Reformation Lyrics
When I am broken, when I depart
When my eyes stray from yours
When I no longer know you, my love
When I am broken, when I depart
Fear not for me, weep not for me
For finally I am released
Fear not for me, weep not for me
To the heaven of all earths
I am released
When from my head my mane is torn
When my hair is blowing in solar wind
When into my eyes driven are the nails
When weighted boots march across my grave
Don’t you fear
When my eyes stray from yours
When I no longer know you, my love
When I am broken, when I depart
For finally I am released
Fear not for me, weep not for me
To the heaven of all earths
I am released
When my hair is blowing in solar wind
When into my eyes driven are the nails
When weighted boots march across my grave

'The Beginning of Times' the title of the 2011 album this song comes from is a concept album. The central character of the songs on it is 'Väinämöinen', described by the band as "the iconic hero of Finnish mythology". I believe this song is about how he meets his end of his reign as king. Defeated, he goes to the shores of the sea, where he sings for himself a boat, with which he sails away from the mortal realms. In his final words, he promises that there shall be a time when he shall return, when his crafts & might shall once again be needed.
