The moon used to rock my cradle at night Twinkled the bells of the stars Quivered the golden strands of my dreams Whispered the Norns of my fate
But I was born under a bad sign At a bad time to a place even worse In the blood of my father I was baptised, bound to my sister, by crapes
They took away my bright-eyed son Robbed me of my fledgling young one (Fledgling young one) Put him in chains and dragged him away Took him to toil as a slave through his days
With two faces grinned the moon The sun was casting strangе shadows Many lives I fostered in mе Many roads all leading to death
I was cursed to drown under Under waves, condemned to burn in the flames Hanged to a branch of an old oak Shackled in fetters of iron forged I'll raise the sword of my vengeance And cry in the name of my father To quicken my blood, whoa oh And destroy all those who stand in my way
Your quest for revenge will be your undoing Drowned in the blood of your kin (Blood of your kin) The avenging sword will break in two Lulled by the dreams of Tuonela
Mustalla virralla veneeni keinuu Helisevät tähtien hopeiset kellot Värisevät elämän kultaiset langat Kuiskivat kohtalon haltijat
