[Instrumental]
Day possesses no law here
Where moon sheds the cold twilight
This moment is eternity
Land of beauty
Cold and cruel
Field chants echoing
Reflecting the melancholy
Trust the wind
Trust the fire
Call for the hermit
The hermit of the night
Land of raven
Land of bear
Land of eagle
And wolverine
Dismal are the mirrors of a wolf
[Instrumental]
Kautta erämaajärven
matkaa kulkuri yksinäinen
Näkee lammella joutsenparven
vapauttaan itkevän
Kaipuu menneisyyteen
kiirii ilmassa huutoina kotkien
Ikijärveltä turvatulta
käy matka vuorten taa
(Translation:)
Via a wilderness lake
Travels a lonely wanderer
In a pond he sees a flock of swans
Crying for their freedom
The longing for the past
Echoes through the air as screams of eagles
From the ever-lake so safe
The journey continues beyond the mountains
Einst hatte ich einen Traum
Und das ist er
Einst war dort ein Traum eines Kindes
In einer Nacht schlug die Uhr 12
Das Fenster war weit geöffnet
Einst war dort ein Herz eines Kindes
Das Alter in dem ich fliegen lernte
Und einen Schritt nach draußen machte
Einst kannte ich alle Geschichten
Es ist Zeit, die Zeit zurückzudrehen
Dem blassen Mondlicht zu folgen
Einst wünschte ich mir für die Nacht
Der Glaube brachte mich hierher
Es ist Zeit die Schnur durchzuschneiden und zu fliegen
Flieg zu einem Traum
Weit über das Meer
Alle Lasten sind vorüber
Öffne die Truhe noch einmal
Die dunkle Truhe der Wunder
Durch die Augen gesehen
Auf den einen mit reinem Herzen
Einst vor langer Zeit
Der eine im Großen Blauen ist was die Welt von mir gestohlen hat
Diese Nacht wird ihn zu mir zurückbringen
Symphony Of Destruction!
You take a mortal man
And put him in control
Watch him become a God
Watch peoples heads
A'roll
A'roll
A'roll
Just like Pied Piper
Led rats through the streets
We dance like marionettes
Swaying to the Symphony
Of Destruction
Acting like a robot
It's metal brain corrodes
You try to take its pulse
Before the head
Explodes
Explodes
Explodes
Just like Pied Piper
Led rats through the streets
We dance like marionettes
Swaying to the Symphony
Just like Pied Piper
Led rats through the streets
We dance like marionettes
Swaying to the Symphony
Swaying to the Symphony
Of Destruction
[Solos]
The earth starts to rumble
World powers fall
A'warring for the heavens
A peaceful man stands tall
Stands tall
Stands tall
Just like Pied Piper
Led rats through the streets
We dance like marionettes
Swaying to the Symphony
Just like Pied Piper
Led rats through the streets
We dance like marionettes
Swaying to the Symphony
Swaying to the Symphony
Of Destruction
(Perkele!)
I went into the wilderness with Uncle Walt
I discovered the wild
Learning to suck all the experience
Seeing the world through cradle's bars
The wild blessed me with an errant mind
Showing the way for the ultimate lore
I went around the world, beyond the wild
Finding my home from an ocean shore
Wayfarer, heartlander
What if I only had
One more night to live
Home is where the way is
My road goes on forever
One more voyage to go
Wayfarer, heartlander
What if I only had
One more night to live
Dead to the world
Alive for the journey
Wayfarer, heartlander
What if I only had
One more night to one more night to live
Wayfarer, heartlander
What if I only had
One more night to live
Home is where the way is
My road goes on forever
One more voyage to one more voyage one more voyage to go
(instrumental)
Slaying The Dreamer
I'm a priest for the poorest sacrifice
I'm but a raft in a sea of sorrow and greed
You bathed in my wine
Drank from my cup, mocked my rhyme
Your slit tongues licked my aching wounds
Put a stake through my heart!
And drag me into sunlight
So awake for your greed
As you're slaying the dreamer
Swansong for the Wish of Night
God it hurts, give a name to the pain
Our primrose path to hell is growing weed
Blame me, it's me
Coward, a good-for-nothing scapegoat
Dumb kid, living a dream
Romantic only on paper
Tell me why you took all that was mine!
Stay as you lay - don't lead me astray!
