Vellamo (A sailor's funeral)

Don't take my body home
don't tell anyone I know
Just wrap my body in black sails
and throw me in the waves

let my mistress's wolves surround me
and feed me to a cold abyss 
where storms await in broken dungeons
and light will find its hell and peace

Don't let red dust run on my bones
with lines that feed the jaws of time
no heavy stone or dirt will mark a grave
no heavy stone or dirt will crush my lungs

Don't tell anyone I knew
that I believed in nothingness
just let the water run its course 
to where I'll start anew.
