On a stranded shore


Silk of blue woven by the moon
Red spun by the sun
Of the sun's gold

Silver in wrists and in her rings
Hair braided in red
Her shoes featherlight

As reeds and straws on the shore
As bark and foliage
As clamshells and sand

My maiden's flesh
Now fish in the lake deeps
Her blood now waters blue

Oh god of sleep
Tell in my dream
Where has my maiden gone
Where lies my mermaid now

Rise above the waves
From the waters' grave
From the side of spottled stones
Become alive again

These shores are for memory
These waters not for baiting
No shallows for the thirsty

No sun beheld above these shores
No reflection of the moon on these waters here

My maiden's hair
Grass on the waters' edge
Now willows on a shore

Thank you because you correct this lyrics
 
The lyrics ON A STRANDED SHORE of AMORPHIS is also present in the album The beginning of times (2011)

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.
