Latin lyrics adapted from the Requiem mass
To break up /
through
wrestling like a bull,
fellowship in
laughing,
cunning,
beginning
I SAY,
to work wonders!
Living on an
equality
to offer as an
expiatory sacrifice
to take / to receive
tending mothers
new and sparkling,
Astral Works
with all the gloss
on a complaining,
lamentation
one guilty of violence
melt away
one that watches /
one that looks
after things,
fulfillment /
completion
come to being
to be burnt to ashes,
to let loose / release
causing quick
and easy birth /
fertilizing power.

Swear accordingly.
With seven beds
of seven lances
on seven hills,
born in
the seventh month,
seven stringed
with seven paths,
with seven gates,
with seven walls,
seven toned,
seven voiced
in seven parts.

Ancient Greek lyrics: Ilmari Kavén
Lights of Prague / And in His Eyes I Saw Death /
Black and White Finland
Streets all straight up
in line,
the glory above,
the past on the side.
Lights of Prague
still smiling
through Slavic eyes
of wisdom
that won’t regret at all.

Ancient Greek lyrics: Ilmari Kavén
”And in His Eyes I Saw Death” inspired by the
Ejnar Nielsen painting: Og i hans øjne så jeg døden
creeps secretly up to
hide in darkness
gladdening
the heart of men
born to misery
having become
slaves.
Rising of
heavenly bodies,
daybrake,
come to light
shiny white
bringing light
food for men.

Lyrics: Juho Koivuaho
Il valzer del capolavoro
Ruumiillistuman koteloituminen
Music: Juho Koivuaho
Oh, vessillo glorioso
io ti adoro.
Stupendo stendardo
sei il magnifico.
Tu sei il mio orgoglio,
mi dondolo con te.
Sei il mio bastone,
io nel mio viaggio
tutto traballa
e il futuro incerto.
Dolce attrezzo,
la menta e il rosmarino.
Capolavoro!
Senza di te
non sarei niente,
senza di te
non saprei come fare.
Capolavoro,
mio capolavoro!
Oh, mia spada,
capolavoro!
Mano ti tengo, forte.
Non ho paura di niente!

receive

to fight one
with another
to hate bitterly
to be at loss how.
