King With a Crown of Tin 04:50
lyrics
buy track
Once there was a man the man of many dreams His dreams were full of hope His dreams were full of grief The man was alone majestic on his throne He wore a crown of tin and mumbled with a grin "All the people should be strapped down to the floor And all the memories I had are here nomore All the things they do with their lives They're all lunacy, they're things that I despise" The mirror that he gazed was the only thing he praised He remembered what he said and thought in his head "All the people should be strapped down to the floor And all the memories I had are here no more All the things they do with their lives They're all lunacy, they're things that I despise You are the One that I despise!"

Sand Inside The Frame 04:01
lyrics

The time is chained It's not the same Sand has been put into a frame It has taken the shape of god I walk upon the sands of time I roam towards the mighty chime The tower that people bow by Give me some time to seek and find Or build me up from sand Give me some time to understand If I get there I'll never leave I'll spend my days just to achieve The secret waiting to be found The time moves by just like a tide I am prepared to leave my pride And salvage this wonder we made Give me some time to seek and find Or build me up from sand Give me some time to understand Now that I'm here I see no king Time's not our god, but deep within A power we must all obey The things they told cannot be true and if they were, I'd still resume to smile at the face of this god Give me some time to seek and find Or build me up from sand Give me some time to understand

The Nightingale 06:56
lyrics

To move and go on Those birds they fly so Elegantly But one stands out in a way that I can't explain Those birds they fly so Elegantly But one stands out in a way that I can't explain It seems like our time is a nightingale flying across the land One day I wish to capture it and rule with an iron hand "Time equals space" said the slave of equations The man who knew he was bound to be doomed "Time equals space" said the slave of equations Look for the patterns from the lines in your hands

Reunion 03:56
lyrics

Back where I come from there is an old saying “The things you want most are always unstaying” Assimilating has never been easy It took me a while A long, long while... I walked for days in this dreamlike extension Felt like I lived in another dimension I saw the beauty that it had inside Wished it would not slide Silently collide My vision must be deceiving me It’s blurred by fantasies As for what I see it cannot be The One whom I believe Back where I come from there is an old saying “The things you want most are always unstaying” Assimilating has never been easy It took me a while A long, long while...

Balance 04:54

I think she dreamt it all last night A firm wind of change, blew by, changed my sight And now I feel the wind that is rumbling And now I feel the way that it's shifting our time She wanted us to move to France The visions of the future turning to past And now I feel the wind that is rumbling And now I feel the way that it's shifting our time I have made all her dreams come true A change of scenery, was all that it took And now I feel the wind that is rumbling And now I feel the way that it's shifting our time

Requiem 03:40
lyrics

The way you touch my skin it feels like somethings wrong The gloomy looks you give, notes linger on too long There are no seasons for you No alteration I could never be in your situation This time I was brought in makes life seem very short Just like a butterfly with the sun you'll sail to port There are no seasons for you No alteration I could never be in your situation Requiem aeternam

Five Stages 11:00
lyrics

I: Isolation It has been weeks It has been months The race of time has just begun It has been years It has been decades It has been centuries I cannot figure out what I once said "Time equals speed? Time equals distance?" Where did she go? Where has she gone? What can I do? The race of time has just begun Has it been weeks? Has it been months? Time matters only for a while Has it been years? Has it been decades? Has it been centuries? Or have I only drifted in my dreams? Will she ever, come back to me? II: Anger III: Bargaining I wonder will life ever be the same I still think about her every day Trapped in confusion Uncertanty If you're there give her back to me IV: Depression

The Derail 08:36

The color of the ocean like a foggy memory A painting I'd paint if the colors didn't shake The shades are flickering like pictures in a book ablaze And I can't recall what took me so long

Slave of Equations 06:27
lyrics
buy track
"The end of times is near" a stranger told the man who lost his crown He glanced at his gold watch Leaving the barrow with a silent frown I gaze up to the sky and see the smile of the almighty time I answer with the grin I still wear within The people settle down We hold each others hands and close our eyes As one we all countdown The moment when foes will become allies No fear or anger thrives Inside we all have embraced our fall I answer with the grin I no more wear within

about

Moonswing image

Moonswing Oulu, Finland

Moonswing was formed in Oulu, Finland around 2012 as a solo project of Lari Haataja. The lineup was gathered after Lari had composed the album and wanted to start recording. The concept was extended from an album to a band and the name “Moonswing” came to being. In its current state Moonswing is a somewhat limitless band in terms of genre, but the term progressive rock flies around often. ... more
