Here Be Dragons
04:04
|
|
||
They paint the world full of shadows
They plant the seeds of fear
And it's all you hear
They keep on telling you where to stand
Just stay close to the light
Their light
When nonconformity is crime
From the shadows we shall rise
As the dragons of their tales
They have chosen our roles to play
Look out!
Here be dragons
We are all the same
We just don't play the game your way
Look out!
Solo: Virnes
Solo: Pettersson
Solo: Koskinen
Now you see what lurks in the dark
Discovery and chance to be yourself
To find yourself
No more leaning on pre-made rules
Some tales are written by the fools
Let these words be heard
We will rise again

Stranger Skies
05:07
|
|
||
Scanning the horizon now
The unknown stretches all around
Counting back the days again
Feels like an eternity has passed
And so we travelled on and on
Out of the stranger skies
The awe and fear that binds us now
Bears no disguise
And so we travelled on and on
Out of the stranger skies
From the shadows, to the light
And into the dark again
This could be the end of us
This could be a new beginning
How much further can we go?
No way that we could know
We drift away in peace
Yet deep down we feel
There's more to this tale
Quietly we wait
Again
Stranded on the edge of the world
Beyond the point of no return
Breathing in the foreign air
Death can be the healer of our wounds
Send a message to my love
We sailed so high above
and lost our way back home
Solo: Virnes
Solo: Pettersson
Solo: Virnes / Pettersson
This could be the end of us
This could be a new beginning
How much further can we go?
No way that we could know
We drift away in peace
Yet deep down I know
There's no place like home
Anxiously I wait
Again and again

Fear of Tomorrow
03:48
|
|
||
Whispering voices infecting my mind
This grinding feeling cripples, I'm blind
You tried to tell me that everything's alright
To me it was only another lie
Last time you went to horizon
I saw the flame in your eyes
To me the words that you said felt like poison
Only thing left is bittering sorrow
and the fear of tomorrow
Day after day I must carry on
Sleepless nights from dusk till dawn
Future unknown is driving me insane
How can I handle all this pain?
Solo: Pettersson / Virnes

Imaginary Throne
03:14
|
|
||
You’re lost and ignorant
Yet you're the one guiding our way
Swallow your pride or you might choke
Wasting is the function
Toast for victory, the race has just begun
This life was a lesson, yet you never learned a thing
Last traces of sanity blown away by the wind
Succeeding was never an option for you
Sadistic joy as the confident man
stumbles down from his imaginary throne
Hopes and dreams shattered like glass
Facts and truth abandoned like trash
No blaze of glory
as you're going down
The fire in your heart
won't guide you through the dark
If you choke it with greed
your might will never be free

Innocence
04:40
|
|
||
By god, once I had the flame
When did my life turn this way?
Take me to my past again to see
The golden days of youth
Innocence and dreams of silver
Now rusted in the rain
When did I begin to see
the hatred and the misery
that drives my world into the sea
again and again
My innocence will live to die again
just to die and live again
just when I believed in me
God damn, I know things have to change
Nothing will ever stay the same
Feeling more confused as time goes by
The darkened days of now
I know I have to find the way
Back to my flame
Solo: Virnes
Solo: Virnes / Pettersson
If I take this path again
It'll take me all the way again
If I go and start again
It'll take me back again and again
Again and again
Again and again!

The Poet
04:21
|
|
||
In solitude, is he wasting his life?
A broken man, the owner of pride
So deep in the sea of dreams
The strings have been cut, and now he's out of reach
He's a failure by their rotten eyes
Master of his art follows his heart
the weeping victims of his desire
Wolf among the sheep
He's a failure by their rotten eyes
Master of his art follows his heart
the weeping victims of his desire
Outcast of the insane herd
Desperate dreamer never reaches his goal
Like the Holy Grail never to be found
These words crafted from his pain
Without the art, it's just suffering in vain
Solo: Koskinen
He's a failure by their rotten eyes
Master of his art follows his heart,
even though it's hard
The weeping victims of his desire
Outcast of the insane herd

Race for the Sun
06:03
|
|
||
No time to waste, there's a day for me to seize
I have a dream and now it's time to set it free
No locks or chains exist in my mind anymore
My will is strong and will be strong for evermore
See how I run
Once I was losing myself
Abusing myself
On this ocean of changes
We all struggle to find
something to keep our hopes alive
and reaching for the skies
On this ocean of madness
We are drifting along
To find a place to belong
and some peace of mind, I run!
Race for the sun
My sins come undone one day
And today I run
Race for the sun!
Run! Race for the sun!
And now the pain is almost gone
No longer does this shadow claim me whole
Resolute I stride upon this endless stream of light
And harbour all that was, never to be again!
My story begins
Once I was breaking myself
Degrading myself
Solo: Virnes
Solo: Pettersson
The story goes on
No more abusing myself
I've broken the spell

Brighter Tomorrow
03:32
|
|
||
These people live underground
They've never seen the sun
With time they've come to believe;
the surface ain't even real
But among the sheep is a brave young man
He has a dream and a plan
He'll pierce through the sky
a bringer of brighter tomorrow
And the light will shine
free from the chains of this darkness that follows
Quit dreaming and do your job
There's nothing up above
Said the old and the wise
But he had seen the light
And the light burns on in his heart
Craving for freedom, craving for open skies
Solo: Virnes

Bleeding Land
05:33
|
|
||
Red leaves are falling to the ground
There's no reason for us to be proud
no singing birds in the trees
No chance for us to break free
The grass was greener in the good old days
We chose wrong and life went dreadful ways
Try to hold on to your dreams of youth
Try to forget the inevitable doom
Take a look at this bleeding land
We only got this one chance
Take a look at this bleeding land
Is this what we really wanted?
Solo: Pettersson
It's time to start all over again
Put out the fires and let the nature reign
And maybe someday we'll understand
The cost of our actions lost to the sand
Solo: Pettersson

The Book of My Tales
04:42
|
|
||
I'm standing alone on the edge,
the edge of my fears and fantasies
Courage and wisdom, my strength,
unravel the fate before my eyes
Out there's a world full of tales
of darkness, of light, of sorrow and joy
and chances to take or to pass
The book of my tales is opening
But where can I find the strength to go on
if the burden is too much for me?
Evil is there, always around in the sky,
on the land and the sea
Facing the storm, I must carry on as the
past keeps fading away
A new chapter's born in the rays of the dawn,
I go!
Solo: Virnes
But howling winds call from the north,
carrying the grains of the ancient feats
I glance at the sky for a sign,
visions of heroes of days gone by
The flame of life grows within me,
feels like I'm finally free
But the pages keep turning so fast
The ink of my life slowly drips away
But where can I find the strength to go on
If the time takes the better of me?
My life will be there, always around in the sky,
on the land and the sea
Facing the storm, I must carry on as my
time keeps fading away
A new chapter's born in the rays of the dawn,
I go!
Solo: Virnes
Where can I find the strength to go on?
Time will wait for no man
My tale has just begun
But now I fear the last page
