Sankarihauta Lyrics by Moonsorrow

Voimasta ja kunniasta

2001

Saapui hän keskelle hävityksen
Kylään ammoin niin rauhaisaan
Katot hehkuivat väreissä liekkien
Ja veri rakkaiden peitti maan
Vihan nostatti ja kiiri taivaisiin
Niin moni lieni jo tiellä tuonelaan
Vaan he viel' ei veisi häntä mukanaan
Vaik' joukkonsa hän kokosi liki lyödyistä
Yksin raivonsa vavahdutti julmaa vastusta
Kai satakunta ruumista hän polki allensa
Armoa ken sai kohtas' vain kirveen kaulalla
"Miekanterät vapauttakaa
Kostuttakaa kylmää rautaa!
Suokaa heille vihastanne
Hukuttakaa hurmeen virtaan! "
"Kilpien taa piiloutukaa
Pelkurit jo perääntykää!
Ohitsemme jos mielitte
Viimeinenkin hautaan saattakaa! "
Harvatpa kertomaan säästyivät
Siksi veri yltyi virtaamaan
Niin vain aika koitti myös sankarin
Kirjailtu miekka kourassaan
(vaan mies taipumaton veljet rinnallaan
Tarustoissa elää ainiaan)
[English translation:]
[Warrior's grave]
Amongst such ravage he arrived
To a village once so calm
Rooftops glowing the colours of flame
And the blood of the beloved on the ground
Such anger did it raise to echo through all skies
To beyond so many may have travelled
But not yet they were to take him along
'though gathering his forces from those nearly defeated
Alone it was his rage that shook the cruel enemy
Hundreds of corpses he trampled underfoot
His axe on their necks as a display of mercy
"Blades of your swords shall be set free
Iron so cold shall now redden!
Grant them a glimpse of your hatred
Drown them into the streams of gore! "
"Behind your shields you shall now hide
All you cowards better flee!
Should you past us desire to walk
Our last man standing you must strike to the ground! "
Very few were spared to tell this story
So immensely the blood took to flowing
And so the time of the warrior did come
With an embroided blade in it's hand
(but a man unyielding with his brothers by his side
As a legend he lives forever)
