Lyrics
Katson pohjaan joen sulaneen | Vesi taittaa valon himmenneen | Katson itseeni,
katson sairauteen | Itseni
kaikesta vapautan | Niin kylmä maa jolla makaan | Tunnen sen liikkeen jokaisen
| Yhteen hetkeen mahtuu
elämä | Ajatukset virtaavat veden matkassa | Niin lämmin utuinen ilma | Kaukana
aurinko silmiltä piilossa |
Maailman suljen nyrkkiini veriseen | Itseni kaikesta vapautan | Hetken kai
luulin olleeni muualla | Turvassa
jumalten kostolta | Missä kohdin kuljimme harhaan? | Ei kukaan täällä voi sitä
kertoa | Varjona kuljen
kuolleiden maassa | Näen kaikki ympärillä kuolleina | Joskus kai synnyin uuteen
maailmaan | En tiennyt sen
päättyvän näin | Kynnyksellä uuden uljaan ajan | Yhä mietin miten tänne päädyin
| Kuinka loppumme sai
alkunsa | Kuka siitä oli vastuussa | En nähnyt suurta petoa | En kuullut lopun
pasuunoita | Kukaan ei tuhonnut
aurinkoa | Vain ihminen kylvi tulta | Aikamme päättyi suruun ja ruttoon | Veli
veljeltään elämän niitti | Missä
kohdin kuljimme harhaan? | Jäi kaikille jaettavaksi kuolleiden maa | Olen
siellä mistä kaikki alkaa uudelleen |
Missä valo ei värejä näytä | Kaikkialle levittäytyy tasainen niitty | Vain
taivas ylläni vaalenee | Käy rauhaisena
vierelläni tuuli | Itse silmäni suljen ja itken | Tänne jään, kaipuuta vailla |
Rikotun henkeni veden virtaan annan |
Olen siellä mistä kaikki alkaa uudelleen | Tyhjänä näyttäytyy ikuisuus ja aukenee | Kuolleille kuolleiden maa
The Land of the Dead
To the bottom of a thawed river I look | Water bends the dimmed light | I look
into myself, I look into
sickness | And release myself from everything | So cold the ground which I lie
upon | I feel it’s every move |
Life contained in one moment | Thoughts flow along with water | So warm the
foggy air | Far the sun,
hidden from my eyes | In my bloody fist I enclose the world | And release
myself from everything | For a while I must’ve thought I was elsewhere | Safe from the gods' revenge | Where
did we go astray? | Nobody
here can tell | As a shadow I walk in the land of the dead | I see everyone
around me deceased | Someday,
I must have been born into a new world | I did not know this was how it would
end | On the threshold
of a brave new era | Still wondering how I ended up here | How our ending
commenced | And who was
responsible | I did not see a massive beast | Did not hear the trumpets of doom
| Nobody destroyed the
sun | Fire was sowed by man alone | Our time ended in sorrow and plague |
Brothers killed by brothers |
Where did we go astray? | Left for all to divide, the land of the dead | I am there where everythings
starts and | Where the light shows no colours | An even meadow stretching
everywhere | Only the
sky above me growing lighter | A calm breeze is blowing beside me | I close my eyes and weep | Here I shall remain, without yearning | My broken spirit I shall give to the streaming
waters | I am there where
everything starts anew | Eternity shows itself empty and opens up | For the
deceased, the land of the dead
Lyrics translation
I look at the bottom of the river melted | the water folds the light dimmed | I look at myself,
I look at the disease | myself
from everything I free | so cold the land I lie on / I know every movement of it
/ One moment can fit
life | thoughts flow as water travels | so warm hazy air / far away
sun hidden from the eyes |
World I close my fist in blood | I free myself from everything | for a moment I guess
I thought I was somewhere else | safe
from the vengeance of the gods | where did we go astray? | No one here can do it
tell | as a shadow I pass
in the land of the dead | I see everyone around me dead / sometimes I guess I was born into a new one
into the world | I did not know it
ending like this | on the threshold of a brave new time | still wondering how I got here
| How we ended
started | who was responsible | I did not see the great beast | I did not hear the end
trombones / nobody destroyed
sun | only man sowed fire | our time ended in sorrow and plague / brother
from his brother the rivet of life | where
where did we go astray? / Left for all to share with the land of the dead | I am
where it all starts again |
Where no light colors show | everywhere spread flat Meadow | only
the sky above me grows pale | calm
by my side the wind | myself my eyes close and cry | here I stay, longing |
I break my spirit in the water I give |
I am where everything begins again | empty appears eternity and opens | the land of the dead
