From Earth I Rose

Darkness was my light Muteness was my tongue Death was my life Matter was my spirit I am a brother to the fire To fire a brother I am From breast of maidens three I drank the black milk Devoured the white milk I swallowed the red milk Brother to the fire I am Brother to the fire I’ve lain in the dark bowels Bowels of this marshland Dead beneath the soil Under the waters Oblivious to all Devoid of all knowing --- From Earth I Rose - Amorphis
