Godlike Machine Songtext

Godlike Machine Songtext
To a strange land, land of Pohjola
I took my gift, I received it from the gods
I melted the knowledge of heaven
From the pieces of my heart I built a golden mill
I made the heavens, I delivered them
I gave the horn of plenty, released them
My king sold me to the northland queen
I forged and gave her a godlike machine
It wasn′t enough for the queen of liars
To the river of death I also was sent
I was sent
The field of death I furrowed
I turned the soil black with steaming viper blood
In a forest deep underground
I hunted a wolf and a bear from the shadow
I was offered death as prize for my great deeds
False words from the tongue of the northland queen
My king sold me to the northland queen
I forged and gave her a godlike machine
It wasn't enough for the queen of liars
To the river of death I also was sent
I was sent
A heart turned unto me (A heart turned unto me)
A heart turned unto me (A heart turned unto me)
She whispered the knowledge of gods (The knowledge of gods)
And gave the missing words of wisdom (And gave the missing words of wisdom)
To me, a creator of heavens (To me, a creator of heavens)
My king sold me to the northland queen
I forged and gave her a godlike machine
It wasn′t enough for the queen of liars
To the river of death I also was sent
I was sent
A heart turned unto me
I took my gift, I received it from the gods
I melted the knowledge of heaven
From the pieces of my heart I built a golden mill
I made the heavens, I delivered them
I gave the horn of plenty, released them
My king sold me to the northland queen
I forged and gave her a godlike machine
It wasn′t enough for the queen of liars
To the river of death I also was sent
I was sent
The field of death I furrowed
I turned the soil black with steaming viper blood
In a forest deep underground
I hunted a wolf and a bear from the shadow
I was offered death as prize for my great deeds
False words from the tongue of the northland queen
My king sold me to the northland queen
I forged and gave her a godlike machine
It wasn't enough for the queen of liars
To the river of death I also was sent
I was sent
A heart turned unto me (A heart turned unto me)
A heart turned unto me (A heart turned unto me)
She whispered the knowledge of gods (The knowledge of gods)
And gave the missing words of wisdom (And gave the missing words of wisdom)
To me, a creator of heavens (To me, a creator of heavens)
My king sold me to the northland queen
I forged and gave her a godlike machine
It wasn′t enough for the queen of liars
To the river of death I also was sent
I was sent
A heart turned unto me
