Kalevala Remains

Intro — whispered

Frost rises from the surface of the lake

Night devours the blue of heaven

Ancient song and iron and freezing wind

Awake O earth and restless spirit

Verse 1

Väinämöinen born from the sea

His word sharper than any blade

He calls the forest up from its roots

And the stars go dark in the sky

The gates of Pohjola stand black

Louhi guards the northern night

Far away Ilmarinen sings in iron

Forging fate beneath the heavens

Pre-Chorus

Three nights three fires

One who forges the world

When the Sampo rises from the shadow

The golden night claims its throne

Chorus

Sampo Sampo

The mill turns into the dark

Iron sings the heavens tear apart

Pohjola rises into flames

Sampo Sampo

The shadow swallows the sun

When the ancient power wakes again

The blood of Kalevala runs

Verse 2

Lemminkäinen rides like a storm

Blood boiling through his veins

The River of Tuonela calls his name

Black swans spread their wings

A mother's hands reach for her son

Through the embrace of death and night

Flesh bone spirit restored from fragments

Love tears the grave apart

Pre-Chorus

Three words three chains

Three shadows under the water

When death finally opens its eyes

Fire returns to the heart

Chorus

Sampo Sampo

The mill turns into the dark

Iron sings the heavens tear apart

Pohjola rises into flames

Sampo Sampo

The shadow swallows the sun

When the ancient power wakes again

The blood of Kalevala runs

Bridge — slower

The sea carries shattered fragments

The shores devour the crown

You cannot chain a song

You cannot kill eternity

When the kantele plays among the ruins

When the moon is blood-red

Väinämöinen looks back

And leaves the world still singing

Final Chorus

Sampo Sampo

The mill grinds fate to dust

Fire rises night will never die

Pohjola claims the kingdom

Sampo Sampo

Stone iron eternity

When even the final song falls silent

Kalevala remains

Outro — whispered

The ancient song will never die

It sleeps beneath the earth

It waits for you to speak its name
