lyrics

Here we are standing strong as a melody's dying phrase.
Listening as the end of our reveille fades away.
Giving up on our own nationality. Fly away.
Selling off all our rights in eternity's final days.

Strong as a melody is long,
now that the melody is gone.

Shouldn't we risk our life in an enemy's time of need?
Picturing that he's raising a family? Life could be.
How we cry for the fate of our lovers that fall away.
Yet we think someone else comes to carry us through the day.

Strong as a melody is long,
now that the melody is gone.

It's a myth that our life is unlimited. Live for now.
Sealing fate with our lack of initiative, take a bow.
Lying down we're sedate yet a part of us lies awake.
In our death we live out our mortality's passing grace.

Strong as a melody is long,
now that the melody is gone.

Over the years of listening to Emancipator, this album has grown to be my favourite. The melancholy and mysticism in it is so captivating. Amazing orchestration of all the different layers. And just lately I’ve come to realize how strongly it’s a guitar-based album. Antti Kailio
