Callisto is a post-metal band from Turku, Finland. The band was formed in 2001 in Kokkola. Whilst their early works are hardcore/metalcore, their first album True Nature Unfolds has a strong sludge metal and doom influence and their second album Noir is more influenced by progressive and more dynamic sound. Their third album Providence was released in 2009, introducing wide use of clean vocals in their music.

He is the sovereign

Knows everyone's heart

Has known it from the very start

Create the stage with guilt and regret

The diagnosis unheeded

There lies a cure that concedes to sickness

Healing for those who desire it

Today is the day

Acknowledge and stay

Wear the sackcloth and scatter the ashes

Like a scholar in the dark accuses

God in the dock will see through all excuses

The ancient man came forth and touched

The robe with great respect and feared

Steer them right

Lead them onward and over the shrine

Son of Leah, you are not alone

Breathe, sarcophagus

A cry of a vulture, a cry of a man

Son of Leah, you are not on your own
