Silent Waters

Silent waters

Amorphis

A day’s light told me
Of my son’s fate
The sun showed the way
Grim and severe

Pulled under the raging
Waters, my child
Sank in the drowning
Currents, my son, my son, my son…

My strenght is not enough
My powers failed me
I need the heavens help
I ask for thunder’s force

I plead for you, oh, lightning
Forge an iron tool
A magic rake for dragging
A river for my son, my son, my son…

God of fire, bring your light
Forger of sun, help me now
Guardian of the shore will sleep
In your warmth

Lull the folk of cold water
Banish the serpents of the dark
To the river let me go
And fetch my son away

A rake made of iron
From the Gods of skies
The spirit of bright day
Sent me the sun

Cold troops of Tuoni
Can not stand in my way
Untouched I shall walk
By the river of the night

God of fire, bring your light
Forger of sun, help me now
Guardian of the shore will sleep
In your warmth

Lull the folk of cold water
Banish the serpents of the dark
To the river let me go
And fetch my son away

My child, my son…
My child, my son…
My child, my son…
My child, my son…
