	Story Behind the Song Story? Well, I had this galloping guitar thing in my mind for many years, and it took very long to improvise those other parts. The lyrics were written during a theology lecture. The professor was quite boring and I guess my motivation wasn't quite high either. If the lyrics have some kind of meaning or message, I'm not aware of it. To me those words are just a little story. I'm quite pleased, that I could slip some Star Trek: Deep Space Nine episode titles into the lyrics. The song was recorded in my friend's (Thanks, Hans!) apartment in Helsinki, Finland, which we called "Studio Koppi" (Studio Box) because the room was so close. The song was recorded in July 2002, but it is still unfinished. Lyrics AFLOAT IN THE SEWAGE WATER I push to flush my brain Down into the drain Down below the heavens I'm on my way again I hear the echo of my father's voice Still calling out my name In this underworld There is no day, no night Darkness in the tunnels A world without light I can feel the desperation Already reaching for my mind Down below the gutter I can see my father Together with my mother Afloat in the sewage water Down below the gutter The image of my father Afloat in the sewage water Shadows and symbols Like tattoos on my skin Sacrifice of angels Down here in filth and sin The temptations of the Dark Side Arise deep inside of me They try to poison me It's pumping in my veins It feels like an express train That's speeding through my brain Regret shall be my antidote To cast the dark thoughts away Down below the gutter I can see my father Together with my mother Afloat in the sewage water Down below the gutter The image of my father Afloat in the sewage water Hiding in shadows They go hand in hand I found those fallen angels And their hoofprints in the sand How the mighty have fallen So far away from father's land I've seen enough No need to hang around I pull out the plug Gravity can't hold me down My pipeline ride to the light has arrived When I hear that flushing sound Down below the gutter I can see my father Together with my mother Afloat in the sewage water Down below the gutter The image of my father Afloat in the sewage water
