  1. 1. Aurora Borealis

    I see in the northern sky
    Again the magic of the winter night
    Like colourful dancing curtains
    I will never forget this moment

    According to the legend
    When foxes made fire
    Sparks they whisked
    Up into the sky

    [Chorus:]
    I'm the child so favoured
    Under bright mystic glow
    Now she is whispering for me
    The goddess of dawn

    Aurora is calling me
    My name is written into the solar winds
    Like flames in the sky burning bright
    I'm the child, conceived under the northern lights

    According to the legend
    When foxes made fire
    Sparks they whisked
    Up into the sky

    I'm the child so favoured
    Under bright mystic glow
    Now she is whispering for me
    The goddess of dawn

    The Sky is turning red like bloodshed
    On the battlefield of many thousands dead
    Listen to the mystic sounds when spirits are whispering
    And singing for the god of north wind

    According to the legend
    When foxes made fire
    Sparks they whisked
    Up into the sky

    I'm the child so favoured
    Under bright mystic glow
    Now she is whispering for me
    The goddess of dawn


    2. Cut 'Em Down

    They came across the sea
    Landed in the coast of Pommer
    They entered to south Saxony
    During the thirty years war

    From Breitenfeld to Lutzen
    From Leipzig to Lens
    The Battle after one by one
    The were ready to the next

    The Finnish light cavalrymen
    With the helmets and the swords
    The warhorses ready to fight
    Across the rivers they forded

    In the service of king Gustavus
    With their glory and their pride
    They raided, attacked savagely
    Through the enemy front they rode

    No mercy to the enemies
    Dust clouds, finnhorses breath
    Fight with courage to the end
    From dusk till the dawn of death

    Their strength and camaraderie
    Their battlefield success
    They were well-respected
    By their adversaries

    [Chorus:]
    Attack - scream your warcry
    Fight proud with courage - before you die
    Attack - scream "Cut 'em down"
    Kill 'em all now - burn down their town

    "Our fatherland awaits us in the land of the snow
    Blazing flames in our beach and storms strongly blows
    Our hands fill the air with our strong mighty swords
    There faith and the honour of brotherhood strongly glows
    They forded across the Neva, snorting horses like war-beasts
    And swan over Vistula like hurrying to their feast
    Like the avengers they bring their sabres over the Rhine
    'til from the Danube they all drank the emperor's wine"
    [Poetically partly translated by Tears Of Magdalena of original Swedish verses from The Finnish cavalry battle march by Zacharius Topelius.]

    With a leather armor and a breastplate of steel
    They fired the pistols then draw the sword

  2. 3. Immortal Love

    It's a long time ago
    Do you remember the place
    Where we first time met and now again
    Our love lit like a flame

    You told me I'm your light
    In the dark side of your life
    And your heart will burn for me in eternity

    [Chorus:]
    Even if nightstars would fall or sun would rise no more
    My heart and my soul belongs to you
    Even if mountains would fall or storms would break the walls
    My love and my life belongs to you

    I don't want to live
    Without your love that I need
    I want to soar like a seagull
    You are the wind under my wings

    Forever we dare to try
    Together we learn to fly
    Searching peaceful place of world
    For better life

    Even if nightstars would fall or sun would rise no more
    My heart and my soul belongs to you
    Even if mountains would fall or storms would break the walls
    My love and my life belongs to you

    Let me show you my world
    Let me sail across the seas
    With you to the eternal land
    Somewhere there is promised island
    And there we will find peace and love
    Away form sorrow and despair
    And our love will be evergreen
    In the paradise you've never seen

    My darling can't you see
    Oh darling you must believe me
    Our love is immortal and it is real...

    Even if nightstars would fall or sun would rise no more
    My heart and my soul belongs to you
    Even if mountains would fall or storms would break the walls
    My love and my life belongs to you


    4. The Eastway

    They came from the west
    Through the storm across the sea
    One thousand men armed
    With their swords and shields

    Somewere there was a strange land their never thought,
    It would be so far from home

    They sailed with their ships
    Across the rivers and lakes
    With courage and pride
    Like proud sons of god Odin

    The were varangians from the west - they were vikings,
    The warriors of town holmgard

    Then two tribes rebelled
    Against their conquerors
    Driving 'em overseas
    Back into their land

    After conflicts the tries invited 'em back,
    To rule 'em, to bring order and peace

    They roamed the rivers
    Engaging in trade
    Merchants who raided
    And colonized new lands

