These Low Lands Lyrics
Timo Rautiainen & Trio Niskalaukaus Cover
Weakness of the past
Like vapor in the trenches
These lowlands haunted
By a man clad in frost
All evil deeds done
Are piled up into hills
And visible on the left side
Fields of bad omens
Behind the skyline
The worst noise of the world
Violent crows of this dream
Flying backwards
Open below us
Another swarm grows
Feel like tumors
Which shall return
And every night someone
Moves all the clocks forward
And the sun seems to
Set always at the sunrise
No one leaves this place
No roads out from here
No passing birds ever
Really do pass by
No one entering here
Walks without trembling
No one ever dreams of
The hands of tender fathers
Like vapor in the trenches
These lowlands haunted
By a man clad in frost
Are piled up into hills
And visible on the left side
Fields of bad omens
The worst noise of the world
Violent crows of this dream
Flying backwards
Another swarm grows
Feel like tumors
Which shall return
Moves all the clocks forward
And the sun seems to
Set always at the sunrise
No roads out from here
No passing birds ever
Really do pass by
Walks without trembling
No one ever dreams of
The hands of tender fathers

I believe this song to be about the Finnish Civil War of 1918. The national catastrophe of Finnish Civil War of 1918 is one of the most significant turning points & national traumas in Finnish history. People’s pent up aggression and hatred erupted in the form of extreme violence amid the exceptional conditions imposed by the war. Approximately 38,000 people were killed during the war.
