Curse Still Lingers On
Boat from the north lands to shores Its passenger is filled with ill omen Sort of miracle she yet lives; her health is in great disarray In great pain she stood and ask "Might I be able to meet the one Who knows hexes and curses?" Person in presence points the way "There is one well known witch Mad with her crazed delusions Be forewarned, by-passers there Are not kindly taken" In desperate state she moves on Ignoring the warnings she needs to hear With pained steps the travel begins Towards salvation or doom still grieving North girl's life in peril The curse still lingers on Even sailed far from home The pain still consumes her away Darkened shack is in the sight Only to unwelcome anyone near As the poor girl leans closer it's resident instantly is aware Out came witch with blabbering rant Yelling chantings and forebodings Regret is shown on girl's face Escape now or to oblivion perish! North girl's life in peril The curse still lingers on Even sailed far from home The pain forever consumes her away Far she managed to run But solution to her woe is out of reach In gloom she wonders back to boat Until someone from behind arrives It's the witch from the shack My curse led her to me "I feel the vexing plague in you To grab hold on you deadly tight So anything you do to try to ease the pain Only strengthens the hold Way to be released is to Endure until your life is nigh” With these words witch flies away Leaving girl in desperate state Travels to south for nothing Is like forceful blow to the gloomy face In defeat she arrives to her boat Setting sails back to north In anemic mind she frowns Until the boat in fog vanishes away

From the thick woods I emerge In search for sanctuary well known That is connected for ghostly entities Whom I can have with chosen words Winds howling through the woods Whispers the way for the holy ground With certainty I move on Nature tremble before my resolve Determination unbreakable While keeping on with this battered soul Until now I've been marked blasphemer By all who judge harshly my means I sense sanctuary nearby My journey nearing to its end But in my utter surprise I see ongoing bloody massacre Winds howling through the woods Howling the names of the fallen ones With uncertainty I press on I tremble with shattered resolve Memories completely broken down But for my goal I won't back down Slaughter is ruthless even for crusaders Blood and corpse is overflowing on sight In gruesome truth The massacre before me Is for these crusader's purpose: Sanctuary is for their conquest Natives brought no resistance But it didn't matter to holy knights Their unending lust for murder Is excuse for unfathomable bloodlust When body count stopped Crusaders frenzy comes to halt Men blessed with heavenly veil Is now leaving colored thorough red Winds breezing through the woods Silently weeps for the departed souls I shall depart these lands in defeat As a witness for this brutal slaughter I spread the events far and wide And damn the ones allied with the faith

Ilta hämärtyy maillahamme Järven rannalle keräännymme Taivaaseen katse käy Kun aurinko taakse puiden katoaa Väri maailman tummaksi muuttuu Ja elämä kotohinsa sulkeutuu Oottaen päivän uuden sarastavan Joten rauha matkallemme taattu on Tyyni peilipinta eessämme On paikka minne haemme mennä Kokeakseen sen mielentilan Kun sielustamme irrotaan Pimeys vihdoin on saapunut Soihdun valossa katsomme Kun järven alta meitä kutsuu Pääsy kohti tuonelaa Niin valmistumme matkaan Voimalla hengen ja ruumiin Koska kun lähtö alkaa Kenties kukaan ei palaa Loveen lankeaa miehen kööri Kohti pohjaa painumaan Hapettomuuden keskellä vajotaan Tietämättä pituuden matkasta Hetki taipaleemme alusta Ennen pahimman kohtaamista Hohto näkyy selvästi allamme; Pääsy tuonelaan järven pohjasta Lähellä on jo matkamme pää Vaan heti pahin jo käy toteen Matkalaisista suuri moni Saa paikkansa pysyvän tuonelaan Viimeisillä hengellään muut uivat Kohti pintaa ja loppuelämää Portti allamme valollansa Himmenee ja lopulta katoaa Järven ranta tyhjä on Ja vetten pinta vielki tyyni Rannalla soihdut yksinään Räiskyivät aamunvalkeaan Kukaan ei pinnan alta palannut Vain hiljainen ja sieluton aamu Ja toteutetusta matkasta jää Vain hukkuneena järven pohja

In these woods tells a mystical tale As a warning to stay away such place For that place has vanished some people Who have never returned to land of the living It's an enchanted site for poor souls That imprisons them for eternity Some say there may be a way To escape such stranding place These methods are still yet to be proven As the warnings steered wanderers away But little did we know, fate intervenes again And brings forth the perfect victim for the cause From nearby the couple arrives to place Daring the warnings for getting lost Fair lady sights the magpie in the skies Gliding its way to the accursed woods Following the bird brings them the doom For that forewarned inescapable end As they creep closer to that place The surrounding is beginning to change Feels like the whole world has frozen still As no bird sings or the trees don't feel breeze Little by little, the world starts to tilt All the way around to be upside down The couple is now trapped in alluring plains For them, all hope is now entirely lost Suddenly from nowhere, ghostly words echo To tell the method to return back from there "Undress thineselves and inwards clothe again" Is what they heard echoes tell Man with no hesitation does as told But fair lady declines such method For her yet to wed herself to her man Is to remain unseen until that time comes In regret, they are separated in folly They each have in their perspectives As he returns back from frozen world Man sees the stump in place of his lady In sorrow, he descends to hug and weep For the error he engraved himself in
