lyrics

Since the ancient times the enchanted fire's light
Was the only protection in this haunted night
When the beings that once were lurking in the dark
Wake up so that they can leave the secret forest's heart

They must be kept enthralled by the flames
So that they'll leave behind their wrath and hate

The distant howls of wolves and the screams of circling crows
Accompany the wandering of restless souls
As bloodred moon shows itself when clouds move aside
It shrouds the world in its cold and otherworldly shine

Bonfire must be set up for the honour of the dead
So that they'll return back to their peaceful rest

Deep in the woods a fire lit up in the name
Of creatures that now gather up to dance around its flames
Folk of the forest crawl out from their hidden caves
While ancient spirits rise up from their long-forgotten graves

As the presence of gods is shown through raging wind and pouring rain
I can feel the blood of my ancestors running wildly through my veins
For once they explored this land and fought for ages to make it thrive
So nothing can waver our will to defend this all with honour and pride

The magic of this night has given us new hope
That like our forebears we'll defeat our foes
The darkness in the woods awakens our inner beasts
And the calling of the moonlight will make them all unleashed

We have gained the ancient fire's might
Inside our hearts flares its eternal light
