THE FIRE WITHIN
Music: Tomi Hyttinen, Lyrics: Salla Rimmi
1. Fragile as a snowflake
yet unbreakable like a gemstone
Innocent like hatchlings
with a mind that's bearing all wisdom
Profound as the deepest ocean
and shining brighter than fireflies
Wild at heart yet yearning
to belong somewhere
Seek the light within the secret fires to unfold
the spirit unchainable
Dancing blaze of the enchanted flames will now evolve
into fire within
Reach into the hidden part of you looking to find
a strength unexplainable
Trials, bothers or the deepest waters couldn't tame
The fire within
2. Relentless and persistent
Like the wind that's bending the tree boles
Tender and devoted
Like a wave that's washing the seashore
Braver than a lion and beautiful like the sunset
Jewels of greatest value buried deep inside

DANCING IN THE RAIN
Music: Tomi Hyttinen, Lyrics: Tomi Hyttinen, Salla Rimmi & Niilo Sirola
1. Rain falls down
On this enchanted evening
Step outside
And feel the magic in the air
Hear the beat
And the distant singing
Take my hand
And join the people heading there
Looks like the streets are drowning
They're ours if we dare
A perfect storm is forming
And music fills the air
Don't let go, the storm is getting closer
Stay with me, we're dancing in the rain
The night grows dark, the wind is blowing stronger
Wild and free, we're dancing in the rain
We dance away the tempest, we dance away our sorrows
Wild and free, we're dancing in the rain
3. Ride the storm
And let the wind embrace you
Feel alive
Within this moment that we share
Some say when the clouds gather in the sky,
Find shelter from the rain
But if you run and hide at the sight of a distant thunder strike
You will throw your life away

FOLLOWING THE WIND
Music: Tomi Hyttinen, Lyrics: Salla Rimmi & Niilo Sirola
1. I go a-walking, I go a-walking
Oh, my feet they know the way
Along the highways, and on to byways
Find a course or go astray
2. It's like a calling, a voice within me
Guess I've always been that way
I get a feeling and then I'm leaving
Come the first wee light of day
I'm following the wind
The world is rolling underneath my feet
As I am guided by the breeze
On my way
3. I see the woodlands passing by meeting with the sky
Painted by the sun
I stop to chat with a passer-by, dine at fireside,
Sleep beneath the stars when day is done
I'm following the wind
The world is rolling underneath my feet
As I am guided by the breeze
On my way
I'm following the wind
Away from all the worries of the world
As I am weightless like a bird
On my way
Should you ever doubt my worldview
There's something I'd like to show you
The countless wonders of the road that never ends

BACK TO YOU
Music & Lyrics: Tomi Hyttinen
1. I am riding
I am riding
Home again
Back to you
2. I am climbing
I am climbing
The highest mountains
Back to you
3. I am flying
I am flying
Like an eagle
Back to you
Fly
4. I am gliding
Above the mountains
Like an eagle
Back to you

THE TALE OF SCALLIWAG JOE
Music & Lyrics: Salla Rimmi & Niilo Sirola
1. He was a hideous man
Small, yet a menacing man
Feared at sea and trouble at land
And they called him Scalliwag Joe
2. He would steal from a penniless bloke
He'd fool the cunningest folk
Naught but curses whenever he spoke
What a brute, that Scalliwag Joe
3. He was notorious for
Always hungering more
Riches of all the faraway shores
Not enough for Scalliwag Joe
4. An ancient tale of a treasure of gold
Worth more than you ever could know
Stashed away in the Dead Man's Cove
Was the fate of Scalliwag Joe
5. One day he opened his eyes
Heart set for the ultimate prize
Raging seas and the thundering skies
Didn't frighten Scalliwag Joe
6. He sailed out straight into the storm
A flash of light, and then he was gone
No one saw him from that day on
So much for Scalliwag Joe
7. 'Til this day his story's been told
Though it's not ever told as a whole
There's a secret that no one knows
That was haunting Scalliwag Joe
8. You see, I was the one that he loved,
Yearned for, and never forgot.
He chose to break his own heart
To become the Scalliwag Joe
That's the tale of Scalliwag Joe
No one misses Scalliwag Joe
So much for Scalliwag Joe
That's the tale of Scalliwag Joe

FIND A WAY HOME
Music & Lyrics: Salla Rimmi & Niilo Sirola
1.Will I find a way home
Can I make it on my own
My feet already aching
Find a way home
Through the ever-lasting snow
And keep my spirit from breaking
2.If I find a way home
If I make it on my own
Will I find you there waiting
Find a way home
Through the ever-lasting cold
Will your love then revive me
If I ever find my way home
Am I going to fit my old role
Do I have a place in your soul
Or have the years taken a toll
If I ever find my way home
After all tried and known
Is home going to feel like home
3.When I find a way home
When I make it on my own
Will I finally linger
Find a way home
With my desolated soul
And remain through the winter

