Amorphis - Tuonela Lyrics






Sorrow is my bread
And tears I drink as wine
Oblivion my happiness
Ground under teeth of time

For cold be the stone
When frost devoured the land
Consolation is no gift
Of winter's icy hand

[Chorus:]
Upon a crust of snow
I'll lay my broken frame
What steel and iron won't take
I'll give in winter's name
No good a sullen soul, no use for simple knave
No groom for brides of plaited hair
This man old and lame

If only I could breathe
To see the sun of may
but still longer are the nights than days
As I wither away

Came the man of crown
With sound of war drums beat
Said no sword arm's strong enough
Without my two good feet

[Chorus]

But not overlooked am I
In eyes of the maid I'll wed
I'll reap the crops of Tuonela
My bride's wealth in death

  10. J.... D....

    Funny thing my fav genre of metal is Death Metal. You would think Id prefer the really early Amorphis but this is my fav album by them. Pushed properly they could have been huge and still could be in /north America if a bigger Rock or metal band took them on tour. Ive played this album for people not into metal and they like it a lot.

  11. A.... ....

    One of best Amorphis songs

    A.... ....

    9 sene boyunca şifrem olarak kullandım ben Tuonelayı, ah eski günler...

  18. L.... ....

    This is my favourite Amorphis song. I am not a big fan of current era although I think Tomi J. is the best Amorphis vocalist ever. Still... the best music was made when Tomi K. and Pasi were doing vocals. Pasi's voice fits perfectly to this era of Amorphis. It is a shame when everything went as it went.

    L.... ....

    This is the Amorphis song. Came back to it every now and then for nothing

  19. M.... M....

    a.... d....

    explain us your intempretation pls, i'm intresting about

    a.... d....

    It's about an old pauper that goes to war for his king in winter and gets killed and is waiting to work the fields of tuonela (or hell if you wish to call it that)... no good a sullen soul no use a simple knave, no groom for brides of plaited hair this man old man lame... should say enough

    a.... d....

    a.... d....

    This song talks about Ilmarinen, from the Kalevala, the epic finish mitology.

    One of their best albums.

  47. E.... K....

    Perfect.

  48. C.... A....

    This song's lyrics remind me things from the past that I tried to forget. It's like endless way. And the end part of the music mess my mood up.. I think the final part of the song should be longer.

  49. S.... O....

    FİNLANDİYANIN EN İYİ GRUBUUUUUUUUUU......

  57. J.... ....

    If only I could breathe to see the sun of May

  58. i.... ....

    the "piano & saxophone" part in the end is the most emotional, gloomy music ever...love it...
