These frantic memories
They bring me down, tormenting peace
The darkness drowns me
I'm restless without sleep
When day breaks, I'm still awake,
I recall my mistakes

I'll be never alone, never again, never alone,

I feel the wind in my hair
And it's whispering, telling me things
Of the storm that is gathering near
Full of power I'm spreading my wings

Now I'm leaving my worries behind
Feel the freedom of body and mind
I am starting my journey, I'm drifting away with the wind

I hear footsteps closing in
I recognize them from my early days
The times are different
The image remains the same
Repeating back flashes remembering the name
Approaching visions of things I can't recall
A familiar smile awakes the pain

The wind is blowing
There's ashes in the air
The heat is flowing
You stare in despair

Hear the warning
The times are changing fast
The Earth is crying

Hear my call don't waste your time
remember what we're fighting for
Hear my voice take my hand
We've got to win this war

We were meant to be free
not to live in slavery

He's crawling out from the asylum
Under cover of the night
Insanity of his crazy mind
It's useless for you now to hide
Walking the streets someone's in sight
He's waiting for you in the night
Hiding in the shadows
Hiding in the alleys

Time waits for no one
So they say
It goes on forever

The tears of pain
I see in your eyes
How can we change for the better?

Scam is the way
How they play
How they make their move
Damned everyday
What they say
How they forge our truth

We've seen it all so many times before

I'm back in the air, but I've nowhere to go
I nervously glance at the mountains below
Two hours of sleep, seven more 'til the show
I pray to the codess of coffee to keep me alive.

The crew's getting wasted, we're back in the sky.
I join in the fray, 'coz the rules don't apply
"who cares anyway – when we're all gonna fry!-"

I'm your god computer's my name
Give the password or you will fail
I will lock you into my mind
Your number is all you will find
Don't try to run
(I'll take your life and the will of your power)
Under the sun
(There is no place where you can hide)

I can't explain the way I feel sometimes
The loss of words, the chaos in my mind
It seems like I can only bring you pain
The passion fades away
Like tears in the rain

And every time you try to reach for me
I feel afraid, I feel I’m in too deep

Seasons they come seasons they go
Observing them in their perfect flow
Changing my life as they pass me by
Drying my tears letting them die
In the sunrise I am born again
In the sunset I die again

What will you do when all fails?

I'm staring at the wall
Sick and tired of all
Manic depression makes me crawl
It makes me small
I need some peace of mind
The pressure makes me blind
The labyrinth of pain, the exit I must find
It's all inside of me, the answers lie within

Reading all the daily news
Full of crime, hate and abuse
Where is this world heading to

Can't you get it in your head
No brighter future lies ahead
There's nowhere to hide
We're lost and we're out of time

Let me take you to the far away places
Where you've never been to the orient lands
Soon you will notice the mountains and forests
We're flying over them now

Don't you be afraid, just take my hand
as we race with four winds
Welcome to the land of mystery

Lauri Porra

I'm dreaming awake,
My thoughts won't let me go
Feels like my mind has turned into my foe
The fear of tomorrow,
The fear of today
I'm trying to stay,

You deserve everything
Everything that you need
And all that you long for

But I, I'm rarely around
Every train feels outbound
I wish I could give you so much more

What is wrong with a man destroying the land
Our planet is full of waste
Sheltering ozone layer is no more a shield
the temperature is rising up

Now it's time to stop this madness
preventing increasing sadness
Let's put end to all this while we can

The land of ice and snow
Where the midnight sun blows
Hundred thousand lakes glow
In the land of ice and snow

Northern lights guide our way
Come whatever may
Forest gods protect our day

Living on the edge of falling down
Like each day would be your last one
Reaching for the stars that shine so far
Take my hand it will be alright
For you and me to go

Look into my eyes they are black as night now
You can see your reflections I tell you no lies

Don't fear the darkness
Let it find you if it must
Open the door and
Embrace the sadness

