Текст песни:

The Devils weds a widow
Death another′s leftovers
Better to lie on a willows
Rest on alder boughs
Then upon a widow′s bed
On a used woman′s pillow
Sweeter the side of a fence
Then a widow′s flank

Softer the side of a grove
Than a widow′s beside is

The Devil weds a widow
The grave one twice wed
A widow′s hand is rougher
Than a dry spruce bough
With which she strikes the playful
Grabs the one who laughs
A widow has had her games
And spent a merry evening

Текст песни:

Tear dimmed rememberance
In a womb of time
Breath upon me
Possessed by the passion
Fate will set you free
Infertile
Chased be the precious
When flesh is an enemy
Fair weather man

step aside from the way of a better man than you
so you fall at his feet he′s the one who betrays you
it′s the servants devotion for the decay
stand up

there are no flowers on your grave
there are no chains
there I keep chanting for the forgotten name

why you feel so empty
and still have everything
it′s fullfilment
I′ve got more companions
when I′m all alone
flesh is fetching

@ Amorphis

Текст песни:

Still searching for my way, the right way to be
still pondering what I′ve done
I′m still thinking what I′ve said, still finding from within
and all that I know is still not enough

I′m being held by the one
shadow tormenting my soul
the curving neck of a swan
the slow turning of a birds head

So white its plumes and feathers
itse breast like the moon in water
silent and tranquil it moves
on the river in the calm

I wander back on familiar roads
I sense the marks I left on the hills
I see the cuts and wounds of my deeds
they make me muse on life

Up the hill and the mountain
I look back, I look down
there flows the River of Death
and here the wind in my hair

@ Amorphis

Текст песни:

This is how the lucky feel
How the blessed think
Like daybreak in spring
The sun on a spring morning

But how do I feel
In my gloomy depths?

Like the flat brink of a cloud
Like a dark night in autumn
A black winter day
No, darker than that
Gloomier than an autumn night

@ Amorphis

Текст песни:

Free flowing water
The air is so warm
It breathes for you
It sees through you before the storm
And if the lake can′t
Be the sister
To the moon
To the river
To the sun

The leaves are falling
Cutting the moonlight
They brake the waves
Gazing to the stars
And if the lake can′t
Be the sister
To the moon
To the river
To the earth

I know I wouldn′t be strong
Wouldn′t be brother to the moon
I know I wouldn′t be strong
Wouldn′t be sister to the woods

Here is another soul
Another path
Another God

Текст песни:

Where have you been, where have you been
my son, my merry son?
On the seashore, on the seashore
mother, my darling one.

And what have you been doing there
my son, my merry son?
I have been watering my horse
mother, my darling one.

Why is there blood upon your feet
my son, my merry son?
My horse stamped with its iron shoe
mother, my darling one.

Why there is blood upon your sword
my son, my merry son?
I have stabbed my brother to death
mother, my darling one.

What now of you, where will you go
my son, my wretched son?
To other lands to foreign lands
my dame, my darling one.

When will you be returning home
my son, my wretched son?
When all the world to judgement comes
my dame, my darling one.

Текст песни:

So many years I′ve been fading
And closed the doors behind
Pay that price if you lost it all
The end is not the past recall

Waiting for the enclosening darkness
And there you will be the light
As it′s carved in your soul
Step out from your mould

The captured mind is a captured state
But only free will has it′s sustain
You burn away all you once loved
Now it′s time to turn away

It′s all too clear you′ve been hiding
Nothing to tell but lies
Feel shame when you distain it all
Your stand is not the past recall

@ Amorphis

Текст песни:

Many rocks the rapid has
A lot of billows the sea
More plentiful are my cares
Then cones on a spruce
Beard moss on a juniper
Gnarls upon a pine bark
Knobs upon a fir
Husks on a grass-top
Boughs on a bad tree.

Drag my cares away
Carry off my griefs
For no horse can draw
No iron-shod jerk
Without the shaft-bow shaking off
The cares of this skinny one
The sorrows of this black bird

@ Amorphis

Текст песни:

Got a maid from the lands of north
A wife from lands of strange
The work of gods was at last replaced
By days and nights of men

She wakes beside me
She stands by me
She stares at our sky
She lives our lives

In the beginning of all time the sounds of war
I sanctified for work
Cries of terror harmonized to a song
Spirits of wrath restrained

And now dead is my wife
Ripped apart by iron teeth
Slashed by the claws of steel
The ancient venom surfaced again

She lies in the ground
She′s gone from me
She stares without eyes
She stares at me

Poisoned by the bane of riches
Betrayed by lies manifold
Slain by avenger
The ancient venom turned the course of fate

She woke beside me
She stood by me
She stared at our sky
And lived our life
