Amorphis - The Karelian Isthmus : The Gathering
 

Amorphis



The Karelian Isthmus



The Gathering





As I sense their steel,



As I see the mighty one,



As we all gather once again



the gods of war summon us...



summon us







North wind blows to our valley



men with ships, with swords, with honour







Their horses between flames,



their dogs eating enemy childs,



Our heavenly father, what is this mortality,



do you see my mortal agony







Look, I see the shield up high



this must be the sign from my lord



this can be my death - sentence



what a fine day to die







Taste of blood comes up high



Wind blows hard, our men fall...



one by one



This oath claims me



I must bleed for my generation







Strong is the enemy,



strong is my sword



the hammer is rising



I feel their cold steel







Now when I leave this world



I shall open the mighty oaken gate



and we all shall gather once again
