in Spring `02. I was helping one of my friend to get
his musical career back to its course and I offered him
a song I made to the Burning Point ( but I guess that
the other guys in BP didn`t share my enthusiasm towards
that song so it was kind of “left“ over...).
Back then I was in the middle of the Feeding the Flames
recording sessions so I kind of “forgot “ the whole thing
and the next time I saw my friend he told that they had
enough songs of their own already so...
the song was “left” over again...
that poor thing was Temples of Gold.

Then it hit me , there was not going to be the third time...
I contacted one my friend who was the guitar player in
one of my hometown bands and we started demoing couple of
my songs…But suddenly he had his handfull of other “projects”
so that one died right there...

Totally frustrated of that situation I finally called
Tapsa and Jussi in the end of the year `02.
After about 5 rehearsals we had something like
12 “new “ songs...
The word new is used very cautiously here because few of
these songs I`ve made years ago...
But I have “modernized” or “ up to date”
them a little bit so they sound very new,
even to me! Finally in Spring `03 we had our first
demo cd ready ( called , Ghosts in the Castle)
and I started sending it all over the world.
After a few negotiations of some of the record labels
we decided to make a record deal with Sound Riot Records,
I guess that mainly because they share the
same enthusiasm towards our music as we did...

So here we are!!!

Now I'm here
To set the record straight
I'll bring fear
I've rose above my fate

I plant my seeds
To the angry soil
You better believe

I am here to stay

Stages change
But I'll remain forever
Tormented souls I'll unfold
For everyone to see

Far beyond the time
There is powers in my reach
If you take me for a fool
Inner forces I'll unleash

You will pay the price
If you act against my will
Enforcer that's who I am
You're not slipping through my hands

Stages change
But I'll remain forever
Tormented souls I'll unfold
For everyone to see

(When you) see me
(When you) hear me
(When you) speak to me
You've reached the point of no return
(When you) when you feel me
(Then you're) too near me
(You only) fear me
I'm calling from the edge of the world!

Without my guidance
You will fall to your knees
So full of defiance
But still I do what I please

You will pay the price
If you act against my will
You got no control anymore
I'm the master to be

Stages change
But I'll remain forever
Tormented souls I'll unfold
For everyone to see

(When you) see me
(When you) hear me
(When you) speak to me
You've reached the point of no return
(When you) when you feel me
(Then you're) too near me

(You only) fear me
I'm calling from the edge of the world!

Overall Meaning

In Ghost Machinery's song "From the Edge of the World," the singer is proclaiming his power and control. He has risen above his fate and is planting his seeds into the "angry soil" to show that he is here to stay. He warns that anyone who acts against his will shall face consequences and will not slip through his hands. He exerts his power with the lines "without my guidance, you will fall to your knees. So full of defiance, but still I do what I please." The singer seems to be calling out to those who doubt him, stating that they have reached the "point of no return" and they should fear him, as he is calling from the edge of the world.

The chorus emphasizes the idea that although "stages change," and time may pass, the singer will remain "forever" and continue to unfold the "tormented souls" for everyone to see. He also mentions that there are powers beyond time that are within his reach and that he will unleash his inner forces if he is ever taken for a fool.