Pain won't stain you
It will only make you strong
Hurt won't haunt you

Hey you take a look aroud
Can you feel the change begin?
Soon it will be too late
If you don't wake up
Outside the winds are bloring
And the people are staring so cold
The look that's in their eyes
Tells me something's wrong

Shades of night
I'm walking through sleeping village
that is having a dream of thousand dreams
Moon is guiding my way through the land
the snow is silently falling
from the sky that is lit by million stars

Nightfall

Late at night I find myself again
Wondering and watching TV
I can't believe what's on the screen
Something that I wouldn't like to see

Many rare species will perish soon
And we'll be short on food
Why do we have to be so selfish

I've never felt like this before
Am I awaken or drifting
There's a hole in the sky
Am I alive? Did I survive?

Broken pictures on my wall
Story of fallen heroes
Now stare ahead with their blind eyes on

On the long and winding road
If I say there's no tomorrow
If I say there's only sorrow
Would you ever let me be?

'Cause I'm drowning in despair
I can barely stay in focus
And I can't get it together anymore

I sail away from my homeland
My mission's to raid and plunder
I fight, I will rage, I will sunder
I hail the Thunder God

I look at the sky
Watch the waves turning into foam
I send my prayers against the wind

Music by Tolkki, Words by Kotipelto
If I could stay awake for awhile
it would be another morning
don't wanna fall asleep now when
everything seems so far and beyond
Walking down a familiar road
but the darkness is misleading me
I know I should feel fear inside

Sign of the times and writings on the wall
they show me it's time has come
Order of a new kind we will all find
stronger than never before
Things are pretty much the same
like in the year thirty eight
oh won't we ever learn
This time is't gonna be different

These empty days are filling me with pain
After I left it seems my life is only rain
My heart is longing to the better times
When everything was still so fine

I wonder why it happens so fast
You give your heart away knowing it might not last
I'm still here waiting for the rain to fall

Sign of the times and writings on the wall...
they show me it's time has come.
Order of a new kind we will all find
stronger than never before!
Things are pretty much the same
like in the year thirty eight...
oh won't we ever learn
This time is't gonna be different

I don't know what to do
I don't know who you are
I'm calling from the silence
We have gone too far

I try to understand you, your life has been so cruel
Please try to see it my way
I've got something to say

I don't know what to do
I don't know who you are
I'm calling from the silence
We have gone too far

I try to understand you, your life has been so cruel
Please try to see it my way
I've got something to say

I'm waiting for a train
To take away the pain and ease my mind
I hear the tracks squeal
It makes me want to scream and let the world know how I feel

One way journey, no need for a seat
I'm beat, I won't be coming back
And what I'm learning, this life will be turning

Once again I try to make things work
facing all the power of society
Searching all the answers of the life
I'll never make it on my own

Was I meant to fail every time?
Seems to me thats my destiny
Is this all that's left to me

The setting sun creates another world
The shadows fall another day is in the end
The Paradise is sleeping peacefully
And one more day is again history

Tell me can we go on like this?
Everybody is living in a bliss
Are these the last times of our Mother Earth?

A new day is rising in ancient Babylon
revealing mysteries to see.

And the endless caravan
never ending it's journey
with the wings
of the wind I will fly.

Another winter day is gone
I lay here all alone
There are many like me
Here behind these closed doors

Somehow I lost the way
Future let me astray
Deep into [...]

Before The Winter

Before the summer turns to winter
Before the dreams will turn to snow
I see the yellow leaves are falling
And soon I know I have to go

But I'll be back before the summer

(Music:Tolkki/Lyrics:Kotipelto)

Again I see you standing there watching me.
Your gaze, those eyes are tantalizing openly,
inviting me to get close to you, can't help myself.
There's fascination in the air.

