The darkest winter arrives Settles into my mind Depression planting its seed Breaking me from within Take me to my grave The sadness ever-raging Make this my last day Inside, the fire's fading For too long I have denied The lack of feeling alive The fog that my mind gathers Therein I seek comfort Leave me here to die For the things I once lived for Witness me bleed dry Of my will to carry on The darkest winter arrives Settles into my mind For too long I have denied The lack of feeling alive

So you went ahead And ruined my life Bet you won't expect Me taking thine My nascent fixture To hunt you down Won't stop until you're Turned inside out [CHORUS]: Say your prayers now For you're going down Don't try to hide You'd better prepare to die For it's an eye for an eye This night'll be full of gore I live by Gomorrah's law Get ready to run Fall prey to me This will be most fun No use to flee For I have become A shadowed wraith Relentless herald Of pain and death [CHORUS] Tell yourself as you might You're not bound to survive For I'm your worst nightmare Come fight me if you dare But you won't take me out You're the one going down Why can't you hear me out? Just accept your fate now If there's one trait of yours I'll give you credit for It is your persistence If only it would help Your death is ultimate My bloodlust tireless This day proves that you are Less than the sum of your parts

Wanderer 03:24
[CHORUS]: Trying my hardest not to break This is the most that I can take Inside my mind, the battle rages on But I won't fall Trapped in a space outside of time Wasting the strength that I can't find Forever the wanderer For far too many years I've been walking With no destination in my sight Don't know anymore if I should continue Or if I'd best give up Somewhere behind God's back, looking for signs So I could find the way once more Waiting for a light to show the path To shine and guide me someplace new [CHORUS] How could I be so blind as to ignore What lay dormant right before my eyes? If it wasn't too late to turn back I would gladly retrace my steps To the point where I took the wrong turn To this place that I don't recognize But then, how would I know where to go When I never focused at all? [CHORUS] Someone help me Save me before I'm completely... Lost
4.
Siren 06:03
Siren, come to me For I have waited for you Reach out, let me see The secrets of your virtue Deny me the right To decide upon my fate Take me in the night When the stars reveal your name [CHORUS]: Drag me down with you Let's fade out of this world Hide all my sorrows Behind the waterfall So sweet your embrace My dream ends too late In your grip of death I draw my last breath [CHORUS]
5.
Phoenix 14:05
Pile of ash lying dormant Puzzling minds of hierophants Used to be a man among them Came to his untimely end [CHORUS:] For when you shall fade from this world Let the heat erase all the hurt There's no need to feel so afraid Do not fear the burn of the flame Suddenly it burst ablaze Birthing a creature of grace Spawn of Hell, glowing blood red Brand new life, symbol of death Staring down upon their king Violently spreading its wings The ground cracks, mountains crumble Oceans boil, lifeforms struggle Infernal death from above Power too great to fathom [CHORUS] Walk this road For no cause See no end Marked for death

about

The Santtu Pesonen Project Joensuu, Finland

Started in December of 2012 by a then-ambitious 18-year-old Santtu Pesonen, The Santtu Pesonen Project has served as the Finnish hobbyist musician's primary musical outlet. The project's sound originated in a style reminiscent of hard rock, and every album since the debut EP has steadily taken it more towards progressive rock/metal. ... more
