In early 2010 vocalist Ian E.Highhill posted on myspace saying.
Olympos Mons will play their last gig on 30.1.2010 in Ekenäs, a nearby town
to their hometown Hanko. The reason for the split up is part personal problems
and part due to some band members lack of interest in committing themselves
enough to the band.
Still, some of us like myself will continue in other projects so watch
out for us you have not seen the last of us yet!
Some further biographic information from their website (http://www.olymposmons.com/):
"It was neither the alcohol nor their similar band backgrounds which brought the guitarist Jari Sundström and singer Ian E. Highhill together on a concert evening in a small town in Finland in 2002. It was the passion for melodic, symphonic metal music and one which led the two experienced musicians to the important decision of founding a band with the name of OLYMPOS MONS (the highest mountain on Mars and the largest volcano in our own solar system). It was a decision which would make waves in the world of heavy metal. Thanks to their yearlong activities in various bands they certainly had the right stuff. Jari Sundström feels just as much at home in the world of classical music as he does in rock and metal, has been composing songs for many years and his aggressive style of playing guitar has made him a popular figure on the local scene. For his part, Ian E. Highhill has a voice of exceptional range and is known both as a composer and as the author of dark, romantic lyrics."
Wolves
Olympos Mons Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A strike of lightning
She stands alone
In the rain
Waiting for a wonder
A silent dance
No one around
To entertain
Cold wind and thunder
Oh! how I wish I could see in the night
Far enough to find you
I will run with the wolves in the night
I'll be there when you least expect me
I'll be there when you turn out the light
To take you away with me
Underneath
The fading moonlight
She wanders off
Into the dark
Waiting for a wonder
The rain is cold
But hiding her tears
There'll be no fire
Without a spark
Cold wind and thunder
Oh! how I wish I could see in the night
Far enough to find you
I will run with the wolves in the night
I'll be there when you least expect me
I'll be there when you turn out the light
To take you away with me
The lyrics of Olympos Mons’ song ‘Wolves’ evoke a sense of longing and desperation. The singer is standing alone in the rain, waiting for something to happen or someone to come to her rescue. The mention of the sky being dark and a strike of lightning indicates an impending storm, but it could also symbolize personal turmoil. There is a hint of sadness in the lines about the silent dance and there being no one around to entertain.
The chorus of the song provides a glimmer of hope amidst the gloom. The singer wishes to see in the night so that she can find the person she is waiting for. The wolves in the title could have different interpretations - they could represent strength, loyalty or danger. The singer wants to run with them in the night to find her lost love.
The second verse talks about the singer wandering off into the dark under the fading moonlight. She is hiding her tears and waiting for a spark that will light a fire. The reference to cold wind and thunder doesn’t deter her from her quest, rather it serves as a reminder that she is willing to endure anything to be with the person she loves. The song ends on a hopeful note, with the singer promising to be there for her love when they least expect it and take them away with her.

But hiding her tears
Concealing or disguising the drops of liquid that are secreted by the eyes as an expression of emotion
There'll be no fire
There will not exist the element in a state of combustion
Without a spark
An ignition source, a small fiery particle or the beginning of an event
