Amorphis - The Skull lyrics

Carried by restless winds Under the crimson cloud I sailed the purple waves Aboard my comely ship The ship was adorned with banners With flags dedicated for me A spirit summoned to its sails Emblems painted with blood The evening came, the night fell The moon rose, circled the island And all around me The starry skies glittered in the water I asked for his holy words Besought his sage advice I bowed to the skull of the bear I prayed for the spirit of god I asked for his holy words And my heart began to sing To the beat of the heavenly drum And I prayed for the spirit of god The ship it plotted my course Evaded the rocks and shoals It brought me to an island On the shore of a sacred place I climbed the side of the mountain Made my way up, up the craggy slope And on the top on a field of jagged rocks I met a hallowed god The wind it sang, the ship it rocked White-crested waves they knew my course As I fell to restless sleep I wandered to a time that’s yet to come I asked for his holy words Besought his sage advice I bowed to the skull of the bear I prayed for the spirit of god I asked for his holy words And my heart began to sing To the beat of the heavenly drum And I prayed for the spirit of god I met a hallowed god I met a hallowed god
