”Tapa sen kun kerkeet is maybe the most aggressive trash metal song what we’ve ever done while still maintaining our typical folk style.
The aggression in the song comes from anger and frustration about the state of our world and how senseless war is. Humanity is so stupid that it doesn't learn anything from history and just keeps making the same mistakes as before. Always with the most advanced weapons and methods.”

suomenkieliset sanoitukset

Ensin tyven, sitten myrsky
pysähytti laivatkin.
Ankara soutu ja veneen riekaleet alta ammuttihinkin.

Auta muu kun uira ja sukeltaa niin pitkälle kun suinkin.
Väistellä luotipihunoita vedessä, helvetin kohmen kylmänkin.

Ei ole järjenhiventä taistella
sekopäistä kuningasta vastaan.
Ei ole kuultu kiitoksen sanaa
suurimmista voitoistakaan.

Tapa sen kun kerkeet ja jokatapauksessa, tapatat ihtes
niinku tapana on!

Annetaanpa joka talonpojalle
takas viinanpoltto-oikeutensa.
Kirkonvierestä alkas kuulua kapakasta ilosta lailatusta.

Sieltä kelpo kuullakin saa
valekuninkaan suosion rappiosta,
tyhjä on yrittää entisten veroiseksi
turhilla valloituksilla.

English Lyrics

Kill While You Can
Translated by Helena Halmari

First the calmness, then a bad storm
stopped all sailing ships at sea.
Rowing intensely while the shreds of my boat being shot from under me.
No other choice but swim and dive as far, far as my strength can take me
Trying to dodge the raining bullets in water, cold as hell is this freezing sea.
It makes little sense to lose my life fighting
for an insane, crazy, deranged king.
We’ve been given no words of gratitude
even when the battle is won.
Kill as fast as you can and in any case, you know, killers will kill you
as they always will do!
Let us give each peasant in this forlorn land
the rights to distill spirits and moonshine
From next to the churches, from bars and pubs
merry tunes and joyful singing will resound.
Folks in this country could then hear
the fake king’s popularity is in decay,
it is foolish and vain to mimic previous tsars
by your stupid, pointless conquests.
