    AMORPHIS LYRICS

    My Kantele (1997)

    1. My Kantele (Acoustic)
    2. The Brother Slayer
    3. The Lost Son (The Brother Slayer Part II)
    4. Levitation
    5. And I Hear Your Call

    1. My Kantele (Acoustic)

    Truly they lie, they talk utter nonsense


    Who say that music reckon that the kantele
    Was fashioned by God
    Out of a great pike's shoulders
    From a water-dog's hooked bones:
    It was made from grief

    It's belly out of hard days


    Its sound board from endless woes
    Its strings gathered from torments
    And it pegs from other ills
    Truly they lie, they talk utter nonsense

    So it will not play, will not rejoice at all


    Music will not play to please
    Give off the right sort of joy
    For it was fashioned from cares
    Mouldered from sorrow

    2. The Brother Slayer

    Where have you been, where have you been


    my son, my merry son?
    On the seashore, on the seashore
    mother, my darling one.

    And what have you been doing there


    my son, my merry son?
    I have been watering my horse
    mother, my darling one.
    Why is there blood upon your feet
    my son, my merry son?
    My horse stamped with its iron shoe
    mother, my darling one.

    Why there is blood upon your sword


    my son, my merry son?
    I have stabbed my brother to death
    mother, my darling one.

    What now of you, where will you go


    my son, my wretched son?
    To other lands to foreign lands
    my dame, my darling one.

    When will you be returning home


    my son, my wretched son?
    When all the world to judgement comes
    my dame, my darling one.

    3. The Lost Son (The Brother Slayer Part II)

    [Instrumental]

    4. Levitation

    [Hawkwind cover]

    In the darkness I will shine, cast no shadows, not define


    I walk on water, float on air, there's no other to compare
    I have this fascination, no cause for deviation
    It's called levitation

    There's no cause to start and scream, nor rub your eyes,


    This is no dream

    Although I sit upon this chair, I rise and float up in the air
    I have this fascination, no cause for deviation
    It's called levitation
    Magnetic force, repel-attract, once it starts, there's no turning back
    I offer you this chance to learn, take it now there's no return
    5. And I Hear Your Call

    [Kingston Wall cover]

    I must be out of my mind as I hear you call


    My name is even though I can't see you anywhere

    Surely this feeling must be coming from something


    Someone gave me yesterday as I searched for you

    And I hear you call


    I hear you call my name
    But when I turn around
    There's nothing to be found

    I must be dreaming a dream of a lunatic


    My fingers taste like some strawberry ice-cream

    I hear you call my name but I don't think it's


    The same I heard you whisper in my ear
