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.

Charon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I set your wings on fire every night
I see you cry
Pain, I take it all and have some more (tonight)
Fire, it licks your skine but heart is cold
A heart that never beats just for herself
I set your wings on fire every night
I die for you everytime
I see you cry
Rain, I shower in her drops of tears (tonight)
Oh for our hate, she craved no more but have it all
She took some pain and sarted again
Started to loose her life before my eyes
A heart that never beats for no one else
The lyrics to Charon's song Little Angel depict a heartbreaking scene of a character who is suffering in a cruel world. The singer addresses the character, referring to them as a little angel, highlighting their innocence and vulnerability. The singer takes responsibility for causing pain to the angel and setting their wings on fire every night, perhaps hinting at some sort of destructive relationship. The angel is depicted as crying, suggesting that they are trapped in a cycle of pain and despair.
The lyrics touch upon themes of pain, fire, and rain, all of which seem to be linked to the angel's suffering. The singer mentions taking all the pain and having some more, indicating that they are shouldering all the hurt the little angel is feeling. Likewise, the raindrops are described as tears, perhaps suggesting that the character is also crying uncontrollably. Interestingly, the use of fire and rain, both elements that are commonly associated with cleansing, seems to point to the idea that the character may need to go through some level of purifying before they can move on from the pain.
