about

Mask Ov Lies - This song is about a journey through the life of a person who has a very distant relationship with his dad and the effect it has to the beholder. The song takes a dark dive into what goes through the head of the son who sees nothing but the wrong doings of his father. When it comes to becoming a parent of his own, he is eager to be the better parent. To give a better life to his child

lyrics

MASK OV LIES

I was too young to understand
What you said never made any sense to me
Being caught in this mess
Two became one by force not reason

I waited for a better day
The darkness comes for me
This isn’t who I am
I need to breathe again

Don’t want to suffocate
I wore the same mask for years on end
Kept it to myself
Tired of letting this slip, how could you be so selfish
One act of selflessness could save this mess
You are nothing to me

Force my hand to suffocate the darkness
Weighed down to the deep of the world
Water, fills my lungs
Sink beyond the dark
Take it, take it to heart

Please tell me father
Can I save myself
Like you saved yourself from raising your daughter
I tried to push it forward
I tried to make it work

You never pulled any strings
For all the days that you missed
She never understood your ways
She was too young to understand your disgrace
Is this what you want
Is this the family you say that you love

Force my hand to suffocate the darkness
Weighed down to the deep of the world
Water, fills my lungs
Sink beyond the dark
Take it, take it to heart

Father, is this what you wanted
Is this what you meant by love

I will hold you to your name
For what you became to me
Monster

A path consumed by your hate
There is no light to guide your way
Would you ever rue the day
Watch how it all turn to grey

Those tears in my eyes
They speak of where we are and where we’ve been
I will hold you to your name
You’ve become what I fear the most
Monster, monster

Impressive and immense sound, fused with and inspired by Finnish ancestral roots. UKKO hits hard but also has a heart beating beneath. Albums like this don't get made often; this one will live on as a timeless example of how a talented band move forward while refining their skills, exploring new musical horizons, and writing music with true meaning to each of the musicians involved. camelchild
