The Skyforger album is about Ilmarinen from Kalevala. This song focuses on Runo 10. In Runo 7, Väinämöinen is told that, to win the Maiden of Pohjola, he must forge the Sampo (a gold and silver mill that provides prosperity to the land in which it is held). Returning home, he asks Ilmarinen to forge the Sampo, since the latter is the master smith. Ilmarinen refuses to travel to Pohjola to do so, but Väinämöinen conveys him there through magic (the first verse). The chorus describes how the Sampo is forged, and verse 2 refers to what happens after.
