Vihan Tie
Horna Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Kuinka muisto pimeydestä vaanii
Seuraten askeleitasi, kuunnellen
Etsien sopivaa hetkeä raivolleen?
[Chorus:]
Hänelle sielusi juomaksi jaloksi
Vihalle temppeli verestä puhtaaksi
Taivaalle ruumiisi kohotkoon savuksi
Entä, jos näkisit ja voisit koskea,
Sen olennon käteen tarttua
Oppaaksesi tällä Vihan Tiellä
Tuon unohdetun muiston kutsua?
[Chorus]
The lyrics of Horna's song Vihan Tie are in Finnish, but they translate into English roughly as follows. The song speaks of a dark memory that lingers and follows the footsteps of the singer. It bides its time and waits for the right moment to unleash its rage. The chorus asks the singer to offer their soul as a drink to this entity of wrath, to purify their temple with blood, and to raise their body as smoke to the heavens. The second verse asks what would happen if the singer could touch and see this creature, and if they could call upon its forgotten memory as a guide to travel the path of anger.
The lyrics of Vihan Tie are quite enigmatic, but they seem to explore the theme of rage and how it can linger in our psyche. The song suggests that ignoring or suppressing this emotion can cause it to grow and fester in our subconsciousness. It also hints that embracing this anger can be a source of power and purification. The imagery of the drink and the temple suggests that the entity of rage is a deity of sorts, perhaps a forgotten or repressed god of wrath.
