about

Symphonic metal from Finland/Greece. The song is based on the story from Finnish mythology called Kalevala.

lyrics

Wintertime in Northland
Quest for love
Journey to the mountains he planned
No fear and no wisdom he had
The Enchantress of North
Queen of dread
Hostage of hers was he henceforth
She would get the Sampo or his life instead

Hero, savior comes Ilmarinen
For his brother’s sake
He flew to the land of Pohjola
Vasara spake!

Stormwind blows him away
Land of poisoned embrace
Euchred’s he by her grace
He built the Sampo to save the old sage

Hero, savior comes Ilmarinen
For his brother’s sake
He flew to the land of Pohjola
Vasara spake!

On the first day, the spirit of Death brought into life the golden-arched crossbow, fed on human blood.
On the second day, as beautiful as it was evil, the Deathship emerged from fire, with insatiable desire for battle.
On the third day, a magical heifer was born, with horns of gold, however shrewish and ill-tempered.
On the fourth day, an avid plow, guided by a sinister spirit, started to devour the crops of the people!

Having had the winds blowing for days
The Sampo was born from the flames
Louhi received a mill that gave her grain, salt and gold

Unlucky in love
The lonely blacksmith
Returns home
alone and dejected
For eternity
Doomed to suffer
Will his fate ever change?
Will he escape the damnation and see the light?

Hero, savior comes Ilmarinen
For his brother’s sake
He flew to the land of Pohjola
Vasara spake!
