Track 3 from Waiennut (waeltaja II). The story of Waeltaja continues from the very end of the journey. The music was mostly recorded back in 2017, a year after recording the structures of Waeltaja album. Waiennut follows musically the same direction as Waeltaja, so it was quite easy to continue the story of the wanderer with this material. S. Korpituli, inspired by the grief that fell upon him due to the loss of a close family member, wanted to write about the one final journey that we all take one day. A suitable theme for this second part of the wanderer's saga. In Finnish tradition certain things like catching a strange looking fish “Marraskala“ has been considered an ill-omen of approaching demise to either you or someone you know and that's what our Waeltaja here is witnessing and thus it becomes clear to him - it is his time to go. Thus he leaves for a one final journey to find the end of his days. During this long road he ponders what he achieved during his earthly stay, how the endless cycle of life will continue long after the memory of him has faded and what lies beyond the veil of death? No living holds the answer, to the unknown he must go. And as the end closes, a certain serenity is achieved. As the body grows tired, the soul is ready to roam - to touch the stars. As his earthly flame fades the primordial one blazes as it embraces eternity once again. He goes in silence, he goes in peace. The album closes with a traditional finnish saying “peace to the living, rest for the dead“ which is often said when someone passes away, followed by an old poem/spell pondering “where and when will this all end for me?“. Artwork was once again provided by Hellish Razor and is based on the lyrical themes, giving full support to the audial atmosphere. Grim666 - strings, keys S. Korpituli - voice, atmosphere Rantaan Rajattomuuden Näin käyn ja viimein kohti matkan tekohon vaellan yksin päin lauluni viimeistä määrää Loppu joka niin kovin kaukana häämöttää mutta silti vääjäämättä edessäin seisoo Ja minne lähden kun perille saavun? Täältä rajan taakse tuonpuoleen kauas luota jälkeläisten vaaran laelle, tunturin tuulelle Yksinäisyyden ylpeydelle Levon rauhalle mis ei kuolevaiset vaivaa Sieltä virtaan vetten vietävänä Ei ole paluuta tältä polulta kiviseltä Kerran vielä halki metsän ja aavan Käyn läpi tuulen ja tuiskun matkalla päälle viimeisen vaaran Mä matkalla oon Waeltajat jatkavat kaipuun kulkuaan. Tämä vanha löytää rauhan lopullisen levon Ken todella elossa on? Waeltajat jatkavat kaipuun kulkuaan Tämä vanha löytää rauhan lopullisen levon hiljaisuuden virran rannalta toiselta tuon puolelta ja elo jatkuu kohti ikuisuutta Käy rantaan rajattomuuden Käy usvan maille, maahisille To The Shore Of Infinity Thus I roam and finally towards the making of the journey I wander alone towards the final closure of my song The end that looms so very afar but still inevitably stands in front of me And where do I leave as I arrive? Hence beyond the border of hereafter afar from the afterbears atop of the fell, to the wind of the mountain To the pride of desolation Enter the calmness of slumber where the mortals bother no more From there I’ll stream with the waters There's no coming back from this rocky path Once again past the woods and the glades I go through the wind and the gale On my way atop of the final mountain I am going. The wanderers continue their paths of longing This old one finds the peace of final rest Whoever is truly alive? The wanderers continue their paths of longing This old one finds the peace of final rest from the other shore of the stream of silence in the hereafter and life continues towards eternity. Enter the shore of infinity Enter the otherworldly lands of mist
