1. Hate Sender 6:12
Riding down the mountain of my own emotion,
Everything feels so unreal...
All my thoughts destructive isolation active,
Amounts of anguish unseen...
Hate like a walls around me.
May they ever fall down... fall down...
I see all the lies brought to my eyes,
My emotions die more everyday.
Sympathy dies, I can't relate to their lives,
Easiest way is to feel pure hate...
Pure hate...
Suffocated cries in self-pity they hide,
Hate Sender I've been for so long.
Hate... serves my purpose...
Hate... inside my mind...
Unreal state of my being...
Ideal way to reveal...
Thoughts in my mind...
This hate inside...
All this hate inside me has grown greater than me,
I have lost my self-control...
Anguish turned to hatred, anxiously I wait death,
Against all I am in war...
I felt the touch of divine.
My world came falling down... falling down...
I drown in the lies, bitter tears in my eyes,
My emotions all are dead and gone.
Salvation seen in what Christ meant to me,
I've walked over field of pure hate...
Pure hate...
Happiness I seek, only love could bring,
Hate Sender I've been far too long...
Hate... serves my purpose...
Hate... inside my mind...
2. The Prophet
Through the darkest night I walk without fear.
Soul wrapped in light, I am coming near.
Watching all the prophesies to become true.
I'm the pilgrim behind centuries and my message is breaking through...
My message is breaking through...
Judgement I have seen and soon it is here.
All the places where I've been, my words you will hear.
I tear down your fence guarded by your mind.
The truth I bring to you as fear grows in your inside...
Death in its grandeur, reflection of doom.
Makes us surrender our bodies and souls.
From my belief I've find the truth.
Christ in my life now, I have lost my fear...
I will now walk through the public opinion.
I'm gonna talk about the salvation.
From the shadows I rise and see your pain.
Your life in the lies is worth of all the prays.
Worth of all the prays...
3. Until The Day I Die
Years have passed before me,
Changing my view of reality.
In my days I always knew,
My weak belief I have for you...
I lived for hate so many years,
Anguish rains of my tears,
Tears cutting me deeper than knife,
As my fear grows stronger than my life...
I lived for greed, my conscience seared.
The love I've seized burning my fear.
Fear I had in me I now defy.
I will believe until the day I die...
My life in lies ended and set me free,
And came the time to open my eyes and see,
See what it is the reason of my life.
I will believe until the day I die...
4. Reflections Of Doom
I dream... I'm in the forest at winter night...
I see... in the ground a lonely grave...
Deceased... body lying in the dark...
It's me...
I wake up at the night in freezing cold.
In my eyes a vision from the dream...
I walk around full of fear...
I fall deep into my mind, into echoing darkness inside.
I balance on narrow string between reason and insanity.
What should I believe? Could this be a prophecy?
My sense still falling away, I close my eyes and start to pray...
Reflection of doom... blood-red face of the moon... reflection of doom
Shadows fade away as a bright light fills my mind... inside...
Dawn of new winter-day releases me from my pain... I'm saved...
The power within me, immortal soul that won't die... I'll survive
Belief grows in me, Jesus Christ I have seen... He is real...
Fire burns in me with high flames.
Thoughts of death no longer frighten me.
I walk around without fear...
I tried to find the reason from life, some kind of peace of mind.
Now I tear down the lies that have covered my whole life.
Watch me now believe. Consider this as a prophecy.
I am my own lord, but up there is the one I pray...
Reflection of doom... blood-red face of the moon... reflection of doom
5. I Am Me 5:15
It's easier to act than be yourself...
We're all individuals, will we stay that way?
See... feel... inside of me... deep
Countless times I have heard it, hide yourself and think naive...
Do not let them take you down, soul inside you is your own...
Falling into the arms of self-pity,
Denying yourself won't solve anything.
From my belief I have find strength to live.
I do how I feel and behold: I am me...
We are all masters of life, every single one of us...
Christ as my paragon I am lord of my life...
See... feel... inside of me... deep
Be brave and don't hold back, in grave it's too late for that.
Be yourself, don't compromise, this world ain't black or white.
Falling into the arms of self-pity,
Denying yourself won't solve anything.
From my belief I have find strength to live.
I do how I feel and behold: I am me...
6. Realm Of Hatred 5:57
I invite you for a ride... journey into my mind...
The realm that you shall find... winter cold hatred inside...
Welcome to my realm of hatred.
Like icy bone fingers clawing my mind,
The vague darkness growing inside,
The madness I've been fighting is now taking over,
My life in vale of hatred become too obscure.
No escaping... hate within... here to stay...
In my realm of hatred...
Anguish grows in me... never-ending sorrow I see...
My realm, my chance to be free... winter-frost eases my grief...
Clouds filter moonlight reflection from snow.
Beauty of nature gives me new hope.
It's so much easier to hate than feel love,
And I've seen that love is the only way out of hate.
Farewell... from my hell... farewell...
From my realm of hatred...
Divine Wintertime / Through The Woods, Towards The Dawn (split, 1999, Little Rose Productions) (CD)
1. Immortal Souls - Snow Soul 4:09
As I walk through the masses of snow at this frostbitten winter night,
Sighing forest at the moon flow sends me a taste of nature's might.
Ahead mourns the eye of the snowstorm,
Divine appearance of the winter wind.
Snow, piles upon my soul, like grace from above, messenger of hope...
My heart beats in sync with the nature.
I wait for the coldest winter.
I am the Snow Soul...
I head my walk to the storm's eye more than complete to praise His name.
Nature's mourning set my pulse to rise as I follow steps of His angel's way.
Ahead Kingdom of God in its grandeur,
Awaiting my soul to enter its halls.
Snow, piles upon my soul, like grace from above, messenger of hope...
My heart beats in sync with the nature.
I wait for the coldest winter.
I am the Snow Soul...
Let it snow... upon my soul...
I see my troubles come and go.
Your given hope... grace from above...
My belief keeps strengthening...
2. Immortal Souls - Divine Wintertime 3:43
I spread my mind's wings and arise towards the sky.
I fulfill all my dreams and to the essence of winter I fly...
To finest of weathers my wings are taking me.
Caress of moon at frozen fields,
Snowflakes floating down, forest of snowbound,
Stars give everything a shine.
Now it's time to rest my mind at this Divine Wintertime.
It's time to rest your mind at this Divine Wintertime.
Winter...
Into the nature's eyes I stare now and feel 'em staring back.
This unity sets me free.
