I retired a towering mountain
Laid down in a circle of stones
For three days and for three nights
I listened to the skull of a bear
The sun burnt its sigil into my chest
The rain washed the evil away
Time spun itself around me
The moon cast its silvery shell
I rose up in circle of stones
Made my way down in the valley
Followed the banks of a rushing river
To a shore of and icy sea
The great bear growled
The thunder spoke
The mountain shook
The skies lit up
They came carrying their torches
Appeared from the desolate dark
Approached me circling and swirling
Howling their battle-cries
That's when the bear was born in me
It rose on its legs beside
From a distance the crack of thunder
And the red cloud swallowed the sky
I rose up in circle of stones
Made my way down in the valley
Followed the banks of a rushing river
To a shore of and icy sea
And in the furthest corner of the North
On the edge of the world we know
With open arms embracing them
And I bared them my heart of hearts
Under the red cloud
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.
