Ilmarinen's lament

Oh your eyes are so blue
They could double as diamonds
Cut a tango out of turku
And stand in for the sky
But your heart is so cold
It could storm troop karelia
Put a plague on every house
And a smile in every lie

I forged you from magic metal
A molten stream made you flesh
Composed you fresh from the earth
From silver, love and gold
But your icy breath of sorrow
Has poisoned my tomorrow
Shot my veins full of venom
Nd stilled me with cold

Oh my heart is so blue
It could cry you a river
Cry you a kalevala, cry you this song
And my fingers are so frozen
They could snap like carrots
Slap down the sun
And make night all day long

For your soul is so white
It could stand in for winter
Fill in for the snow and see
The wheat through to spring
Your sex is a stone
And your blood will never sing
I made my hell when I made you
And gave you that ring

Yes, I gave you life, metal maiden
But you will not be my missus
So tearing the heart out of my chest
Now is my one and only wish
But my hands have gone numb
From the ice in your kisses
So the sea will be my bride
I’ll lay me down with the fish
