Won't play for me either. I went to your link though. That intro is great with your guitar and the recording sounds good I like the way that drum sounds. Can you translate the lyrics to English and post them?

Maybe I don't just undestand that [singlemp3] -thing.  

And my english is bad.

If I translate those lyrics you don't probably still undestand everything. But let's try.

Lyrics included religious (Christianity, Islam, old Native Finnish religion etc) phrases and things. But it's not religious song. I'm not even religious. Normally I don't make songs like this.

Song is about love. Impossible love. Uneasy love. Unreachable love.




Translation:


My Excalibur is a *double-edged sword                    (from Bible, things got always two sides; good and bad. Or smthing)
I can't forge it to *Taivaannaula                                   (Nail of The Sky = Pole Star/Polaris, In Finnish mythology)
Down from The Mountains to the *Valley of The Kings    ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valley_of_the_Kings )
The journey has been long as the River of *Tuonela       (The realm of the dead or the Underworld in Finnish mythology)

You call it a wind
Every time you turn to the Crusade
It falls on you
I will conquer you back (to me) again

Your lap is the Mecca of broken hearts
A *burning bush in the desert's sand                     ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burning_bush )
When *Harmattan comes, it's time to surrender     ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harmattan )
*Holy Grail may scratch in the wind                      ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holy_Grail )

You call it a wind
Every time you turn to the Crusade
It falls on you
I will conquer you back (to me) again
