Amberian Dawn
Finnish band Amberian Dawn is going to release their new album 30.1.2008. You can download and listen to one of the songs that will be on the CD on the site (just click download under "kuuntele").
To be honest I like this a lot more than the new nightwish.
Here are the words:
Amberian Dawn: River of Tuoni
"River of Tuoni"
Along the black death-land river
The mother runs and tries to find her son.
Searching for her lost hero she wades the river deep
to her belt in mud.
Oh! Heavy-hearted am I
-Tuoni has taken my son!
Oh! Heavy-hearted am I
-Tuoni has taken my son!
Fear in her heart she calls her son,
as she rakes the Tuoni river and sees the black swan.
Now she wades the river deeper to deathlands shoals and shallows
and finds her son.
Oh! Heavy-hearted am I
- Tuoni has taken my son!
Oh! Heavy-hearted am I
-Tuoni has taken my son!
From wikipedia:
Tuonela
Main article: Tuonela
The land of the dead in Finnish mythology is Tuonela or Manala. In most traditions tuonela existed underground or under the bottom of lake. It could also exist at the other side of a dark river. Tuonela was a dark and lifeless place, where the dead were in a state of eternal sleep. Shamans were sometimes able to reach the spirits of their dead ancestors by traveling to Tuonela in a state of trance created by rituals. He had to make his way over the Tuonela river by tricking the ferryman. While in Tuonela, the shaman had to be careful not to get caught. The living were not welcome in Tuonela. Shamans who were caught could end up decaying in the stomach of a giant pikefish with no hope of returning to normal life. If the shaman died during the trance ritual, it was believed that he got caught by the Tuonela guards.
