Lyrics: Battle Against Time
... I'm sailing away to undiscovered seas ...
Oh woah ohh...
I see a golden light shining far away
I can't tell if I'll make it there someday
I reach my hands but there's no one on my path
I can't sleep 'cause my body is burning
Cold sweat, cannot breathe, I'm losing my mind
Reflection in the mirror shows a different man at night
And as hours and seconds pass by
I feel my every feeling wither and die
Do I really feel this pain
'cause sometimes I can't tell if I'm awake
Watching to the night, the hope is gone
Carrying so much burden in my heart
Watching to the night with tired eyes
Waiting for nothing all my life
Battle against time
I... battle against time
I am covered with cold ice, I am flying in the black skies
Fighting everyday, but it feels like, it's just the same
Oh time... you cut my heart and soul
You carve my will and passion of life
'cause the days of emptiness are piercing through me like arrows
I feel nothing, but hate and love
So much fire inside, so much left undone
Solo
Watching to the night, the hope is gone
Carrying so much burden in my heart
Watching to the night with tired eyes
Waiting for nothing all my life
Oh woah ohh...
... I'm sailing away and nothing will ever be the same ...
Exclusive Interview with Jari Mäenpää from Wintersun is now up on RUclips.

Great video, guys! Music is my main 'vice'. I'm 23 years old and I don't drink or smoke at all - I get my 'high' from sound. After my brother died in 2014, I attached myself to Wintersun's music. It's a particularly special part of my life, and since the music itself is so powerful and technically brilliant, that helps to further the attachment into more than just sentimentality.
+WintersunExtras sorry to hear about your brother, I just lost my father.
Sorry to hear that mate, I hope you're doing okay.
that opening riff is so sick
+Aboutmonkey hellyeah
Lol I agreed too" I'm not worthy to listen to Wintersun" this is perfection this is true art in the form of epic folk metal.
These guys definitely have earned a high place on my metal playlist. Their music, while it may not be what I typically like to listen to, is so...grand. I really have no other words to describe it. It quite literally is art and paints a really grand portrait.
Awesome reaction!
Interesting fact to know is that Jari wrote this song (as well as Beautiful Death) about a period where he nearly died from tuberculosis and had to remove part of his lung, making him hospitalized for a long time. Knowing that made the song and especially the lyrics even more powerful to me.
I have been listening to this album for 16 years and I somehow never knew that was the inspiration. I always knew there was some real emotion behind "Beautiful Death" and I feel like now there is a whole new layer. Thanks!
Thanks for reacting to my favorite Wintersun song!
The aspect I enjoy most about your guys' reaction videos is that they seem SINCERE. I can't tell you how many "reaction video" posters I've seen on youtube who are obviously faking/playing up their reactions just to gain attention and viewers. Whenever you guys are blown away by a song, it feels sincere and not faked. Hopefully that's truly the case!
Indeed it is, no point on being something you are not. We like it we like it, we don’t we don’t. Thanks for watching.
My favorite Wintersun song.
Yeaaaaaah! It brings so much joy into my life to see you guys fall more and more in love each Wintersun-Day. You still have so much more awe ahead of you from the remaining songs on the album. I can't imagine having to wait one week before each song. It would be like a child anticipating opening its christmas presents, but every week. What a wonderful way to do it too, really. You get to have each song sink in for some time while eagerly awaiting more. I can so relate with you Pedro, for every song I heard, or hear now, I can easily say that it's my favorite. I could say that about almost every song of theirs while I'm listening to it or after. I love Wintersun so much, or perhaps I should rephrase it; I'm IN love with Wintersun. Words fail to describe my feelings.
I envy you guys so much for having discovered Wintersun at this stage. I mean, you guys already have so much material at this point, and with the Wintersun studio being built not too long in the future, Jari is going to throwing albums out left and right.
I discovered Wintersun back in 2007-2008 around 10 years ago when I was just 16 years old and this album was the only album out. They instantly became my favorite band and music to listen to. I had to wait many years for each album to come out, but it's so worth it in the end. Jari is the God of Melody.
