Lirieke: Ensiferum. Victory Songs. One More Magic Potion.

Once when we were returning from a battle
We got lost in a gloomy forest
In the middle of the woods we saw an old house
With tired minds we knocked the door very loudly

Old woman opened the wooden door
She asked us to come in with kind words
From her pot arose a scent so weird
Stunning and bitter but very summoning

Bring me a magic potion it will heal my aching wounds
A taste so bitter that makes my bleeding soul feel so good
It will make us sing and dance in our endless feast
Or it might even unleash the beast in me

She filled out pints with that devil's beverage
And served another round with a hideous grin
The world was spinning in a new light I saw
Everything and everyone was singing this song

With nature, trolls and the spirits of the forest
We are one; let our singing rise up into the stars
The witch's magic drum was still beating hard
When a goblin brought me a new pint and together we roared

Drink and dance people of the forest sing with us
Who wants to brawl with me?
Who can shape a kantele from a pike's jaw?
Like the great one once did

Close your eyes calm your mind and drift away from the pain
Beyond dreams into the depths of the cauldron
Like a rain it falls and mirrors nature's healing powers
Surrender this time and relief you shall find

Catcher of souls hunter of spirits
Grant us the final drop of the life's elixir
I want to drown all my misery into the green trolls blood
And brown swamp drink fight against diminishing time
Burden of a solitary warrior's life
