lyrics

"Käreitär! Kettunen emuu! Käreitär! Olen täällä!"

Night sky is tinted with sparks of fire
Spirits look amazed at her fiery walking
Through the forests and the snow-covered lands
Her passing is marked, in the celestial sphere
Arctic enchantments infesting the realm of Ukko
And the eyes of the dead, rising from the ground
It's the vision born from the black fox's tail
And even cruel Kalma and Tuoni, surrender to the Bliss

"Käreitär! Kettunen emuu! Käreitär! Olen täällä!"

Upon the Hiisi Castles, veiled in snow
Trees chant the apparition of the endless flying flames
Dancing in strange harmony with the stars
And among them the eyes of Mother Käreitär stand
She watches her lonely daughter, the Tulikettu
Howling and shooting her fires in the night
Revontulet, the enchantment of the fox fires
A thousand swords of burning light dissolving the dark!

"Käreitär. Mother. You blessed me with solitude...
Käreitär. Mother. You blessed me with cold...
Käreitär. Mother. You blessed me with magic...
Käreitär. Mother. Watch me blessing the night."

Whispers resonate and echo in the air
It's the silent voice of trees and leaves, watching
The nightly magic, evolving in the sky
They witness as it illuminates a new figure standing

A man it is, walking through the winter night
He's struggling against the fury of ice and wind
He's firmly holding a spear, its blade is shining
By the cold crystal light of the Revontulet

He's a hunter, standing before the fox's den
Created and hidden by her in warm earth, under snow
Now she comes out, woken by the man
That stands in front of her, with the spear held high in hand

AAAAAHHHH!! In her heart! Came the blade! Of the spear!
He's so proud! Skinning her corpse! Under moon! Shining now with funeral light!

Silently in the woods, snow begins to burn emanating a strange glow. It melts, it moves, it merges with earthen flesh, forming a strange hole. It is a womb, powered by the magic of the Hiisi, standing at the birth. Flesh, entrails and fur generate from the fire womb. Finally, she's born, again, laid in a bed of leaves and ashes. The new cycle of the Tulikettu... yes...

"Käreitär... mother. You blessed me with death!"

"Olen täällä! Olen täällä! Käreitär... äiti..."
