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
The lyrics UNDER THE RED CLOUD of AMORPHIS is also present in the album Under the red cloud (2015)
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.