My quest for divinity has lead me here and here I'll stay,
Loving embrace of God.
Now it's time to rest my mind at this Divine Wintertime.
It's time to rest your mind at this Divine Wintertime.
Winter... divine... wintertime...
Divine... wintertime...
3. Immortal Souls - Mourning Mist 3:38
Afraid to open my eyes,
Horror of facing the day.
Mist of the morning is fading,
While cancer burn in my bones,
Horror of facing the pain.
Years ago I had plans,
What to do with my life.
But now it all is so futile.
Oh... again my fears come true,
And painkillers are out of effect,
To the pain I must reconcile.
The color of my desperation,
If I wouldn't be heading to Christ,
Would even be darker than now.
My dream is to wake one morning,
Without these tears of pain.
Oh... why can't I just die?
The color of my desperation,
If I wouldn't be heading to Christ,
Would even be darker than now.
My dream is to wake one morning,
Without these tears of pain.
Oh... why can't I just die?
4. Immortal Souls - Christ Mass 3:23
Through this silent night I've been watching the sky.
I've been following the brightest star with my eyes...
Saviour is born... Rejoice!
I thought this was another night ruled by penetrating darkness,
But the star I saw was a sign of something else.
The star had stopped above this place.
Following it here I found Him.
Holy night of the Saviour's birth, little child in manger.
We respect the spirit of Christmas as we celebrate the Christ Mass...
There He was; a little child, yet glowing with divinity,
I was allowed to kneel before and to worship Him,
With my mind and in my heart,
I could feel He is the Lord.
This was a night of joy but as well a night of grief.
Herod gave an order to kill 'cause his fear for this King...
Saviour is born... Rejoice!
"For my eyes have seen Your salvation which You have prepared,
In the sight of the all people, a light for revelation,
To the Gentiles and for Glory,
To Your people Israel."
-Luke 2:30-32
Holy night of the Saviour's birth, little child in manger.
We respect the spirit of Christmas as we celebrate the Christ Mass...
Christ Mass...
The Cleansing (EP, October 20, 2000, Little Rose Productions) (CD)
1. The Cleansing 4:07
Out from the darkened night
Into the burning hot cleansing stream
My weak endeavour to stay clean
From all the filth that I've gladly taken in
Failed escape from reality
My soul lies unwanted with a stain of sin
I feel myself impure
I need the cleansing
Craving for more of your love
I feel myself unclean
I need the cleansing
Oh, wash me clean from these stains in me
Out from the hot burning steam
Into the frozen cold granular snow
The filth I've seen on my way
Hasn't stain me like the evil from within
Evil deeds and words I say
I've soiled my soul with a stain of sin
I feel myself impure
I need the cleansing
Craving for more of your love
I feel myself unclean
I need the cleansing
Oh, wash me clean from these stains in me
I feel myself impure
I need the cleansing
Craving for more of your love
I feel myself unclean
I need your blessing
Only you can clean these stains in me
2. Until 4:12
Years have passed before me
Changing my view to things I see
See my inner world on collide
With another that I left outside
I lived for hate so many years
I tried to hide from pain and tears
Tears I wept all for vain
In world of grief I was until
Until I tasted blood of His vine
Until, until...
I lived for greed, conscience seared
But all I possessed was only fear
Fear grew in a shapes of gray
In world of grief I was until
Until I tasted blood of His vine
Until, until...
Until I tasted blood of His vine
Until, until...
3. The Prophet 4:31
Candle casts a growing shadow
On the carved wooden wall
I look the dark behind the window
And write the vision that I saw
In my eyes the revelation
Scene of end with glance of grace
Mankind crying for salvation
They are worth of all the prayers
Worth of all the prayers
Through the gloomy darkened night
I wandered without fear
My soul wrapped in shining light
As His voice I could hear
Like commands given in prayer
"Write, therefore what you have seen
What is now and what will be later"
The day of reckoning is near
The burden that I bear
Secrets of the prophecy
Divine messenger
Reflector of doom
Judgement's call I have heard
In the halls of secrecy
And its name I have shared
The knowledge of my prophecy
For all those who has wisdom
To interpret what I say
We are waiting for the Kingdom
And for their souls we must pray
The burden that I bear
Secrets of the prophecy
Divine messenger
Reflector of doom
4. Icebound 4:41
I open my eyes just to close 'em again
From the horrors that I see before me
On the edge of depth I stand and stare down below
At something never meant for a man to behold
I stand upon the mountainside of my mind
And stare the walls inside - I'm icebound
Harsh cold walls of ice in my mind
Lock me deep inside - I'm icebound
Falling from the edge of depth
Deep into a tragedy
Thrown into obscurity
I opened my eyes again to look into the eyes of end
But there was nothing for my eyes to see
Deep inside I had a new belief and took another view into
My soul that used to be icebound
Falling from the edge of depth
Deep into a tragedy
Thrown in front of divinity
Thought I even heard the angels sing
With eyes open wide I now stare into depth
As all my demons are gone for a while
And I still can hear the echoes of the angels sining
What I thought a tragedy became essence of my life
I stand upon the mountainside of my mind
And witness the meltdown - of icebound
Cold walls of ice fall down in my mind
Freeing me from inside - of icebound
Standing on the edge of depth
Staring into divinity
I threw away my vanity
Under The Northern Sky (album, January 2001, Little Rose Productions) (CD)
1. Frostmind 3:33
Cold January morning at the northern land
White frost embraces the dawn
Cold nature awaking under the veil of snow
With the first beams of light
Cold air not warning despite the light
As my breath vapors
Frozen northern air - Norten frozen nature
Ice is all that remains of the flowing streams
Of bright and pure water
Ice covers the hills like a monument
For the honor of the frost
Frostbite - on my skin the feel of winter - Frostmind
Frostmind - deep inside the cold lovebite - Frostbite
Crystal-like shine on these towers of ice
Too bright for my eyes...
Light has taken my sight, made me snowblind
As the vision I saw at the north
Light formed into a shape and offered a hand
To guide my blind eyes
Frostbite - on my skin the feel of winter - Frostmind
Frostmind - deep inside the cold lovebite - Frostbite
2. The Cleansing 4:05
Out from the darkened night,
Into the burning hot cleansing steam...
My weak endeavour to stay clean;
From all the filth that I've gladly take in.
Failed escape from reality;
My soul lies unwanted with a stain of sin...
I feel myself impure;
I need the cleansing;
Craving for more of your love...