I try to fight this strong sensation but

демо

Tonight I try to find out in secrecy
I see, I feel what will be my destiny
I feel the blood in my veins
I cannot stop it
I've just got to let it run

Слеп

When you tell me that your truth
Когда ты говоришь мне, что твоя правда
will set me free
Освободит меня,
Don't believe you and I wish

Born under the fire
An innocent child, pure-hearted and silent
The world is a fight
My everyday life
in war and strife

Went down to the wire
They said I was weak, told I was a liar

I've been lost far too long
Need to find my way back home
Dig a hole and hide inside
Live to see the morning break
Just a wayward soul
Played the last card, lost it all
All is gone, but one remains
In your hands I place my life

When the day turned into night
When the stars run out of light
Will you be there to sing my song
I call your name
To maybe shield the flame
Cause the night is dark and long

In the kingdom of the visible

Here in the Universe
I find some things that are so hard to understand
The vastness of space just takes my breath away
I see through history
The years they come and go
The seconds that will shape my destiny
The time that we spend here
Is precious, that I see so clear

I have been sailing across the oceans
Flying across the blue sky
Without never finding the answer
The answer to question why

Just when you think you reach it
It's gone

Summer's gone a while ago
The daylight dims away
I'm watching here how the snow begins to fall
Yesterday's like a dream
A memory in my head
Like all the life's gone behind the winter wall

I'm lighting up the candles and lock the door

I Wake up in the morning
So far away from home
Trying to make it through the day
Many miles are between us
I'm sending my love
From this payphone

Through the storms we've wandered

These frantic memories
They bring me down, tormenting peace
The darkness drowns me
I'm restless without sleep
When day breaks, I'm still awake,
I recall my mistakes

I'll be never alone, never again, never alone,

The times are changing so fast
I wonder how long it lasts
The clock is ticking, time is running out
The hatred fills the Earth
And for what is worth
We're in the end before we know

Throughout the years

Went into the plane was scared like hell
tried to relax for awhile
But when we took off I feared we would fall
waving goodbye to this life

I'm flying through winds tonight
no sign of the dawn or light

You wanna go to heaven but you never want to die
A silent scream for freedom turn to
Fire turn to water turn to
Stone’s the same, the sky’s the same, it doesn’t roll away
The other side where life goes on is
Close and yet you know it’s just a lie

Now it is time for you to close your eyes
They've seen much pain it's slowly filling your mind
Pretty as they are but now so pale
You better leave all your worries far behind

Not long ago when you had the Fire
Burning inside of you brighter than any flame
You were the one that I believed in

Looking back through time to my childhood days
I used to have a place where I could escape the reality
But lately things have been so difficult for me
Trying to reach for the light
in the fall of darkness

Waiting watching my life
I'm wasting my time

Looking back through time to my childhood days
I used to have a place where I could escape the reality
But lately things have been so difficult for me
trying to reach for the light in the fall of darkness

Waiting watching my life I'm wasting my time
I'm losing grip from life
Going back to my dreamspace leaving it all behind

Eagle Heart (оригинал Stratovarius)

All through the night he is lying awake
Wond'ring how much more can he take,
Watching the walls where the shadows dance,
Drifting away into a trance
And his eyes are blazing with fire

Elements -- Wind, Fire, Water, Earth
Elements -- Fear, Anger, Sorrow, Joy

Pools of sounds fill my mind
A universe of shapes
Kaleidoscope of colours
Stargardens blossom in their solitude
Spiral architecture

I've never felt like this before
Am I awake? Am I drifting?
There's a hole in the sky!
Am I alive? Did I survive?

Broken pictures on my wall
A story of fallen heroes
Now stare ahead with their blind eyes on

Lauri Porra

I'm staring at the last rays of the sun,
The final night's begun
Shadows fall and hide the earth beneath them
My land has fallen deep into the hands
Of men with evil plans
Times have gone, when peace reigned over our lands

And the burning sky
Flames are raising high
Ground is turning red
All but one is dead
Dying man, his hands above his head

Through the ruthless night
Fought with all his might

When clouds are covering the sky I can't help thinking what's behind.
In a fading evening I can feel strange thoughts in my mind.

What if we aren't alone here, there's a clone of everyone somewhere
that duplicates all that we do. Not like me not like you but our other ego.

There ain't no wars or crises only joy and compromises time has
stood still.

