Let Go
07:20
|

I cannot see, I cannot hear
I cannot feel me
Paralyzed by my fear
Unable to be
Dwelling in a never-ending night
Sheets of never-melting snow
My torn self will only be held tight
Tight if I let go
(Let go)
Creating my own torment
How can I let it end?
Feeding my burning pain
How to undo the chain?
Forging my own woe
How can I, how can I let go?
(Let go)
I cannot run, I cannot hide
From agony within
Am I condemned to abide
Forever herein?
Dwelling in a never-ending night
Sheets of never-melting snow
My torn self will only be held tight
Tight if I let go
(Let go)
(I'm convicted, this is self-inflicted
Must I play the victim in my martyr's show?
My mind's conflicted, am I so addicted
To what keeps me fixated on ...)

Disappear
05:25
|

Have you heard my call?
I know we meet in fall
Where it’s damp and cold
Where stories are told
Wind is moaning on a dark night
I'm out of sight
So I disappear like the mist
Kissed by the warmth of the morning sun
I cannot see distances
I cannot see far
But there's a kindly something
That keeps me safe and warm
(Safe from harm)
I cannot see distances
I cannot see far
But there's a kindly something
That keeps me safe and warm
(Keeps me safe and warm)

The Cruel Sister
07:56
|

There lived a lady by the North Sea shore
Lay the bent to the bonnie broom
Two daughters were the babes she bore
Fa la la la la la la la la la
A knight came riding to the lady's door
He'd travelled far to be their wooer
He courted one with gloves and rings
But loved the other above all things
"Oh sister, will you go with me
To watch the ships sail on the sea?"
She took her sister by the hand
And led her down to the strand
And as they stood on that windy shore
The older threw her sister o'er
And there she floated like a swan
The salt sea bore her body on and on
Two minstrels walked along the strand
And saw the maiden float to land
(Antoi impi hapsiansa,
hienoja hivuksiansa
antoi hasta viisi, kuusi, ...)
They made a harp of her breastbone
Whose sound would melt a heart of stone
(... sekä seitsemän hivusta:
siit' on kielet kantelessa,
ääntimet iki-ilossa.)
They took three locks of her yellow hair
And with them strung the harp so rare
They went into her father's hall
To play the harp before them all
But as they laid it on a stone
The harp began to play alone
The first string sang a doleful sound:
"The bride her younger sister drowned"
The second string, as that they tried
In terror sits the black-haired bride
The third string sang beneath their bow:
"And surely now her tears will flow"
(Saip' on soitto valmihiksi.
Siitä vanha Väinämöinen
istuiksen alakivelle,
paatiselle portahalle.)

The Call
10:07
|

Rise from sleep
Journey deep
On and on
Into the unknown
Hear the call
Risk a fall
You're alone
When you move into the unknown
You're alone
Some will say
"You should never go that way"
Some will say
"Don’t you ever go astray"
Some will say
"Don't you dare to go away"
Some will say
"Stay"
Dare to roam
Far from home
On and on
Into the unknown
Many more
Gone before
Not alone
When you move into the unknown
Never alone
Some will try
to never let you say goodbye
Some will try
to have you explain the reason why
Some will try
never to look you in the eye
Some will try
to cry
You will die
You will faint
You will fail
You will fail
You will faint
You will die
You will ...
Rise from sleep
Journey deep
On and on
Into the unknown
Many more
Gone before
Not alone
When you move into the unknown
Never alone
When you move into the unknown
Never alone
Rise
Unlearn
Unbe
Undo
Unknow
Unknow
Unstay
Pass away
Fall into being
Pass away
Come ...
... Come into being
As you pass away ...

"But soon I shall die, and what I now feel be no longer felt. Soon these
burning miseries will be extinct. I shall ascend my funeral pile triumphantly, and exult in the agony of the torturing flames. The light of that conflagration will fade away; my ashes will be swept into the sea by the winds. My spirit will sleep in peace; or if it thinks, it will not surely think thus. Farewell."
When I am laid
Am laid in Earth
[May] my wrongs Create
No trouble
No trouble in thy Breast
When I am laid
Am laid in Earth
[May] my wrongs Create
No trouble
No trouble in thy Breast
Remember me, remember me
But ah! forget my Fate
Remember me
But ah! forget my Fate
Remember me, remember me
But ah! forget my Fate
Remember me
But ah! forget my Fate

Floating
05:34
|
|||
Smoke is floating off the roofs
Smell of burned coal everywhere
True love was born again
Here and now forever
True love was born again
Here and now forever
Hearts were broken
Over and over again
True love was born again
Here and now forever
True love was born again
Here and now forever
Coal is black, love can be dark
Both of them have a powerful spark
Treated well, both bring warmth
Here and now forever
True love was born again
Here and now forever
(Love was born again
Here, now, forever)

I plead to know
Unseen below
The sheets of snow
If seedlings grow
That we once sowed
When dreams were bold
We'd weave our hopes
To free our souls
Release control
Like streams that flow
In deepest cold
We peel from bones
The fleeting moments
Speak in poetry
That holds the key
Consoles our griefs of old
We weep unspoken tears
Evoke the scenes
Where no one feels alone
As leaves are blown from trees
Through golden fields
To slowly decompose
And feed the loam beneath
The roaming feet
Of those who seek a home
Too deep to know
Too deep to know
Concealed in troves unseen below
A secret stowed too deep to know
Concealed in troves unseen below
(All shall be well, all shall be well)
A secret stowed too deep to know
(All shall be well ...)
All shall be well
And all manner of thing shall be well
(All shall be well)
When the flames are made into a crown
And all manner of thing shall be well
(All shall be well)
When the fire and the rose are one
When the fire and the rose are one
A great good is coming
Coming to thee
A great good is coming
All shall be well
A great good is coming
Coming to thee
A great good is coming
All shall be well
(Feed the loam beneath
The roaming feet of those
Who seek a home
Feed the loam beneath
The roaming feet of those
Who seek a home)
(... Al shal be wel and al shal be wel
And al manner thyng shal be wel ...)
(... A great good is coming, is coming, is coming to thee ...)
A great good is coming
(... coming to thee)
A great good is coming
All shall be well
