However, vocalist Tanya Kemppainen quit the band in 2002, leaving Lullacry without its main element. Many female singers applied for the post, but the then unknown Tanja Lainio ultimately stepped in and brought her lightly bitter contralto vocals along with her. Their following release was entitled Crucify My Heart. The single Don't Touch The Flame taken from this album included a cover of the Nine Inch Nails track ''Head Like A Hole''.
Prior to the record of a new full album the EP 'Fire Within' was released including alternative versions of two of the bands classics tracks, a W.A.S.P. cover, and two new tracks.
In June 2005 the band announced the completion of their fourth album entitled 'Vol. 4' which was released in September of that year and was proceeded by the single ''Stranger In You'' released in July and including a Kiss cover. After a long hiatus, Lullacry released their fifth studio album 'Where Angels Fear' in 2012.
They announced a split in 2014 following three farewell shows.

The Chant
Lullacry Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Natures Bitter Song
Eternally Sunk Into
The Deepness Of His Heart
Already Came The Time
For The Farewell
In The Indefinite World
But His Cheerful Heart
Has One Sorrow To Bare
At The End The Death
Will Gather All Things In
Blessed Is A Lot In Life
When Gladness Is In Taking
His Cheerful Heart
Has One Sorrow To Bare
At The End Of Time
One Sorrow To Share
In the song "The Chant" by Lullacry, the lyrics describe a theme of sorrow and being haunted by it throughout life. The first four lines talk about a hymn, which is a religious song of praise. "One Hymn Is Above All" suggests that there is a particular hymn that is the most important or meaningful. "Natures Bitter Song" refers to the idea that the natural world can be cruel and harsh, and that even the beauty of nature can be laced with sadness. "Eternally Sunk Into / The Deepness Of His Heart" suggests that the sorrow the singer is referring to is deep and enduring, never truly leaving them.
The next lines continue the theme of time passing and the inevitability of coming to an end. "Already Came The Time / For The Farewell" suggests that it is time to say goodbye or to move on. "Trail Of The Renegade / In The Indefinite World" implies that the singer is wandering, perhaps without a clear purpose or direction. However, the next line seems to contradict this, as it states that the singer has a "cheerful heart." This could be seen as an attempt to mask or hide the sorrow that they carry with them. "Has One Sorrow To Bare / At The End The Death / Will Gather All Things In" carries with it the sense of finality - that death will come for all of us eventually, and that everything will be gathered into it. There is a sense of acceptance here, a recognition that this is simply how things are.
The final lines of the song repeat the idea that the "cheerful heart" has one sorrow to bear, and that this is something that will be shared in the end. This suggests that there is a sense of unity or commonality in the fact that everyone experiences sorrow, even if they try to hide it. Overall, the lyrics of "The Chant" are quite poetic and evocative, exploring themes of sorrow, acceptance, and the passage of time.
