In the morning mist by the waning moon
through the woods she set on foot
With a sacred blade cut the berries down
Dug up the dreaded mandrake root
Tread my path to summer's end
This bequest I leave you she says
You will see what could be evergreen
Turn to copper and fade to grey
By the standing stones
Atropine eyes smiled at me
Sitting in a sluggish vertigo
Sands of time form another dream
No love without sacrifice
No liege springs without decay
The final kiss is a wormy one
In soils cold caress to rest we'll lay

What is the meaning behind Summer's End lyrics?
When we interpret the meaning being expressed, the song 'Summer's End' by Amorphis explores life cycles and natural decay through a forest journey and changing seasons which show how human existence vanishes and demands personal sacrifice. The summer's end lyrics show a strong focus on natural elements which lead to deep self-examination through their connection to spiritual matters and their expression of intense emotional struggles. The song highlights three essential elements which include nature's natural cycle and the practice of sacrificial offerings and the process of decay and the practice of mystical rituals. The lyrics contain themes of death, decay, and sacrifice, which are more mature and may not be suitable for younger children. The use of 'wormy one' and 'soil's cold caress' as language and imagery elements creates a dark tone which leads to a PG-13 rating. ✔️
