Today is one of the best Folk Metal songs ever. Ensiferum always makes the best battle songs or travelling ones too. I have always loved these guys since I heard them way back in the beginning of high school. This band has always been one of my all time faves. This album is probably my fave one by them although I do love their first album too. This song was one of their longer songs and its an absolute awesome song. I love the intro the chorus is pretty awesome and that guitar solo is amazing. This song gives me me the visualization of a huge epic battle. Anyways enjoy :3

lyrics:
This hate inside me,
It is constantly growing.
Years of hollow lies,
Made pagan hatred rise.

They came with their troops,
Destroying land and roots.
Abominations under the sun,
They and their poisoned truth.

One by one my people fell,
Under their deceptive spell.
How many sons of the
Northe, had to fall?
before our eyes could see;
This isn't how it should be!

"Under the Northern star
We shed our blood.
With the call of a battle horn.
We raise our swords.

Behind the fields of blood,
There's a haven for us.
Deep in the woods of the North,
Rises the Heathen Throne" - Kalevala

Upholder of the skies,
For too long has your name been
despised,
Give us your strength and courage.
When we meet our nemesis.
On the shores that used to be,
The place we called home.

Our land and faith are raped,
Somehow they're going to pay.

Grant us your revenge,
We are not afraid of death.
Let none of them ever more, EVER MORE,
Lay a hopeful gaze upon the sky!
