Lyrics:
Tumman Virran Taa

"Yllä harmaan korven korpit laulaa,
Hurme tämän kansan roudan sulattaa,
Katso kuinka hohkaa kansi taivaan,
Kutsuu se meitä tumman virran taa,
Heikot vaipuu kuohuun sysimustaan,
Sankarit kun astuu joen rantaan,
Halki iäisyyden laulu raikaa,
Kutsuu se veljiä tumman virran taa."

[English translation:]
"Ravens sing over gray wilderness
Blood of this nation will melt groundfrost
Look how top of Heaven "glows"
It calls us behind dark stream
Weak sink in pitch black "surge"
When heroes step in shore of river
Through eternity sing "clang"
It calls brothers behind dark stream"

The Longest Journey (Heathen Throne Part II)

"Could my ruin have come,
My day of trouble had arrived,
In these tuonele cabins
These abodes of the dead,
The dead land?" - Kalevala

Far beyond the dark stream pagan souls will
Roam those cold lands wild and free.
Wait for the sign a blood red sky.
Then beyond the dark stream we will ride.

The path of mortals,
So narrow and brutal.
Only bravest of them all
Will find true valours

Decaying souls of men,
Who trust in false omens,
Will drown in the stream
With their untrue beliefs.

He's been drifting
For so long,
Searching for the land.
Where heroes roam.

In the horizon,
The last ray of light,
A breeze from the other side,
Before he dies.

Dividing walls of stone,
Eternal heathen throne,
Beneath the cold starlight.
Revealed for the purest sight.

Through constant affliction
Towards alleviations,
When a searing star is near.
Carry on, you're almost here

Far beyond the dark stream we'll meet again.
Across the wilderness and we will be home.

The longest journey of them all,
Has to be made all alone
A flame in the skyline reaching the stars
Guiding the seeker through the night!

Far beyond the dark stream we'll meet again.
Across the wilderness and we will be home.
Gather your strength, don't be afraid.
