Turisas - Among Ancestors - Текст песни

A peaceful grove, 
in treetops above the whisper of the wind 
It echoes over fields, over endless wilderness 
You close your eyes and there you are 
among your ancestors 
They greet you, 
welcomed to enter the war 
for freedom of their heirs 

Over the vasted fields, bearing the strongest shields 
Our fathers rode 
Through the thickest brakes, 
armed with the sharpest stakes 
To none they bowed 

The Northern blow cuts through your skin 
As swells beat your vessel 
The open sea surrounding seems dark and cold 
You wonder why men around 
you sit quiet for themselves 
Staring into the darkness... 

They know what awaits them there 
It is victory, or death 

The calm Baltic Sea 
reflects the first morning sunbeams 
A rosy-fingered dawn over the seas, 
an illusion of peace 
Straight ahead a palisade steep 
The time has come, "Hit the beach!" 

Over the vasted fields, bearing the strongest shields 
Our fathers rode 
Through the thickest brakes, 
armed with the sharpest stakes 
To none they bowed 

A peaceful grove, 
in treetops above the whisper of the wind 
It echoes over fields, over endless wilderne 
1000 
ss 
You close your eyes and there you are 
among your ancestors 
They greet you welcome to enter the war 
for the freedom of their heirs 

At last, the moment you"ve been waiting for 
Now it"s time to fight or fall 
The enemy line getting closer and closer 
You distinguish his eye-whites 
And pull your sword..."Strike!" 

You see your blade cut off his head 
Another father ends up dead 
No time to think who will miss him at nights 
Another slash and someone"s husband dies 

See the fear in their eyes 
"Their lines are scattered, hunt them down!" 
None were left alive to tell their wives
