Strugglin' on the hardest day, when workin' makes your hair turn grey
You curse and moan when on the phone, but never get your chance to play
A distant goal, some childhood dream, you chase until you're out of steam
Today is wasted once again, and hours spent you can't redeem
You can't lose track of why you're here, in times of hardship dry your tears
A bigger picture will unfold when you look back in later years
Nine to five on overdrive, strive to keep yourself alive
Another rat to run the race, a rush for old-age to arrive
Days of fun are precious few, your soul is battered black 'n blue
When you look around you'll see that work'll be the death of you
As the most important things are said, lend an ear or bow your head
Someone's got it worse than you, be thankful for your daily bread
For your daily bread
Daily bread
Oh my daily bread, be thankful for your daily bread
Oh my daily bread, be thankful for your daily bread
Oh my daily bread, be thankful for your daily bread

I'd say Havukruunu is the rightful holder of the Crown and the mantle of Quorthon. Epic choirs, vikingesque themes and tales from the other times, of the Finnish paganism back in the days before our ancestors were brought to the cross and forced to kneel while feeling the bloody sword of saviour on their throats made to kiss the hand of murderers who burnt thousands, tore down our holy places and took our holy days. Eyes teary I listen to these songs, never forgiving the crimes of the cross! Peikonmieli
A truly stellar death/doom album with heavy doses of black metal. Tracks like Isolation, Child of Light, and Broken Hymns deliver the sorrowful and icy tone of this album, elevated by the stirring cello compositions of Raphael Weinroth-Browne. The album delivers a deeply satisfying crescendo in Becoming Intangible before stirring the soul once again with Epilogue. Matt Richardson