I feel myself unclean;
I need the cleansing;
Oh, wash me clean from these stains in me...
Out from the hot burning steam,
Into the frozen cold granular snow...
The filth I've seen on my way;
Hasn't stain me like the evil from within.
Evil deeds and words I say;
I've soiled my soul with a stain of sin...
I feel myself impure;
I need the cleansing;
Craving for more of your love...
I feel myself unclean;
I need your blessing;
Only you can clean these stains in me...
3. The Cold Northwind 3:35
As a stranger I wandered to this place
I was self-confident but afraid
Crimes shadowed my way
I flee from long arm of law
I used to run but now I crawl
My knife is still colored by blood
Cold breathing Northwind shattering
As I say a silent prayer for my soul
My soul in shadows that rise upon my crimes
Ice and snow whirl shredding my skin
By fierce blow of ice-cold Northwind
The cold Northwind
Loneliness at the hills of north
While wind sweeps like God's wrath
Will I pay my crimes by death?
I have made so many sons to bleed
Still Son of God bled for me
How could I ever believe?
Cold breathing Northwind shattering
As I say a silent prayer for my soul
My soul in shadows that rise upon my crimes
Dark and cold visions shredding my mind
By fierce blow of ice-cold Northwind
The cold Northwind
4. Blue Flamed Fire 4:53
I lay myself on the snowy ground and stare the open sky
The trees stand around me carrying their limbs heavy with snow
As my eyes wander at the stars and the moon retreats behind the clouds
I start to think about my life and the course I've given to it
The fire that burns keeps me warm
The fire that Christ set to burn
My mind survived the Blue Flamed Fire
My hate survived the Blue Flamed Fire
I can hear the church bells from a distance somewhere far
Voices of nocturnal nature raise the tempo of my heart
The Blue Flamed Fire's been burning in my soul for so long
Still I've always been myself; nothing less and nothing more
I lift myself up from the snow and start to walk in this darkness
Feeling so blind trying to find the path which I came from
As I raise my eyes to the sky the moon returns from behind the clouds
I look up to silhouettes of trees and know which path is mine
The fire that burns keeps me warm
The fire that Christ set to burn
My mind survived the Blue Flamed Fire
My hate survived the Blue Flamed Fire
I can hear the church bells from a distance somewhere far
Voices of nocturnal nature raise the tempo of my heart
The Blue Flamed Fire's been burning in my soul for so long
Still I've always been myself; nothing less and nothing more
5. Snowfalls 2:13
6. Dark Knight Under The Northern Sky 4:29
At this frosty night under the starlit sky
Northern light caress my eyes
The white spruce forest swaying
By the rhythm of the wind
I stare with sweet melancholy
Its snowy pride and green beauty
Crust of snow reflect in blue
Pale light of the moon
Walking through this silent night
Close to my heart the cross I bare
Silhouettes of trees in silence
Reminds me of greatness above
Oh starlit sky
Withdraw behind the cloudiness on
Dark night under the Northern Sky
Neon lights color the night sky
I wish they all would die
The gray forest stands polluted
Filthy snow begins to melt
I see violence on these crowded streets
So full of hostility
I confront eyes that contempt
That've forgotten him
Walking through this pagan land
My cross gets heavier to bear
But I've seen the revelation
Through your eyes my beloved one
Your starlit eyes
Awoke me to see forgiveness on
Dark night under the Northern Sky
7. Love Demise 3:53
As I walk this sidewalk all alone, wet from rain and so cold
I press my head down and try to hide from their looks
Deep inside I cry in pain, so intense it drives insane
I walk away from love that became betrayal
In my heart I bear the scars
That remain there forever
Clawed by Love Demise
Once partners now just apart
Left alone by betrayal
Clawed by Love Demise
"They were so young"; I heard them say, but that is not a reason
To rip my heart and leave it out to bleed
I lay my eyes up to the stars, and pray that I'll find her
The one I thought I found, but I am still looking for
In my heart I bear the scars
That will remain forever
Clawed by Love Demise
Once partners now just apart
Left alone by betrayal
Clawed by Love Demise
8. Metsäkukkia 2:09
9. Winterheart 3:26
I wake up to the sound of frost creaking in the walls
I crawl to the door to confront its cold breath
First morning after the long autumn
Excitement fills my heart
Before my eyes opens a scene so bright
Wintertime has begun
Oh, I hear the forest calling for me
Oh, the nature's roaring so tempting scene for
My Winterheart cast in white frost
Cold dawn of winter, the love divine enters to
My Winterheart
Into the cold and snow surrounded
Forest now I stroll
The path I've chosen leads to presence
Of the Creator
Oh, how I admire the beauty of these trees
Oh, how they stand in silence dressed in white they greet
My Winterheart cast in white frost
Cold dawn of winter, the love divine enters to
My Winterheart
Memories take me to dawn of his glory in my life
Grace pours like snowflakes on my wounded soul
10. Painthings 6:15
I'm painting my sorrow with these dark colors
I immortalize my painful life into this work of art
Night after night
At the attic in dim candlelight
I return to my work
These dark lines and visions that hurt
And from the canvas I can look into my soul
The paint reflects my inner fears and pain
Weak soul in my weaker flesh
Alone and so addicted
Lost of love made me insane
All I have is skill to paint
I'm painting my sorrow with these dark colors
I immortalize my painful life into this work of art
Pain after pain
Painted in valued works of art
The hate I have for this gift
Why can I paint the shape of suffering?
My respected art I create from my pain
Dark visions from my hollow soul
Weak soul in my weaker flesh
Alone and so addicted
Lost of love made me insane
All I have is skill to paint
Lost of love made me insane...

1. Everwinter 3:36
"I face the wall of a storm that freezes my soul;
With heart open wide I walk in..."
I close my eyes and let the wind embrace with its flow;
As I sense warmth commence in within.
I walk alone in the snow beneath the starlit sky;
I am free from the load of sin...
Into the purifying light I walk without fear;
I feel the frost of holiness enter me...
Frozen from the world I'm in;
State of mind... of divine!
Everwinter...
Frozen state of my mind;
Divine in the world I'm in;
Everwinter is nigh!
"Everwinter - Divine state of mind..."
In the heart of the north I have walked through the snow;
I look back at the trail that I came.
One set of footprints I see, but now I know I wasn't alone;
Because the trails are not mine...
Into the purifying light I walk without fear;
I feel the frost of holiness enter me...
Frozen from the world I'm in;
State of mind... of divine!
Everwinter...
