My father once told me: “There will be a journey. I am too old already but you my son, you must go. Not for us. Nor for glory. Not even for the lord we serve as serfs we are. But for them. I hear them. They’re calling us. The ancients’ call...” --- Isäni kerran puhui minulle: ”Lähdet matkalle. Minä olen jo liian vanha, mutta sinä, poikani, sinun on mentävä. Ei meidän vuoksemme, saati vuoksi kunnian. Ei edes vuoksi herran, jota palvelemme, kuten maaorjan kuuluu. Lähdet Heitä varten. Minä kuulen Heidät. He kutsuvat meitä. Vanhojen kutsu...”

Exile 05:41
Betrayal. Exiled the oldest son. The younger an emissary of Jealous. Madness. Hate. A shattering mind. Broken the wings of a beloved one. A bleeding wound. Wolves behind your back. --- Petos. Karkoitettu poika vanhin. Nuorempi Kateuden lähettiläs. Hulluus. Viha. Murtuva mieli. Rakkaan siivet katkottu. Vuotava haava. Sudet selän takana. --- RUN! [Verse 1] Hey, fool! I’m sick of you! Don’t fool around under my rule My men just told me you killed my wolf Non excuse is good for you My daughter has a crush on you I don’t wanna see her coming to you So leave this place filthy worthless pig Unless you are ready to DIE! You are ... man in exile 2x [Chorus] Fear of the pain Reign my days The nights are so cold When I’m alone Over the hills, under the moon I ran away from their wolves The howling wind drives me from my roots Over the hills, under the moon I ran away from their wolves They can smell me for my leaking wounds RUN! [Verse II] So now I left my home Cowardice drove me from my love Curse upon those fucking morons! I haven’t done anything wrong My younger brother wants the throne He set up a trap to have my head One day I’ll come back To take what is rightfully mine! [Interlude] You know there are days so bright Days when I feel fine And like now I just wanna dance... [Verse III] Evening my brother Did I scare thou? I am now here To let you go. I will cut you open and I let your guts to rot. I will rape your woman and feed her womb to goat! Children are not yours, they are from next door. Nightmare isn’t over while you bleat “no more!” Die, Die poor fool! I’ve returned to home Fear my wrath rotten puny half-baked Worm! And so my dream goes on... I am ... man in exile!
3.
Fury and Jealous. They gather their own. The first sows the seeds of fear. The second grows the rotten mind. The journey is to begin. Brothers of hate accompany the men. --- Raivo ja Kateus. He kokoavat omiaan. Ensimmäinen kylvää pelon siemenet. Toinen kasvattaa mätänevän mielen. Matka on alkava. Vihan veljet ihmistä saattavat --- [Verse I] Fear from the south came on our lands Leaving those villagers on our hands Like shadows They came to the north to bereave our homes While we were hunting they arrived to our village Raping wives, killing kids, burning supplies And they said This is the wish of their God [Pre-Chorus] Fire, the liar Give me a knife I will cut that man’s throat For cruelties to my child We shall not forget Revenge of the sword You will taste my steel And my wrath You’ll be slaughtered Under the northern sky [Chorus] Fury and Jealous Those brothers of hate One makes you fear And another keen on resentment They ire you into doom Your men will fall Redemption is withhold Our enemies won’t go home [Verse II] Their kings couldn’t watch the wealth of our people Nor beauty of our women or bravery of our children Not theirs! This is the plan of their God! [Pre-Chorus] Fire, the liar Give me a knife I will cut that man’s throat For cruelties to my child We shall not forget Revenge of the sword You will taste my steel And my wrath You’ll be slaughtered Under the moonless sky [Chorus]
4.
Silence. You step through the winter’s door. Snowflakes gleam in the shimmering moonlight. Enchanting beauty. Spirits dance on the frozen lake. On it’s snowy veil. --- Hiljaisuus. Astut sisään talven ovesta. Kuu, hiutaleet kimaltelevat sen kajossa. Lumoava kauneus. Henget tanssivat järven jäällä, sen valkoisella matolla.
5.
