Tuonela Lyrics

"Sorrow is my bread 

And tears I drink as wine 

Oblivion my happiness 

Ground under teeth of time 

For cold be the stone 

When frost be devoured the land 

Consolation is no gift 

Of winter's icy hand 

Upon a crust of snow 

I'll lay my broken frame 

What steel and iron won't take 

I'll give in winter's name 

No good a sullen soul no use a simple knave 

No groom for brides of plaited hair 

This man old and lame 

If only I could breathe 

To see the sun of may 

but still longer are the nights than days 

As I wither away 

Came the man of crown 

With sound of war drums beat 

Said no sword arm's strong enough 

Without my two good feet 

But not overlooked am I 

In eyes of the maid I'll wed 

I'll reap the crops of Tuonela 

My bride's wealth in death 

"