Excited for next week! So until next time, enjoy yourselves guys!
+Rebecca Hope you are an angel in the way you use your words.
aww :3
I love your reactions, it's like watching myself listening this album for the first time xD
In my opinion is one of the best albums in history, Jari Is a complete musical genius.
This song is just pure ear candy from start to finish! Can't wait to see these guys playing this (and rest of the album) live in may 😍😍😍
Hi guys, Jari's fan here \m/ This one is beyond measure...of the charts, eargasm!
I just found you guys last night (well, early morning TBH) and when I saw you listening to Wintersun's Time, I thought you should be listening to Battle Against Time, which you just did! This is maybe my favorite song from Wintersun, and a good soundtrack when I do running in winter.
I CANT BELIEVE YOU GUYS HAVEN'T LISTENED TO DISSECTION YET!... Much disappoint.. very cry!
"Night's blood" (1995) & "The somberlain" (1993). Two of the best songs. Now go react to them please!!! =)
Night's blood with onscreen lyrics - watch?v=9XWpndHpV9A
The somberlain with onscreen lyrics - watch?v=4mV0D3bTltI
02:49 you sounded like a boy opening a christmas present haha :D Awesome video ;)
I’ve never watched somebody enjoy a wintersun exactly the way I do. You guys both together are pretty much how I react. 🤣🤣🤣 lots of air guitar and lots of stank face. Love it. Peace bros.
Hey guys,and hello from Norway. I love to see how Wintersun create the same fantastic feelings in you as in me. Wintersun is pure art :).
Hahahaha this is why the people go crazy with Wintersun! Other people think: "yeah yeah you are a fanboy, Wintersun is a normal band, please calm down". Your reaction is what happen to every person who listen to Wintersun seriously! Obviously, there are others fantastics bands and songs too. I like your reactions (both). Keep it guys!
I love Jari's guitar play in this song so much it almost makes me want to try and learn how to play guitar. Jari truly makes his guitar sing in this song.
+JaL90 he makes that guitar cry
It was so fun rocking out with you guys from 2 years ago listening to one of my favourite songs. It's so pure! I too am not worthy for Wintersun - this album is too damn amazing.
Wintersun is the most awesome band ever existed!
You definitely need some wintersun t shirts!
+Lukas Wuttke I am waiting for some generous souls to send us two XLs lol 😂
My favorite Wintersun track!!! Stunning amazing mindblowing!!!
❤️ you guys are goals
I come back and listen to this song Atleast once a week. It’s my rejuvenation.
That song really makes you exhausted while listening it. Super fast... gotta love that drumming of Kai Hahto.
Can't wait your reactions of Death and The Healing or Sadness and Hate...
Kai Hahto = One of the best drummers in the world, insanely talented guy.
I thought Dirk Verbeuren is the pinnacle of extreme metal drumming in terms of creativity and groove, but this guy is overpowered af.
I knew you guys would like this one. Great song...hard to pick a "favorite" from this album for me, but this song is right up there. After about 100 start to finish listens of this CD, I'm still just blown away by it...just incredible.
+madDdog 67 no soft spots so far. Flawless
Glad you updated your concerts with Sabaton!
+Phireo the kid doesn't know yet. I will be surprising him. We will also attend Havok in March have to update that one
Hahaha hilarious reaction...still more to come so... probably you will say "this is my favourite song" again haha. Btw still waiting for Lost Hirizon -higlander monstrous song. Keep rolling guys☺ greets from me and lil princess of mine
Next one is Death and Healing my personal favourite on this album:)
By the way. I’ve never seen anyone enjoy this band the way you do. I think it’s why I love watching this so much. Finally somebody else jams out to this the same way I do.
In 1997, Jari also created a demo album called Immemorial before creating Wintersun. So these are the oldest recordings of Jari. Why don't you check it out too. These are fucking epic songs: Fly into the sky, A chance to live again, Fading Miracles and When the Rain ends.
