KIVIMETSÄN DRUIDI LYRICS

1. Lament For The Fallen

[Instrumental]

2. Aesis Lilim

Stone-white fortress of flowers of steel
ancient home it is for strangest of kin:
Silent warriors Lilim of name,
Fierce with weapons, solemn are in their faith.

All-Mother, the eldest, the wise,
Daughters, quick of hand, with steel in their eyes
Sweet Grand-daughters, to be taught the Code
Grand-Sons, in eight-of-years must go on their own

Judge not
Speak not, lest for true reason

Lie not
Deceive not
May truth alone leave your lips

Be wise
Be strong
Respect all, trust but Self

Each one
to Her own
Always keep your own counsel

Stone-white fortress of flowers of steel
ancient home is for strangest of kin:
Aesis Lilim, her path long and true
fought beside the heroes far-known and pure.

Remembering the words of All-Mother that day
when she was to be a Lily at last
"Tell us now what is to be your name
May you hold our Code pure-hearted and fast"

And always, always allow each soul to walk its own path

She is sorry for those she hurt
She regrets the ones she killed.
She is tired of being strong,
She is tired of all the fighting

Given the choice
She would not undo what She did
She would not undo what She is...
But the blade had two edges:
the one that hurt
for the one that did the hurting

Her body is broken
her spirit yearns to rest.
She is Aesis Lilim
and she is coming home.

Stone-white fortress of flowers of steel
ancient home is for strangest of kin:
Aesis Lilim, her path and hard
fought and fell in nameless battle so far.

No before me I see my journey's end
No before me lies the Reckoning Day
Aesis Lilim, this is my name
At long last I will come home to remain.

3. Seawitch And The Sorcerer

In maelstrom magical
in winds unnatural
through pounding waves
little fighting ship goes flying

fury fills the sky with flame
strange currents, sailor-bane:
Beware! for thou hast angered a foe terrifying.

Grim-eyed, they face then: odds are not even-
Sea-Witch, come here and tame the raging oceans!
this craft of night skies, woman-secrets changing tides-
better have some use or the sea will swallow all of us.

"These winds I've raised shall throw you under,
None shall pass, there's no safe harbour.
This is the price of angering me,
you and yours shall never safe be."

"Oh, Who drifts on the moody waters, who takes to the lady sea..."
Oh, Who thinks himself worthy, a hero, justified to bring misery..."

Heed to this...
"Take this to heart and be warned:
behold the rules of eldest battle."
...Beware for your soul...
"Two times magick, three times loss,
for every spell bares caster's essence--"
...for I feel the shape of you...
In your spell your soul is open,
power equals pure surrender
...Who is this little creature?
In this spell he tastes your deepest,
in these winds the shape of your soul.

behind every flying wave, between every drop of rain
little witch now reaches knitting her web of magic.
In malestrom magical, in winds unnatural
they see- a path of calm and silence opens.

None asked, none answered: no questions, onward!
Once more our path is clear for the quest of justice.
Onward with defiance, on, raise your spirits,
fear not, for we have Moon-magicks on our side.

Cause so great, your cause so holy-
stay and suffer your quest is folly.
Name me monster, name me tyrant-
you know nothing, you bright-eyed defiant!

High above floating in full abandon,
hiding from the Sorcerer's eye.
Hardly seen, hardly even sought?
in silent Night she scatters her mind.

And her eyes widen
and her soul is taken with awe.
In the winds she
suddenly hears the most familiar call:

"Oh my...
...he has my name"

4. The Visitor

"Brother, oh brother! I saw such strangeness,
a man, a creature of unearthly kindness.
Of such stories he told, such places,
fates and fights and the future's dangers.."

My sister-where ever have you been
why the fever, what claim you have seen?
This is senseless, a rambling daydream,
End the riddles, keep in mind what Elders tell us!

Strange creatures fly between the world,
neither ghosts, nor mortal spirits
kind or malicious, we do not know.
Maybe this is what you witnessed.

But the hour seems unreal
He asked me to leave, he asked me to follow
with him to other fields beyond...
beyond the ones I ever will know

Stronger in these dull fields
would surely not go unnoticed.
Poor girl, you must have dreamed him
in your lonely moments.
Had you left with him, had you followed,
where would we have found you?
Fallen dead at the end...
...but with a smile on your face?

Strange creatures fly between the worlds,
neither ghosts, nor mortal spirits
kind or malicious, we do not know.
I know what I have witnessed!

But the hour seems unreal
He asked me to leave, and I will follow
with him to other fields beyond...
beyond the ones I ever will know

Come full moon, I shall leave and follow
blessed or cursed by him, true or shallow
Seeker of truth, may your courage lead me!
Bringer of light, wait for me, you light I shall see...

Cry not for me for I must go...

5. Manalan Vartija

Tervetuloa, voiko kaupunkimme teit' auttaa?
Kauppiasta etsittekö, seppää, kenties seuraa?
Keksinnöt maailman kuulut teille tarjolla!
Maanalan aarteet, kartat, kojeet, saatavilla.

Tuonelan tuulet menneitä kaikuja kantaa
Manalan majoilta kaukaisten taistojen aaveet huutaa

Portit Manalan? Kuinka vois ne teitä kiinnostaa?
Niit' ei kukaan halua nähdä ennen aikojaan.
Velhoin työtä Moinen, nuo olmit kirjoineen,
loitsuineen, heidän pelkään päästänsä seonneen.

