Darkwoods My Betrothed - Nightowl Lyrics
Two eyes in darkness like two burning firesStill cold as a wintery lakeThe moon is hidden behind dark cloudsFluttering wings... the silence breaksI was walking on the edge of the forestWhen the eyes began to approachA while I just stood there watchingThe eyes coming closeThe owl she came onto my armHer eyes starring deep into meSoon a shroud covered my eyesI could hear but I couldn't see"The time is close, o men of KareliaMen of pride, the time is nearSoon thou will see a new god comingWhen snow falls he will be hereCenturies to come will see his dominionHis dominion that makes thee slavesHave not fear, it won't last foreverThe new dawn will hail thy father' gods again"At the very moment the last word was goneReturned my sightI saw no owl only heard a silent flutterFrom Tapio's realm, from the fading nightAs I walked away I thought:"It can't be true that a northern manWould lose his honour and be a slaveOf a god from an unknown land......."