And there is also the song Memory by Jari with an insane performance and Solo created in 2001
And now, my friend, he has released even older recordings. Immemorial not oldest at all. Hope you bought the Time Package.
Hell yeah !! Fantastic song, one of the best of the albums
Show the love to the legend Wintersun
Faixa perfeita!
Cada riff mais foda que o outro. E o solo? Não da pra descrever...
After having heard all the songs from Wintersun I suggest you to go further with jari songs and listen to Ensiferums first two albums
I wonder where you gonna find starchild on youtube. It's nearly impossible to find on youtube, at least for me^^
I knew you guys would love this song. It's my favourite from this album xD. You'll probably love Starchild too and will be hard tô decide which one is better.
Btw, react to Equilibrium - Blut im Auge
I'm waiting for you guys to do Starchild ;) Meanwhile when you don't do Wintersun, can you check out Involuntary Doppleganger of Archspire?
If you like wintersun you should react to Dissection's first 2 albums. They were the first to combine cold black/death metal, and they're still unmatched in that subgenre. 'Thorns of Crimson Death' would be a great song to react to.
i like so much your FUCKIN* smell and reaction to the music !! god please save this no-hairs man :) :) :) you rock and know what is the TRUE music !!!
As always, great reaction! Truly enjoyed it.
Please do Be'lakor "In Parting"
#HeyGuys you should check Cryogenocide - Sickening Solar Mutations. New band from Finland, they just released their first EP...
They are from my hometown...
Quote: "Cryogenocide is a brutal / technical death metal band from Turku, west-coast of Finland with the aim to create the sickest modern technical death metal brutality Finland has ever spewn"
Great song.
Love the guitar solo, the breaks... if i where the producer of this album, i just would try to make the riffs heavier.
REALLY NICE SHIRTS!!!!! Ghost...forever!
+christianxfb My son saw Ghost for first time when he was 11 and then again this summer. We are huge fans!!!!
lucky him!! I wish I had someone to introduce me to bands like ghost when I was that young :s Unfortunately, I discovered metal at 17 yo....and just in case I am from South America and there metal isnt that popular, they like shit like Pasillos (like doom pop), Reggaeton (it is like hip hop meets reggae and pop), Vein Cutters (Depressive suicidal shit), etc...very embarrassing.
+christianxfb my wife dragged me to Nicky Jam this summer, So I know Reggaeton...Dame La Gasolina
Nice.
Trivium - Sever the Hand. It'll blow your eardrums off
Power metal is the best metal. Epic!
You want something epic? I'm 42 years old. Norwegian, grewing up with the Norwegian scene. If you want a classic? Try Borknagar with Colossus. It will givw toi the chills! 🤘🇳🇴
yes, my friend! i was introduced to them via the album Epic, still one of my favorites to this day
Kai Hahto is a fucking monster, he can keep up with Jari. lol
Wintersun: es un grupo de orgasmos auditivos.
Just wait until next week :) I think now you might start to understand why me and many others were disappointed by so few solos in the latter albums, Jari's solos are just incredible. I think Beyond the Dark Sun and this are the first songs that got me into Wintersun almost 15 years ago.
+Ana198 every time I hear Beyond The Dark Sun I get so hyped, that song is amazing!!!!
Damn I really love watching you two with Wintersun. I watched alot of other reaction videos but they're really boring compared.I feel exactly the same as you, been listening to Wintersun since the start up. My favourite song on this album is this "too". :D
I really think you will enjoy this one, and would be lovely to watch it:
Dalriada - Zach Klara
Ahhh other good band for reaction is Nevermore. Songs like "Enemies of reality" or " Born" or " Final product".
Jorge Antonio de Oliveira Pinto don't forget "This Godless Endeavor"... that song is completely mind blowing.
And before listening to Nevermore listen Sanctuary first... "Battle Angels" is the shit... Warrel Dane's vocals were never as good in Nevermore as they were on that song.