Wake up, mow the weed
You'd be nothing without me
Take my life if you have the heart to die
You bastards tainted my tool
Raped my words, played me a fool
Gather your precious glitter and leave me be
The Great Ones are all dead
And I'm tired, too
An angelface smiles to me
Under a headline of tragedy
That smile used to give me warmth
Farewell - no words to say
Beside the cross on your grave
And those forever burning candles
Needed elsewhere
To remind us of the shortness of our time
Tears laid for them
Tears of love, tears of fear
Bury my dreams, dig up my sorrows
Oh, Lord why
The angels fall first
Not relieved by thougts of Shangri-La
Nor enlightened by the lessons of Christ
I´ll never understand the meaning of the right
Ignorance lead me into the light
Needed elsewhere
To remind us of the shortness of our time
Tears laid for them
Tears of love, tears of fear
Bury my dreams, dig up my sorrows
Oh, Lord why
The angels fall first
Sing me a song
Of your beauty
Of your kingdom
Let the melodies of your harps
Caress those whom we still need
Yesterday we shook hands
My friend
Today a moonbeam lightens my path
A star falls down from the darkened sky
Where new worlds born and die
Kingdom Animalia watches its approaching glow
What it means is soon to be known
Beneath the lovely birch honeymakers build their nest in peace
On the savannah a lion licks a wounded gnu
To honor this moment even the heavens cease
Giant spiders learn how to swim
With whales they form a united kin
Snakes say hello to the rats on the ground
In the meadows play merrily the fox and the hound
Trilobite & Anymalocharis
The prey and the hunter
Survival of the fittest
Fall of Man
Seadrops foam all empty human skulls
Those on the shores of Atlantis
Darwin's resurrection is witnessed
By turtles he used to play with
Healed and happy She oversees
The Mother
[Long Lost Love]
Trees have dropped their leaves,
Clouds their waters
All this burden is killing me
Distance is covering your way,
Tears your memory
All this beauty is killing me
Oh, do you care,
I still feel for you
So aware,
What should be lost is there
I fear I will never find anyone
I know my greatest pain is yet to come
Will we find each other in the dark
My long lost love
[One More Night To Live]
Safely away from the world
In a dream, timeless domain
A child, dreamy eyed,
Mother's mirror, father's pride
I wish I could come back to you
Once again feel the rain
Falling inside me
Cleaning all that I've become
My home is far but the rest it lies so close
With my long lost love under the black rose
You told I had the eyes of a wolf
Search them and find the beauty of the beast
All of my songs can only be composed of the greatest of pains
Every single verse can only be born of the greatest of wishes
I wish I had one more night to live
A saint blessed me, drank me deeply
Spitting out the misery in me
Still a sinner rapes 1000 saints
Sharing the the same hell with me
Sanest choice in the insane world...
Beware the beast but beware the feast he offers
[Christabel]
Oh, sweet Christabel. Share with me your poem.
For I know now, I'm a puppet on this silent stage show.
I'm but a poet who failed his best play.
A Dead Boy, who failed to write an ending
To each of his poems.
Forever Yours
Fare thee well, little broken heart
Downcast eyes, lifetime loneliness
Whatever walks in my heart will walk alone
Constant longing for the perfect soul
Unwashed scenery forever gone
No love left in me
No eyes to see the heaven beside me
My time is yet to come
The Siren
A lady with a violin playing to
the seals
Hearken to the sound of calling
Who tied my hands to
the wheel?
The zodiac turns over me
(Come to me)
Somewhere there my fate
revealed
I hear but how will I see
I tied myself to the wheel
The winds talk to my sails,
not me
(Come to me)
Somewhere there my fate
revealed
Two For Tragedy
Sleep Eden sleep
My fallen son
Slumber in peace
Cease the pain
Life's just in vain
For us to gain
Nothing but all the same
No healing hand
For your disease
Drinking scorn like water
Cascading with my tears
Beneath the candle bed
Two saddened angels-in heaven, in death
Now let us lie
Sad we lived sad we die
Even in your pride
I never blamed you
A mother's love
Is a sacrifice
Together sleeping
Keeping it all
No sympathy
No eternity
One light for each undeserved tear
Beneath the candle bed
As the sun sets beyond the pyramids
To greet me with its rays
I place my hand on my forehead
To see your chariots' flames
Watch me kneel before you
Hear the cats meowing in the temple
They yearn the milk you cascaded
As I yearn that promised treasure
Treasure of
Tutankhamen
I am the one it is
Take me with you
through the stargate
To the valley of the kings
Sacrifice me
Tutankhamen
And let me be your queen
Take me
Tonight and always
We'll breed to fill all earth
Three milleniums it took me to guard your rest
Your slumber in mighty Phoenix's nest
But tonight the darkness in the tomb has perished
For Carter has come to free my beloved
We're walking in the air
We're floating in the moonlit sky
The people far below are sleeping as we fly
I'm holding very tight
I'm riding in the midnight blue
I'm finding I can fly so high above with you
Far across the wold
The villages go by like trees
the rivers and the hills
The forest and the streams
Children gaze open mouth
Taken by suprise
Nobody down below believes their eyes
We're surfing in the air
We're swimming in the frozen sky
We're drifting over icy
mountains floating by
Suddenly swooping low on an ocean deep
Arousing of a mighty monster from its sleep
We're walking in the air
We're floating in the midnight sky
As the sun sets beyond the pyramids
To greet me with its rays
I place my hand on my forehead
To see your chariots' flames
Watch me kneel before you
Hear the cats meowing in the temple
They yearn the milk you cascaded
As I yearn that promised treasure
Treasure of
Tutankhamen
I am the one it is
Take me with you
through the stargate
To the valley of the kings
Sacrifice me
Tutankhamen
And let me be your queen
Take me
Tonight and always
We´ll breed to fill all earth
Three milleniums it took me to guard your rest
Your slumber in mighty Phoenix´s nest
But tonight the darkness in the tomb has perished
For Carter has come to free my beloved
"Get away from me!
