Existing Exception (2011, EP) credits and lyrics
Prisoner of the Mind
Music: Ville Paukkunen
Lyrics: Maija Nyström
There is a line
And on the line, there are peasants
I don't think - therefore I am
Prisoner of the mind
Don't leave the line

Most got life sentences and beyond
Decision to pardon can be done
Statistics on the majority's side
To me the route to change has no price

I'd hate to be wrong, but more I'd hate to be right
I chose to fight for the other side
Took a look to the other side
I had to be a prisoner of the state or mind

Disagreeing silently means agreeing
We have a right to choose
But not to choose right

Don't leave the line
Prisoner of the mind
This is your freedom's price

Agreed with some and disagreed with most
For sure someone is lost
No more useless self-deception
I believe in existing exception

Disagreeing silently means agreeing
We have a right to choose
But not to choose right

Chorus

guitar solo - Roine

Chorus

Be a prisoner of the mind
This is your freedom's price
Be a prisoner of the mind
Be a prisoner of the mind
You're a prisoner of the mind
This is your freedom's price

You Can Fly
Music & Lyrics: Maija Nyström
If you opened your eyes even once in your life
You'd see that you live in a lie
You can reach out your begging hand
But there's no hands dragging you back

Your eyes have been shut for all your life

A blind one can never see the light

The one thing you knew was that you will survive
You knew it, you believed it but you were blind
Your life might be ended just like casting the dice
You don't know, you don't care but you can fly

If you opened your heart even once in your life
You'd feel that you live in a lie
You can reach out your begging hand
But there's no hands dragging you back

Your eyes have been shut for all your life
A blind one can never see the light

Artificial Intelligence
Music: Jorma Roine
Lyrics: Maija Nyström and Jorma Roine
Why do we still grow old?
Knowing what we do
Grim theories unfold
Your time's up soon

Safety in numbers
That's what they say
And the truth is just
Just smoke in the air

Hysteria
End of days
Will it come
To take everyone?

Pointless fear
Spreads like plague
We were not made
To be afraid and fade

You know nothing 'bout that
But you suck up every word

Artificial intelligence
For us it's too intelligent
Replacement of common sense
Our luxury long spent

The Earth is so flat while you're
Just sitting on it
Perception's nothing
With no perspective

Hysteria
End of days
Will it come
To take everyone?

Pointless fear
Spreads like plague
We were not made
To be afraid and fade away

Still intact
Your life's insanity
Prolonging every day
Another calamity
Is coming at your way
Till you crack

Hysteria
End of days
Will it come
To take everyone?

Pointless fear
Spreads like plague
You live afraid
Your self-persuaded fate

Hysteria
End your days
Will undone
Trapped inside the box of

Pandora
The truth gets vague
Darkness will sear
Only disaster leaves here

Pointless fear
Can't make sense
Is this real
Intelligence?

We can never go back
There's nothing left to take apart
Desolated and black
Once a home for the heart

Korpikuusen Kyynel
Music & Lyrics: Jorma Roine and Leeni Mäkilä
Today I wrote my last will
Stating the tool to kill
Total of one million deaths
To the extreme sacrilege

Head-banging with neck support
Drinking all we export
Beer slamming 'til you drop
I will never stop
Head-banging with life support
Still drinking all we export

Waving my iron fist
With hording masses of heretics
Feasting on the last standing priest
The unholy triumph can be sealed

Chorus

Once the ship will hit the shore
The black crusade runs forth
From ancient capital of pagan Finland we came
And Korpikuusen Kyynel is our name

Inhale, exhale metal
Inhale, exhale metal
Inhale - hell yeah

To the point of liver exchange

Chorus

guitar solo - Roine
guitar solo - Paukkunen

Head-banging with neck support
Drinking all we export
Beer slamming 'til you drop
We will never stop
Head-banging with life support
Still drinking all we export

Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!

Sense The Dreadful Presence (2008, demo) credits and lyrics
Hope
Music & Lyrics: Leeni Mäkilä
Do you ever think about
If things go like they go
Is there someone watching us?

If God let it go
Would you be here without hope?

Is there a place called heaven
Where all is happiness
Where joy and love grows

Chorus

So what are we living for?
'Cause life is meaningful
It's to cherish the life He gives

Chorus

Guitar solo - Paukkunen
Keyboard solo - Nyström

When God will let it go
You won't be here without hope

Season Of Gray
Music: Ville Paukkunen
Lyrics: Leeni Mäkilä, Ville Paukkunen, Maija Nyström and Jorma Roine
I walk towards unknown
This load is taking its toll
Under the crimson sky
I don't wanna say goodbye

Clusters gathered silently waiting
Sharing the same passion and glory
Cruel and endless Northern winter

Where lies the redemption?

In the season of gray
I can't tell a night from a day
As veil of fear descends
One senses the dreadful presence

Pre-Chorus

Chorus

Guitar solo - Roine

A star once lighted
Now it's burning out
A star once lighted
Now it's burning out

The bloody footsteps on the ground
Will tell a story
That generations will remember
A hundred years after me

The blood that colored the ground
When flesh and steel were one
My blood's being stained by pain
Just to make me insane

Chorus

Candle
Music & Lyrics: Leeni Mäkilä
A light from a candle
Shows you no way
If you can let no one
Light it up again

Oh my god I think I lost my
Way back home

All the pain that hurts you so bad
All the pain that cuts right through you
Might be coming from inside

Guitar solo - Roine
Tin flute solo - Nyström

Chorus

Guitar solo - Paukkunen
