Lyrics

1. erämaajärvi

Kautta erämaajärven
Matkaa kulkuri yksinäinen
Näkee lammella joutsenparven
Vapauttaan itkevän

Kaipuu menneisyyteen
Kiirii ilmassa huutoina kotkien
Ikijärveltä turvatulta
Käy matka vuorten taa

(Translation:)

Via a wilderness lake
Travels a lonely wanderer
In a pond he sees a flock of swans
Crying for their freedom

The longing for the past
Echoes through the air as screams of eagles
From the ever-lake so safe
The journey continues beyond the mountains

2. witchdrums

(Instrumental)

3. this moment is eternity

Day possesses no key here
Where moon sheds the cold twilight
This moment is eternity

Land of beauty
Cold and cruel
Fjeld chants echoing
Reflecting the melancholy

Trust the wind
Trust the fire
Call for the hermit
The hermit of the night

Land of raven
Land of bear
Land of eagle
And wolverine

Dismal are the mirrors of a wolf