* Computer: Warning - event horizon up ahead. Warning *

Standing outside in darkness
My breath is beaming
The skies open wide
I hear the silent screaming

Deep in the dark, somewhere in space

I thought I could not find
Someone who's so alike
The way you think, I feel it in my heart

It is so hard to see
What's happening to me
Two souls united that can't be apart

'm sitting by the calm lake
And watch the setting sun
My feet are in the water
The journey's just begun
In the mist there is a boat and it's heading towards me
On the deck the lady's holding her hand and I agree

I'm falling into fantasy

Lauri Porra

Feel the night time growing nearer
From amidst the darkness I will start my flight
See the stars are shining clearer
Turn around before you're blinded by the light

I am made of burning flame, cast from coldest ice

Reach a star, travel so far or find out who you really are
Climb a hill, learn a skill, all of your dreams you can fulfill
Take a dream, make it real, don't let yourself give in to fear
Come with me you can make it anywhere

Sing along, to this song, and let it show that you're strong
Don't pretend, help a friend, they are with you until the end
You will see, you can be whatever you would like to be

Walking down the path that leads me to my memories
Pacing all the way without a care in my stride
Where are the friends of my yesterday
have they moved on with they lives
Can we still laugh and joke about things like before

There's no need to hide the past that I have left behind
It's a good resource somewhere for me to find

I was born within a dream
and awoken by a thunderous scream
Fireborn, burning within
I can feel it burn under my skin

Hold my head up high
tonight we're gonna fly
be all that we can be

I stand alone in the darkness
the winter of my life came so fast
memories go back to my childhood
to days I still recall

Oh how happy I was then
there was no sorrow there was no pain
walking through the green fields

They try to give me answers to questions I've never asked.
I'll have no part in their conspiracy.
I guess I am the kind of guy that will never stray.
The thing I need is privacy, some guiding, depriving, misleading and combining.
They're watching our every move.
They can try to bind our arms, but they can't chain our minds or hearts.
We will keep our faith inside our souls and never let it go
We're Forever Free

They try to give me answers to questions I've never asked.
I'll have no part in their conspiracy.
I guess I am the kind of guy that will never stray.
The thing I need is privacy, some guiding, depriving, misleading and combining.
They're watching our every move.
They can try to bind our arms, but they can't chain our minds or hearts.
We will keep our faith inside our souls and never let it go
We're Forever Free

I'm dreaming awake,
My thoughts won't let me go
Feels like my mind has turned into my foe
The fear of tomorrow,
The fear of today
I'm trying to stay,
I'm trying to run away

I stand alone in the darkness
The winter of my life came so fast
Memories go back to my childhood
To days I still recall

Oh how happy I was then
There was no sorrow there was no pain
Walking through the green fields

Sign of the times and writings on the wall.
They show me, it's time has come.
Order of a new kind, we will all find stronger than never before.
Things are pretty much the same like in year '38.

Oh won't we ever learn.
This time it's gonna be different,
so let's all join our hands

Higher I set my goals everyday I make my own rules that
I will obey each moment
As long as I live
This is the life I was born to lead
Unique chance for me to express myself
And fulfill my dreams
I'm in control of this ship of mine
And everything will be just fine

I saw it in a dream

the day that changed our history

I still can hear the screams

swear it was no mystery

Hear my call
Don't waste your time
Remember what we're fighting for
Hear my voice
Take my hand
We got to win this war

We were meant to be free

5. Glory Of The World

[Music:Johansson/Lyrics:Johansson]

The sun is setting on the pain the people freezing in the rain the
Earth is rolling in her grave
I beg the light up in the sky to make me whole,
to tell me why I can't be bothered to be brave

I was sent out
To the world
From the mission
I just returned
The dust has not settled down yet
Still I am needed more fame to be earned

I thought I could have some rest

Since you were born pushed into corner
and left all alone
Told what to do, obey all the rules
be just like everyone else those fools
Day at the school
teacher's a bully
You're mobbed as a rule
nothing from TV

I feel the wind in my hair,
and it's whispering, telling me things,
of the storm that is gathering near
full the power I'm spreading my wings

Now I'm leaving my worries behind
Feel the freedom of body and mind
I have started my journey,

"I'm sorry, but I don't want to be an emperor. That's not my business. I don't want to rule or conquer anyone. I should like to help everyone if possible - Jew, Gentile - black man - white.

