Wondrous gleam of the summer night
Sneaks in through the window pane
I hear a cuckoo's calling
As I lay by her side
By the grace of the one true God
By the providence of Christ
I have found the golden maiden
I have found the fairest one
I will fold her into my arms
I will wipe away her tears
I will keep her safe from all the harm
Forevermore
The flowers of the night
Only open up to the dark
I hear them whispering
As I lay by her side
How did I deserve this mirth?
How did I find this bliss?
Hallowed glow will shine upon her brow
Forevermore
But the colder winds will rise
And the autumn gloom awaits
For the seed inside won't grow
No child is on the way
The winter of despair
And the silence of the nights
Slowly will take their toll
Slowly will freeze our hearts
With tears in her eyes
She repeats the mother's words
Even the hounds will bark
When such a thing is near
Salt-ridden is this soil
And shriveled is the womb
A stain on our good name
Forevermore
The flowers of the night
Only open up to the dark
I hear them whispering
As I lay by her side
By the grace of the one true God
By the providence of Christ
Have I found the golden maiden?
Have I found the fairest one?
I will fold her into my arms
I will wipe away her tears
I will keep her safe from all the harm
Forevermore

Insomnium è una band finlandese di melodic death metal proveniente da Joensuu. Fondata nel 1997, il gruppo si distingue per l'influenza del doom metal e per testi che esplorano temi come dolore, morte, perdita e lutto. La musica di Insomnium incorpora anche elementi di folk nordico/norreno e musica sinfonica, creando un sound epico e malinconico. Il nome "Insomnium", che significa "incubo" in latino, richiama anche una categoria di visioni religiose presenti nelle culture greca, romana e medievale cristiana. Tra i brani più rappresentativi si ricordano "While Days Turn Into Years", "The Mourning Star" e "Ephemeral". L'album di debutto, "Within The Shadows", risale al 2000.
