Could my ruin have come, My day of trouble arrived, In these tuonele cabins These abodes of the dead land? [Kalevala]
Far beyond the dark stream pagan souls will Roam those cold lands and free. Wait for the sign; a blood sky. Then beyond the dark stream we will ride.
The path of mortals, So narrow and brutal. Only bravest of them all Will find true valours
Decaying souls of men, trust in false omens, Will drown in the stream With their untrue beliefs.
He's been drifting For so long, Searching for the land. Where heroes
the horizon, The last ray of light, A breeze from the other side, Before he dies.
Dividing walls of stone, Eternal heathen Throne, Beneath cold starlight. Revealed for the purest sight.
Through constant affliction Towards alleviations, When a searing star is near. Carry on, you're almost here
Far the dark stream we'll meet again. Across wilderness and we will be home. Gather your strength, don't be afraid. Far beyond the dark stream, we'll meet again.
The longest of them all, Has to be made all alone A flame in the skyline reaching the stars Guiding the seeker through the night!
