Nightowl Lyrics - Singles - Darkwoods My Betrothed

Two eyes in darkness like two burning fires 

Still cold as a wintery lake 

The moon is hidden behind dark clouds 

Fluttering wings...the silence breaks 

I was walking on the edge of the forest 

When the eyes began to approach 

A while I just stood there watching 

The eyes coming close 

The owl she came onto my arm 

Her eyes starring deep into me 

Soon a shroud covered my eyes 

I could hear but I couldn't see 

"The time is close, o men of Karelia 

Men of pride, the time is near 

Soon thou will see a new god coming 

When snow falls he will be here 

Centuries to come will see his dominion 

His dominion that makes thee slaves 

Have not fear, it won't last forever 

The new dawn will hail thy father' gods again" 

At the very moment the last word was gone 

Returned my sight 

I saw no owl only heard a silent flutter 

From Tapio's realm, from the fading night 

As I walked away I thought: 

"It can't be true that a northern man 

Would lose his honour and be a slave 

Of a god from an unknown land......."
