beginning
Timo Kotipelto Lyrics

A dry void within the universal waters
At the beginning, there was emptiness surrounded by an endless sea.

And a mound soon to arise
Soon after, a hill emerged from the water.

A heaven's dome, the earth
The heavens and the earth were separated by a sky dome.

On the first day came the first sunrise
On the first day, the sun appeared for the first time and illuminated the world.

The Sun god is in his boat
The Sun god travels on his boat.

Travelling through the night
He travels through the darkness of the night.

Fighting the evil serpent
He battles the serpent of evil to bring light to the world.

He will bring the light
He will bring light and chase away the darkness.

Before creation there was chaos
Before the world was created, there was only disorder.

And then the maker rose from the sea
Then the creator emerged from the sea and began to create the world.

He created more new deities
The creator formed new gods and goddesses.

And that's how life was set free
And thus began the cycle of life, with various gods and beings.

The earth and the sky formed the first couple
The earth and the sky were the first two beings and joined to form the first couple.

And the descendants were born
From this union, many other beings were born.

The forces of good and evil appeared
As life progressed, both good and evil forces emerged.

Before the first dawn
Before the first light of dawn appeared on the horizon.