We all want to help one another. Human beings are like that. We want to live by each other's happiness - not by each other's misery. We don't want to hate and despise one another. In this world there's room for everyone and the good earth is rich and can provide for everyone.

The way of life can be free and beautiful, but we have lost the way. Greed has poisoned men's souls - has barricaded the world with hate - has goose-stepped us into misery and bloodshed. We have developed speed, but we have shut ourselves in. Machinery that gives abundance has left us in want. Our knowledge has made us cynical; our cleverness, hard and unkind. We think too much and feel too little. More than machinery we need humanity. More than cleverness, we need kindness and gentleness. Without these qualities, life will be violent and all will be lost.

The aeroplane and the radio have brought us closer together. The very nature of these inventions cries out for the goodness in man - cries for universal brotherhood - for the unity of us all. Even now my voice is reaching millions throughout the world - millions of despairing men, women, and little children - victims of a system that makes men torture and imprison innocent people. To those who can hear me, I say: 'Do not despair.' The misery that is now upon us is but the passing of greed - the bitterness of men who fear the way of human progress. The hate of men will pass, and dictators die, and the power they took from the people will return to the people. And so long as men die, liberty will never perish.

[Music: Tolkki / Lyrics: Tolkki]

Look at me do you see
All the things you could be if you see
Many more usually suddenly
They are claiming you are up against the wall
Fade away nevermore ultimate alter path many cars speeding up
No police anarchist maybe better cos you wanna say

I'm walking the streets and i hear what you say
Advising me tilling me how to play
I know your name it's called Mr.Mean
One thing i've learned you don't know beans

High i fly
I touch the sky
Far above the frozen hearts

Once upon a time I was the scribe of all my dreams
I’ve seen the years turn into dust, now feel the rust in me
I’ve walked the shores of Avalon, I’ve seen the seasons change
I’ve laughed and cried, I’ve lived and died, but only on the page

Now all I have, all I am
All I ever was is here, on the page

В рутине лет

Ты заслужила мечты,
Что тебе так нужны,
И больше, чем это...

Нет-нет, но я заскочу,
Рвется поезд уж в путь.

You faded away
And woe is all that remains
And I have gone astray
My mind full of theory and states
I'm carrying a seed of insanity
A burden of faded memories

Delusion, destruction,

Mother watch your children
The iron fist of fear is ruling our lives
It's not too late to change the course
We can make this world a better place to be in
How much more do we want until we're satisfied?
What happens when we have what we want?
Acquiring more , still there's never enough
We forget those who really are in need

Sometimes I just want to lie in your lap and dive into deep blue.
When the world's too much too bear, to get a way I dive into deep blue.
The ocean of your eyes, I sink into the mystery tonight.
Into deep blue.

When reality is hard I have a place to go, into deep blue.
When I'm not wanted and I'm down, everytime I go into deep blue.
The river of my tears, all my nightmares, my deepest fears.

In the middle of the jungle
There are ruins of temples built along ago
Stone by stone
They were made by the Mayas
A tribe that is not so well-known
Each pictures on the wall
Recorded history
They were gazing at the sky

Time goes by, but you can't rest
Too many things, and you're obsessed
Trying to find some sense to it all

No one knows what you've been through
Like no one cares, but its not true
Turn the page and make a fresh start

The shadow falls on me today
Oh, why can't it fade into the distance?

And darkness calls, no other way
I rage at the riddle of existence

The day's almost gone but you'll carry on
Can you keep the flame for me?

