"I had been working on this song for a while, but when Russia invaded Ukraine, it came natural to write these lyrics and finish the song.

We were planning to release it later this year, however when Faine Misto asked us to perform at their festival in Poland as a charity event, it seemed perfect time to release it. The cover artwork, again done by Jan Yrlund, shows the impact and deep sadness we all feel. Peace & Love - Jonne”

*** TRANSLATION ***

Crystallomancy
(The Crystal Ball)

Without a motion, the dancer in front
of the silent player, the kantele burning
like the sun without its light.
She appears in my dream,

[a] fortuneteller crystallomancy
seeing a war, heavy iron in the chest,
never growing rusty.
Prophesying, crops are like
weather and war
you now have thaw
but tomorrow brings bitter frost and ice

No, there is no reason to bow down,
even though you could lash us with your whip.
Should we die, then mother earth would get
a golden blanket.

“Before was like before but today
is indescribable.
Before, yellow grain swayed,
harmonious and serene
Before was like before but today
there’s no peace.
Evil’s reaping, the Devil’s laughing,
he has grown fat and strong.
Igor from East slaughters from his hideout.

Greetings from Kyiv, Korpiklaani. You are a huge part of my teens and I can't express how this work that you've released now warms my heart. I was at your concert in Kyiv in 2016, and I still remember Jarkko's bare feet and how I shouted "Beer-beer" three times in a mic that Jonne shove in a crowd.

Olen Ukrainasta. Kuulin kappaleesi ensimmäisen kerran monta vuotta sitten ja se inspiroi minua oppimaan suomea. Nyt olen hyvin kiitollinen teille, että olette tukeneet maatani sodan aikana. Tiedän, että myös Venäjä hyökkäsi kerran maahanne.
Kiitos tuestasi!

Финны пройшли путь который сейчас проходит Украина, по общайтесь со старыми финнами как они относятся к россиянам. И что о них думают. Спасибо, что выбрали сторону добра.

Thank you for your support and this amazing song!

[Oleg]

Kiitos paljon tästä biisistä! Voitamme.

Ivans seem to be more upset about this song than they are about being conscripted and possibly ending up in some muddy ditch.
"I won't be listening to you anymore" yeah we know, it would give away your positions and we can't have that with all the bayraktars flying around.

[kOsmOs-um]

Thank you for suppor to our Ukraine, you one of the best rock band which I know.