Frozen state of my mind;
Divine in the world I'm in;
Everwinter is nigh!
2. Welcome To North 3:58
Welcome - I invite you to a journey of your life;
Snowstorm - On the frontier of dishearten mind.
Walk with me into these woods at this winter night;
Gaze upon the starlit sky to see the northern lights...
Frozen scenery gives a glimpse of hope;
Chosen trail that leads through the drifts of snow.
Upon your soul caress of winds purifying breeze;
Just beware, don't breathe too deep, or your lungs may freeze...
Welcome to north - Land of raging frost;
Welcome to north - This is the haven of cold.
Threshold - As we stand before the gates of north;
Stronghold - The halls of ice breathe presence of Lord.
We walk further into blinding light that heals the scars;
Natures roaring silenced under my fast-beating heart...
Welcome to north - Land of raging frost;
Welcome to north - This is the haven of cold.
Welcome to heaven of cold;
Welcome to north - The land of frost...
Welcome to north - Land of raging frost;
Welcome to north - This is the haven of cold.
3. Sacrifice 3:31
All for the love...
I walk into the moments darker than night;
Through the walls of apathy.
And all decay from which even the sun withdraws...
Oh - Light may fade, but the fire;
Fire's burning still...
Oh - Don't ask me to understand;
My need for your love.
And the sacrifice...
My soul in turmoil of emotion;
I try to focus and close my eyes.
As the reason tries to overcome what spirit has achieved...
Oh - Light may fade, but the fire;
Fire's burning still...
Oh - Don't ask me to understand;
My need for your love.
And the sacrifice...
Sacrifice - All for the love...
Oh - Don't ask me to understand;
My need for your love.
And the sacrifice...
Sacrifice - All for the love...
4. Painbearer 4:27
Eve of the cold I take a walk outside;
To escape the inner fight...
Wind blows the snow over my troubled soul;
Pain that won't leave me alone...
Under the burden that makes me insane;
I fade away...
They pull me into their lonely world of pain;
A horror parade...
Sorrow in my torn soul;
And a war within...
To whom can I turn?
Hollow in my thorn crown;
The load of grief...
The pain that I bear...
All the confessions poured upon my soul;
The turmoil inside...
To whom can I turn to on my own sorrow;
I pray for my soul...
Sorrow in my torn soul;
And a war within...
To whom can I turn?
Hollow in my thorn crown;
Can I turn to You?
The Painbearer
5. Edge Of The Frost 5:09
I wander through the wind and snow deeper into the unknown;
Old spruce trees and the sights of snowy fields I pass by;
The forest of my mind...
With fear I look the shapes and silhouettes;
One of them I stop to stare.
Black eyes of night looking back at me;
Raven of despair...
I stare into raven's eyes and see reflection of my life;
I see the sorrow and the tears, the demons of my fears;
Memories that tear...
The snow glimmers like stars before my eyes;
The glow of my fate.
Black eyes of night looking back at me;
Raven of hate...
Raven... On the edge of the frost;
I still remember its eyes black as night;
Raven...
Raven... On the edge of the dark;
I can still feel its cold eyes upon me;
Raven...
I wish the visions be gone and to see them nevermore;
As in the dark appears a light, the red of sunrise;
The filtering light...
Raven breaks the silence with a shriek;
And spreads its black wings.
The grace releases me from my pain;
Raven of grief...
Raven... On the edge of the frost;
I still remember its eyes black as night;
Raven...
Raven... On the edge of the dark;
I can still feel its cold eyes upon me;
Raven...
6. Coldstreets 4:05
I feed the fire in the night and wish the memories away;
As with tears I watch the flames of departure.
I still think of you and it makes it even harder;
I can't remember but the good times we had...
It was the love that become hate and all the wrong words were said;
I never wanted this to be, but still it is.
Seems like these nights are getting each time longer;
Longer they are when I pass them all alone...
I walk alone the cold streets.
Love is gone, cold streets.
Love is playing its cruel game upon my broken heart;
Loneliness is my only game on these cold streets...
The freezing wind from the sea blows its cold over me;
The sea lies frozen in ice as do my soul.
Seems like these nights are getting each time colder;
Colder they are when I pass them all alone...
I walk alone the cold streets.
Love is gone, cold streets.
Love is playing its cruel game upon my broken heart;
Love is no game on these cold streets...
I walk alone the cold streets.
Love is gone, cold streets.
Love is playing its cruel game upon my broken heart;
Love from above is what I need on these cold streets...
7. You 4:24
"I wait alone in the dark, for the gates to unfold;
Far and distant You are, far and distant...
...And so cold."
You - Thee so weak in belief;
Everything you must see;
But I'm the breath of wind...
You - Science your own fate;
In your world you resonate;
While I'm the balance in within...
I'm a man of the ways of this world;
And when the night falls the wolf reappears...
You - Still it was You for me;
How can I believe;
Never knew like of You;
You for me...
You - All it is done for me;
How can this be real;
My refusal of You;
You for me...
You - Lie, steal and deceive;
And only time you come for me;
Is in your moments of pain...
You - Blessed are thou who have not seen;
And yet have believeth;
I'm beginning and the end...
I wear the white clothe through the day;
And when the night falls the wolf reappears...
You - Still it was You for me;
How can I believe;
Never knew like of You;
You for me...
You - All it is done for me;
How can this be real;
My refusal of You;
You for me...
You are a man of the ways of this world;
But still I shine on the crimes you once did...
You - Still it was You for me;
How can I believe;
Never knew like of You;
You for me...
You - All it is done for me;
How can this be real;
My refusal of You;
You for me...
8. Suicidalive 4:17
I watch the snow flowing down gently from the open sky;
It makes me feel more alive.
I've been lying here alone, isolated from the crowd;
After my suicide...
Feels like all my emotions die, in depression I lie;
And they ask the questions why.
I can't remember the scene, from the tragedy I see;
Just the red in the snow...
They try to hide the tears and look away;
But they just stare at my scars...
My broken heart pumped the blood;
Out of my broken veins.
Knife alone in the snow;
Red of life run to waste...
A new start I will seek, mind is strong but body weak;
I await my heart to heal.
Just like starting into light, I am blinded by this fire;
As long as life there's hope for me...
They try to hide the tears and look away;
But they just stare at my scars...
My broken heart pumped the blood;
Out of my broken veins.
I lie alone in the snow;
Red from life as He came...
Alive!
9. Man Of Sorrow 6:36
"Another lonely afternoon... I just wait for tomorrow;
With longing and sorrow..."