The wind grows stronger. The cold tightens it’s grip. Too deep they have wandered. Frigid coldness. Despair. Death. The wind carries the bitter words of wrath. --- Tuuli yltyy. Pakkanen kiristyy. Liian syvälle he ovat eksyneet. Kylmä. Epätoivo. Kuolema. Tuuli kantaa vihan katkeria sanoja. --- Jää! [Verse I] A cold winter night Ominous silence A timeless land Hides all of my power A flaming heart Keeps us moving When the death reaches us We’ll fight! Snowstorm Hides guiding stars Despair locking hearts Men began to fall On the white floor Shadows are dancing Sapphire eyes Touching our lives [Interlude / C-part] We have marched so long with anger and fear We are cold and hungry. There’s no light except moon Relentless howling wind speaks with a language That we don’t understand He promised to us glory with threat of his prison This land is the prison, which leads to death The proud fool warlord sent us here to conquer this ice kingdom But we have found nothing but snow, ice and enchanting silence He will beg a mercy from us if we return I know they are here. They have surrounded us They are spirits of Kamos of eternal night I shout: “Reveal yourselves, I do not fear Death!” You mortal fools. Leave our frozen kingdom How dare you invade this land… Now their minds are obsessed by the cold Their hearts are burned by frost And deathly pale skins are covered by snow eyes are eclipsed Jää!

A funeral. The lost might of a winter past. Guardian of balance. Carefree summer is fading away. Birds are gone. The spirits awaken. New era has begun. The father tree has died. --- Hautajaiset. Vanha voima menneen talven. Tasapainon vartija. Huoleton kesä kapenee ja kapenee. Linnut jo lähtivät. Henget heräävät. Uusi aika on koittanut. Isäpuu on kuollut. --- [Verse I] Wandering through the elders’ lands to the north At first glance ahead a wooden sea Many would be scared to leave their homes for this I cannot go back, woods are calling me [Verse II] Gloomy is the hall under highest trees Prolonged shadows obscure all over the forest Birds don’t sing, maybe perished for an unknown mean? Happiness and life are replaced by wooden grief [Verse III] Glimmering streams, unknown maiden’s heal There I shall come to the heart where all began Water gurgles under roots of the father tree Death has arrived, the lone greatness is dying
7.
Lamentation. Eternal path of sylphs. Disturbed! Desecrated! The awakening has begun. Fear. Chaos. Shadows are taunting men. This is the last warning. --- Suruvirsi. Henkien ikuinen matka. Häiritty! Häpäisty! Herääminen on alkanut. Pelko. Kaaos. Varjot ilkkuvat ihmiselle. Tämä on viimeinen varoitus. --- [Intro] Kauan etsin tuonen teiltä Kauan löytämät määränpäätä Suruni jäätynyt maailman metsiin Korven ikiroudassa Kauan etsin tuonen teiltä Kauan löytämät määränpäätä Suruni jäätynyt maailman metsiin Tuonelan ikiroudassa 2x [Verse I] Hurmet on maassa lumisessa penkassa Kuutamo valaisee nuo tienoot ja pellot Elämä on loukussa kinosten alla Moni tekee kuolemaa alla kuusiston Tunne sinä kurja saasta elämän kävelvän Tuonelaansa Rautani pyyhin nahkoihisi ja käyvän otan taltehini Juoskaa kowaa viel kun voitte, talven vihaa pakoon hoitte Katkera on loppu Sydäntalven häpäisijen! Tervetuloa Pohjolaan, Kaamoksen Valtakuntaan! [Runo I] "Tuoni sulle korjahasi, Manalainen matkoihisi! Vilu on olla viltin alla, Kolkko korjassa eleä. Salot vastahan saneli, Kankahat nuo kajahteli, Kohennihin kuolemahan, Heitin katoamahan!" [Chorus:] Kauan etsin tuonen teiltä Kauan löytämättä määränpäätä Suruni on jäätynyt maailman metsiin Korven ikiroudassa Kauan etsin tuonen teiltä Kauan löytämättä määränpäätä Suruni on jäätynyt maailman metsiin Tuonelan ikiroudassa [Verse II] Huumassa kauheessa rivouksia huutelmassa Vähäiset ne parkuvat sormiensa paleltues Viimassa huutavat henget nuo Pohjolan tuulten Nauraen sotajoukon kuolemalle Houkat kuolevaiset etsivät kultaa Vaan löytävät Pohjolasta routaista multaa Kadotkaa ja paetkaa te ikiajoiksi Tai sielunne kirottu on kalman madoiksi Tervetuloa Pohjolaan, Kaamoksen Valtakuntaan! [Runo II] "Tuoni sulle korjahasi, Manalainen matkoihisi! Oisin kuollut, kurja raukka, Oisin katkennut, katala, Siihen surmansa sukesi, Kuolemansa kohta eli, Löyti turvan Tuonelassa, Armon aaltojen seassa!" [Chorus]

