She robbed the moon from the sky
Derailed the sun off its course
Inside her mountain enchained the light
She took the wisdom for her own
The sun no longer shines on us
No silver moon reflects
The stars no longer give their light
To help us find our path
I'm thrown on barren wastelands
In feverish swamps I'm lost
I stagger through white-rimed lands
I drown in diseased black mire
I fight the forces, forces of dark and cold
Upon the witches I cast my spells
I strike with a sword, touch with a feather
And sing my song into the night
Beyond the heaven, the highest one
The god supreme smites with his sword
Into the sea falls fiery star
A pike of deep swallows the spark
Skyforger, come to my aid
The Magicsmith, by my side
Daughter of creation
The tiny man from the sea
Ilmatar the ancient
Mighty ocean-dwarf
Skyforger by my side
Thunder and lightning
We find the hidden moon
Release the mountain-bound
We light the wisdom of the heart
The sun dawns anew
The lyrics BATTLE FOR LIGHT of AMORPHIS is also present in the album The beginning of times (2011)
Amorphis è una band finlandese di metal formatasi nel 1990 da Jan Rechberger, Tomi Koivusaari ed Esa Holopainen. Inizialmente un gruppo death metal, Amorphis ha poi evoluto verso altri generi come progressive metal e folk metal, pur mantenendo sempre radici profonde nell'heavy metal. La band si ispira spesso al Kalevala, l'epico poema finlandese, per i propri testi. Tra le canzoni più rappresentative: 'House of Sleep', 'Black Winter Day', 'My Kantele'. L'album di debutto *The Karelian Isthmus* (1992) è considerato un classico del death metal melodico. Nel corso degli anni Amorphis ha collaborato con artisti come Ville Valo dei HIM e Marco Hietala dei Nightwish.