I still see your eyes before mine;
Thou our time's far behind.
In you; no more life...
The cloak of night ends the day;
Leaving me in the darkness,
As these memories come to seal my fate...
Your blue beautiful eyes;
And starlit smile,
Haunts me through sleepless nights...
I still keep hearing your last sigh;
Your sincere forgiveness.
And all I could do was watch you die...
I am the man of sorrow
I invite you to my pain.
My lonely eyes reflecting;
Their appetite for revenge...
My thoughts keep drifting back;
To when you were gone.
I fell into this maelstrom...
"Revenge is mine" says the Lord;
And if I could leave it to Him,
I would be so much greater being...
I am the man of sorrow
I drown in this pain.
Your tearful eyes lie open;
As you wither in my arms...
Farewell - this is the end...
This pain - you were took away...
I am the man of sorrow;
I drown in this longing.
Your last sigh of forgiveness;
More love in death than I have alive...

1. Nightfrost 4:25
I wake up in the night, not to sound or to light, more to dream that's too real.
My thoughts circle inside my distorted mind, is this real or still a dream?
As I stare the silent winter night, whispers still echo in my mind.
Cry of frost, Nightfrost, shadow play for me.
Call of frost, Nightfrost, the allegory of dream.
At the dark brooding sky I see glow in the night through the heavy snowfall.
Distant weak gleam of light open my tired eyes to welcoming of dawn.
As I stare beauty of winter light, whispers are silenced in my mind.
Cry of frost, Nightfrost, shadow play for me.
Call of frost, Nightfrost, the allegory of dream.
Call of frost, Nightfrost, shadows cry for me.
Call of frost, Nightfrost, my journey begins.
2. Feareaper 3:27
From light into dark, I fall into fear into the unknown, the interlayer.
I set candle to burn, some light to my room in need of cleansing flame before I implode.
Oh - fear is all I reap.
Oh - is fear all I seek?
Gleam of subtle light in layers of my soul deep within the core, deeper than I know.
Lonely candle burns, cast light to my room, I stare it for awhile before I implode.
Oh - fear is all I reap.
Oh - is fear all I seek?
Fear - the burden I hold in this slough of despond; will I descend?
Layer of man - Layer of Judas - Layer of Judas.
Oh - fear is all I reap.
Oh - is fear all I seek?
Fear - the burden I hold in this slough of despond; will I ascend?
3. Frozen Inside 3:12
Cold - I stand alone in emptiness.
With pride I lie in shadows that I once left.
Oh - mistakes I've made I now repeat.
After all I've done, how can I remember this light?
Light - remembrance of its glow.
I hold my burden and feel the weight of this world.
Oh - tried to be wise, I became a fool.
Frozen is the key to get out of this cold.
I am frozen inside the coldness of time.
I lack warmth of feeling in my state of mind.
Frozen inside in my own head, where I now cry.
I am frozen inside my state of mind.
Frozen inside - where I now cry.
4. Icon Of Ice 3:43
I walk in knee-deep heavy snow and feel the wind on my skin.
I'm on journey to the north where I was sent.
I heard the calling by the light and silent whispers in the wind.
And behind these trees I found the monument.
Cold as ice - pure as light.
Icon of ice - witness of my demise.
The icon shines its cold blue light.
Icon of ice - reflection of life.
The icon opened the eyes of my mind.
Straight is the gate and narrow way which leads me unto life.
I feel like life has become an open field.
For a while there is no woe and all my fears are laid to rest.
Fallen is my heavy burden from which I'm freed.
Cold as ice - pure as light.
Icon of ice - witness of my demise.
The icon shines its cold blue light.
Icon of ice - reflection of life.
The icon opened the eyes of my mind.
Icon if ice - monolith of Christ.
The icon shines its cold blue light.
Icon of ice - reflection in time.
The icon opened the eyes of my mind.
5. Color Of My Sky 3:34
I see the red withdraw behind the green.
On the night sky stars fade into clouds.
Blacker than night - colder than blue.
I walk the streets in town of vanity.
The storm is rising; color my sky.
I wait for its rage; eyes wide open.
From the town of gray to forests of green.
Color of my sky.
The storm is rising; color my sky.
I stare at its rage; eyes wide open.
From the soil of gray to snow of white.
From ashes of gray to sun of red.
Color my sky.
6. Constant 3:29
There is none righteous, all have turned aside.
Sorrow fill the lives of falseness and lies.
Not hunger or thirst, diseases or wars.
Nothing is enough for dying mankind.
There is no horror, which man is not capable.
Misery and failure, is it what man is made of?
I step aside to listen, the cry of this world.
Pain comes in many forms, enhanced in hands of men.
Constant amount of pain driving us insane.
I have less so you get more.
Constant are the cries.
You have less so I get more.
Constant are the cries.
Constant amount of pain driving me inside.
I have less so you get more.
Constant are the cries.
You have less so I get more.
Constant are the cries.
Have a feast at Vanity Fear.
I have less so you get more.
Constant are the cries.
Have a feast at Vanity Fear.
You have less so I get more.
Constant are the cries.
7. Idlestate 4:56
Deep frozen snow scatters under my feet, as I walk downhill to valley below.
My heart beats faster in cold pale moonlight, behind the veil of darkness.
As I walk deeper the dark narrow path, I hear the echoing whispers again.
Running steps behind me, but when I turn, there is no one here with me.
Day passes away from the light into night.
I mourning idlestate of my brain.
I submit myself for thee.
I resist so it would flee.
My idlestate.
Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will have no fear in me.
For thou art with me, thy rot and thy staff, they bring comfort to my soul.
Day pass away from the light into night.
In mourning idlestate of my brain.
I submit myself for thee.
I resist so it would flee.
My idlestate.
Day pass away from light into night.
In mourning idlestate of my brain.
When I will fall I'll arise once again.
In darkest night shall be light unto me.
I submit myself for thee.
I resist so it would flee.
When light shined upon my head, I walked through the darkest night.
My idlestate.
8. Heart Of Cold 4:07
Here I stand in coldness, crossroads in the frozen snow.
Many paths from which to choose, one of them is my own.
I stare in disbelief the promise that I hold, as I can feel it in my heart.
Frozen wall of despair has locked me inside my own head.
And my soul chooses death, rather than this so-called life.
I stare in disbelief the promise that I hold, as I can feel it in my heart of cold.
Right to choose my own way, even though I'm lost in time.
