Перевод песни Amorphis - Halo

The sea rose and fell
The waves were crashing
Thrashing a piece of wood against the rocks.
The surf took it ashore
A strange stick I found
To pick up and ponder and turn in my hands

A white raven's skull
Fashioned by time and tide
And its gnarly lines
Furrowed by stone

[Chorus:]
I put together a halo
Out of pieces of amber
Carved my own marks
(With a knife of bone)
In the middle of the halo
I placed the raven's skull
Drew wings with charcoal
(Painted a bird in ash)

The bird took wing and flew
A raven cried in the wind
The images washed away by the sea
Drawn by daylight's quill
Embraced by the woods
In the shadow of the twilight

A sign lingered in my mind
Halo behind my eyes
Picture of amber bright
Glowing with bronze

[Chorus: 2x]
I put together a halo
Out of pieces of amber
Carved my own marks
(With a knife of bone)
In the middle of the halo
I placed the raven's skull
Drew wings with charcoal
(Painted a bird in ash)
