Ice it shattered into shards
Gave away under our feet
Many men did lose their lives
Taken by Tuonela's river
In the blue frost of the night
In the icy waters of death
Stifled were both wail and whisper
Frozen were the living hearts
The days they followed each other
Nights defended our dreams
With the seasons grew our circle
And we knew we'd found our place
We would start from the beginning
Make it with our meager means
Crouching, cowering companions
Journeying ever northwards
Waking in the dead of night
My eyes opened in the darkness
I saw the sign of the red hand
Marking the mouth of a cave
On the sordid, stony ground
On a field of frozen grass
I found my spirit kith and kindred
My sisters and my brothers
Game is good and plentiful here
Happy is the life, the life of man
It was not in vain we came
Strayed from the silent waters
The days they followed each other
Nights defended our dreams
With the seasons grew our circle
And we knew we'd found our place
We would start from the beginning
Make it with our meager means
Crouching, cowering companions
Journeying ever northwards
The lyrics NORTHWARDS of AMORPHIS is also present in the album Halo (2022)
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.
