Towards And Against lyrics

I have known the arcane lore
On strange roads such visions met
That I have no fear nor concern
For hatred and obstacles of this world

By stone-shoed wanderer I am taught
My visions from fiery-eyed iron-armed chanter
I know how to fight, I know how to sing
I know how to bend, I know how to break
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/a/amorphis/towards_and_against.html ]
I've not grown weary on lengthy roads
On strange lands not gone astray
Such is the knowledge cast in me

Such is the knowledge, such are the skills

I know how to fight
I know how to sing
I know the way

If ruin is said to befall me
It has not come to pass
I conquered all who stood in my way
And drowned the snakes of death

Because of treason I now shall leave
Because of my blood burning my soul
And now I raise this flaming sword
Towards darkness, against everyone
