Amorphis - Sampo Lyrics
Sparks sent flying, my mind thundering
The room of my heart flashing to the sky
The flaring of fumes fill my senses
Pervade this room and this space
The moon, the sun unite
Order of stars expires
A wonder is born
I listen and aim, I observe
I use all the forces and let it transpire
I confront the darkness absolute
And blinding, dazzling brilliance
From roaring flames the shapes emerge
Their poisoned core hides in beauty
But I see and perceive their deceit, I see
Into the blaze I shove them back
To lose their forms to the hungry fire
Again and yet again
I start my work anew
Again and again
I start my work again

Amorphis Sampo Comments
It has been a great year of books reading - Crime and Punishment, Nietzsche, Oedipus Rex, Antigone, and with music, too: Skyforger and Elegy from Amorphis, Still Life, Blackwater Park from Opeth, Icon and Tragic Idol from Paradise Lost... Wow;)
The intro is really fantastic
This would have been great with Tomi Koivusaari vocals
Sublime.
Fuck this song is soooooo good! Epic!
Still.... best song!
I can't unhear In Flames Moonshield
Speed 1.25 enjoy
Моя любимая песня :) Thank you a lot!
This song will always be know as Shampoo in my mind.
Skyforger Is One Of The Best Albums Ever
I Love It ♥♥♥
I infinitely concur. Skyforger is rather superior.
Sublime ! ^♥^
this song is my morning alarm. Sometimes I just lay in bed for 6 minutes
sampo it's a sort of wishes' tree
Wha does "Sampo" mean?
The Sampo is an artifact in Finnish mythology... a magical mill capped with a rainbow-hued dome that can produce limitless amounts of flour, salt and gold. Whoever possesses even a fragment of the Sampo will be blessed with great prosperity and good fortune.
mun kouluihastuksen nimi on Sampo<3<3<3<3<3
Skyforger, one of the best albums ever forged!!
Skyforger, one of the best bands I ve ever heard !!!
Definitely Amorphis best album Skyforger 😎
Ari Virtanen Tales From A Thousand Lakes is their classic masterpiece.
Tales from the thousand lakes IS very good too..but my opinion Skyforger IS feels better ..i have on vinyl both album. Greetings from Finland 😎
I reckon this song concerns the forging of the Sampo:
Sparks sent flying, my mind thundering
The room of my heart flashing to the sky
The flaring of fumes fill my senses
Pervade this room and this space
[Chorus:]
The days they blend into the nights
The moon, the sun unite
Order of stars expires
A wonder is born
I listen and aim, I observe
I use all the forces and let it transpire
I confront the darkness absolute
And blinding, dazzling brilliance
[Repeat Chorus:] (2x)
From roaring flames the shapes emerge
Come forth they do with vile charms
Their poisoned core hides in beauty
But I see and perceive their deceit, I see
Into the blaze I shove them back
To lose their forms to the hungry fire
Again and yet again
I start my work anew
Again and again
I start my work again
[Repeat Chorus:] (2x)
A wonder is born
Obviously, the whole album is about Seppä Ilmarinen
I named my first pet dog after this song. Awesome band and songs!
My first name :D Sampo.
I know what it is, you silly goose. I was named after it, after all.
Don't be so rude please, you're hurting my feelings.. :(
Are you a Mill that produces Flour, Salt, and Old from thin air?? Crafted by Ilmarinen the Eternal Craftsman himself?!
Blessed are you my friend
Same :D
To good to be famous..
My name is Sampo also... cool... :)
So...is this song about your parents getting busy?
Been playing this on Rockband last night
lots of fun
I love how so many of their songs spring from Finnish mythology, makes me want to learn more.
@superpoopotion
But we who know...We few, we happy few. We band of brothers. For he today that rocks with me shall be my brother... ;)
Shampoo is cool
3:30 - 4:30 perhaps the most epic minute of my life.
I've had quite a fucking life.
@RuiGranja903 In Flames is a good band too...
This is my favourite amorphis song, and it's the favourite of Tomi Joutsen, he told us yesterday in Portugal...
I love the keyboard solo...
