"This is t… Read Full Bio ↴From the band website, http://www.twilight-guardians.com:
"This is to let you all know that after 29.8. 2008 Twilight Guardians exists no more as a band. It´s also the date of our final show in our hometown of Salo. There are absolutely no personal conflicts involved and we remain the best friends hopefully the rest of our days.....So what happened?
We just lost the enthusiasm and sincere joy for our thing. We have been playing as Twilight Guardians for over 10 years now and lately it hasn´t been that fun anymore. So we talked about these feelings during the spring and decided it is better to quit than it is to pretend. You all deserve us to be honest. For sure it has been a rocky road for Twilight Guardians in music business and since the day one we have been struggling with record labels, managers, booking agents, etc. etc........but that´s only business. No hard feelings. Music is what counts. Everyone of us will keep on playing and making music, that´s for sure. Wait and see!
We want to thank our fans and supporters from the bottom of our hearts for all these years! For you we allways gave our best and you all made it worth the effort. Heads up high!! We also wan´t to bow for our crew for their guts and patience and the hilarious moments on the road. Gracias Amigos!
We made four great albums, played sold out shows and got friends from all over the globe...And we had a blast all along the way!!!
Peace, Love & Rock´n´Roll,
Vesa, Henri, Carl-Johan, Jari, Mikko "
Twilight Guardians was a power metal outfit formed 1996 in Finland. The first songs were born, Angel Without Wings and Night Of The Black Swan. The bands' line-up has changed a few times, with different bass players and a vocalist. Now Twilight Guardians is a solid team, ready to take their place in the worlds metal scene!
The band made few "home studio" demos at -97. Feedback was suprisingly positive and as a result of this, Twilight Guardians desided to record their mini-cd "Land Of The Kings".
LOTK was an immediate success! The band got fan mail throught the world, and then it was time to make a deal with a proper record company, which now is ANGULAR-RECORDS, Germany.
After the release of Tales of the Brave, T-G has done numerous shows in Finland and has been composing new songs for the forth-coming album "Wasteland". Also a lot of interwiews has been done to numerous different magazines and radio stations. TOTB has sold quite fairly around the world and the reputation of the band has grown steadily.
In the year 2002 winter-spring, T-G started their studiowork. Alongside with the hard recording process, the band had to find time to make a music video and perform some live concerts as well.
The new songs you will hopefully hear very soon, follows the same main lines as heard on TOTB album, but with a more spacy feeling.
This year T-G will again be performing on a biggest metal
festival in Finland, "Nummirock", with bands like; Amorphis, Sonata Arctica, etc.
Their fourth album, Ghost Reborn, was released in Nov 2007.

Twilight Guardians Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Sentenced by the beauty
I stare the sun, the brightest heart
From where the purest hate flees
You're all I have found
Above this ground
This dust without a beuty
Save me from this blade of greed
Cloak of the stars buries my heart
At my end I'll see your eyes
You ride with the wolf
You're covered with cold blood
I still would be where you are
You carry the snake
Embraced by two cold hearts
I still would be there you are
I stare the sun, the brightest heart
From where the purest hate flees
Cloak of the stars buries my heart
At my end I'll see your eyes
You ride with the wolf
You're covered with cold blood
I still would be where you are
You carry the snake
Embraced by two cold hearts
I still would be there you are
The lyrics of Twilight Guardian's song "Still" seem to be about the conflicting emotions of being in love with someone who is both beautiful and dangerous. The first stanza describes the feeling of being trapped beneath the ground, perhaps symbolizing a feeling of suffocation or restriction in the relationship. Despite this, the singer is unable to look away from the object of their affections, represented by the "brightest heart" of the sun. However, alongside this beauty comes darkness and hatred, represented by the "purest hate" that flees from the sun.
The second stanza adds to this theme of danger, with the metaphorical idea of a "blade of greed" that threatens to harm the singer. Despite this, they still rely on their lover to save them from the harsh realities of life. The use of the phrase "above this ground" suggests that the singer is seeking some form of escape or transcendence through this love. However, this hope is tempered by the fact that their heart is "buried" under the "cloak of the stars."
The final stanza reinforces the idea of the lover being dangerous, with the imagery of "riding with the wolf," "carrying the snake," and being "embraced by two cold hearts." Despite this, the singer remains committed to them, stating that they would "still be where you are." This seems to suggest a willingness to endure the danger and pain of the relationship because of the intense love that they feel for them. The closing line of the song, "At my end I'll see your eyes," adds a sense of foreboding or fatalism, as if the singer knows that this love may ultimately lead to their demise.

Beneath the ground without a sound
Silently suffering and trapped beneath the surface
Sentenced by the beauty
Enslaved by the allure of something that ultimately brings pain
I stare the sun, the brightest heart
Gazing at the light that represents passion and love
From where the purest hate flees
The source of love can be also the source of hatred
You're all I have found
Finding solace and meaning in someone
Above this ground
Breaking free from the entrapment beneath the surface
This dust without a beauty
A world without meaning or purpose
This only sun with beating heart
A world with only one source of warmth and life
Save me from this blade of greed
Protect me from my own desires and selfishness
Cloak of the stars buries my heart
Being hidden and obscured by the vastness of the universe
At my end I'll see your eyes
The comforting thought of seeing loved ones at death
You ride with the wolf
Being fiercely loyal and protective
You're covered with cold blood
Being ruthless and unforgiving
I still would be where you are
Staying with a loved one despite their harsh exterior
You carry the snake
Being deceitful and untrustworthy
Embraced by two cold hearts
Being surrounded by people who lack empathy or love
I still would be there you are
Choosing to remain by someone's side, despite their flaws
