The Heart of Turisas

At the tables of the North Man is used to blizzards and storms Their arms are tempered by the work of their swords Gallantness and faith fills their hearts The heart of Turisas was forged by four winds In a smithy high up in the skies On an anvil of honour, with a hammer of blood The four winds pounded The heart of Turisas was forged by four winds In a smithy high up in the skies On an anvil of courage, with a hammer of sweat The four winds pounded Over vast steppes Horsemen ride for day and night With honour and glory in their minds The Eastmen ride Under the sun The soldiers of the South sing their songs Endless scorching deserts Have trained these men Take this sign into Your heart and be brave Let it lead You to Your glory or Your grave Today Hear Me, My warriors Soldiers from all the edges of the world Let us join Our forces To an army, united The four winds guide Us The heart of Turisas leads Our way Our drums echo: Forward march Our horns cry for victory Beyond the ocean The warriors of the West bend their bows In the name of the Eagle These brave men fight The heart of Turisas was forged by four winds In a smithy high up in the skies On an anvil of glory, with a hammer of tears The four winds pounded

Far away, Beyond the bay Rugged hills tower over the woods A fort stands steadfastly on each top No pinewood this enchanting at night, Nor water so blue or bright This is the land of the Fenns Once the trees were as old as the world Whole Tavastia was quiet and tranquil Now those days have gone by Left: mourning and loud war cries A chain of six bonfires blaze People start running back and forth In these distant towns of North Hundreds of years We’ve fought Thousands of men dropped their sword ‘til the last man falls - We vow Blow Your horns, Prepare for war War ships float towards the town With crosses sewed on their sails The huge fort gates are boomed The ones left outside are doomed United agaist the cross We stand Suddenly all the people fell quiet The cloudless heavens turned scarlet Drumskins strongly boomed from the skies The signs of warfare were infront of our eyes See the battle raging - Grab Your sword A distant thunder rumbling - Bend your bows The great arrows fly, Stallions whine Long chains creak, Heath echoing Finally the victory is achieved Last enemies retreat Much blood have been spilled Hundreds of men been killed Cheering and celebrating can be heard Far away, Beyond the bay Rugged hills tower over the woods A fort stands steadfastly on each top When will the old Gods fall? For how long will the spirit live on? United against the cross we stand

Once upon a time there was a tavern, Where we used to raise a glass or two, Remember how we laughed away the hours, Think of all the great things we would do. Those were the days my friend, We thought they'd never end, We'd sing and dance for ever and a day. We'd live the live we'd choose, We'd fight and never lose, For were young and sure to have our way.... La La La La La La, La La La La La La Just tonight I stood before the tavern, Nothing seemed the way it used to be, In the glass I saw a strange reflection, Was that lonely fellow really me? Those were the days my friend, We thought they'd never end, We'd sing and dance for ever and a day. We'd live the live we'd choose, We'd fight and never lose, For were young and sure to have our way.... La La La La La La, La La La La La La Through the door there came familiar laughter, I saw your face and heard you call my name, Oh, my friends we're older but no wiser, For in our hearts the dreams are still the same... Those were the days my friend, We thought they'd never end, We'd sing and dance for ever and a day. We'd live the live we'd choose, We'd fight and never lose, For were young and sure to have our way.... La La La La La La, La La La La La La
