Wintersun - Awaken From The Dark Slumber (Spring) lyrics

Beneath the murky soil The draw of the ancient spell Swallowing everything in the ground And then there was no sound Twisting the roots of life Distorting the obscure shapes The day was creeping into night And then there was no light The mist was rolling from the mountains Creatures were crawling under the ground The darkness fell from the sky And then there was no life The spell was too strong Too weak to resist its pull The wind was frozen still as I took my last breath But then there was no d**h The days turned into years The years turned into eternity The natural order was twisted into dark harmony Dark dark harmony I created my own fears The mist of sorrow encircled my thoughts The demons came forth from the shadows bringing dark disease Dark dark disease With a sudden roar the ground trembled and cried As the fire burned a hole in the sky The light was swallowed into the ground and the colors were broken in the night And all the stars' creations were left to die Now! Let the dark disease wipe out all the living Oh! And let all the lands be filled with silence In the night´s cold embrace you left me astray And the hope of new life fades away Now! Let all the lands be covered in black snow Will the morning sun ever rise again And let all the creatures of the forest turn into stone The slow demise has begun Will this be forever From the realms below we ride And in terror they run and hide From the shadows of old we rise Awaken from the dark - from the dark slumber Over the ancient ruins we fly Where the old kings go to die And new kingdoms rising high Awaken from the dark dark slumber Awaken from the dark - from the dark slumber Awaken from the dark dark slumber Rise! Creatures of the dawn Crawling from the depths of the frozen earth As the shadows were twisting and turning beneath the sun The sound of the moaning beasts Blaring through the forest As they´re roaming wild beneath the morning sun Ride! Ride with us again! Fight! And live as free men! Die! And be born again! Ride! Ride! Ride with us again! Fight! Fight! And live as free men! Die! Die! And be born again! Die and be born again! Centuries in darkness Bound to ruthless ice and snow As the dawn of the new world rises, we shall be free By the fire we live and die And the light of the sun fills our eyes From the fire beyond the ancient stars we are born From the realms below we ride And in terror they run and hide From the shadows of old we rise Awaken from the dark - from the dark slumber Over the ancient ruins we fly Where the old kings go to die And new kingdoms rising high Awaken from the dark dark slumber Awaken from the dark - from the dark slumber As the old worlds fall behind Our spirit reaches wide With no fear breathing new life Awaken from the dark dark slumber
