amorphis – under the red cloud lyrics
[verse 1]
i retired to a towering mountain
laid down in a circle of stones
for three days and for three nights
i listened to the skull of a bear
the sun burnt its sigil into my chest
the rain washed the evil away
time spun itself around me
the moon cast its silvery shell
[chorus 1]
i rose up in circle of stones
made my way down in the valley
followed the banks of a rushing river
to a shore of an icy sea
[post-chorus]
the great bear growled
the thunder spoke
the mountain shook
the skies lit up
[verse 2]
they came carrying their torches
appeared from the desolate dark
approached me circling and swirling
howling their battle-cries
that’s when the bear was born in me
it rose on its legs beside
from a distance the crack of thunder
and the red cloud swallowed the sky
[chorus 1]
i rose up in circle of stones
made my way down in the valley
followed the banks of a rushing river
to a shore of an icy sea
[chorus 2]
and in the furthest corner of the north
on the edge of the world we know
with open arms embracing them
and i bared them my heart of hearts
[outro]
under the red cloud
under the red cloud
