Muinaiset - Moonsorrow

A trail dimly familiar takes the lost ones along

Fallen trees lead the steps to the forest’s edge

The song of the ancient forces still echoes here

Reflected in their tears: a starless night which has seen the end

The rotting leaves on the ground surely remember

Perhaps they heard the harbingers of doom riding past

Far from war and hunger

Far from the world which was set ablaze

Here we must remain, we are so few

To trust the gods, perhaps for another moment we’ll survive

Beneath the stubs we’ll make our beds, with foliage as our blankets

No need to fear the flowing water

No ash pouring down from the sky here

If unfamiliar with yourself in the darkness

You will not know what you hear in the silence

From mouth to mouth the ancient wisdom’s travel

Words dating from years before our birth

We knew it all, yet lacked understanding

As we are gazed at by a thousand eyes

Towards them our heads turn

Meet the Ancient Ones!

The Ancient Power which tears down the creations of man

And is itself reborn

As heaven opens and drenches the land

Every tree is rooted in stone

Thus the walls of the fortress fall

The walls of hatred splintered like glass

Rusting machines from a time gone by

Ships remain at the bottom, forgotten

And all our traces washed in clean water

Thousands of years wiped away in a flash

Holy writings return to the ground

Meet the Ancient Ones!

Meet the new World!
