Hi everyone,

Hope it's not the wrong place to post my question, I'm new here.

On the "Kallohonka" album by Jonne (https://www.metal-archives.com/albums/J ... nka/639425), the chorus of "Rajat ruumiini" says:

Rajat ruumini rajat henkeni
Revityt rajat, helppo on kuolla!


Is this punctuation correct? No commas in the first line?

Thanks a lot!

That's one of those cases wherr a poet can exercise a bit of creative freedom. In normal prose, I'd put in punctuation, but in lyrics that's quite fine. In the second line, the stuff after the comma is a complete sentence with a verb, so the comma is necessary.

Thank you! The thing is, I'm going to get a tattoo with this phrase, so I want the punctuation to be correct without any context.
