From Afar Lyrics

Lyric discussion by GeoffJesterPemberton 

@TheTrooper1138: You're thinking of the wrong mythology. This song appears to be in direct reference to the Kalevala, particularly the poem 'Felling and Sowing" The bridge is taken directly from the Kalevala (wrongly might I add) The correct lines areas follows:

The sky's bird struck fire made a flame flare up The north wind burnt the clearing the north-east quite consumed it: it burnt all the trees to ash reduced them to dust.

My Interpretation

Thank you, very helpful! And yes, I knew it wasn't a Ragnarok song. No talk of Odin's battle or anything. Also, I posted these based on copies I was listening to on Youtube. :P The quality was less than adequate.
