I was born as all the world here was born
As tones, words and stories of the primeval song
I need no bow, I need no sword
My kingship’s known to gods
Let their song go on
I need you to be the guide
The mirror to the sky and sea
Portray all above and below
The gate of life and death
The sea of my loneliness
It needs to have a sky
To go with my story
I also need to have your words
Like a king has his moon
A queen has her sun
To make the song go on
Make the song go on
The creator of gods
Make the song go on and on
On and on
Be my guide of life and death
As tones, words and stories of the primeval song
I need no bow, I need no sword
My kingship’s known to gods
Let their song go on
I need you to be the guide
The mirror to the sky and sea
Portray all above and below
The gate of life and death
The sea of my loneliness
It needs to have a sky
To go with my story
I also need to have your words
Like a king has his moon
A queen has her sun
To make the song go on
Make the song go on
The creator of gods
Make the song go on and on
On and on
Be my guide of life and death

The 'Kalevala' (a Finnish epic compiled of old ballads & poems) is I believe what inspired this song. This song is on the same album as another song that references 'Kalevala' and that songs titled 'Mermaid' which is in the same vein lyrically. It would seem much like 'Mermaid' this song is about a man who is in love with a goddess and needs her to guide him out of troubled waters in his life. She's the only one who can save him. A lot of songs on the album follow this theme, including 'Three Words'.
