Eclipse lyrics by Amorphis

1. Two Moons

Spring came in one day The clouds in front of the moon Tore themselves to shreds So that two moons passed in one night Winter went and spring came And the clouds tore off their clothes Washed them in the rivers of rain And naked in the dark they stayed Waited for their cloaks to dry They darkened the face of the moon They would have tried to kill it If they could have reached that far As it spied on the clouds Theyīve taken off in the rivers of heaven Theyīve taken off

2. House Of Sleep

I will never sleep alone (never without you) Whatever you say to me I already know If I said something to you You would take those words Thereīs so much power in those words (You donīt know) You donīt know nothing yet About the dreams I have I will make you sleep (You donīt know) You donīt know nothing yet About the dreams I have Sleep is a house for lovers You will be the mistress (of that house) You will be given the wide belt And the big key to the gate If I said something to you You would take those words Thereīs so much power in those words

3. Leaves Scar

Fate changed Life healed like a wound How does the kind of life heal That leaves such a scar I cover myself, I uncover myself Now I know how to do things No longer will I listen to any talk Now I know and itīs working Everything hurts inside of me Out from the frozen lake She finally grew into her full might She grew from a tiny thing On this lake as I drove there to meet her

4. Born From Fire

I have a mind, a good memory Hereīs how my life begins I wasnīt born from a womanīs thighs But from fire I dwell on that dream I donīt want that to fade I keep that dream Until the axe does all that work I was kept under the table Raised from their sigh I was worthless till the day When flames did all the work On the day I was born They denied my rights Even the right to die

5. Under A Soil And Black Stone

No longer I was breathing No more bleeding Inside the urn Under a soil and black stone Under a soil and black stone And I was listening And felt no pain To the sunrise to east Iīll leave my grief To the stars shine Casting my eyes by the long nights Blessed I was To rest then Inside the urn Under a soil and black stone Soil upon me So fragile As a veil Without secrets The staring Space so wide

6. Perkele (The God Of Fire)

I, I woke up The God of fire woke me up At the edge of burning ground Iīm, Iīm damned To put out the fire My hand is a trap for that fire It wonīt surprise me in my dream My dream wakes me up, instantly Without a word my hand is a trap Trap for that fire I, I drown it with water I kill it on the spot It wonīt have time to run far It wonīt get away from me

7. The Smoke

In my dream smoke followed me As on fire the whole world had been To the yard I walked in Up the frontstep and opened the door Cranes flew over to the North As I walked on dry And passed through a grove Yellow with flowers They had been expecting me They said so and I believed Im my dream smoke came to me And we became as one I am smoke

8. Same Flesh

Thatīs what my sister says And during that day Came spring and summer Oh, when did you fly here? It was you I found The same flesh and blood (My flesh) It was you that I found (My blood) It was you that I met One just like me, same flesh and blood (My flesh) It was you that I found (My blood) It was you that I met One just like me, my flesh and blood A hard place, this world And nowhere else Does one make so many mistakes Whatīs done is done Done and gone The same flesh and blood

9. Brother Moon

Free flowing water The air is so warm It breathes for you It sees through you before the storm And if the lake canīt Be the sister To the moon To the river To the sun The leaves are falling Cutting the moonlight They brake the waves Gazing to the stars And if the lake canīt Be the sister To the moon To the river To the earth I know I wouldnīt be strong Wouldnīt be brother to the moon I know I wouldnīt be strong Wouldnīt be sister to the woods Here is another soul Another path Another God

10. Empty Opening

A beautiful day when itīs over Clouds high up in the sky A beautiful day when itīs over Nobody will bury me In this wicked world the war I live In this wicked world to war I go Hereīs my good life, best I ever have How did I get here Beautiful yard, trees against the sky There is an empty opening They only live for one summer This world is too good for me

11. Stone Woman [Bonus Track]

You have a woman here One made of stone You made her for yourself You piled her up Made a stone face Stone fingers and eyes Thereīs no room beside her For another woman A live and breathing one It makes me sad to see You have made a woman Out of rocks and wood Grasses and tree bark To lie beside you, beside you I made that stone woman For you to see me and say I am here
