about

The song features eight puffed up strongmen world leaders.The key to the message of the lyrics is the hebrew term "Təqêl" which is sung by Harri Heikkanen. The word Təqêl appears in the mysterious story of Babylons King Belshazzar (556–539 BC). In the story King Belshazzar, which jewish tradition presents as unjust and depraved, was having an impious party. During the bacchanal fingers of a human hand appeared and wrote on the plaster of the wall the inscription: MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN. The text was a message to the king. Now without going any deeper into hebrew linguistics and context, Tekel here can be translated "you have been weighed on the scales and found deficient". Belshazzars end came soon enough.

I put the song out only a couple of weeks before Putins unscrupulous attck to Ukraine. I believe there is an objective scale, call it cosmic or transcendental, by which all of us will be weighted according to our deeds. When will this happen and how will this happen I cannot tell, but it will. Putin is now on this scale. Despite his enermous hybris he is mere a negligible man and one day the justice will prevail. This is something that maybe can bring us a little comfort in these troubled times.
