I stand in the middle of the windows
I see darkness above me
sweet darkness
I fly with the wings of a raven
over the cold north
below me an icy mountain shines
that mountain Tuonelan...
Spirits wake up from their sleep
from the shadows of the dark forest
spirits, those mighty beasts
kings of the woods...
I walk a path through the mists
past the ancients of the valleys
that path is eternal
the emptiness of my soul
It takes me to eternal perdition
to the afterlife
there to meet my lord
he takes my soul
I wander across the icy lake
in search the way back
the lake melts behind me
I can't go back
to that world forever
I look far into the horizon
I see the raven coming back
I couldn't make it again
so I'll stay here forever...
I don't feel the cold anymore
freezing winds
death is near me
forever
