Seven Roads Come Together Lyrics
Stepping out in to the open
From the dark paths of the forest
You will know why you have traveled
Squinting your eyes in the light
When the sky arches above you
And the wood rustles and sighs
You are born into another place
Arrive in another time
Place your gifts on that stone
With a drop of your blood
Where seven roads come together
Offer a gift of honey
Give the fruits of your ghost
Where seven roads come together
You will see the silent meadow
Where seven roads come together
Shining calmly like a distant star
Where seven roads come together
You will see in the crossroads
A stone carried by ice
Rolled by waters of the past
Set in its place by time
Place your gifts on that stone
With a drop of your blood
Where seven roads come together
Offer a gift of honey
Give the fruits of your ghost
Where seven roads come together
When the shadows of the forest
Have led you astray
Remember that you've been in this place
When the shadows of the forest
Have led you astray
Remember that you've been in this place
When the sky arches above you
And the woods rustle and sighs
You are born into another plane
Arrive in another time
Place your gifts on that stone
Where seven roads come together
Offer a gift of honey
Where seven roads come together
Come together
Where seven roads come together
From the dark paths of the forest
You will know why you have traveled
Squinting your eyes in the light
And the wood rustles and sighs
You are born into another place
Arrive in another time
With a drop of your blood
Where seven roads come together
Offer a gift of honey
Give the fruits of your ghost
Where seven roads come together
Where seven roads come together
Shining calmly like a distant star
Where seven roads come together
A stone carried by ice
Rolled by waters of the past
Set in its place by time
With a drop of your blood
Where seven roads come together
Offer a gift of honey
Give the fruits of your ghost
Where seven roads come together
Have led you astray
Remember that you've been in this place
Have led you astray
Remember that you've been in this place
And the woods rustle and sighs
You are born into another plane
Arrive in another time
Where seven roads come together
Offer a gift of honey
Where seven roads come together
Where seven roads come together

"Is the road thither a long one? Is it difficult to find? Oh, the distance is great, but all roads lead to that land. You may arrive there quickly, in a day, in an hour, perhaps even in a twinkling of an eye--and quite before you expect." is an excerpt from the book 'Nordic Hero Tales from the Kalevala' by James Baldwin (a collection of awe-inspiring stories from Finnish mythology). This excerpt in particular to me sums up the inspiration & intonation of this track. Like all Amorphis songs, the Kalevala (national epic poem of Finland) is the basis from which most of their songs incite.
