Lyrics
Spoken Intro
"Kaiken takana on nainen… kaapin takana on nainen."
Verse 1
Castle yard is breathing, shadows call my name,
Betonfuss beside me, whispering my shame.
Olkku sings temptation, foam upon the spear,
Sauna light is glowing, but the wife is near.
Pre-Chorus
If I stumble drunk tonight,
words from Spain may see the light…
Chorus
Behind it all lies the castle yard,
knights within me clash so hard.
Beer or silence, truth or scars,
Betonfuss draws the line in stars.
Verse 2
Lances made of secrets, shields of Aura gold,
sinappi upon me, stories left untold.
Betonfuss is laughing, “come and taste the war!”
But in the dark I wonder, what I’m fighting for.
Pre-Chorus
If I ride the ale too far,
she will see the foreign scar…
Chorus
Behind it all lies the castle yard,
duel of voices, torn apart.
Sauna waiting, door ajar,
Betonfuss holds the final card.
Bridge
⚔️ Ghosts of Turku cheer my fall,
echoes bouncing off the wall.
Should I raise my glass or keep my vow?
Kaiken takana… who wins now?
Final Chorus
Behind it all lies the castle yard,
knight and shadow, soul unbarred.
Foam and silence, scars and stars,
Betonfuss still guards my heart.