GRATEFUL FOR THE RIDE
Music: Tomi Hyttinen, Lyrics: Tomi Hyttinen, Salla Rimmi & Niilo Sirola
1.Back in the day when our world was innocent
We shared all the joys and tears
And my eyes still alight with happiness
Thinking back on all those years
2. We had our own paths, needed to follow them,
The flame burned within our hearts,
Without a warning your story had to end
Now you walk among the stars
Here's to all the days so beautiful
Rare and true like when the moon and stars collide
We shared a journey that was something magical
And I remain forever grateful for the ride
3. Back in the day we believed we'd stay the same
Live forever young and free
Days pass but the memories never fade
You are always in my dreams
And as I must go down this road that I once chose
I still believe there'll come a day we'll meet again
Where the wild wind blows

HENRY HARD-LUCK
Music: Tomi Hyttinen, Lyrics: Salla Rimmi & Niilo Sirola
Flames they went up high as we all gathered at the sight
of the fire at the Old King's Head
Tell me Henry Hard-luck, oh Henry Hard-Luck
Don't you think you should have stayed in bed?
1. Tell me Henry Hard-Luck, oh Henry Hard-Luck
Why're you hiding in that pile of hay
Tell me Henry Hard-Luck, oh Henry Hard-Luck
Your misfortunes make a fine display
Tell me Henry Hard-Luck, oh Henry Hard-Luck
Why the townsmen seem to want you dead?
Tell me Henry Hard-Luck, oh Henry Hard-Luck
Don't you think you should have stayed in bed?
2. Tell me Henry Hard-Luck, oh Henry Hard-Luck
Was it you who knocked that lantern down?
Tell me Henry Hard-Luck, oh Henry Hard-Luck
And then spilled the oil all around?
Tell me Henry Hard-Luck, oh Henry Hard-Luck
All your efforts made the fire spread?
Tell me Henry Hard-Luck, oh Henry Hard-Luck
Don't you think you should have stayed in bed?
3. Tell me Henry Hard-Luck, oh Henry Hard-Luck
If you mean to put a fire out
Tell me Henry Hard-Luck, oh Henry Hard-Luck
Using water is preferred no doubt?
Tell me Henry Hard-Luck, oh Henry Hard-Luck
What on earth was running through your head?
Tell me Henry Hard-Luck, oh Henry
You chose a barrelful of Scotch instead!

I DON’T WANT TO LEAVE
Music: Tomi Hyttinen, Lyrics: Salla Rimmi
1. Trying to just hang on
Our moment's almost gone
Time has no mercy on the ones needing it most
Finally where I belong
But torn away by dawn
I don't want to leave
2. No way to just walk out
Bearing the weight of doubt
We live our dream one stolen moment at a time
Parting from being close
Gets harder as it goes
I don't want to leave
Caught in between the real and the lie
Trying so hard to do as is right
Knowing my place is here by your side
I don't want to leave
3. Put your heart in the shade
Keep up the masquerade
To have at least that fading fraction of delight
Now hear the voice of truth
Screaming inside of you
I don't want to leave

INVINCIBLE
Music: Tomi Hyttinen, Lyrics: Salla Rimmi & Niilo Sirola
1. Today we'll take a step beyond the border of the
Known and tried where no man's ever gone
So rise my friend and feel the wind so gently on your back
It blows until you move along
2. It's time to climb so high that if we slip we're going to
Fall and crash and never rise again
Be strong and brave, and trust your inner voice and you will claim
The prize that's waiting in the end
´Cos the light will shine upon you in your darkest hour
Burning bright it leads us through the deepest troubled waters
And the night was full of evil creatures with their power
But today the sun is shining on
3. We reach the peak and feel that we are high enough to
Touch the sky and everything beyond
Look down my friend and see how far we've come and now we clear
The trail for those who follow on
You're invincible
Today is going to be that day
When you defeat the impossible
Everything will go your way
You're invincible
Today is going to be that day
When you embrace the unreachable
You will have the final say

THE ELEVENTH HOUR (Raise a Toast)
Music: Tomi Hyttinen, Lyrics: Salla Rimmi
1. Now my friends we've come this far
And it's time to see just where we are
Celebrate the gift of life
Reminisce about the days gone by
And it didn't always go as planned
Rocky roads that crumble into sand
But it all has been just for the best
Crucial stepping stones upon this quest
So take the good and try to learn from rest
To all the battles we prevailed
Raise a toast we-hey-hey
To all the times that we have failed
Raise a toast we-hey-hey
To all the fires burning true
Raise a toast we-hey-hey
To life, to love, to all of you
Raise a toast tonight
To all the joys we came upon
Raise a toast we-hey-hey
To all the pain we've undergone
Raise a toast we-hey-hey
To all the hearts beating true
Raise a toast we-hey-hey
To life, to love, to all of you
Raise a toast tonight
2. We all have had our share of blues
Miseries and misconstrues
But the truest quality of life
Is measured by the sum of smiles
There will always be a hill to climb
And you may not even make the heights
Sometimes downhill is an easy slide
And tomorrow sees the sun arise
So let it go and just enjoy the ride

Greenrose Faire Tampere, Finland
Greenrose Faire plays rousing Celtic folk rock with head-bobbing, toe-tapping rock feel. The Finnish sextet meshes mandolins and violin with rock drums and bass and symphonic synths, and spikes the rollicking attitude with the slightly ominous overtones of Finnish melancholy. Greenrose Faire sounds lively and modern but still tugs at the nostalgia strings for the long-gone days of yore. ... more
