Shades of Solstice

Only short time to us allowed before the urn Like flames of solstice the let us burn Skyhigh let us be in the fire ascending Earth stays below, the spirit heavenwards tending Ukko, you mightiest of all To you we raise our toasts To unite you with all our living With all our dead once more Fare now forth The rune-might is drawn Strike in the wilderness Hammer in the woods Ruler of the rain Master of winds Fare now forth Ukonvasara And when the seeds have been sown in the spring To the ashes of our past slept kin We raise our chalices to embrace your might Galdrs shall be heard spiralling towards the skies Ukko, you mightiest of all Old man of the sky High above the clouds you dwell In the center of the sky

On a nameless meadow By ageless time On a borderless field The dreams drift on by By rhythm of the moon By melody of the fire This moment is longer Here slows down the time Similar steps behind Can’t grand a new beginning The scent of the purest Primordial night Winter’s pale light, stretches its cobwebs Through these shadows, livelier than ever Each bright sphere of the moon Gleams in magic The night’s sounds of wild Accompany the beats Of this out tuned dance Until silence Cuts in deep and claws The branches are barely moving Yet the wind’s howl splits ears One sight can cover more Till cores, till cells, till meanings For a glimpse of a lifetime For a second of eternity Turn warmer the blood again Assemble the breath of life

Under the light of the pale seasonal sun, cruel lands of snow where the legends freeze In the northern sky the stars whisper The song of the arcing moon, the winter twilight is upon us In the eerie ghastly gloom of the merciless midwinter moon Magic of the runes prophets the forth-coming doom The signs and omens, now bright as mirages On the eve of war, the fiery sky blossoms in inferno Blood of the sun, lamentations of earth, open up in a song, hymn of the One Chaos supreme, the master of times present and past Summer of flame came, violent storms of magic rage Flood and plague, death and destruction, a new age The millenium of fire Like a river now runs the blood, like a stream is the bleeding Covering the berry twigs, hiding all the heathers

It seemed to him Like he had wandered for at least a lifetime When a whistling sound unknown came to him Like lamentations of the wind He longed to immerse his sword To Tuonela’s magical water Make for himself The deadliest weapon ever known A whistling sound Like lamentations of the wind In the old forest began to drive him Towards insanity Finally he noticed a black river Streching before him He had reached his dream But it was just the halfway of his journey He knew the return from Tuonela Would be even more difficult Than finding it ever was

Beneath the darken autumn sky Towards the great unseen Scent of the calming sea The world is closing in for sleep Now moon sets its flaming path Upon the waves of darkest black With stars burning ever so bright Forger of skies Master of winds Sail with us on this perilous journey Guide your way with the light of your stars Carry us with the breath of your wind Guard our journeys beyond the sea Raise the winds Calm the storms Great firmanent divine

In the old forest again The whistling sound that confused him Prevented him from sleeping and even from thinking Suddenly halted Silence had never before Sounded so sweet to his ears But vulnerable he was in his dreamy state For mistresses of the forest to seduce him And when he awoke to his full conscience again He realized that he was seized by an old tree With the mightiest weapon of all he would be Forever imprisoned in a tree And when his cries of distress accompanies the myriad Of other lamentating sounds In the forest of the mourning He realized where the whistle that drove him insane Had derived from

I broke off a branch of rowan-tree And sensed the sign of an approaching gale I drank the Ukko’s chalice And summoned the spirits of storm At the crown of the mythic world I raised my Galdr Forceful rapids, the infinite sea Echoing between the hilltops Endless thirst for wisdom For water of the fountain black I shall carve silver from wood On stormcircle, burning, flaming blue A journey through a lifetime On luckless lands of north Answers hidden by the winters veil Destiny’s driven, forgotten, forlorn Just tears of silver upon the water of deepest black Longing for a new spring When the olden shant, shall in circles echo mighty once more ”Noskaat norosta myrskyn henget, Hiekasta hevosväkit, Miekkamiehet liettehestä...” In the center of the sky

The archaic traveller I’ve touched the sky Followed the universal steps Far beyond mortal understanding I’ve danced with elementary powers At the nameless meadow up high I’ve tasted wisdom I’ve tasted pain For a great eternity I’ve existed The eternal spectator The archaic traveller The equilibrium unbalanced Behold the wrath of gods The fury of the elements Vortex of cosmic chaos The archaic traveller I’ve seen planets being born From the supreme primal chaos I’ve sailed the storming rivers of time Since the beginning To these times of the ends But mortal remember that: Rooms are small in Tuonela Underground chambers narrow No moonbeams, no sunshine Desolate may your life’s morning be But more desolate the death’s evening

Longer grow the nights, until days are everdark And from frostbitten soil rekindles the sky’s fire again And the age old song of the new day, echoes over campfire, calling back the light Ferns whistling beneath my weary feet Sun’s last orange beams twinkle from the midst of fluttering leaves Through treacherous bogs, above the dykes Towards the bleary sights of sundown twilights My horse galloping, my gown flittering On the mountains clefts and gullies Endlessly cheerlessly these crests are looming Each day as I wander, I feel like home Every night by the embers fire I dream the regions I go Longer grow the days, winning over the nights Until fire sets its blazing wings beyond your reach to sleep And the age old wind of the new night, blows back the shades from the world’s edge
