Wrong Direction Lyrics
[Verse 1]
The night thickened into black earth
The ground sparked under my feet
I didn't know the stars had tumbled down
And that earth had turned into sky
[Chorus]
I should have understood
I should have seen it coming
The signs on the road have changed
The fires on the mountain die
I should have understood
I should have seen it coming
The signs on the road have changed
The fires on the mountain die
[Verse 2]
I felt ascending but I really sunk
Everything had turned upside down
As I was traveling to the mountain peak
I had dug into the grave of our home
[Chorus]
I should have understood
I should have seen it coming
The signs on the road have changed
The fires on the mountain die
I should have understood
I should have seen it coming
The signs on the road have changed
The fires on the mountain die
[Bridge]
I advise of my brothers
The signs of the heavens
And silenced the words of my sisters
[Chorus]
I should have understood
I should have seen it coming
The signs on the road have changed
The fires on the mountain die
I should have understood
I should have seen it coming
The signs on the road have changed
The fires on the mountain die
[Outro]
Did I sacrifice a brother?
The fires on the mountain die
Did I silenced the words of sister?
The fires on the mountain die
The night thickened into black earth
The ground sparked under my feet
I didn't know the stars had tumbled down
And that earth had turned into sky
I should have understood
I should have seen it coming
The signs on the road have changed
The fires on the mountain die
I should have seen it coming
The signs on the road have changed
The fires on the mountain die
I felt ascending but I really sunk
Everything had turned upside down
As I was traveling to the mountain peak
I had dug into the grave of our home
I should have understood
I should have seen it coming
The signs on the road have changed
The fires on the mountain die
I should have seen it coming
The signs on the road have changed
The fires on the mountain die
I advise of my brothers
The signs of the heavens
And silenced the words of my sisters
I should have understood
I should have seen it coming
The signs on the road have changed
The fires on the mountain die
I should have seen it coming
The signs on the road have changed
The fires on the mountain die
Did I sacrifice a brother?
The fires on the mountain die
Did I silenced the words of sister?
The fires on the mountain die

The epic video for the song features long-time lyricist Pekka Kainulainen who defines the song as: Cultures rise, flourish, and are destroyed. The story of man is the story of searching, finding, and forgetting. A single spark can set the world afire, a single idea can give birth to a new culture. The greatest can stagnate into insignificance, the smallest can hold the power for change.