For what it's worth I hold the key that unlocks my despair.
I stare in disbelief the promise that I hold, as I can feel it in my heart of cold.
9. Winter Of My Discontent 3:29
Alas!
That I shall now die,
Not for deed or belief;
All I've been is glory,
Fear shall not embrace me.
Behold!
That I'm not for this,
Nor my mouth says for grief;
Kingdom for heartfelt love,
Passed are all that was formal.
Now is the winter of my discontent,
Made glorious by this sun of north;
All the clouds that lowered upon me,
Are fallen and deep snow buried.
Now is the winter of my discontent,
Made glorious by this sun of north;
Of forests that scent of pine refines,
At heavens caress the white that alights.
10. Black Water 4:09
Black water runs in the winter breeze.
Stream in motion, will never freeze.
Deep or shallow it will be as belief.
This waterside is where I leave my grief.
Black water feels cold against my skin.
I am breathless as I walk deeper in.
Black water runs, takes me away, deeper in its arms.
I fell in love with the sense of being alive.
And now it's so hard to let go.
Far in water, gone is the feel of cold.
I dream of the harbour where I float.
Black water drifts me out of time.
Last river is where I close my eyes.
Black water runs, takes me away, deeper in its arms.
I fell in love with the sense of being alive.
But now it's time to let go.
11. Wintereich 6:54
I stand at the end of time, on the shore Wintereich.
Silence lay on the landscape frozen with snow.
Before me the mighty gates of pure glasslike ice.
I'm alone in heavy snow, in white loneliness.
In the distance thunder's raging and it's coming near.
I listen to the roar and hear a voice that's calling me.
"Come my child, don't fear to enter my domain."
White frozen kingdom of ice - into blinding cold of light - I feel the froze of purity - cold energy enters me - Wintereich.
I walk into the eye of the storm, in the heart of Wintereich.
I go through the gates and up the snowbound icy stairs.
Fierce wind blows but I keep walking into hall of ice.
"Welcome home my child, I have been expecting you."
White frozen kingdom of ice - into blinding cold of light - I feel the froze of purity - cold energy enters me - Wintereich.
White frozen kingdom of ice - into blinding cold of light - I feel the froze of purity - cold energy enters me - allegory of my dream - cold as ice, pure as light - I submit myself for thee - into the eye of the storm - Wintereich.

1. Art Of Death Act I: Soulbells 0:42
2. Evil Believer 4:02
Are you who you say you are?
Are you something else?
I want to know you, as I am one of you
I built a wall around my head
And filled my urges til they were dead
Here I stand alone in this land of confusion
Give me lever long enough and I shall move the world
Give me lever long enough and I shall turn the world upside down
Am I who they say I am?
Am I who I thought I was?
Who are they to name me, do I even care?
They are so keen to label me
Like it would set them free
All I ever wanted to be was only me
Give me lever long enough and I shall move the world
Give me lever long enough and I shall turn the world upside down
As the world keeps turning...
Evil believer - am I the one to make you question your faith?
Evil believer - who are you to question mine?
Outcast - unloved - hated - unappreciated
My life in veil of hatred, where do I belong?
Where should I stand if not with them and neither with my own kind?
I seem to balance on the edge of two worlds
Give me lever long enough and I shall move the world
Give me lever long enough and I shall turn the world upside down
As the world keeps burning...
Evil believer - am I the one to make you question your faith?
Evil believer - who are you to question mine?
Evil believer - nothing you do will make me question mine!
3. Nuclear Winter 4:03
Cold wind of north, the killers breathe
I hear the thunder from somewhere far
I feel the wave and scent of a grave
As I see darkness spread on the sky
Oh - madness imperial, grave-town, dark side of human mind
Oh - kingdom millennial, grave-town of the atomic age
(In nomine patris, et filii, et spiritus sancti)
After the fall - where do you crawl, when lights are dim
After the sin - nuclear winter, bleak is the day and the end is nigh
After the fall - a new winter dawn
Black trees sway in the cold breeze
Landscape of my fragmented mind
After a while this autumn is gone
And shades of winter bury the land
Oh - madness imperial, grave-town, dark side of human mind
Oh - kingdom millennial, grave-town of the atomic age
(In nomine patris, et filii, et spiritus sancti)
After the fall - where do you crawl, when lights are dim
After the sin - nuclear winter, bleak is the day and the end is nigh
After the fall - a new winter dawn
After the fall - where do you crawl, when lights are dim
After the sin - nuclear winter, bleak is the day and the end is nigh
After the fall - a new winter dawn, scour my soul, deep from within
Nuclear winter, bleak was the day that turned to night
After the fall - a new winter dawn
4. I Wept 4:22
Mother - I reach out for you,
As I lay upon this wait of godliness,
I sigh for a while and wonder your holiness.
Brother - the fires upon our hearts,
Are brighter now than ever before.
It is the sign of the end, I see, as it becomes fulfilled.
Wounds in my hands, wounds in my feet;
Wound in my side, wound inside deep;
Wounds in my hands, in my heart, in my soul...
Father - why have you forsaken me?
I can't believe weight of this loneliness.
Still I ask of thee, to forgive them,
For they don't know what they do.
Wounds in my hands, wounds in my feet;
Wound in my side, wound inside deep;
Wounds in my hands, in my heart, in my soul...
Wounds in my hands, wounds in my feet;
Wound in my side, wound inside deep;
Wounds in my hands, wounds in my feet;
Wounds in my flesh, wound in my soul;
Wounds in my hands, in my heart, in my soul...
In my flesh... in my soul...
5. Absolution 4:15
Standing on edge of where thins forest ends,
Looking at places, remember gone friends.
Blood on these hands is not from my veins.
I am returning to scene of crime,
Convoy of grieving still darkens my sky.
Blood of the innocent, my hands it stands.
I lay myself on the snow in this repentance.
Absolution...
Carry me into the absolution.
In your arms I fall.
Climbing the hill where I used to climb,
Woods are the same after all of this time.
Blood on these hands is not from my veins.
All of this blood that was shed for me.
Lamb to the slaughter to wash me clean.
Blood of the innocent, my hands it stains.
I lay myself on the snow in this repentance.
Absolution...
Carry me into the absolution.
In your arms I fall.
Absolution...
Bury me into the absolution.
In your arms I fall.
