The song is a reflection on some of the many crisis that humanity is facing today. Hopefully we'll manage to steer ourselves towards a better direction. Darker Times - Lyrics by Juha Partanen Darker times for the butterflies This dead land where I lay Full of life back in the day Where are the fields of gold Burned as a grim tale unfolds There's famine and there's war Still we stand but must take more Smoke and flames are rising right next door Right next door, no I hoped that never more Pride would ignite war And whispered never, never I never thought I'd see Global scale disease And whispered never, never The way the world has turned Fertile fields all burned We must scream never, never again Darker times for the butterflies Darker times for the butterflies Darker times for the butterflies Darker times for the butterflies Darker times for the butterflies Right from the edge of life In to give us pain and strife Tiniest parasites Spread and dealt death out of sight We're feeling sick and sore Straggling on but must take more Smoke and flames are rising right next door Right next door I hoped that never more Pride would ignite war And whispered never, never I never thought I'd see Global scale disease And whispered never, never The way the world has turned Fertile fields all burned We must scream never, never again Darker times for the butterflies Darker times for the butterflies Darker times for the butterflies Darker times for the butterflies Darker times for the butterflies Darker times for the butterflies Darker times for the butterflies Darker times for the butterflies Darker times for the butterflies Darker times for the butterflies I hoped that never more Pride would ignite war And whispered never, never I hoped that never more Pride would ignite war And whispered never, never I never thought I'd see Global scale disease And whispered never, never The way the world has turned Fertile fields all burned We must scream never, never again Darker times for the butterfliesmore