Yes, this song is very good too.
Can you guys do a reaction to Tuska20 - The Anniversary Song, it has many famous finnish musician in it (including. Jari, Teemu and Kai from Wintersun and many more.)
You probably record these in advance which means next week you're doing starchild. Here's the link to a video of the album version of the song, since it's not on youtube. Don't use live videos, they're shit quality (except the tuska 2013 one) and they downtune it because Jari struggles to sing it live, it's his best vocal performance after loneliness.
www.zapkolik.com/video/wintersun-starchild-548509
zeesus.bandcamp.com/track/starchild-20 for the remastered 2.0
Actually Death and the Healing comes before Starchild in correct album order. Also i would recommend the remastered (2.0) versions instead. I can upload Starchild 2.0 too if needed.
yea but they probably record these in advance, like, today they're probably reacting to death and the healing so they can upload it next week. It's a common youtuber practice
and yea, upload the remastered version, but NOT on youtube because it'll be deleted instantly
Yeah that would indeed be the case if they're recording these so much in advance. I just uploaded it into bandcamp with the best possible quality: zeesus.bandcamp.com/track/starchild-20
Other 2.0 versions can be found on "WintersunExtras" RUclips channel.
They should just keep reacting to the 2.0 versions on WintersunExtras channel, the remastered songs sound way better than the 1.0 version. Don't need to visit some obscure site for the ''real quality''.
+Krofius yes that's why i uploaded the remastered Starchild to bandcamp, i hope A&P sees this so they can listen to it.
Could you please do Memory from Jari Maenpaa. Fucking epic song.
In case of an urgent need of melodic (power?) metal, please check out Beast in Black - Born Again. They just released their debut album last friday and it's a killer! ruclips.net/video/TZcWVsDSqpE/видео.html
SABATON!
POLYPHIA- AVIATOR!!!!!!
u.u still waiting starchild! hahaha , guys u r awesome!!!, i hope u can react to Eluveitie-Tegernako or any song from KALMAH!
+Mario Guerra we have done 1 Kalmah song, Seventh Swamphony
Try Bitter Metallic Side
Plz do a review on rise of evil sabaton
#HEYGUYS!!! You should do more Hatebreed. I know you reacted to Seven Enemies and you hated it, but it was the worst song from their latest album, you should do songs like Honor Never Dies, Looking Down The Barrel of Today, A.D and I Will Be Heard, those are great songs. Even if you don't want to react to it, you should listen to it on your own free time. Most of those songs aren't even 3 minutes long, so you have nothing to lose.
+Emile17 I am planning doing Looking Down The Barrel of Today this month....stay tuned
Man you guys should react to disasterpiece live in London 02 by slipknot or looking down the barrel of today by hate breed
Wintersun ist great.
Equilibrium is the Wintersun from Germany, would be worth a react.
Preferably stuff from the Album "Sagas" or "Turis Fratyr" the other three albums are ok, too :D
for example: ruclips.net/video/Yom8nNqmxvQ/видео.html
Please react to powerwolf songs like we drink your blood, army of the night and many more
+Emilie Tønnessen my friend your wish will be our command. We are looking at looking into Powerwolf very soon
08:28 LMAOOO :D
Please react to Wolven - The Uninvited
React to cipher system communicate the storm!!!!
Can you guys react to Mushroomhead - Qwerty? Nice videos, keep it going
Next reaction from Opeth, please
Listen or react to Abnormality - Mechanisms of Omniscience
While this song is a fan favourite, it's one of my least favourite Wintersun songs. Extremely excited about next sunday because it's gonna be truly fantastic! A real highlight of the album. Also, the song after that "Starchild" is also insane and it's Jari's own favourite :)
Right? I like all of their songs but this is towards the bottom of the list. Still a great song though. Starchild has to be my favorite from this album as well
But... the chorus.
dudes, some Swallow the Sun maybe : D
Am I the only one that it's not that crazy about Wintersun??
yes you are the only one
+MetalAtog I think so lol
