jäätyi verensä hankeen.
Valtakautensa lepää nyt pohjassa —
ylväs liekki sammui, vaan silti
voittaja saa häpeää kantaa:
he hukuttivat myös kunnian.
Nyt valtaistuimella istuu väärä
kuningas,
nälkäisten petojen kaitsija, peto itsekin.
Vaan alistettu kansa tuo ei koskaan katoa;
voi menneisyyteen itseâ mme emme unhoittaa.
On aika pysähtynyt.
Once upon a time here on the plains of Pohjola
there dwelled a heathen people almost forgotten by now.
Known as northmen, they furiously defended their kin,
thus being those who the baptised never recognized.
They conquered and plundered, they held to their
honour,
victoriously they advanced with no plans of retreat.
But even one more evil did think of the same;
on the island they encountered an enemy once known.
They never stood back at a threat
but grabbed their axes granted by gods.
Yet grown in strength, their foes had decided
once and for all to crush them to the ground.
There was a page to turn in the legends
of the battles against all plague.
For it’s in vain to accomplish honour
if failing to experience death.
…in white their blood now frozen.
In the deep of the waves lies now their reign —
flame once so proud now dead, yet their shame
shall the vanquisher forever bear:
no sunken honour may rise for them.
Behold the throne for there now sits the king of wrongful deeds,
the shepherd of such hungry beasts, not less a beast himself.
But people submitted to them shall never disappear;
in the past long gone we can not forsake what in our hearts dwell.
And time, it has ended.

Lyrics translation
Here's where they lived.,
I'm almost forgotten by the pagan people.
the fiends who defended their brethren,
those who were baptized never intended to confess.
They conquered, they plundered
honours
and advanced triumphantly without retreating.
But the same intentions with the other, worse than them;
they had to face the enemy on Old Island.
They never threaten
dodged,
they took their axes from the gods.
However, resistance strengthened
determined to overwhelm them.
There was a turning new page
fighting the plague.
You can't achieve glory.
if you don't experience death.
... froze his blood on the project.
His reign now rests on the bottom —
the noble flame went out, but still
the winner will be ashamed to bear:
they also drowned the honor.
Now sitting on the throne is wrong
king,
the keeper of hungry beasts, The Beast himself.
But the oppressed people that will never go away;
Oh, we don't sleep in the past.
It's pretty stalled.
Once Upon a time here on the plains of Pohjola
there dwelled a heathen people almost forgotten by now.
Know as northmen, they furiously defended their kin,
thus being those who baptized never recognized.
They claimed and plundered, they held to their
honor,
victoriously they advanced with no plans of retreat.
But even one more evil did think of the same;
on the island they encounter an enemy once known.
They never stood back at a threat
but grabbed their axes graded by gods.
Yet grown in strength, their foes had decided
once and for all to crush them to the ground.
There was a page to turn in the legends
of the battles against all plague.
For it's only to accept honor
if failing to experience death.
... in white their blood now frozen.
In the deep of the waves lies now their reign —
flame once so proud now dead, yet their shame
shall the vanquisher forever bear:
no sunken honor may rise for them.

the shepherd of such hungry beasts, not less a beast himself.
But people submitted to them shall never disappear;
in the past long gone we can not forsake what in our hearts dwell.
