"Is the road thither a long one? Is it difficult to find? Oh, the distance is great, but all roads lead to that land. You may arrive there quickly, in a day, in an hour, perhaps even in a twinkling of an eye--and quite before you expect." is an excerpt from the book 'Nordic Hero Tales from the Kalevala' by James Baldwin (a collection of awe-inspiring stories from Finnish mythology). This excerpt in particular to me sums up the inspiration & intonation of this track. Like all Amorphis songs, the Kalevala (national epic poem of Finland) is the basis from which most of their songs incite.
