I'll put myself through the test All but one are meaningless One day I'll claim my spot in the stars Welcome to the new Stone Age Where we spend our fading days Worshipping palm-sized monolith gods The Sun has cast its final rays We wait for the end of our days Tremble in fear till we die Never knowing the reason why If there's a God up in the sky He has long since left us behind While we fuel our own demise Measuring our self-worth with Numbers on a goddamn screen Always doubting our own train of thought Oblivious to our luck Chose not to realize we're fucked As we consume more than we wish for The Sun has cast its final rays We wait for the end of our days Tremble in fear till we die Never knowing the reason why If there's a God up in the sky He has long since left us behind While we fuel our own demise The golden pathway that we once could see Slowly its facade is starting to lift

Fate Angelic 06:48
When I saw you for the first time I knew for the rest of my nights You'd haunt my dreams, never to go Like a restless soul in limbo I'll wait for you to rescue me All I need to do is believe That you'll find the key to my heart Before it tears itself apart Chaos lingers within my shell I need to get out of this hell And you're all that stands in my way Fallen before, but not today If there's one thing I know for sure It's that I can't resist your lure If it should ever come to that I'd trust my life into your hands Fate won't let us wait So why don't we break and give in? You're forever mine We will survive the tides of time

Indifferent 06:56
So fast you faded And left me nothing But a shattered heart And sorrow followed Don't cry for me I'll still remember you Even if you cut my heart in two Just hear my wish Please do not hate me If I start another life without your light Shards of the love you felt for me Like rusty nails, they prick my skin And so I let them pierce my veins Until your poison has been bled away But let me tell you something, dear I'm past being held down by fear Because at least you made me learn To stop before the point of no return I swear I'm fine I still have time Don't cry for me Your memory remains Only with the pain now locked away Just hear my wish Please do not hate me If I start another life without your light

Another morning arrives Its light descends on me But something does not feel right It creeps under my skin Try to make sense of my mind Alas, to no avail Dark clouds gather up inside Another sunset fades Came to my attention you Belong to someone else Is my heartbreak overdue? If only I could tell Bittersweet thoughts of envy Your deception I fake Your lips they don't arouse me And yet I crave their taste Once more I lay down to sleep But who knows what tomorrow brings Will I be too sad again To open my eyes? I've but one request Don't make me face this alone Promise you'll be there I'm powerless on my own Please save me

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
