""Cold autumn rain Fields new-plowed A sludgy bane Far from home The time has come Our troops march on A silent hum A cheerful song Den snöiga nord är vart fädernesland Där sprakar var härd pa den stormiga strand Där växte vid svärdet var seniga arm Där glödde för tro och för ära var barm Vi vattnade i Nevans bad var frustande häst Han sam öfver Weichseln sa glad kom till fest Han sam öfver rhen vart hämnade stal Han drack utur Donau kejsarens skal Och rida vi fram öfver slätter och däld Sa springa ur hofvarna gnistor af eld Sa haglar vart hugg som ett hammarslag Sa ljusnar för världen en framtids dag In morning mist Dark lines stand still With clenched fists Against her will At the break of dawn Our forces assemble A distant horn Soon cannons will rumble A shroud of smoke An iron breeze A man of hope Hell unleashed A glove of steel Front line down A white lone steed A fallen crown Den snöiga nord är vart fädernesland Där sprakar var härd pa den stormiga strand Där växte vid svärdet var seniga arm Där glödde för tro och för ära var barm Var tröst du som suckar I mörker och band! Vi komma Vi komma vi lösa din hand Där pustar ej träl i var frostiga nord Friborne vi rida i fält för Guds ord Vid Breitenfeld vi togo Pappenheim I var famn Vi skrefvo pa Kronenbergs brynja vart namn Vi svedde gratt skägg for Tilly vid Lech Vi blödde med kungsblod vid Lützens häck Och rida vi längt fran vart nordliga spar Till glödande dufvor med blödande sar Sa smattra trumpeterna segerbud Hugg in tappra led! Fram! Med oss är Gud Cannons ready! On my command! Fire! Out of the dust past our ranks Came a mount without a master Blood-stained it strode all alone Each one knew The Oak had fallen Hakkaa päälle Pohjan Poika! Ride for revenge We march again For the King and the mighty Feel no fatigue Your wounds will heal When we've slain the foe so greedy Ride for revenge We march again For the King and the mighty Feel no fatigue Your wounds will heal When we've slain the foe so greedy""

    can't believe i'm the first person to comment on this song. I don't know exactly what it means, cos i don't speak finnish or whatever language it's in, but from the prologue, i think it's just about an army marching to war in the past, because it was just another part of life to them. it sounds really inspiring, especially the last bit.

    --> song explanations for Battle Metal metalstorm.ee/pub/interview.php in short: it's about the "March of the Finnish Cavalry in the Thirty Years War".

    this song is ridiculously awesome.

    Ah, you beat me to it. Eitherway, here's the quote from that interview:

    "I've been facinated by the Thirty Years War almost since I was a child - specially the Finnish cavlary, The Hakkapeliittas, who were feared among enemies and highly respected by fellow soldiers. Our first demo "Taiston Tie - The Battle Path" from 1998 was around the same theme, so this Thirty Years War -song has been a long project that has hanged with us since the day Turisas was founded. The name for the song is taken from Topelius' Surgeon's Stories too. In the novel, the initials R.R.R. was engraved into the king's ring, which has a leading role throughout the story. Rex Regi Rebellis is Latin and could be translated into "the king is rebellious towards the king". The English lyrics are my own and the Swedish ones are from another text by Topelius "Finska rytteriets marsch i trettiåra kriget" (The March of the Finnish Cavlary in the Thirty Years War) Since Topelius was Finno-Swedish as myself, I wanted to use the original Swedish text. The pick also had to do with the fact that in the days of the Thirty Years War, Finland was a part of Sweden and so the Finnish soldiers and cavlary actually fought side by side with the Swedes."

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere. In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example: "'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
