[Intro: Iida Joutsen]

[Verse 1: Tomi Joutsen]
The moon used to rock my cradle at night
Twinkled the bells of the stars
Quivered the golden strands of my dreams
Whispered the Norns of my fate

[Chorus: Tomi Joutsen]
But I was born under a bad sign
At a bad time to a place even worse
In the blood of my father
I was baptised, bound to my sister, by crapes

[Post-Chorus: Iida Joutsen, Tomi Joutsen]
They took away my bright-eyed son
Robbed me of my fledgling young one (Fledgling young one)
Put him in chains and dragged him away
Took him to toil as a slave through his days

[Verse 2: Tomi Joutsen]
With two faces grinned the moon
The sun was casting strangе shadows
Many lives I fostered in mе
Many roads all leading to death

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus: Tomi Joutsen]
I was cursed to drown under
Under waves, condemned to burn in the flames
Hanged to a branch of an old oak
Shackled in fetters of iron forged
I'll raise the sword of my vengeance
And cry in the name of my father
To quicken my blood, whoa oh
And destroy all those who stand in my way

[Post-Chorus: Iida Joutsen, Tomi Joutsen]
Your quest for revenge will be your undoing
Drowned in the blood of your kin (Blood of your kin)
The avenging sword will break in two
Lulled by the dreams of Tuonela

[Outro]
Mustalla virralla veneeni keinuu
Helisevät tähtien hopeiset kellot
Värisevät elämän kultaiset langat
Kuiskivat kohtalon haltijat
