One More Magic Potion - Ensiferum

Once when we were returning from a battle

We got lost in a gloomy forest

In the middle of the woods

We saw an old house

With tired minds we knocked

The door very loudly

Old woman opened the wooden door

She asked us to come in with kind words

From her pot arose a scent so weird

Stunning and bitter but very summoning

Bring me a magic potion

It will heal my aching wounds

A taste so bitter that makes

My bleeding soul feel so good

It will make us sing and dance

In our endless feast

Or it might even unleash the beast in me She filled out pints with that devil’s beverage

And served another round with a hideous grin

The world was spinning in a new light I saw

Everything and everyone was singing this song

With nature, trolls and the spirits of the forest

We are one;

let our singing rise up into the stars

The witch’s magic drum was still beating hard

When a goblin brought me a new pint and together we roared

Drink and dance!

People of the forest sing with us!

Who wants to brawl with me?

Who can shape a kantele from a pike’s jaw?

Like the great one once did

Close your eyes

Calm your mind and drift away from the pain

Beyond dreams

Into the depths of the cauldron

Like a rain it falls

And mirrors nature’s healing powers

Surrender this time

And relief you shall find

Catcher of souls

Hunter of spirits

Grant us the final drop of the life’s elixir

I want to drown all my misery

Into the green trolls blood

And brown swamp drink

Fight against diminishing time

Burden of a solitary warrior’s life