    They served as the bodyguards of the emperor,
    The warriors of town miklagard

    Hej skål hej
    Hej skål hej
    Nu skålar vi för dig, hej hej

    They sailed with their ships
    Across the rivers and lakes
    With courage and pride
    Like proud sons of god Odin

    The were varangians from the west - they were vikings,
    The warriors of town holmgard

    They served as the bodyguards of the emperor,
    The warriors of town miklagard

    Hej skål hej
    Hej skål hej
    Nu skålar vi för dig, hej hej

  3. 5. In The Silence

    Everyday I feel, so lonely
    I'm bird in the cage
    Captive behind my bars
    I've lost my lust to fly

    Everyday I feel so sad
    Depressing thoughts in my mind
    I want to sleep away
    But I'm afraid to die

    [Chorus:]
    In the silence
    There's no peace
    In the emptiness
    There's no life

    Everyday I feel unhappy
    In my meaningless life
    I'm sinking into despair
    In the sea of distress

    Everyday I feel so bad
    Depressing thoughts in my mind
    I want to try once more
    But I'm afraid to live

    In the silence
    There's no peace
    In the emptiness
    There's no life

    War inside my head
    I'm not sure, am I alive or dead?

    In my dreams, there's no pain
    In my dreams, I am free
    In my dreams, like an eagle
    In my dream, I am flying so high

    In the silence
    There's no peace
    In the emptiness
    There's no life

    War inside my head
    I'm not sure, am I alive or dead?


    6. Nightmare

    I have seen a nightmare -
    One terrible scary dream
    When devil came to me
    And tried to take my heart

    You tried to scream, you tried to breath
    When devil spread its wings
    And tried to strangle you
    In your bed at night

    Was this true or a dream, I didn't know
    Until I woke up frightened again

    [Chorus:]
    Dancing with the devil
    Dancing all your life
    You had no love
    Only broke dreams

    Every night in my dreams
    It haunted in my mind
    "what do you want from me,
    Leave me alone" - I screamed

    Your heart is the gate,
    And your love is the key
    The way from hereafter
    Back to the mortal world

    When I had all my love
    But for nobody to give it

    Dancing with the devil
    Dancing all your life
    You had no love
    Only broke dreams

    When you give your love to me
    I will bury my bad dreams
    And then this evil will ends
    And love will live forever
    For you - and for me...

    Dancing with the devil
    Dancing all your life
    You had no love
    Only broke dreams

  4. 7. Mermaid

    Into the blue, where seaweed grows
    There is home of sea-maiden
    I sink with your last breath
    Until I kiss your lips

    I follow your shadow
    'til I find my sweet
    I cry for you, flow my tears

    [Chorus:]
    Where are you my prince, my dear
    I'm your mermaid in your dream
    I'm waiting your under deep blue sea
    Come here my darlin' and release me

    Into the blue, where seahorses swim
    There is home of sea-maiden
    Dive with me into the unknown
    Until I touch your soul

    I follow your shadow
    'til I fall in love
    I sing for you, burying all your fears

    Where are you my prince, my dear
    I'm your mermaid in your dream
    I'm waiting your under deep blue sea
    Come here my darlin' and release me

    In the middle of the night
    When the moonlight is so bright
    Form the deepness of black ocean
    She will come and sing again...

    Where are you my prince, my dear
    I'm your mermaid in your dream
    I'm waiting your under deep blue sea
    Come here my darlin' and release me


    8. Your Blood Is My Wine

    She came to me
    In the middle of the night
    Again into my dreams
    Like an innocent child

    I'm your beast of the night
    If you call my name
    I'm your wildest dream
    Be my wicked game

    [Chorus:]
    Let me bite your neck
    Your innocent soul will be mine
    Let me taste your mortal blood
    'cos your blood is my wine

    Her icy sweet and bloody kiss
    I felt on my lips
    Her bare body, pale as death
    I touched her virgin skin

    I give my love to you
    If you join me
    Together we will ride
    Behind black cold sea

    Let me bite your neck
    Your innocent soul will be mine
    Let me taste your mortal blood
    'cos your blood is my wine

    Have you ever dream of
    A place you've never seen
    Take my hand
    And come with me

    I let her lure me -
    Our last journey
    Into the paradise
    Has just begun...

    Let me bite your neck
    Your innocent soul will be mine
    Let me taste your mortal blood
    'cos your blood is my wine
