1) Charon was founded in 1992 by Mario Tepšić, Antti Karihtala, Teemu Hautamäki, Pasi Sipilä, and Jasse Hast and was originally a brutal death metal act. After releasing three promo albums and two demos, the band signed a record deal with Emanzipation Productions. Through Emanzipation, Charon released their first two full-length albums Sorrowburn and Tearstained in 1998 and 2000 respectively. After touring with fellow Finlanders Sentenced, the band parted ways with Emanzipation and signed to Spinefarm Records.
During the summer of 2001 Charon recorded their third studio album Downhearted. Prior to the release of the full album, a single Little Angel was released, which rose to #5 on the Finnish single charts. In early 2002, Downhearted was released, and it proved to be just as popular as the single. The album rose to the number 3 slot on the Finnish album charts.
In April 2003, the band released another single, In Trust Of No One, which made its debut at #1 on the Finnish singles charts. Five months later the Religious/Delicious single was released, followed quickly by the band's fourth studio album The Dying Daylights.
In November 2003, guitarist Jasse von Hast left the band, citing a lack of interest in playing for the group and boredom with band-related activities as reason for doing so. Lauri Tuohimaa stepped in and officially became the band's new guitarist in January 2004.
After several tours and the release of the single Colder, the band released its fifth album Songs For The Sinners on August 31, 2005. Since then the band has toured extensively in Europe and Russia. Concerning further releases, the band stated, during the summer, that they had six new tracks ready to record.

Air
Charon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Yet the moon was the one to hear
How she prayed forgiveness for each shattered little word she made to weep
Why these woods still echo, how the whispering tangles on
When the moon was the only one here
How I pray to loose my burden in this place where I loved you dead
And you are the air, the cold beneath this whispering wind, carried within
The air, the air I breath was gift from you
Charon's song "Air" is a hauntingly beautiful ballad that speaks to the internal struggles of a character who is grappling with deep regret and longing. The lyrics allude to a tragic past where the character has said things that have caused immense pain to someone they loved. The opening lines, "Unspoken witness never reached the eyes of the day, Yet the moon was the one to hear", sets the melancholic tone for the rest of the song, where the singer is speaking to an unresponsive audience, in this case, a person who is no longer alive. The character is seeking forgiveness for their past mistakes, asking for release from the burden of guilt that they carry.
The motif of the moon is a recurring theme throughout the song. It is the only constant presence in the night sky that has borne witness to the singer's pain and suffering. The line "Why these woods still echo, how the whispering tangles on" suggests the haunting memory that continues to linger long after the events have passed. The singer finds solace in the air that they breathe, which is, in essence, a gift from the person they loved and lost.
In conclusion, Charon's song "Air" is a poignant reflection of human emotions that many people can relate to. The song paints a haunting picture of a person dealing with deep regret and longing, seeking redemption from the ghosts of the past. The use of vivid imagery and the motif of the moon gives the song its melancholic and otherworldly quality.
Line by Line Meaning
Unspoken witness never reached the eyes of the day
She kept her thoughts hidden from the world
Yet the moon was the one to hear
But the only one who knew was the moon
How she prayed forgiveness for each shattered little word she made to weep
She regretted every hurtful thing she said
Why these woods still echo, how the whispering tangles on
The memories still haunt her
How I pray to loose my burden in this place where I loved you dead
She wants to let go of all the pain in the place where they were together
And you are the air, the cold beneath this whispering wind, carried within
The person is like the air that is everywhere, but cannot be seen
You are the air, the warmth in sorrow I took in when I could feel the end
The person is also the comfort in times of great sadness and pain
The air, the air I breath was gift from you
Breathing is a reminder of what was lost
