[x2] Hän katsoi maan reunalta tähteä putoavaa Nyt kauniit kasvot neitosen peittää karu maa Jokaisen täytyy katsoa silmiin totuuden Sillä aika ompi voittoisa, mut’ tämä maa on ikuinen [English translation] He gazed the falling star from the edge of the world Now the face of the maiden are covered by rough land Everyone has to look in the eyes of the truth Because the time is victorious, but this land is eternal There’s a place... 

So much farther off than time could reach Today it would be too late So much despair he has bled But will he wither away No one knows that you must keep This Old Man wide awake ’cause no one knows that he could feed Our lives with a brighter flame [Chorus 1:] Hush little dreamer, the bearer of light Has come to set you free Now little dreamer at last you can sigh ’cause the nightmares will be released [Chorus 2:] Sweeter far than life... 

Shadows of evening on a traveller’s way Destiny tells where the strange path will lead you Alone I’ve been walking this path every day Under the stars and the white silver moon I hear a song and I’m closing my eyes While its sound is carresing my poor and sad mind Will you tonight give your promise to me For one day the silence will sleep in your dreams I’ve been waiting for so long time To see the light of the golden bright... 

High above the ground Beyond the thunderclouds A Black shade is flying alone Once so feared among men Now the legend is becoming too old But finally the horrifying truth is about to unfold Deathbringer from the Sky Hunting victims in the night Feel the terror as flames are burning bright There is… No tower as high or a cave so deep That can save you from its endless spite So bow down and face your wretched destiny A Den filled with treasures... 

At the time of sundown Nature bathes in colours In silence it waits For the approaching force In the halls of Ainola The true king of dark waters Lurks with his mistress And a mob of a sea creatures Under the waves of a blue lake Dwells the mighty AHTI! Sailors praise the glorious name Of the ruler of tides; AHTI! At the shores of a northern land Pray mortal men Destruction for the arrogant fools A Reward for humble souls The great lurker of the seas Is... 

In time bleeding wounds will heal Unlike some which are too deep to see Like scars in a nomads soul Their mending is so slow Not the shout of a hundred enemies Can make him feel fear inside him But when sun sets and the cold arrives With crushing solitude in the darkness of night He will ride across land and time To find a way through this endless night There’s a storm in his heart and the fire burns his soul But the wanderer’s part is... 

The plan of invasion an Evil deception Was made in the halls of the dark kingdom To steal their riches To slave them all To make them kneel for a new God The Guard woke up the sleeping men With the sound of a bronze horn The enemy is getting closer So brace yourselves for assault! Swords in their hands they killed each and every man Who dared to invade their sacred land Victory songs are raising in the night Telling all of their undying strength and... 

A raven came to me, Spoke to me in my dream. A long lost prophecy, A forgotten legacy. Echoes of yesterday, Won’t let these dreams fade away. All the beauty I adored, At the edge of the world. Across the universe, Time is to be reversed. No shelter can be found, To this fate, we are bound! Behold the final hour, The last times will be dour. All life falls into gorge Of the end of the world! “Burning skies On the vengeance night. Devastating... 

We heard that enemies were approaching from the south We marched to face them, I killed their scout But we were ambushed and slaughtered in the night We fought so bravely but none were left alive Now I open my eyes and what do I see A rainbow in the moonlight, pipers calling me They say don’t be afraid and asked me to follow You’ve been expected, so forget your sorrow! [Chorus:] Their warrior’s souls forever rejoice TWILIGHT TAVERN! With...
