Bjørkø: Whitebone Wind featuring Marko Hietala and Petronella Nettermalm
(Lyrics: Jussi Ahlroth, Music: Tomi Koivusaari)
Across the plains the wind is wailingBonecold air the frost is whispering
It chills the heart, the shine on the wind
Bright as morning burns the light
Bitter torrent, blazing bonewhite
Razorlight on the naked wind
From the stars the wind is howling
Frozen suns, shining dark
From the stars the wind is screamingPiercing my eyes
Cold as night
It shines like a bone
Colder the light
On shimmering skyroads
There’s a light that awaits
It cuts us all alone
It is ice, it is rawA wintry glow
It’s just an echoThe Whitebone Wind
The icy spine of sky is tearing
A stream of light is bleak and searing
A frostburned heart, turns into bone
To the cold wind I won’t go gently I rage against the silence in meIn the end, the only voice is bone
From the stars the wind is howling
Frozen suns, shining dark
From the stars the wind is screamingTears in my eyes
Cold as night
It shines like a bone
Colder the light
On shimmering skyroads
There’s a light that awaits
It cuts us all alone
It is ice, it is rawA wintry stormIt’s just an echoThe Whitebone Wind