Alone in the prison I made of my mind
Like many mornings before
I stare in the ceiling until I go blind
It's hard to take anymore

I ask from the fools how they slumber away
With all the evil around
But no one can answer and no one can say

In the year before we lost our empire
We were children on the march
We were told we had to serve our empire and die
In our wake we only left destruction
Sent their children to the graves
In the year before we lost our empire and died

The war was lost but we went on

Hey you, take a look around
Can you feel the change begin?
Soon it will be too late
If you don't wake up

Outside the winds are blowing
And the people are staring so cold
The look that's in their eyes

Life will go on
Soon it is gone
It's bigger that we can conceive
Wink of an eye
A thousand years
Into eternity we shed our tears

I'm changing,

Listen to what I have to say:
We could get out of here today.
I'll take you with me if you want to go.
New kind of place, just let me know.

I am a man, I'm not a child
And I am free, 'cause I can feel.

Far in the core of the earth
First it was given birth
We heard the call the message was so clear
The tracks were laid for the future to come

Sons and daughters of the Rising sun
The armies in europe here we come
We run like the wind we play from the heart

Sun is shining
Sky is so blue
I'm filled with hope
It's promising
The course my life is taking
Searching of my truth has brought me here
Facing things with cinfidence
That all will be ok

From the dark, I watch you go away
I will never see you, again...

Every passing day prolongs my pain
I am slowly fading, into the void...

Fades without a sound,
A sound that no one cares to hear

Little boy I miss you The ice is slowly melting from your heart Little boy oh how I've missed you Take my hand and we will never be apart The taste of ice cream on the first summer day The smell of cut grass, remember that? Little boy I miss you Come to the light and feel the sun Little boy oh how I've missed you You used to play into the night and have fun In the jungle of rules you have found your way What happened was never you fault Nobody ever told you that there are More colours than black and white Let me show you a new world Where you don't have to be afraid I owe that to you, little boy Nobody ever told you that there are More colours than black and white Let me show you a new world Where you don't have to be afraid Let me be there for you every day In this world where everybody's gone insane You are told what you can do and who you are Follow me and I will show you a way out from madness I owe that to you, little boy Little boy I'm here for you You can breathe again and feel the life Little boy I'll always be there for you Come to the light and feel the sun

This year has been a nightmare
I've been so low, I don't care
I've dwelled in depths of darkness
Swam across the ocean of pain

I've fed the tabloids, the media
It's a bottomless pit, a redia
Front pages, gossips, knifings, drunken nights and days

Millenium

[Music:Tolkki/Lyrics:Tolkki]

More that I live More clear it's each day We got to change our ways
There is no way to go back anymore Eons rumble through space
We must find new ways to live I know there's so much more to give
Millennium - Where do we go?

Would you move the mountain,
Would you build a tower,
Would you drink the sunshine,
Like a wilted flower?
Would you waste that hour
If you knew this fullmoon would be
The last one you'd see?

[Music: Kupiainen, lyric: Kotipelto/Liimatainen]

I still remember when I was a child
So curious, adventurous and wild
Looked at the world with open eyes
I couldn't tell the truth from all the lies

I was taught how to live, how to behave

The night turns to dawn
The city’s left behind
Those who’ve been blind they will be saved
White stripes on the road they’re guiding my way
Reciting my prayers the road is paved

Through all the years I’ve carried the flame
In the darkest nights as the lightning strikes

Scream at nights
But you won't be heard
It's deep inside
The pain within your head
You cry for help
The torture won't let you go
Your mind is aching
And you can't go on

If I could stay awake for awhile
It would be another morning
Don't wanna fall asleep now when
Everything seems so far and beyond

Walking down a familiar road
But the darkness is misleading me
I know I should feel fear inside

So long I have been accepting what I've seen
Never really speaking my mind
Now the heat's leaking out
I'd like to scream and shout
I want to leave it all behind

There's no one else to turn the wheel
I've got my own life to steer

I've locked myself in silence
and kept denying
That you're already gone
Isolated in the darkness for too long
I'm still holding you before
you fade into oblivion

I can't save you

Son, my father he said to me,
You only dream when you're young.
Some might think that he knew it well,
But I have proved him wrong.

