Ensiferum Iron 1. Ferrum Aeternum [Instrumental] 2. Iron The silence breaks the ground A shadow is riding the horizon An arcane man arrives to town Remoresless and condemned Tasted the snake's poison Broken every bone Felt a thousand gunshot wounds But there's nothing that whiskey can't cure Ride Through the crossfire Ride Through the flames, like a predator in the night The eagles fly into eternal sunset The heroes die, dying for their pride Awoken to heavy galloping I heard the blasting whiplash Eyes are filled with lust to kill Beware, he's crying out your name Now the time has come When the Iron tears the heart And the trumpets will ring loudly As the stars are painted with blood Blazing fire under the moon Burning taste of lead We'll ride forever Cause' the Iron is stronger than death 3. Sword Chant [Grim man's tale:] [I:] A flaming blade of the dark shadows struck the lands With furious lightning it fell into the hands of man And the ancient fire came down Down from the sky into the ground The clouds moved aside as the sword was cast from the sky Burnt by a mark of fire, who shall make this find And the grey clouds were watching down, down from the sky into the ground ...As the shapes of light were drowned [II:] Courage's started crowling from the ashes and smoke And the night was cursed and drifting within the winds so cold And the knights from the sea were marching down To the deep caverns down, down where the old spells are found The war was growing in the old lands and towns From the mountains war drums pounded with a deafening sound They'll seek the Sword forevermore, until in battle they'll fall ...Now, hear the battle's call Who dares to play with death Who smells the dragon's breath No grief for the fallen ones The search for the sword has begun [Carved in stone:] Great as the mountains and seas Grim as the earth and old trees Made from the glimmer of golden lakes Chained with fire that never fades Rocks and stones they carve and mould When the rivers run fierce and cold May this chant haunt your past For this Sword is yours at last Raise the arms the battle is near Through the mud and waters clear The blood is coloring the lands again A sign of victory the wind will send 4. Mourning Heart (Interlude) [Instrumental] 5. Tale Of Revenge He bears a tale so gloom and tragic never to be known Into darkness now fallen, into hatred now grown Like stillborn child drifting in the silent seas Of blood, crushing all his dreams No castle walls can hold the fury in his eyes Devotion for death, now controls his life No gold or silver can bring him consolation Only one thing is left inside him, the desire of revenge One light so cold and pale, sleeping quietly all alone One life so old and gray, wandering away from home Parted with a horrid cry, snow falls on his grief United by the sword of wicked screams What deeds he has done to hear those deadful sounds In the ruins of memories he wanders, forever bound Forever bound to death! Wait for me in th mountains, haunt for me in the winds Wait for me in the land where nothing lives Until the day I have found revenge, I will feed my sword Until my heart is cold, every breath of mine is yours 6. Lost In Despair I was lost, on my own And I couldn't bear the thought of my life I was gone, caught in the torturing memories And they burned like fire Water can never heal such pain Can't you believe Nothing is real Can't you see I cannot feel Take me away Bury me in the sand Cause after all these years I am still the same A sad and bitter man Crush my hope, grow my hate There's no home for me Nothing to give, nothing to say So tell me it's a dream 7. Slayer Of Light I have come to unfold your mind In my veins runs the poison wild In the streams of mountains I flow I have opened the doors for unleashed and endless hate It will burn like the raging green flames Inside a man dwell secrets so cold Through the dreadful storms, across the frozen oceans I have come from the dark lands with sorrow in my hands The firewind rages in the sky And my luminous sword hungers for more I will leave no one alive For I am the Slayer of Light I... I will break your will I... I will crush your faith I... I will slay your dreams I will reclaim the stars and I will tear your precious world apart I will tear it apart I will pull everything with me under the surface And all the screams will fade into my dreams Fall now! Dying light! I will burn away the ground beneath your feet And all will be vanished in the darkness Dying light! Fall now! And let the night arrive 8. Into Battle We left our homes behind, now we're following the wolves' trail Through the deepest forests, beneath the stars we ride I can see the moon glowing red like the blood of warriors There's a prophecy, that tonight many men will die The fire will burn forever in our passionate hearts Our destinies are calling us now We are ready to take their lives Into battle we ride with Gods by our side We are strong and not afraid to die We have an urge to kill and our lust for blood has to be fulfilled WE'LL FIGHT TILL THE END! And send our enemies straight to Hell! Prominent leaders, cast your swords in the wind as a sign of war Men, prepare for death, 'cause we might never return Blood will spill and heads will fall As the swords sparkle, lights the night The ground rumbles as we attack In the throes of rage, we will fight The lightning's flash, the thunder's roar Will petrify the weak We'll show no mercy, we'll kill them all! We are sworn in the name of steel 9. Lai Lai Hei [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 in the North, far far away Home for the wandering man Dreaming fields with skies so pale Calm is the glorious land Flames will send the sign to the sky That we have come to feast tonight The lakes are echoing with our song Shadows are dancing on the forrest wall Shadows are dancing on the forrest wall! Enchantment of the fire and moon Lost in the whispering night The raven's magic enthralls the woods Crawling in the sweet starlight We have gathered in this distant land Full of wisdom, secrets and tales The morning will never rise again Roaming wolves are howling for the dead Roaming wolves are howling for the dead! Oh yea! LAI LAI HEI! 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 watched a falling star, at the edge of the world Now the maiden's beautiful face is covered in barren earth Everyone has to look into the eyes of the thruth, For time is victorious, but this land will always stay true LAI LAI HEI! 10. Tears 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 it's 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 golden bright sun I feel no sorrow in the heart of mine For the tears of life are now gone Winds are whispering in the sacred forest Dancing and singing with the red autumn leaves These memories I could never forget With rising sun I shall be here with thee
