Die finnischen Rocker BEARWOOD, 2020 gegründet von Gitarrist und Songwriter Marko Karhu, haben mit dem ehemaligen Nightwish Mitglied und Solokünstler MARKO HIETALA ein verdammt prominentes Mitglied in ihren Reihen. Jetzt hat die Band ihren Track `Our Land` online gestellt, der sich inhaltlich gegen den russischen Angriffskrieg auf die Ukraine richtet.
BEARWOOD erklären zum Video:
“This song was born on February 24, 2022 – the day an illegal war was declared against a sovereign state There are moments in life when you realize that you can’t single-handedly change the injustices in the world, but you still feel an urgent need to do something. In this case, we resorted to what we know best: music. This song is a declaration of resilience, a voice for those who refuse to be silenced or forced to bow to the terror spread by dictators. It speaks for people who stand their ground and fight for what is rightfully theirs – and who will not let history be rewritten unilaterally. After all, no one should be forced to leave their homes or families because of ideological, political, or religious persecution escalating into violence and war. The basic human need for a safe haven and a roof over our children and families should be a human right. Tyrants may rise, but time will crush them like those before. This house is my home, this is our land.“
MARKO HIETALA könnt ihr Live wieder bei einigen Shows mit TARJA auf der “Living the Dream“ Tour 2025 sehen.

Lyrics:
This is the soil where I was born
And my elders before me since the break of dawn
You tell me it’s yours, my history a lie
In your quest you want all that’s mine
This country I love was built with our hands
This house is my home, this is our land
You’re finally out cold as a master of war
Time will crush you like all tyrants before
You darken my doorstep with your lust for my land
Greedy for the gold ’neath our rock and sand
I will speak softly but hold a big stick
I’ll stand my ground, fight brick by brick
A nation united stands hand in hand
We’ll protect our children, this is our land
This country I love was built with our hands
This house is my home, this is our land
You might win the battle but you’ll lose the war
Time will crush you like all tyrants before
Breaking the peace without reason or blame
Puts his blood on your children and your people to shame
Be ware and sleep light ‚cause with all our powers
We will take hold what is rightfully ours
My people slain or tied by their hands
Won’t bow to terror, this is our land
This country I love was built with our hands
This house is my home, this is our land
There’s no honor in destruction of war
Time will crush you like all tyrants before
There’s no honor in destruction of war
Time will crush you like all tyrants before
