From Chaos
06:39

Hundred suns shining brighter
Broken worlds set afire
All my fears fading away
Setting out to find my way
Darkness that still binds me
Chaos unnerving me
Blindly my soul wanders
Resent finding order
Golden path, it beckons me
Walking on so fearlessly
Life’s worries buried inside
Feelings of riding calm tides
My eyes, now they open
Blockades of thought broken
I am finding my way
When the dawn breaks the day
Somewhere down this road
Sanctuary awaits me
I won’t stop until
My mind is cleared up again

Path to Tranquility

I’d die to catch my breath
If only for a moment
To escape reality
To build up serenity
Walk the road to where
Peace awaits tired souls
I’ve heard about a place
Where burdens are lifted off
Where the edge of the water
Will clear your mind of chaos
I must find my way
Follow this golden path

Carpe Diem

Seize the day
Live for the moment
By these words
I seek contentment
If only
It was easier
Fear holds me
In its grip, I’m here
I wish I could find a way
To break free of life’s dismay
But chaos keeps fighting back
Imprisoning me in this cold black
Escaping the forceful throes
Darkness struggling to keep hold
Searching for a place to rest
I’m losing my sanity too fast
Vengefully
I’ve escaped the pain
Finally
I’m seizing the day

Uprising
03:00
|
|
||
|
Life is full of suffering
But through pain we learn
Every day is a new chance
To fix our mistakes
Sometimes we walk through Hell when
There’s no other way
But it merely strengthens us
So from the ashes of our past
We may rise again

The Crystal Dawn

I have travelled far down this path
Am I reaching the end so soon?
I gaze upon skies red with wrath
The sunrise never looked so beautiful
Hundred suns brighter than ever
They shine upon seas blue with glee
A million stars calmly whisper
A thousand winds gently blow over me
Like crystals in the sky
The suns shine their white light
Silver linings appear
In the clouds black with fear
I’m too close to give up this time
Heart racing at a drastic rate
I would die to renew my life
The sky is beginning to bleed with pain
I see before my eyes
This journey’s close demise
One last step left to take
My sanity’s at stake
Chaos won’t hold me down now
I’ve come too far to get out
Taking one last look behind
I step through the gate of vines

Seashores
05:04
|
|

|
Stretching out on the horizon
A great seashore beckons me dearly
Reaching out into the ocean
I kiss the waters vigilantly
Pain inside me faded away
I immerse in the caressing cold
No more held down by life’s great weight
I prevent darkness from taking hold
Free me of the chains of tire
Set these broken worlds afire
Let me enjoy freedom for now
Help me keep my body unbowed
Over the edge of the water
I hear the calming sounds of freedom
By the second they grow louder
This feeling will not last for too long
In time I shall have to return
But now is not the time to worry
Chaos waits behind every turn
But next time I’ll be prepared for it
As I emerge from the water
A gentle breeze blows all over me
I wish this could last forever
But darkness is coming back for me

Reverie
08:10
|
|
||
|
I sit here on the rocks
Shadowed by a tree
Just waiting for chaos
To reclaim its fee
For these great moments to
Set their mark in time
Mistaken for a fool
To escape this life
Sometimes it’s for the best
To just clear your mind
Of the ties of darkness
That so tightly bind
In the sky setting down
The sun ends the day
The sky draws on its gown
Where streams of light play
The time is nearing now
For me to return
The night will show me how
To take a new turn

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