Tuonelan tuulet menneitä kaikuja kantaa
Manalan majoilta kaukaisten taistojen aaveet huutaa
Menneen rakkauden muistot pimeästä nousee
Tuonelan varjoissa odottavat hylätyt, kuolleet
Pimeästä nousee...

Päätös pysyy? Kuolon haluatte haastaa siis?
Selän kääntää, tän puoleisest' elämästä viis?
Varoitin, kas tuoni pitää ken käy sinne,
siin urheus teit' ei auta, saamanne pitää:

olkoon siis niin!

6. Tuoppein'nostelulaulu

Hail to the King,
Hail to the Queen
Hail to the House, maidens and squires.
One for the Sun,
One for the Moon,
One for every star in the sky!

Drink for the living,
Drink for the dead
Drink fro the Keepers of Otherworld.
Hail to the Elven
Hail to the dwarfs:
Hail to the goblins ‒ hail to the orcs!

Drink for the fire,
Drink for the cold:
Drink for the Winter's Frost Father old.
Drink for Spring,
(let's) drink for Her, for sweet
Thighs of Eostre and Sun's return.

Hail to my left foot,
Hail to your right.
Hail to the Mighty One in the Middle.
Drink for the ladies ‒
Ah! indeed...
Also (one) to some very special sheep.

Toinen mulle kaatakaa, malja meille nostakaa,
Tänä yönä pimeys meitä väistää!
Hullun lailla tanssikaa, lailla hullun naurakaa,
Huomispäivä jos ees nousee, ken voi titää!

Lailla juopuneiden jumalten, viinin hengen, humalten,
Vaaraa, pimeyttä hurmio uhmaa.
Kuolema voi odottaa, unhdus ‒ ket' kiinnostaa?
On lyhyt elontie, siis pitäkäämme hauskaa!

One for the Fallen, one for the Pure
One for the Wicked and one for the True.
Drink to the virgins!
Drink to the whores,
(drink) to all blessed mothers and all their chores.

One for you, Sire!
One for me own,
One for you all and one for...
Drink for the ceiling,
Drink for the floor,
(for) all between and much much more!

7. Chant Of The Winged One

Eternal fire inside me,
restless darkness shadowing my heart.
Claws of thousand demons,
my insides ripper apart.

I am soon to release the pain,
no sanity left to refrain the desire.
Endless whispers of the winged one,
I can't deny my lust to feed.

Free to do by their will,
Still trapped behind the mask of deceiver
in their mindless thirst for chaos.
No one can see the truth,
though would we even care?
We are to diminish 'til we are none.

The scent of your sweet flesh and blood,
ore than enough to awake the thirst.
Seek shelter and you better hide good,
there is no turning back, no hope for you.

Free to do by their will,
Still trapped behind the mask of deceiver
in their mindless thirst for chaos.
No one can see the truth,
though would we even care?
We are to diminish.

The world as you know it will be no more...
The age of the winged one shall begin.

One human, now something much more,
blessed with power and life immortal.
Kneel before me and you shall see,
your death more quick and less painful.

Free to do as they are told
still trapped in the cage of the deceiver.
In his mindless thirst for chaos.
Yes they can see the truth,
But there's little they can do.
They are to obey until they are none.

8. Of Betrayal

Beyond the gates of no return,
behind the curtains that will rise no more.
Lie the fields of no mortal,
the land covered by mist and darkness.

There's no twilight to show the path for the lost one,
no stars to guide his way.
This is my path, this is where I belong,
here shall I roam forevermore.

The hand that led me here,
was none else's but the one I trusted.
That trust is no more, nor it matters,
Your betrayal I will return by the hardest.

The wounds already healed, as f they never existed,
but too deep are the cuts of the blade of your betrayal.
Upon the ones you've ever known I'll lay my curse
and by the death of them I'll gain, gain my revenge.

I will gain my revenge,
Gain my revenge,
I will gain my revenge,
My revenge.

Beyond the gates of no return,
behind the curtains that will rise no more.
Lie the fields of no mortal,
the lands covered by mist and darkness.

There's no twilight to show the path for them,
no stars to guide their way.
This is now their domain (our domain),
the lands they will roam forevermore.

Under these clouds that will not fade,
in this eternal cold and silence,
beyond the gates of eternity I proudly wander
among all the ones you've ever cared for.

The wounds already healed, as if they never existed,
But too deep are the cuts of the blade of your betrayal.
Upon the ones you've ever known I'll lay my curse
and by the death of your loved ones I'll gain my...
Upon the ones you've ever known I'll lay my curse
and by the death of them I'll gain my revenge.

9. Desolation: White Wolf

Flight of the ravens, scent of the snow,
I wish, my brother I could bring to you.
You never spoke great words of peace,
you were the thing in your silent kindness.

For all those who would hurt you: I wish I could have taken this blow for you.
For all those who hurt you: I wish it had been my blood instead of you.

Now must I leave you here in this bitter silent desolation?
Into this world of the hollow winds, into this gray (and) leafless winter day.

Craving for the blood that shed yours, we leave you, abandon you,
sweet brother, sleep in this land of mist and snow.

As if never there - the heat of battle and the agony of our loss.
Gray skies, hollow winds, wet snow covers our struggles, triumphs - gentle, pitiless.

Let the tide turn, let oceans shift.
Wolf-mother, rise avenge my love.
Let the new era of vengeance begin.
My angel is fallen, my kindness is lost:

I tell you, the age of love is over,
I tell, your crime shall find you:
I tell you - White Wolf shall drink your blood on the grave of her love.
