The Tuoni Pathway
1. The Call of the Dancing Waters
That lustful I made licit in my law,
To remove the blame to which I have been led
By love which followed me, and he will come
Soon as the wind in my direction sways him
So far away,
Yet held so close
I know you call me,
Wishing me back
Back into your arms
Back upon the throne
The call of dancing waters
Love, that on gentle heart doth swiftly seize,
Seized you for the person beautiful
But the distance, the long pathway it was
Upon the seashore and dawn of dust
2. Rain Before the Dawn
The seed of a man, Virgin Sun, hail,
High in the love of universe
You must forget the warmth it gave, I will forget the light
You must bring the shadows among us, into my heart and my blood
Silence, calm and beyond, so far and so close it is
I have written a fiery gospel, laid in burnished rows of steel
As you deal within my contemnors, so with you my faith shall deal
Let the might, born out of man, trust the church with his heel
Where all life embrace
Death lives, nature breeds
Like the rain before the dawn
Since the man is marching on
Where all life embrace
Death lives, nature breeds
Since the man is marching on
3. March Butterfly
It came for all, like a white shade of blue
Came through the forest
Came into the fields
Like March Butterfly
Through the frost through the shine
March for the joy, again and again
Came March, gave dream of new
Waking up the heart of joy and sorrow
Both ends of the path, of life
By the seashores through the winds
After the frost, healed the wounds of frozen
The strength is in the ground
Again and again seeding the world
4. Song of Tomorrow
I hear the evening shadows calling
Wood smoke, drifting veils the distant valleys
Summer evening's joy is far from me
Why am I not happy, sorrow shakes me
But the dark woods stillness O would welcome
Red clouds through which the day is falling
Sleepy breezes from the green dark forest,
Shadows on the water, meadows flowers...
Happiness is here in my own keeping
But here before me lies the way of shadows
Maybe tomorrow I will smile through the fear
And greet the day with new found hope
Maybe tomorrow I will laugh again
And forget about this old dead man
But that is tomorrow and this is today
And the darkness still prevails
5. My Sweet Thought of Death
I use to be afraid of the dreams
Afraid as they throlls were
The bed was my scaffold
No later light has lightened, up my heaven
No second morn has ever shone, for me
All my life's bliss from, thy dear life was given,
All my life's bliss is, in the grave with thee solidifying
When day turned into night
The darkened was my life
But upside down it turns
Dreams of nights were my friends
Cursed by life, hidden in lies
Fading from the air,
Beauty now dies
Life is giving in
My sweet thought of death
6. Tulikannel
Kuka keinussa jumalien keinun
Ei hällä elon aika pitkä ole
Synn synttämynden hniput nähköön
Sitten tulkoon tumma yö
La kun hän kulki,
Kiven kalliin tarjota tahtoi
Se oli ylpeä, hirmuinen
Oli jouset, Tuonelan
Kilvet katalan
Ano tulimerta, kantelen
Tuli sua kutämme kaikesta,
Mikä meidät ihmisiksi nostaa
Sointu sinä voiman tarmosta,
Joka iskut kohtalon kostaa
7. Among the Graves
8. Farewell to Misery
9. Vuoret ja metsänmaa
Mat on Metsänmaa
Siellä korkea kotimme
Nousussa punaisen päivän
Laulussa sinisen linnun
Mat on Metsänmaa,
Siell on matkan määrä
Kaartuvi syhstä vetten
Voittavi vuorten surut
