Halo


The sea rose and fell
The waves were crashing
Thrashing a piece of wood
Against the rocks

The surf took it ashore
A strange stick I found
To pick up and ponder
And turn in my hands

A white raven's skull
Fashioned by time and tide
And its gnarly lines
Furrowed by stone

I put together a halo
Out of pieces of amber
Carved my own marks
With a knife of bone

In the middle of the halo
I placed the raven's skull
Drew wings with charcoal
Painted a bird in ash

The bird took wing and flew
A raven cried in the wind
The images washed away by the sea

Drawn by daylight's quill
Embraced by the woods
In the shadow of the twilight

A sign lingered in my mind
Halo behind my eyes
Picture of amber bright
Glowing with bronze

I put together a halo
Out of pieces of amber
Carved my own marks
With a knife of bone

In the middle of the halo
I placed the raven's skull
Drew wings with charcoal
Painted a bird in ash

I put together a halo
Out of pieces of amber
Carved my own marks
With a knife of bone

In the middle of the halo
I placed the raven's skull
Drew wings with charcoal
Painted a bird in ash

Thank you because you correct this lyrics

Biografia

Amorphis is a Finnish metal band formed in 1990 by Jan Rechberger, Tomi Koivusaari, and Esa Holopainen. Initially a death metal act, Amorphis later evolved into playing other genres, including progressive metal and folk metal, while still maintaining strong roots in heavy metal. The band frequently draws inspiration from the Kalevala, the Epic Poem of Finland, for their lyrics. Some of their most representative songs include 'House of Sleep', 'Black Winter Day', 'My Kantele'. Their debut album *The Karelian Isthmus* (1992) is considered a classic of melodic death metal. Over the years, Amorphis has collaborated with artists such as Ville Valo of HIM and Marco Hietala of Nightwish.