6. Art Of Death Act II: The Last Journey 0:57
7. Reek Of Rotting Rye 6:23
I've been searching for something good in mankind
Seek for wisdom in dim lantern light
But all I see is misery
While we feed our inborn greed
Reek of rotting rye
Greed of rotting kind
Bless and break and part the bread
Give me what I need
Reek of rotting rye
Freed from humankind
Invest in the stock of greed
Give me my daily bread
From two small fish and five loaves of bread
We could feed and treat a great group of men
Poverty and misery
While we feast upon our greed
Reek of rotting rye
Greed of rotting kind
Bless and break and part the bread
Give me what I need
Reek of rotting rye
Freed from humankind
Invest in the stock of greed
Give me my daily bread
Take the flesh of mind, for it is the bread of life
A new covenant - do this in remembrance of me
Take the blood of mind, for it is the wine of life
A new covenant - do this in remembrance of me
Reek of rotting rye
Greed of rotting kind
Bless and break and part the bread
Give me what I need
Reek of rotting rye
Freed from humankind
Invest in the stock of greed
Give me my daily bread
8. Last Day On Earth 5:30
I walk this path for the end of line,
I admire forest and its scent of pine.
As the feel of cold is creeping up on me,
I found a cabin with an open door.
Hear a sound of steps on the floor.
But there is no one for my eyes to see.
There is glow in the fireplace.
Warm coal on the fire grate.
And I feel the warmth spread inside.
I hear the floor to creak again.
I look but it must be my brain.
From the window I can see weak morning light.
I prepare myself,
In weak light of dawn,
For the coming day,
Last day on Earth...
Last day, for myself;
Last day on Earth...
And now I know who is moving in these corners.
Little black shape with glowing eyes.
I feel the wind like in dream I fall.
Last rites are spoken, for this is where flesh ends.
I prepare myself,
In weak light of dawn,
For the coming day,
Last day on Earth...
Last day, for myself;
Last day on Earth...
I prepare myself,
In weak light of dawn,
For the coming day,
Last day on Earth...
Last day, for myself;
Last day on Earth...
Last day on Earth...
9. Hypnotic Atrocity 4:50
On the break of sanity, I meet my antagonist.
In the field of theology, cannot find but agony.
You - do you believe in me?
Do I believe in you?
Who do you think you are?
Who are you? Are you God?
Where to find some relief, religion is too weak.
I tear down my belief, foundations of it I seek.
Do you believe all you see?
What could I have seen?
Who do you think you are?
Who are you? Are you God?
Hypnotic atrocity.
Schizophrenic antagonist.
Transorbital lobotomy.
Hypnotic atrocity.
Hypnotic atrocity.
Schizophrenic antagonist.
Transorbital lobotomy.
Hypnotic atrocity.
Gather words in this heap, is this Christianity?
I proudly take this leap, to haven of insanity.
You - do you believe in me?
Don't question my belief!
Who do you think you are?
Who are you? Are you God?
Hypnotic atrocity.
Schizophrenic antagonist.
Transorbital lobotomy.
Hypnotic atrocity.
Hypnotic atrocity.
Schizophrenic antagonist.
Transorbital lobotomy.
Hypnotic atrocity.
10. Thought Of Desolation 3:59
As thoughts fill my head,
Crawling into me,
I fall into something that should never be.
My tired eyes, at last open to see,
This inner night...
Feels like nowhere to hide,
From the violent sight,
I find new anger I thought was never there.
Find myself once again from the same feel of hate.
I feel the urge pulling me into thoughts of desolation.
I drown into this pool of thoughts,
And drain myself...
The scars that lie within,
Same feel awakening,
Is there something that can set me free?
Find myself once again from the same feel of hate.
I feel the urge pulling me into thoughts of desolation.
Dweller in the dark of my own heart,
From you I am falling.
Sleeper in the deep is awakening.
You I am calling...
Find myself once again from the same feel of hate.
I feel the urge pulling me into thoughts of desolation.
Dweller in the dark of my own heart,
From you I am falling.
Sleeper in the deep is awakening.
You I am calling...
From you I am falling.
Oh God, I am falling...
11. One Last Withering Rose 4:50
I stare the tombstone, the one with my name,
That stands in the rain.
The cold face of death, shape formed in a stain,
A delusion of my brain?
As the dark is rising and deeper is the night,
More distant becomes the light.
I'm falling into deepest veil of solitude,
Where lays one last withering rose.
I stray from divinity, to be triumphant once again.
I'll return with one last goodbye.
All the others are gone now, I am here alone,
I lean against this stone.
I wait in silence to what is bound to be.
I see it all before me.
I'm falling into deepest veil of solitude,
Where lays one last withering rose.
I stray from divinity, to be triumphant once again.
I'll return with one last goodbye.
One last;
One last withering rose...
One last;
One last goodbye...
I'm falling into deepest veil of solitude,
Where lays one last withering rose.
I stray from divinity, to be triumphant once again.
I'll return with one last goodbye.
One last;
One last withering rose...
One last;
One last goodbye...
12. Art Of Death Act III: The Requiem Of The Funeral Eve 8:54
Beautiful evening turns to night.
Clouds they gather to the darkening sky.
Storm is rising, but still it's calm,
As I've been writing this requiem.
I am powerless, wallow in this feeling;
I am breathless, hear the sound of mourning.
Distant church bells begin to toll.
I rise listen, feel it in my soul.
I'm getting weaker, but I need to write.
I stare these woods, this one last time.
I am powerless, wallow in this feeling;
I am breathless, hear the sound of mourning.
I grow weaker by the hour, I cannot sleep.
My heart's heavy for departure, in this final moment;
I feel growing weakness, cannot breathe.
My heart's last heavy beating, as I write this requiem.
I kneel down and lower my head.
Silent chanting fills the air.
It's time to begin the funeral.
From this edge I bid the last farewell.
I am powerless, wallow in this feeling;
I am breathless, hear the sound of mourning.
I grow weaker by the hour, I cannot sleep.
My heart's heavy for departure, in this final moment;
I feel growing weakness, cannot breathe.
My heart's last heavy beating, as I write this requiem.

2. Calm Before The Snowstorm 4:13
I - I am Alpha - I am Omega
I am the first and will be the last
I am beginning - I am the end
I seize the world in palm of my hand
Ice cold blood of immortal
In the silence we are waiting
In cold blood
You - you have the will - you have the means
We have the coldness of blue-flamed fire
Together we fly through ice and snow
And seize the world in palm of our hands
Ice cold blood of immortal
In the silence we are waiting
In cold blood
Calm before the snowstorm - cold blood of immortal
Calm before the snowstorm - blue-flamed fire can't be defined
Calm before the snowstorm - cold blood of immortal
Calm before the snowstorm
Time is upon us, we've been waiting for
In the silence; in cold blood...
