TURISAS LYRICS
"The Heart of Turisas" (2001 EP)
1. The Heart of Turisas
2. Till the Last Man Falls
3. Those Were the Days
1. The Heart of Turisas
At the tables of the North
Man is used to blizzards and storms
Their arms are tempered by the work of their swords
Gallantness and faith fills their hearts
The heart of Turisas was forged by four winds
In a smithy high up in the skies
On an anvil of honour, with a hammer of blood
The four winds pounded
The heart of Turisas was forged by four winds
In a smithy high up in the skies
On an anvil of courage, with a hammer of sweat
The four winds pounded
Over vast steppes
Horsemen ride for day and night
With honour and glory in their minds
The Eastmen ride
Under the sun
The soldiers of the South sing their songs
Endless scorching deserts
Have trained these men
Take this sign into Your heart and be brave
Let it lead You to Your glory or Your grave
Today
Hear Me, My warriors
Soldiers from all the edges of the world
Let us join Our forces
To an army, united
The four winds guide Us
The heart of Turisas leads Our way
Our drums echo: Forward march
Our horns cry for victory
Beyond the ocean
The warriors of the West bend their bows
In the name of the Eagle
These brave men fight
The heart of Turisas was forged by four winds
In a smithy high up in the skies
On an anvil of glory, with a hammer of tears
The four winds pounded
2. Till the Last Man Falls
Far away, Beyond the bay
Rugged hills tower over the woods
A fort stands steadfastly on each top
No pinewood this enchanting at night,
Nor water so blue or bright
This is the land of the Fenns
Once the trees were as old as the world
Whole Tavastia was quiet and tranquil
Now those days have gone by
Left: mourning and loud war cries
A chain of six bonfires blaze
People start running back and forth
In these distant towns of North
Hundreds of years We’ve fought
Thousands of men dropped their sword
‘til the last man falls - We vow
Blow Your horns, Prepare for war
War ships float towards the town
With crosses sewed on their sails
The huge fort gates are boomed
The ones left outside are doomed
United agaist the cross We stand
Suddenly all the people fell quiet
The cloudless heavens turned scarlet
Drumskins strongly boomed from the skies
The signs of warfare were infront of our eyes
See the battle raging - Grab Your sword
A distant thunder rumbling - Bend your bows
The great arrows fly, Stallions whine
Long chains creak, Heath echoing
Finally the victory is achieved
Last enemies retreat
Much blood have been spilled
Hundreds of men been killed
Cheering and celebrating can be heard
Far away, Beyond the bay
Rugged hills tower over the woods
A fort stands steadfastly on each top
When will the old Gods fall?
For how long will the spirit live on?
United against the cross we stand
3. Those Were the Days
Once upon a time there was a tavern,
Where we used to raise a glass or two,
Remember how we laughed away the hours,
Think of all the great things we would do.
Those were the days my friend,
We thought they'd never end,
We'd sing and dance for ever and a day.
We'd live the live we'd choose,
We'd fight and never lose,
For were young and sure to have our way....
La La La La La La, La La La La La La
Just tonight I stood before the tavern,
Nothing seemed the way it used to be,
In the glass I saw a strange reflection,
Was that lonely fellow really me?
Those were the days my friend,
We thought they'd never end,
We'd sing and dance for ever and a day.
We'd live the live we'd choose,
We'd fight and never lose,
For were young and sure to have our way....
La La La La La La, La La La La La La
Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name,
Oh, my friends we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same...
Those were the days my friend,
We thought they'd never end,
We'd sing and dance for ever and a day.
We'd live the live we'd choose,
We'd fight and never lose,
For were young and sure to have our way....
La La La La La La, La La La La La La
