The heavens dark and steep unfolding above me
Stars wheel out as night grows deep
Sleepwalking to the valley of the moon
I look for your trace among the blooms
Long ago I strayed into a murky dream
I heard a quiet tune, a voice across the stream
I found you singing in the circle of the shades
A lament divine, a lament from faraway time
Once you held the sun
Flaring light upon your palm
Gleam in blackest night
The shining in your eyes
Once you held my soul
Dying ember on your palm
Gleam in blackest night
The shining in your eyes
When close to you I did not fear the dark
Death seemed far away the day I met your eyes
You were the tempest whirling through the wailing trees
You were the blinding flame, unbound and free
I can't recall anymore where you have gone
Did you return home? Back to your own kin?
Do you sing in the land beyond the stream?
A lament divine, a lament from faraway time
I cannot hold the wind
I cannot keep the light of stars
Cannot touch the flame
Orsteer the river's path
How could I have held you?
How could I have kept you mine?
The fairest light of all
A gleam in the black

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.
