Insomnium
Insomnium is a Finnish melodic death metal band from Joensuu, Finland. The sound and lyrical themes of their music portray darkness, sorrow, loss, pain, and nature. Although they are primarily a melodic death metal band, their tracks could be seen as reminiscent of doom metal and progressive metal.

Medeia
by: InsomniumWhere there once was love, only hatred now resides
Where I once had heart, only nothingness now dwels
Guilt-ridden shall be your days
Heart-rending your nights
By starlight I rock to sleep my dearest ones
Under the cold sky I lull to rest my darlings
Good to ie in a bed of cloudberry flowers
Soft to dream on a moss-grown pillow
Betrayed by one I loved, deceived by one I caressed
Cast into the dark, thrust into the endless night
But even bitter is your fate
Way darker your path
For nothing have I been by your side
In vain have i wasted this life
All that was fair has been marred now
All the love I gave you have emptied my heart
Soon I'll be feeling no pain
sleeping in silent shade
The ones you cherist most
I'll take with me to my dreams
Haunted by your deeds
Wrapped into the grief
You are bound into this sorrow
