Could my ruins have come,
my day of trouble have arrived
in these Tuonela cabins
these abodes of the Dead Land?
(Kalevala)
Far beyond the Dark Stream
pagan souls will / Roam those cold lands
wild and free / Wait for the sign; a blood
red sky / They beyond the Dark Stream
we will ride
The path of mortals / So narrow and
brutal / Only bravest of them all
Will find true valour
Decaying souls of men / who trust in
false omens / Will drown in the stream
With their untrue beliefs
He's been drifting / For so long /
Searching for the land / Where
heroes roam
In the Horizon / The last ray of light
A breeze from the other side
Before he dies
Dividing walls of stone / Eternal Heathen
Throne / Beneath the cold starlight
Revealed for the purest sight
Through constant affliction / Towards
alleviation / When a searing star is near
Carry on, you're almost here
Far beyond the Dark Stream we'll meet
again / Across the wilderness and we will
be home / Gather your strength, don't be
afarid / Far beyond the Dark Stream we'll
meet again
The longest journey of them all
Has to be made all alone
A flame in the skyline reaching the stars
Guiding the seeker through the night
