Kiuas - From the Anchorage Lyrics

Steadfast, unyielding she ploughs through the waves
In the wake of heroes of old
Braving the tempest and Ukko's embrace
For a promise in visions once foretold

Caressed by the vast unknown
Reciting the mariner's poem

We leave on the shore our scars and failures, useless prayers
As we head for the great unknown waters
And as each moment we die
And are reborn every time
As the tales we believed of our fate now unweaved

But through our poems and songs - gateways to worlds unreal
Where the infinite mind has no boundaries
We are immortal, unflawed, mighty, graceful and calm
At least until we must return

Her hull creaks and groans but holds firm through the blaze
Relentless hands grasping the helm
At the mercy of Ahti and Vellamo's grace
Oath-bound, blessed and condemned

The ocean's boundless might
Shall our future rewrite

As we leave on the shore our scars and failures, useless prayers
As we head for the great unknown waters
And as each moment we die
And are reborn every time
As the tales we believed of our fate now unweaved

But through our poems and songs - gateways to worlds unreal
Where the infinite mind has no boundaries
We are immortal, unflawed, mighty, graceful and calm
At least until we must return

Our scars and failures, useless prayers
As we head for the great unknown waters
And as each moment we die
And are reborn every time
As the tales we believed of our fate now unweaved

Through our poems and songs - gateways to worlds unreal
Where the infinite mind has no boundaries
We are immortal, unflawed, mighty, graceful and calm
At least until we must return
At least until we must return
