Description: New single “The Hour Grows Late (feat. Tomi Joutsen, Tomi Koivusaari, Santeri Kallio)” by INSOMNIUM, out now via Century Media Records. Taken from the album “Netherworlds”. Order here: https://Insomnium.lnk.to/NetherworldsID
Karsikko is a sacred memorial tree tradition in Finnish and Karelian folklore. These trees served as symbolic boundaries between the worlds of the living and the dead. During funeral processions, a mark was carved into a designated tree to commemorate the deceased, while ribbons and strips of clothing were hung on ancestral trees to honor their memory and help ensure their souls found peace.

Lyrics:
I’m treading into the winter’s dreary eve
While the snow keeps falling on me
Colder and colder still
Shattering soul yet cleaving to the last ember
Weakening flame I shelter and guard
Hold with shivering hands
Can you still remember?
The time when nights were soothing
I’m waning into the land of silence
While the snow keeps falling on me
Colder and colder still
Searching for you amidst the flickering shadows
Yet nothing but vapor and dusk I find
Mere phantoms of the past
Can you still remember?
The time when nights were soothing
Can you still remember?
The time the winds were gentle
I thought we had all the time in this world
Undying summer nights stretching on
Now the winds are cold, not as they were
And you are here no more
You fade away, beyond the dawn
Those were the days now gone for good
Those were the days of our lives
Straying towards the end now
Roaming beyond the nightfall
Light is fading away
As the hour grows late
The hour grows late…
When I fell asleep it was summer
But when I awoke it was winter
The house was empty and cold
You were there no more
I thought we had more time
I thought we had all the time in the world
And there would always be a new spring
And we would stay young forever
And now my eyes are failing me
It is getting too dark to see
