Rock 'n roll angels...
Overheard in Finland had a lovely little tale of a small child, about five years old, sitting on a bus with her mother. The radio starts to play Hard Rock Hallelujah, Finland's winning Eurovision entry from last year. The child perks up, recognises the song, and announces happily to her mother "Listen! It's the national anthem!"
Oh yeah. And the kid wasn't necessarily wrong. I mean, if
"All we need is lightning
With power and might
Striking down the prophets of false
As the moon is rising
Give us the sign
Now let us rise up in awe"
can't be read as a variation of the other unofficial anthem, Jean Sibelius' Finlandia
"Finland, behold, thy daylight now is dawning,
the threat of night has now been driven away.
The skylark calls across the light of morning,
the blue of heaven lets it have its way,
and now the day the powers of night is scorning:
thy daylight dawns, O Finland of ours!"
then, um... I'm just reading too much into things. Still, there is a bit of us-the-chosen-people about it. So well done that little kiddie!
