As I sense their steel,
As I see the mighty one,
As we all gather once again
the gods of war summon us...
summon us
North wind blows to our valley
men with ships, with swords, with honour
Their horses between flames,
their dogs eating enemy childs,
Our heavenly father, what is this mortality,
do you see my mortal agony
Look, I see the shield up high
this must be the sign from my lord
this can be my death - sentence
what a fine day to die
Taste of blood comes up high
Wind blows hard, our men fall...
one by one
This oath claims me
I must bleed for my generation
Strong is the enemy,
strong is my sword
the hammer is rising
I feel their cold steel
Now when I leave this world
I shall open the mighty oaken gate
and we all shall gather once again
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.
