Ensiferum
Old Man (Väinämöinen)
So much further off than time could reach
Today it would be too late
So much despair he has bled
But will he wither away

No one knows that you must keep
This Old Man wide awake
'Cause no one knows that he could feed
Our lives with a brighter flame

Hush little dreamer, the bearer of light
Has come to set you free
Now little dreamer at last you can sigh
'Cause the nightmares will be released

Sweeter far than life I found that love was
Sweeter far than love to die as he did

Sweeter far than life I found that love was
Sweeter far than love to die as he did

Hush little dreamer, the bearer of light
Has come to set you free
Now little dreamer at last you can sigh
'Cause the nightmares will be released
The stars fell from the nightsky
As he reached his hands in the air

As the sun peeked between the trees
The Old Man burst to tears

Sweeter far than life I found that love was
Sweeter far than love to die as he did