Herätys 05:01
“My endless slumber under the frozen soil is coming to it’s end. It is time. I hear it’s call. It’s time to awaken to war at the gates of time. Arise my Takorauta! Arise my Sulotuuli! Arise my immortal brothers!” The ancients’ warlords have awakened. --- ”Ikuinen uneni alla kylmän maan on päättyvä. On aika, minä kuulen sen kutsuvan. On aika herätä sotaan ajan porteilla. Herää Takorautani! Herää Sulotuuleni! Herätkää kuolemattomat veljeni!” Vanhojen sotaherrat ovat heränneet. --- [Spoken] Ikuinen uneni alla kylmän maan on päättyvä. On aika, minä kuulen sen kutsuvan. On aika herätä sotaan ajan porteilla. Herää Takorautani! Herää Sulotuuleni! Herätkää kuolemattomat veljeni! Routa on sitonut ruumiini ja sieluni on unen huurteinen. Antakaa minulle voimaa kuolevat lapsemme. Polkekaa maata, antakaa isienne kuulla hurmio maanpäällinen. Lyökää taivasta ja tuulta käsillänne, jotta jokainen henki maan päällä kuulee sen kylmän pauhun. Kantakoot huuto uuden herätyksen. Kutsukaa esi-isänne matkalle kylmään pohjoiseen.

Winter’s thunder. Blood-darkened ground. The animals, the sylphs of forests and waters, gnomes and goblins, trolls and giants, the spirits of the dead and other beasts. A battle against humans’ greed and indifference. Fury bursts into flames. A sea of ruin. --- Talven ukkonen. Veren mustaama maa. Eläimet, metsän ja veden haltijat, maahiset ja menninkäiset, peikot ja jätit, vainajain henget ja muut pedot. Taisto vastaan ihmisen ahneutta ja välinpitämättömyyttä. Raivo on roihahtavi liekeiksi. Tuhon mereksi. --- [Verse I] Thunder breaks the silence before war Bringing the light over blood darkened field Disciplined warrior marches to death Everyone knows this will be the end Ravens fly over army flags Cavalry is drumming the ground, men raise their weapons This is pain but no one wants to end the wait When dark clouds open to reveal the army of wrath Our ancestors They see us, And in their cry they bless us... [Chorus] Fight with your swords, find courage against hordes of enemies They strike with their fear Parrying all those blades is like dance on Dryads Lake We shall go to battle and release our furious rage [Verse II] The stage of death slays hopes of many And no one sees how time flies by No one cares if a brother dies, the rain has begun Claws of wind wipe creatures upon the field Revealing a sight where corpses lie near The flames of the burning sun releases our souls When dark clouds open to reveal the army of wrath Our ancestors They see us, And in their cry they bless us... [Chorus] [C-part] Men! The enemy is here. They are burning our homes. They are killing our children! Show them no mercy! Kill them all! Attack! [Chorus]
10.
A hunted animal. Eyes blurred by the stampede. Run! Hide! Heart is pounding. Legs are burning. A brother falls. I wet myself. I won’t look back. --- Takaa-ajettu eläin. Pakokauhun sumentamat silmät. Juokse! Piiloudu! Sydän hakkaa. Jalkoja polttaa. Veli kaatuu. Lasken alleni. En katso taakseni. --- [Verse I] ”How beautiful is sky” He said to me and died Run and make your way far away Hide if only you know you're safe Enemy is marching behind your backs Just take a breath to lose your head They came from nowhere, appeared from dark Shadows so fast they froze our hearts Bloodlust in blue eyes glowing in the dark Dryads of nature are hunting us down [Chorus] Heart is pounding, legs are burning Intense stampede, cold sweat trickling Animal knows when it is hunted Callous arm is brushing your shoulder Run! Hide! Fear! Enemy is on their way You see no dawn so Run! Hide! Fear! Leave exhausted one He slows you down so Run! [Verse II] Then I fell down And began to cry aloud Run and make your way far away Hide if only you know you're safe Enemy is marching behind your backs Just take a breath to lose your head Screams of pain are haunting around woods Watch your feet, don't stumble over corpse You may wet yourself but you can't turn back Fear of dying keeps us on track [Chorus] You run! You hide! You fear! Run until your legs will break down! [Chorus] You run! You hide! You fear! Run until your legs will break down!

