[Digipak version bonus track]
Far from here, a house forsaken on lands of yesterday
the silence of the night has crept in
as weeping of the women, as thoughts of solitude
as sadness and as grief
In a dim deserted room a token left on the table
a talisman, a hairbrush from his father
oozing from the shaft a stream of bitter sap
dripping scarlet flow, so slow
They know it to be an emblem of death
a sign of destruction
they recognize the end of a friend
the agony of a man and son
they look at brush, remember the black hair
they weep the bitter sap
Oozing from the shaft a stream of bitter sap
dripping scarlet flow, so slow
bristles weeping wet, into a pool of red
The lyrics SIGN of AMORPHIS is also present in the album Silent waters (2007)
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.
