Verellä kirjoitettu kirja elämän
Käsissä sodan maailman luojan
Yli kuluvan talven voiko kuoleva jaksaa
Haavoittuneenakin susia kutsuen
Eikä miekka paranna metsien haavoja
Näin kirjoitettua ei verettä päätetä
Kuuntele, kuinka huudot kaikuvat
Vastarannalla aamuun ei odoteta
Maasta savea, taivaalta tuhkaa
Tulesta uhrit poltetun maan
Merestä aallot, taivaalta pisarat
Tulen henget rauhoittamaan
Ei kukaan meihin ole katsonut aikoihin
On ruoska repinyt pilvet halki
Rotat juoksevat kannella maailman
Kauna saaliiden silmist� leiskuu
Kun idän varjo lännestä lankeaa
Ja saastunut mieli kunniaa hakee
Jäästä syntynyt on ajettu tuleen
Tulen tekijät mustaan hukkuneet
Ei kukaan sano että näkisi tulevan
Ei kukaan sano jos pelkää
Kallioihin pirstokaa kirveet
Päätänne riiputtakaa, heikot polvistukaa
Syvään lihaan nahkanne luokaa
Ryveten häpeässä lapsenne uhratkaa
Ihmisen tahto kuin rauta taivuttamaton
Riiputtaa päätään kurja luotu virheetön
Se pelkää, mutta kuolee taistellen
Puolesta jumalten joita itse tunne ei
Odottaa voittajan täytyy
Voidakseen sanansa tuuleen heittää
Vuoret liikkuvat harvoin
Ei niitä siirrä yksin vahvinkaan
Vain hetken teidän liekkinne roihuaa
Katso, se hiljaa hiipuu, maan tuhkin koristaa
Syvyys kylmä viimeisen hehkun tukahduttaa
Kutsutko kuoleman sen vielä kerran herättämään
Sitä vielä itket kun synkän vieraan taloosi laskit
Siipensä levittämään kauniin elämäsi ylle
Sen yhdellä henkäyksellä poistamaan
Aseisiin, sen te kuulette aina
Teidän verellänne tämä maa peitetään
Se on polku, jota pitkin teitä seurataan
Niin kauas kuin pimeys jaksaa kantaa
Paikkanne lunastakaa, ette koskaan ole vapaita
Arkuissanne lapsenne kannetaan
Sataa ihmisen viha jumalten niskaan
Vahvemman oikeus vahvemman tappaa
Puolusta kotiasi, tuholle uhraa rakkaasi
Polta maa takanasi ennen kuin poltat itsesi
Sataa ihmisen viha jumalten niskaan
Punaiset pilvet sumentavat taivaan
Näin kaikki päättyy, kuumuus maan tyhjiin imee
Näin kaikki päättyy, näen sen nyt
Punainen taivas rotat saartaa
Verellä kirjoitettu kirja elämän
Käsistä sodan maailman luojan
Kansi hiiltyneenä laskettu maahan
Sanat sanomattomiksi tehty
Näin kaikki päättyy, näen sen nyt
Tämä sivu on viimeinen
Näin kaikki päättyy, tyhjään ja unohdukseen
Eikä kukaan tänne palaa
[English translation:]
A Land Driven Into The Fire
The book of life written in blood
Lies in the hands of the lord of the world of war
This lasting winter could the dying endure
Still calling the wolves when wounded
The sword doesn't heal the forests' wounds
What is written is undone by blood
Hearken to the echoes of warcries
The opposing shore will not wait for the dawn
Clay from the earth, ash from the sky
Offerings of the burnt soil from flames
Waves from the sea, drops from the sky
To calm the spirits of fire
No one has looked at us from above
The scourge has ripped through the clouds
Race of rats on the deck of the world
Grudge flames in the eyes of the prey
When the west casts a shadow on east
Whilst a poisoned mind desires glory
Which was born of ice is now driven into fire
The firemakers all drowned in black
No man will say he sees the coming
No man will say he fears
Splinter your axes against the rocks
Hang your heads and kneel
Shed your skin to reveal your flesh
Wallow in shame to sacrifice your kin
The will of man like iron unbent
Who was created flawless may hang his head
He fears, but will die fighting
In honour of gods he has never known
The victor must wait for his moment
To cast his words into the wind
Rarely the mountais do move
Even the strongest won't shift them alone
Your flame is ablaze but once
Behold as it wanes to veil the earth in ash
Last sparkles die out in the depths of cold
Death itself you may invite to find and fan them
And so you shall weep, for the somber guest in your stay
Spreads its wings over your beautiful life
Blowing it out with one single breath
To arms, you shall always hearken
With your blood they veil the ground
It's a path you will be followed on
As long as the darkness may reach
Claim your positions, you shall never be free
In your coffins your children are carried
The wrath of man cast upon the gods
Right through strength kills the strong
Defend your home, offer your loved to the ruin
Burn the land left behind before burning yourself
The wrath of man cast upon the gods
Red clouds blur over the sky
This is how it ends, heat sweeps the earth
This is how it ends, I can see it now
Red sky to encircle the rats
The book of life written in blood
From the hands of the lord of the world of war
Lay down on earth with bindings charred
And with all words made unsaid
This is how it ends, I can see it now
This page will be the last
This is how it ends, to emptiness, to oblivion
And none will ever return
