Lament (Love, I Found You Gone)

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, and 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