Wut. I found this band/song through a circulating FB status challenge: "Write your second name on Youtube and share the first hit." So this is what I found... :D
@TheJeba98 ME2 ;DD
I love this song
I'll always compare them to the "Tales From The Thousand Lakes" album. And they'll always keep up!
Skyforger is teh most awesome album (:
pretty kool song
5:29 till the end...incredible, well the whole song is awesome but I love that part so much. Awesome band, older and newer!
my name is sampo=)
@Doddus to compare the genius that is Opeth to the wonder that is Amorphis is to compare the beauty of a sunny day and that of a full moon night. Each to their own majesty. I, personally, enjoy both but i would not compare them. Just a thought.
It made me so sick when my sister's boyfriend said to me "he's not singing". Fuck off and listen to Coldplay then.
HOLY FUCKING SHIT!!!! From 3:32 to 4:56 is one of the most epic things i have ever heard. That part COMPLETELY blew my mind. This band now officially has a well deserved spot among my favourites. \m/
Honestly who the hell could dislike this song? 166 against 2. Haha why even bother making such a pointless stand? lol. Probably another one of those Hardcore and nothing but Hardcore kids
It's my favourite song from amorphis.
At 4:33 it smells like Emerson, lake and palmer.
It's very cool, all the music
@ozzyfanatic92 he prolly just went to the library computer just to dislike it again lol
@superpoopotion I know this comment of yours has been posted a year ago ,but I couldn't help but point out that most people I know who have a decent metal background knowledge know about Amorphis... I believe that any metalhead who respects himself should know about this band
MY friends name is Sampo :) I just found this thanks to him
PEACE & LOVE! D:
Their last two albums have been my favorites, apart from Elegy.
i saw this song live, i almost cried man!!! EPIC!!!
I love it how no one here is making a comparison to Opeth.
I love you guys.
And of course, I love this band.
one dumbass missed the like button in shock that real metal bands can play piano lol
great music, i hope to see them in november in Utrecht with orphaned land.
@superpoopotion no its not a shame. if they became very popular they would sell out and become one of the many shitty mainstream rock/metal bands.
And they are not uknown. For the metal scene, they are a very succesful band
@harvesterofsorrow111 yeah most mainstream just sounds the same
uhmmm how come I've never heard of these guys before? I would think I have a good taste in underrated bands but never heard of them, I'm slightly ashamed ahh well its not too late to start
Great album by a great band
Haha, I hear 'the shitting urge'. Oh dear...
Best band ever though!
is this the same band whos album were 'The Karelian Isthmus' also ??????
Keep it that way. This song is too beautiful, let alone this band. Keep it sacred.
yes, but those who know are truly blessed :D
the first metal song i listened to when i got my computer was The Castaway, some 7 years ago, and i can say i just can't get enough of it till this day
The music itself sounds like a Thyrfing song, anyone knows which it could be?
Sampo was a magical mill that created wheat, salt, and gold, from thin air
Don't kill me for this but Silent waters reminded me of old Paradise Lost, especially 1-2 songs. I love that album, but this one is also nice. I have to listen to it more
lolwut, I thought it said Shampo.
i read somewhere that it was some kind of mill or somethuing like that..............................
today ive started to read the kaevala but at the begining its not mentioned
awesome chorus
"If you know what a Sampo is, write it down on a piece of paper, throw it away and try not to think about it. You'll be glad you did."
This is better than Silent Waters. That shit sounded like Sentenced or some crap like that. This would have been a great record if it wasn't for the silly clean vocals that don't even go along with the melodic music.
Nothing quite beats the original two Death metal albums and the early EP and demo stuff, but I must say, Amorphis has actually gotten better album by album since "Far from the Sun".
HAILS TO AMORPHIS
AND PRAISED BE UKKO and AKKA \m/
Amazing! Feel the ghoosepumps I got with listening to my kantele times ago
This song has everything in it. Catchy chorus, prog messing, great riffs, and the overall songwriting keeps the song together very well.
One of my favourites from Amorphis ever.
As expected, Amorphis didn't disappoint. 8)
Wow, what a song! I love it!!! :)))
This is an amazing song!!!Amazing....!!!!
Thanks for posting!