Calm before the snowstorm - cold blood of immortal
Calm before the snowstorm - blue-flamed fire can't be defined
Calm before the snowstorm - cold blood of immortal
Calm before the snowstorm
3. Dawn Of Northern Coldness 4:14
The time has come for time to end
For this is the dawn of northern coldness...
Like the ice cold northern wind
Falling down on the frozen landscape
Over lakes, across the seas
Into hearts and souls
I look at the wall of snow
Showing me the way to go
Freezing all except my soul
At the dawn
Cold sun is rising - from the east
Light through the snowfall - color the mountains
The time has come - for time to end
Strengthening in our belief
On our way to the final frontier
Who has the will shall have the means
My brothers in arms
I walk into sanctuary
My brothers here with me
Start of a new century
At the dawn
Cold sun is rising - from the east
Light through the snowfall - color the mountains
The time has come - for time to end
Dawn of the northern coldness - the dawn of northern coldness
The time has come for time to end
For this is the dawn of northern coldness...
4. The Trail In The Snow 4:57
I walk into the unknown
Away from it all
Drifts and piles of snow
Frozen glass-like trees
Mountains of ice
Far lands of north
I see the features
Of depressed human mind
All of those creatures
That crawls in at the night
I feel like falling
To dark side of the moon
Struggle in within
Trying to escape my doom
The trail in the snow I walk in the shadow of the trees
Through the narrow path that leads to gate of existence
The trail in the snow that only few will ever find
This path I follow breathe the life in my worn-out soul
I shall remember
The scars that will remain
Return to sender
Feel like I became insane
Prevailing apathy
I will resist the flow
Thin line of loyalty
That in my heart I know
I walk into the unknown
Away from it all
5. Inverno 1:29
6. Snowstorm 4:17
It all began with light snow...
Hear the wind under the door
On the roof, under the floor
I feel the fright before this sight
Starlit night has turned to white
From the distance I can hear
A roar that's coming for me
I fly over moonlit woods
In the eye of thunder snowstorm
Those trees look small from afar...
Through the wind and thundering
I hear a vague sound of wings
Bricks and planks all around
The cabin fallen to the ground
I look the ruins of the wreck
And there I lie - dead!
I fly over moonlit woods
In the eye of thunder snowstorm
7. Cold And Barren Land 4:00
Nightfall - the stars shining bright
Light of the moon glow on the hills
All around the wilderness with its cold charm
I caress the feeling with open heart
Nightfall - gleam of northern lights
Snowfall - embrace the frozen night
I stare at the flames of the fuming fire
Casting its soothing warmth into the night
Cold and barren land
Of ice and snow
My heart filled with admiration
Cold and barren land
So beautiful
I look at awe of this creation
I lay myself on the frozen spruce twig bed
Soon I close my eyes to sleep on the snow
Nightfall - gleam of northern lights
Snowfall - embrace the frozen night
I stare at the flames of the fuming fire
Casting its soothing warmth into the night
I stare at the flames of the fuming fire
Mountains like guardians watching my sleep
8. Northern Star 4:25
Cold wind moves behind the row of tall pine trees
Makes them sigh, just like they could breathe
Northern lights - the green of sky
The feel of night - I stare in its eyes!
I look over the tree line in the night and see you there
Northern star - I've lost my way
And have myself to blame
Northern star - thou far you are
I see you - I see you there
See you there
Deeper in the northern landscape of snow
Eyes of night fade away in your glow
All this time I have felt the void deep inside
In my soul, waiting for your light
Northern star - I've lost my way
And have myself to blame
Northern star - thou far you are
I see you - I see you there
I look over the tree line in the night and see you there
Northern star - I've lost my way
And have myself to blame
Northern star - thou far you are
I see you - I see you there
See you there
9. The Grave Of A Poet 3:53
On a cold evening I give my regards,
I stand in snow next to the tomb.
Lying under a spruce tree and those stars,
As the one who shines, in this world is doomed.
For those who have wisdom,
Will be killed by those who have none.
Through the proticos of life, I caress the memory.
The feel of loss has passed as I stare the grave of a poet.
Forms of art as variation of immortality.
The feel of loss has passed as I stare the grave of a poet.
I can leave, turn my head, turn my back and still I hear,
Still I know, still I feel those touching words.
Absurd to claim there is nothing after here,
Denial of vision makes your own life blurred.
For those who have wisdom,
Will be killed by those who have none.
Through the proticos of life, I caress the memory.
The feel of loss has passed as I stare the grave of a poet.
Forms of art as variation of immortality.
The feel of loss has passed as I stare the grave of a poet.
10. Solitude 4:21
Staring at the fire
Against the night
In my solitude
I withdraw into woods
Under the night
I alone with my thoughts
Keeping me warm
Feeding the bonfire in pale moonlight
Close my eyes to listen to the sound of night
In my solitude - staring at the fire
In my solitude - I alone
In my solitude - my thoughts become alive
In my solitude - I as one
Staring at the fire
Against the night
Watch the flames grow higher
Keeping me warm
Feeding the bonfire in pale moonlight
Close my eyes to listen to the sound of night
In my solitude - staring at the fire
In my solitude - I alone
In my solitude - my thoughts become alive
In my solitude - I as one
In my solitude
Staring at the fire
Against the night
I grow complete
In my solitude
Feeding the bonfire in pale moonlight
Close my eyes to listen to the sound of night
In my solitude - staring at the fire
In my solitude - I alone
In my solitude - my thoughts become alive
In my solitude - I as one
11. Wintermetal 6:04
Why deny reality, we live in immortality
In the year 1991 is where this journey began
Wintermetal forever!
Riding down the mountain of my own emotion, everything feels so unreal
From a small town at Pohjanmaa to capitals of the world
We heard the call of Wintermetal
We heard the call of forever
We heard the call of Wintermetal
We heard the call
And now we all
In the eyes of the world
Stand alone
As I walk through the masses of snow at this frostbitten winter night
Unite we stand and strong is our will
Nothing can bring us down
Wintermetal is forever!
Cold January morning at the northern land, white frost embraces the dawn
Listen! Can you hear what I hear; it is the sound of salvation
We heard the call of Wintermetal
We heard the call of forever
We heard the call of Wintermetal
We heard the call
And now we all
Are standing strong
Forevermore
