  Karjajuht
 
Life is not given to us to suffer and wail, life is given for standing upright on your own two feet. For supporting those who are weaker than you, and to accept help from those who are greater than you. For keeping your own tribe and pride. Only when “me” becomes “us” can we stand strong. Together. Shoulder to shoulder, back to back!

Metsatöll gives its thanks to all friends and true tribe fellows on both sides of the nation’s borders. Let’s stick together, the pack will keep together and the blood of the savage is hotter than molten lead! Our people at home - we bow deeply before you, it is your support and care that keeps our shoulders straight!
