1.	Immoral Seed 05:36	lyrics
Forcefully planted inside me A seed of evil grows within My decency taken from me None offer the help that I seek Devoid of the happiness I once ceaselessly expressed Carrying a wretched seed Born of an immoral deed Fine, I'll get rid of it myself I know the risks, but I don't care While I still can, I'll destroy it If I don't, I'll never be free Devoid of the happiness I once ceaselessly expressed Carrying a wretched seed Born of an immoral deed I can't bear this child Though I know that I Will be stained by sin But I don't mind it Come back now, oh happiness I once ceaselessly expressed Freed now of the wretched seed Born of an immoral deed
2.	Departure 07:30	lyrics
Please rescue me Save me from myself Undo deceit Drag me back from hell The razor blade Rests upon my wrist Only time will Tell when I let it... Cut I do not ask For your forgiveness What's in the past Won't matter again The time has come To release the pain My days are done Come down, crimson rain My own burdens I never meant For your shoulders To carry, my friend My own burdens I never meant For your shoulders To carry, my friend
3.	Nocturnus 03:07
4.	That What I Deserve 09:23	lyrics
All my works unrecognized Brought me not a single dime My wife wants me to just stop But I'm too close to give up I've a plot of a great maker A plan to take what I deserve For my family My sanity My destiny I'll make you... Pay! They say I'm merely a grumpy old man Sick with age, just barely able to stand But I will show them all that I can do By now, there's nothing left for me to lose For my family My sanity My destiny I'll make you... Pay!
5.	(The Unfeasible Burden of) Losing Time 05:39	lyrics
Staring at the dull gray walls Shadows standing at the door A window cloaked in dust and wood A single beam of light shines through Far too many years I've been Sitting so perfectly still All my friends with whom I played With the wind, they left this place Now I'm just killing time Commit the perfect crime With nothing left to lose Save for this damned refuge If I should die tomorrow I'd pass in floods of sorrow For I know better'n ever Time won't forgive its wasters

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
