Shaman Drum Lyrics - Korpiklaani

I've wandered with the folk of the woods 

Wisdom I've learned from the oldest one 

He said: "do not fear me" 

And led me to downwards 

I saw big aperture in the ground 

When he asked me a question 

"Do you know what is this hole in the ground, 

Do you know the meaning of this? 

[Chorus:] 

I wondered and wondered 

'Cause I knew 

If I won't know the answer 

I'd never get a shaman drum 

And personal ability 

I wondered and wondered 

'Cause I knew 

If I won't know the answer 

I'd never get a magic drum and personal ability 

Oh yes, this is the place, where you've get 

Your spirit to your voice 

We stepped through into the earth 

And we walked to the river of witches 

The river flows two ways I saw 

And the old man had a uestion 

"You see the water flowing both ways 

To the south and north 

Do you know why, do you know why?" 

[Chorus] 

Then I saw old grey wolf, it came to me 

And whispered to my ear: 

"The northern flow born from the water which dead has been bathed and the southeren flow born from the water which washed a new-born child" 

Old man looked at me and the wolf he said: 

"Now you have a leader and the truth. 

When we go back home, you'll have your drum of your own 

And you'll know how to use it:"
