Liner Notes

Some neofolk type of thing. First I thought that maybe I should add some layers, but then I decided just to keep it as simple as possible. I loathe nationalism, but the lyrics here have sort of a national romanticism vibe to them, I guess. I feel these two things can be separated. So, this can be read as some sort of a homage to the Finnish nature and its ruthlessness. Once again, in English the lyrics sound just wrong, especially the title, but it is what it is.

Lyrics

Tielle levinneet kirjeet
Tuulen mukaan katoaa

Lumeen haudattu
Muisto kuolevan

Aseista riisuttu vainaja

Autioiden maiden kutsu
Kylmä kruunu yllä pään

Kaiku nousee takaa unen
Laskee yön hunnun paikalleen

Aseista riisuttu vainaja

Translation:

Letters scattered on the road
Gone with the wind

Buried in the snow
The memory of dying

A disarmed deceased

Call of the desolate lands
A cold crown over the head

An echo rises from behind the dream
Sets the veil of night in its place

A disarmed deceased

Cool chord progression, the shouter delivery of the vocals gives it urgency, the synths are ominous and effective. The picked guitar sounds lonely and austere.

I love the translated line “An echo rises from behind the dream
Sets the veil of night in its place”
