What do you think these lyrics mean?
This song reminds me of Leminkainen from the Kalevala but I’m not sure if that was the band’s intention.
Anyway, here’s the lyrics:
“Into Hiding” by Amorphis
The islander slips into hiding And takes to his heels Out of dark Northland The murky house of Sara He whirled out of doors as snow Arrives as smoke in the yard To flee from bad deeds
There he had to become someone else He must change his shape As an eagle he swept up Wanted to soar heavenward The sun burnt his cheeks The moon lit his brows
It indeed sounds like something from a mythology. Try posting it in R&S, maybe one of the Heathens will recognise it.