Years have passed and I've grown old,
And time has taken its toll.
Though my days are soon over,

Black day is dawning
All prayers unanswered, laid to rest
If there’s a god he ain’t here now
In daunting darkness we will march
Towards the end with desperate hearts
Too tired to hope, too scared to dream

Let innocence fade, make no sound

Flying to the day
One day to play
With eyes open wide
I am Papillon

I watch the world
Curiously
World is my home

Late at night I find myself again
Wondering and watching TV
I can't believe what is on the screen
Something that I wouldn't care to see
Many rare species will perish soon
And we will be short on food
Why do we have to be so selfish
We've got to change our attitude

I am facing the truth
I got to change the way I live
Can't go on this way
The price is too high to pay

After the rain I feel the sun
See how I run to my destiny

Playing With Fire

[Tolkki - Kotipelto]

Hunger grows stronger I feel it day by day
I need I desire her passion now
I see that look the shine in her eyes
Can't let her go she's so divine

You found the truth again
I showed the way
The Path of Wisdom is the only way to reality
You learned to live Your life
The hard way
Your tears put out the fire from your soul

Lost behind the lies I can hear your cries

What the hell is going on
Skijumpers making music that sells gold
There's no talent in this game
Hunting, hunting for the fame
Publicity is all you need
That’s why it feels to me like

Reign of Terror (2)

When The sun setting down
all the awnsers must found
many people can fear whit the lonely
and the campers will stay
many times they will play
on the mouth in the lost of the lonely

[bridge:]

A house made of cards and no time to run
Unfolding the path before me
Together with you and not making sense

And slid from my grasp, that moment in time
When everything stood to reason
The clarity gone, I wait for my fate

Season of change life feels so strange
Look into my eyes do you see the truth
I'm lost and alone feelings unknown
Come to me stronger than before
On winds of time my soul will fly
The angels are knocking at my door
Oh now I need to be free
From all this hatred I feel inside

No-one really knows
Where this man comes from
Or if he has a name
He moved from town to town
And forging his own way
Without shame he played his game

No allies and no friends

When I was young and life had only just begun
The days were long and bright
So warm and full of life
I never knew that one day you would fade away
Your colors fade to gray
It seems like yesterday

Still you're shining in the dark

Stars shine bright in the sky
Warning you gonna die
Freezing wind blows across the snow plains
Here all alone

Marching towards the front line
Hoping this is the last time
Fighting for what I don't know

Yesterday seems so far away
Some projection in a dream
Sweaty sheets, I am back to reality
I woke up to my own scream
All the bad things that were said
Will not leave me be
I need to get them out of my head

I'm waiting for the rain now
To settle the dusty air
Clearing up my emotions
Facing it all if I dare
I've been thinking
I've been trying
But I've always been denying
Wasted days are still inside of me

Pack on my back I wander
Over mountains across the seas
My yearning soul keeps roaming
In the endless search for peace

sky is my roof, my shelter
Stars shine and light my way
Earth is my bed, my altar

[Music by Tolkki, Words by Kotipelto]

Today is just an other day
of my life too short to live
I should have somekind of meaning
a destiny to believe in
before I go to sleep

This is my way, these are my rules
These are my rhymes, this is my song
Don't take me for some bloody fool
For I still dream, you can't hurt me, I'm strong

You can try to bring me down, to keep me down
I will rise and I'll be fighting back
There's no way you can break my will

Tears of Ice falling down my cheeks
forming a lake in it's surface
I see you face and I watch it till it's gone
There were times all I did was cry out your name
only thing I feel now is pain

Tears of Ice frozen heart icy drop fall to the ground
forming stream golden dream

I'm back in the air, but I've nowhere to go
I nervously glance at the mountains below
Two hours of sleep, seven more 'til the show
I pray to the codess of coffee to keep me alive.

The crew's getting wasted, we're back in the sky.
I join in the fray, 'coz the rules don't apply
"who cares anyway – when we're all gonna fry!-"

Concord and tears from industrial giants,
Apologies counting for nothing!
Graveyard obssessions and shallow confessions,
The game never ends in a draw.

