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
