So, Stratovarius. How about telling us the story behind this song?

Never heard of this before. Yea, what is the story behind it. This is what Wikipedia has to say about Vapaus. Interesting.

I've heard about the song, but I didn't know thats what the song was about.











Vapaus (Demo Version) Lyrics
Hiljaa, hiljaa kuulen kutsun tn
Pidn kiinni nyt m palleistain, ne on mun ystvin
Kuulen kutsun peniskateuden
Kun en pysty edes kusemaan katsomatta viereen
Painan pn ulko.. hihihih, vittu!
Muista pyyhkii aina Embolla tai susi sinut vie
Mar.. vittu.. marssin tahtiin Timo Tolkin paikkaan jumalan
Kun kuoli sinun puolesta ja voitti humalan
Helvetti sua odottaa, raukka syntinen
Sun luojaas tytyy pelt ja kunnioittaa
Viimein vaihdoin sukupuoleni
Naisen ruumiissa on kivempi maassa tallustaa
Ystvni on Chris Owen
Mkin kirjan kohta julkaisen ja paljastan m poveni
Painan pn ulkokymln
Muista pyyhkii aina Embolla tai susi ja Pekka sinut vie
Laulu t on vailla merkityst
Sanat soljuu itsestn
Nettiriippuvuus on huono ystv
Nopee yhteys on ainoo ratkaisu

its liberty demo in finnish with funny lyrics. kotipleto even laughs when recording.

we even google translate can't figure out finnish

Shut up, shut up I hear the call tn
Pidn up now palleistain m, they are my ystvin
I hear the call peniskateuden
When I can not even look kusemaan next
I press the outer pn .. hihihih, fuck!
Remember to always wipe Embolla wolf or you will
November .. fuck .. march pace Timo Tolkin place of God
When you died, and won the hops
Hell awaits you, poor sinner
Sunday luojaas tytyy pelt, and respect for
Finally, I changed my sex
A woman's body is kivempi country pad
Ystvni is Chris Owen
Mkin Book Section will publish and disclose poveni m
I press the pn ulkokymln
Remember to always wipe Embolla or wolf and Pekka you take
Song R, has no meaning
Words soljuu itsestn
Net addiction is bad ystv
Nopee connection is ainoo solution

here is the youtube post translation
(English)
Silently, silently I hear this call
I hold my balls, they are my friends
I hear the call of penis envy
When I can't even urinate without looking beside me
I push my head out... hihihih, fuck!
Remember to wipe with Embo or wolf will take you

Mar.. fuck.. marching on the rhythm of Timo Tolkki, the son of god
When he died for you and defeated intoxication
Hell is waiting for you, poor sinner
You have to fear and respect your creator

Finally I changed my sex
It's better to walk the earth in woman's body
Chris Owen is my friend
I will also publish a book soon and expose my bosom
I push the head in out (...or something) lavatory
Remember to wipe with Embo or wolf and Pekka will take you

So, its about masturbation and shemales?

Ah come on, guys, the story is old and there's nothing special about it. The Strato guys were having fun with recording a funny demo version of Liberty. It's about the really important things in life. So what?

Haha, noice!

I remember my friends used to play in a band and we loved to create stupid lyrics for the demos, it's a great source of entertainment for everyone involved.

There has been a thread on this song years ago... some translations and backgrounds...

Oh really? I must've missed it while lurking if it isn't deleted.

The Google translator actually got this one correct.

It's: paikkaan jumalan = (to the) place of God
not: poika jumalan = son of God

I think POIKA (Christ himself )is more adeqate

No, it's about onanism and gender dysphoria.

very good song, I had never listened this before Who is Chris Owen?

Another funny "vapaus"-related demolyrics can be found from disc two of intermission special edition. First out of two songs on the disc is Freedom(demo). The chorus is almost the same as on albumversion. Then the rest of the lyrics.. here's few parts

"I found a whore and killed with a knife
xxxx xxxxxx xxxxxx and better take to the grave
it's not a same"

"I see the whore without her head
it's time for me to finally go to bed empty my balls
In my dreams I will see a girl she's a russian whore that I will explore I explore"

To me it seems like the lyrics have been copied straight from the diary of Jack the Ripper.
But, if you have song about freedom, why shouldn't you put in the lyrics you will?

I think these Freedom and Liberty demos are good example of that "I walk to my own song"
-attitude

Also the demos of Fantasia and Learning to Fly, have funny lyrics... related to food, i guess...
