From Afar Lyrics by Ensiferum

Two Decades of Greatest Sword Hits

2009

[Verse 1]
A raven came to me, spoke to me in my dream
A long lost prophecy, a forgotten legacy
Echoes of yesterday won't let these dreams fade away
All the beauty I adored at the edge of the world
[Verse 2]
Across the universe, time is to be reversed
No shelter can be found; to this fate, we are bound
Behold the final hour, the last times will be dour
All life falls into gorge of the end of the world
[Refrain]
Burning skies on the vengeance's night
Devastating scythe of the Ancient Light
[Chorus]
I saw the might of the Ancient Light
And the beauty of the perishing world
There's no tomorrow, we have been warned
[Verse 2 Reprise]
Across the universe, time is to be reversed
No shelter can be found; to this fate, we are bound
Behold the final hour, the last times will be dour
All life falls into gorge of the end of the world
[Bridge]
The sky's bird struck fire, made a flame flare up. The north wind burnt the clearing. The northeast quite consumed it. It burnt all the trees to ash and reduced them to dust
[Refrain]
Burning skies on the vengeance's night
Devastating scythe of the Ancient Light
[Chorus]
I saw the might of the Ancient Light
And the beauty of the perishing world
There's no tomorrow, we have been warned
