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.