They are everywhere. They see everything. Frost has settled among us. The time of men has come to an end. We roam. We fall. All must answer when the ruler of Halla demands the words of Vala. Kneel before the northern throne. Value the nature and you shall live. --- He ovat kaikkialla. He näkevät kaiken. Pakkanen on asettunut keskuuteemme. Ihmisen aika on ohi. Vaellamme. Kaadumme. Jokaisen on vastattava Hallan herran kysyessä Valan sanoja. Polvistu edessä Pohjolan tuolin. Vaali luontoa ja saat elää. --- World is vast or so I was told Now going to an adventure for my Lord Shackles are my shadow, none ask from serf Packing my clothes and a loaf of bread Shades are lurking on the ground around us Sylphs take men to the falling dusk We are out of food and our toes are benumbed I am in the twilight and my guts are gone Seize the north, you brought the hordes To claim our land and our homes You drain our lakes, cut our forests Forts will rise and reach to the skies The spirits are awake now, scream for your lives The cry of the dryads fill the trees, they’re alive Men behind the walls don’t have a place to hide Our many eyes see your only lives What is this place? Then I gazed upon the creature with highest awe When you are alone Wind whispers the call ”Kuule jo lapsonen huutomme tää Seuraa jo ääntämme lämpimään” [Pre-Chorus] Sky and ground and fire and snow Human shall bow to the northern throne Oath is spelt in the coldest home Take these words or thou shalt find your death [Chorus] We are the lord of realms unwelcome Feel the glacial wind you servant Kneel before you enter our domain Or you pay your life to the warden Land is free for those who spell the Oath of ancient king who raised the Wind to wrap our laws of wailing In this new kingdom made of ice [Verse II] Ice has settled to the well and among us Frost has killed most aged and young ones Troops are in chaos and my Lord’s getting mad I am still alive but my edge has a crack And now our time Will soon fade away This past life of mine Is reversed, dream I chased When you are alone Wind whispers the call ”Kuule jo lapsonen huutomme tää Seuraa jo ääntämme lämpimään” [Pre-Chorus] Sky and ground and fire and snow Human shall bow to the northern throne Oath is spelt in the coldest home Take these words or thou shalt find your death [Chorus] We are the lord of realms unwelcome Feel the glacial wind you servant Kneel before you enter our domain Or you pay your life to the warden Land is free for those who spell the Oath of ancient king who raised the Wind to wrap our laws of wailing In this new kingdom made of ice [Verse III, Part I] Brothers! Here me out! Do we have to die out here? I wanna live! So what you say? What say you! The night fell dark, the cold came out The furious rage purged among us Slash and cut, strike and block Troops fall down, they see no dawn I run and run, run run run Ruler of Halla caught my heart He spoke some words, I understood none I open my eyes and answered this one [Verse III, Part II] Sky and ground and fire and snow Human shall bow to the northern throne Oath is spelt in the coldest home Take these words or thou shalt find your death Now I am free! Illusion is broken, I’ve been awakened It was always there in my mind! Value the nature and you shall live In this our new kingdom made of ice! [Chorus] We are the lord of realms unwelcome Feel the glacial wind you servant Kneel before you enter our domain Or you pay your life to the warden Land is free for those who spell the Oath of ancient king who raised the Wind to wrap our laws of wailing In this new kingdom made of ice

I Heard Them 00:40
I was lost -Is anyone there! I was cold -Somebody help me! I was scared -Anyone.. I didn’t see anything -I can’t see anything.. I was praying -Please God help me.. I thought I was gonna die And in the end... I was begging... -Please... spare me So scared But then I heard ...them
13.
Vala 04:01
Sky and ground and fire and snow. Human shall bow to the northern throne. Oath is spelt in the coldest home. Take these words or thou shalt find your death. --- Taivas ja Maa ja Tuli ja Lumi. Ihminen taipui ees Pohjolan tuolin. Valan he vannoivat kylmässä kodin. Sanat nuo otti, tai Tuonen nyt koit.
