SUOTANA - THROUGH THE MAMMOTH VALLEY
By the winds force
Horizontally blowing snow
Made it hard to see
But the journey was about to begin
And we have a long way to go
All the steps in the glacial snow
Disappear behind us
But don't look back
It's meaningless
There's no turning back
My pack, walk beside me
March with me to the mammoth valley
Where we used to be
Where we used to lie
This is the place
Where we once died...
Oh, can you see?
We have returned to our home
Where the green trees rise through the snow
The land enclosed by the highest hills
Guarded us from the outside world
For this last time
This was all I wanted to show
Our time once dried out
But still.. I want to believe
Many years ago
These lands were our home
These lakes and rivers
We've finally returned to our home
By the times force
Around the trees, a melting snow
Made it hard to live
And the new age was about to begin
We had a long way to go
All the steps in the fading snow
Disappear behind us
But don't look back
We need to live the dream
As long as it lasts!
My pack, one more time
March with me
Through the Mammoth Valley

SUOTANA - THE ANCIENT
Above calm river haze fills the air
This rainy season, unending
The gods of weathers, the immortal ones
On their thrones, the whole empire in their hands
The rumbling reed, rising fog
Increase the wind and the hiding storm
When the evil falls down these lands
The darkest hand carries us all
And the raven flies away
Far away from here
The ancient storm will soon blow snow
On these autumn lands
As the leaves from red to yellow
Brown to green, 'll be covered by snow
Icicles in the eaves
Reaching to the ground
Cabin's turf roof and log walls
The night frost make the trees bark
Barking in the night!
Carrion stuck in the ground
Vultures flying in a circle above
The ancient forest of the beasts and the brutes
The sparkling white topping made the red blood highlight
When the evil falls down these lands
The darkest hand carries us all
And the raven flies away
For the day to return
Darkened skies, withering stars
Winter defeats eternal fall
And the old pike changes region again..
The ancient storm will soon blow snow
On these autumn lands
As the leaves from red to yellow
Brown to green, 'll be covered by snow

SUOTANA - LEGACY
All you see here is what we have left
For them who'll follow us behind
No bird to sing from the highest tree
No silver flash at the spawnpit
From the bottom of the river
From the bottom of my heart
Show! Us the land and we shall follow
Signs! We were shown a thousand of times
Waves from the north!
They came and let us drown
In our legacy
Only by the winds and tales the story will be told
Of those who we managed to kill before the end of our own
No clatter of colliding skull and horns
No owl to huddle from it's coniferous dream
The creeping lynx's shadow while the bears roar
Just as if they really exist
Drainaged forests and swamps
Suffocating the streams of life
One by one they all will be gone
All the dwellers and wanderers
Miracles of life
Dead by the dawn where the sun no longer rises anymore
All the forests that have been cut down
Forest spirits, forever lost
All the rivers that have been dammed
By the great men of greed, together as none
You are nothing but a shame for us all
The burden of your heirs, the scourge of our time
Can you hear the waves?
We are standing at the edge of time
We are here to shed a tear
Before it all vanish away
We have waited for you
The genuine northern power!
I am the waves
At the edge of time
Show! Us the land and we shall follow
Signs! We were shown a thousand of times
Waves from the north!
They came and let us drown
In our legacy
This is our legacy..

SUOTANA - RIVER OUNAS
River
The stream of life
Brings us the hope and faith
Carries all of our sorrows away
At night the river so sincere
The moonlight reflects from its surface
So blank and so calm
Silence is here waiting for
The silver hordes from the downstream
We never gave up the hope
And we never will
The moonlight enlights their path
The journey that ends at the estuary gates of vanity
Where the lock is sealed by the steel and concrete
Where the river banks cry out for emptiness
The day will come and the flood
That vanishes all the filth and barriers on its way
And the chains are past
Two streams of kings
The forces unite
Unite as one to be
For the future to know
For the future to see
We are the future
And these rivers will be free
Two streams of kings
And the hordes from the north
Together to execute the justice
To increase the powers
All the way from the north
Let your water flow
Break all the chains
The time has come
My teary eyes
A gaze to the riverside
To be born into this legacy
Where the extinction is
A sign of victory
Where the egoism and selfishness is
A herd's principle
A gaze over the river valley
Where it all went wrong?
We are the one's in need
Without we don't exist
We were supposed to be sagacious
We are the sacrilege instead
The concrete walls
In the middle of the forestry stream
To kill species to extinction
Is all as you please
But one mystic night
I saw all four seasons
I heard the waves from the north
And I knew...
‘’The beauty of the colors of the leaves that are born and died
There was a winterstorm, still moss greenish
It all teemed before my eyes
The prophecy was finally coming true’’
The day will come and the flood
The flood of all times
That vanishes all the filth and barriers on its way
And the chains are past
Two streams of kings
The forces unite
Unite as one to be
For the future to know
For the future to see
We are the future
And these rivers will be free
Two streams of kings
And the hordes from the north
Together to execute the justice
To increase the powers
All the way from the north
Let your water flow
Break all the chains
The time has come
The time has come…now
Let the waves in
River Ounas calling me
To let it be free
River Ounas calling me
To eternity
We've took the advantage of these rivers
Without giving anything back
Year after year
Blindly believing in our purposes
Painted the picture like we wanted it to be, no
Forced the dwellers to retreat
From the villages that drowned
River Ounas, a vein of the land
Mourns its brothers destiny
A villages left under the water
Where the gallops and cries can still be heard
River Ounas calling me
To let it be free
River Ounas calling me
To eternity
River Ounas calling me
Let the waves in…
‘’Alavirrasta kohti yläjuoksua
Heidän matkansa oli tarkoitus viedä
Voimasta ja kunniasta
Tuo hopeinen voima jatkoi matkaansa
Matkaa joka alkoi tuhansien kilometrien takaa
Elämän jano ohjasi heidän kulkuaan
Vuosi vuoden jälkeen
Näin kului vuosisatoja
Sitten saapuivat miehet
Vuonna 1949
Pelkomme olivat toteutuneet
Kun betoniset portit sulkeutuivat edessämme
Onko tämä totta?
Sanat kaikuvat vieläkin rannoilla
Tämä joki on tehty kyynelistä
Ja kyyneleet tulevat virtaamaan’’