An eternal horizon that reaches the sky
When we're standing together, we cannot ever die
And we're chasing the darkness away without cry,

The time is running
It's running so fast that you don't notice
Years are passing by
And you're growing older
What happened to all your dreams?
Did they become true at all?

We cannot undo the deeds of the years

I hear footsteps closing in
I recognize them from my early days
The times are different the image remains the same
Repeating backflashes remembering the name

Approaching visions of things
I can't recall
A familiar smile awakes the pain

Im staring out the window
wondering will I soon know
the answers to the questions within
where should I begin
Im delusioned by a clear crystal night
While trying to find some insight
the solution is close at hand yet still so far away

(Music:Tolkki/Lyrics:Tolkki)

I m entering into the woods.
I left everything behind.
I have to follow my heart.

Don t know what I m looking for.
Starlight s guiding my way

Danger zone
I look into the mirror see my face again
I hear myself preaching
You are getting bold
Growing old
Skin turns cold

You're to blame

Reckless wheel of time, we follow how it flies by
We still keep believing in wide and comforting lies.

When it's our turn, together we stay stronger
We lay still and silent and watch how hours burns
For eternity.

You carry me away, tomorrow we're unbreakable

Learning by trying it's hard to deny it
while paying for what I used to know
Dreams are deceiving untill I'm achieving
the goals I haven't set too low

Waiting for a new day
to wipe away
the Uncertainty that flows around me

Until the end of days
Until the end of days

Fear is building lies like castles out of sand
An age of ignorance that I don't understand
Just hold on
If you can bend you can't be broken
You must hold on to your life

[Japanese Bonus Track]

[Music and lyrics by Timo Tolkki]

Hiljaa, hiljaa kuulen kutsun tän
Pidän kiinni nyt mä palleistain, ne on mun ystäväin
Kuulen kutsun peniskateuden
Kun en pysty edes kusemaan katsomatta viereen

8. Venus In The Morning

[Tolkki]

It's 4 in the morning
I'm gazing the sky with
Millions of stars
A moment before the Dawn

I'm watching as the morning sun rises
before my very eyes
Revealing all this beauty
Questions fill my mind once again
clearing my thoughs have I been blind
Now I see
The hole is getting bigger in the sky
do you know the reason why nobody seems to care

Sometimes it's not that easy finding all the words
For how I feel when you are near
The more we are together makes me realize
All I ever wanted is you

What can I say?
You make all my dreams come true
And every day I want you right here by my side

It was just like yesterday,
When you chose to leave and I to stay
It was a warm and sunny day
But my heart felt as heavy as stone

Never told me where you went,
Then again I never tried to ask
Now I know in life you have one chance

Look around there's no time to waste
life goes on nothing's gonna change
Feel the winds of life blowing cold
it won't take so long you are growing old
there is no answer to be found
it is so easy to fall without a sound

Days of loving and gold

When the stars are gone forever and planets are turned into dust
It's a good escape to lie in the haze
In the past I found the answer in music and drinking and lust
Waiting for the end and counting the days

But I want to find an answer, so what if my terror dies
And I want to find an answer, I look in your eyes

I've been searching for an oasis
In the desert for so long
In my weakness trying
To pretend I'm strong

I've been holding on
To things that I have left behind
I've been scared and lonely

Throwing my dreams out of my mind
casting them into the sky
canceling tasks I've delayed for so long
now it's do or die

I can't be seen I can't be heard
but I am here and I am wondering

Silence is all I hear
Blackness fills my world
Midwinter days and lonely nights
Depression takes over
my frozen mind

Morning starts a new day
Dawning nowhere to be seen

Walking by a frozen lake
Silent snow in the air
Dreaming of the summer day
Carry me till I'm there

Winter skies, leave me alone
When I lose my way
Winter skies you call me home

Look around do you see,
so many things have changed.
And you should know by now,
I never meant to hurt you at all.
All my life I have been
an outcast but now
I've been reborn