Take heed to thyself and see my face no more!
for in the day Thou see my face
Thou shalt die!"
- Exodus 10:28
A constellation of divine architecture built on Earth
A holy harbour - Orion
Nautical ascension to the firmament
Ship-shaped barrows open my heart to the wisdom of this land
Sailing with the Serpent Chimera of a fiendish sandman
The Unicorn arrives with the westwind to dream His funeral
"Thou art born for Horus dwells in Thee"
Slumbering with the ebb and the flow of this foaming tomb
"Thou art born for Seteh dwells in Thee"
Reveal your face to me and guide me through the Stygian fields
Enthral my soul to Sepedet's beams to serve Your will
Sailing on the distant seas from darkness to deliverance
Tales like the ocean written to the Draco's glance
Ruling with the scythe of death you tear our philosophies apart
An ancient starwalk to merge into the stars
"Open thy veins for my venom
Kiss the cobras with thy twisted tongue
So shalt thou join the empyrean circus
Where beggars mourn and seraphs dance
In this twilight cathedral
Shall I wed thee,
O Bride of the Netherworld"
Sailing on the distant seas from darkness to deliverance
Tales like the ocean written to the Draco's glance
Join my soul the Hunter in the sky
For whom the gun tolls
For whom the prey weeps
Bow before a war
Call it religion
Some wounds never heal
Some tears never will
Dry for the unkind
Cry for mankind
Even the dead cry
- Their only comfort
Kill your friend, I don`t care
Orchid kids, blinded stare
Need to understand
No need to forgive
No truth no sense left to be followed
"Facing this unbearable fear like meeting an old friend"
"Time to die, poor mates, You made me what I am!"
"In this world of a million religions everyone prays the same way"
"Your praying is in vain It`ll all be over soon"
"Father help me, save me a place by your side!"
"There is no god Our creed is but for ourselves"
"Not a hero unless you die Our species eat the wounded ones"
"Drunk with the blood of your victims
I do feel your pity-wanting pain,
Lust for fame, a deadly game"
"Run away with your impeccable kin!"
"- Good wombs hath borne bad sons..."
Cursing, God, why?
Falling for every lie
Survivors` guilt
In us forevermore
15 candles
Redeemers of this world
Dwell in hypocrisy:
"How were we supposed to know?"
4 pink ones
9 blue ones

The Poet And The Pendulum
I. “WHITE LANDS OF EMPATHICA”
The end
The songwriter's dead
The blade fell upon him
Taking him to the white lands
of Empathica,
of Innocence
Empathica
Innocence
II. “HOME”
The dreamer and the wine
Poet without a rhyme
A widow writer, torn apart by chains of Hell
One last perfect verse
Is still the same old song
Oh Christ, how I hate what I have become
Take me home
Get away, run away, fly away
Lead me astray, to dreamer's hideaway
I cannot cry 'cause the shoulder cries more
I cannot die, I, the whore for the cold world
Forgive me
I have but two faces
One for the world,
One for God
save me
I cannot cry 'cause the shoulder cries more
I cannot die, I, the whore for the cold world
My home was there n' then
Those meadows of heaven
Adventure filled days
One with every smiling face
Please, no more words
Thoughts from a severed head
No more praise
Tell me once my heart goes right
Take me home
Get away, run away, fly away
Lead me astray, to dreamer's hideaway
I cannot cry 'cause the shoulder cries more
I cannot die, I, a whore for this cold world
Forgive me
I have but two faces
One for the world
One for God
save me
I cannot cry 'cause the shoulder cries more
I cannot die, I, a whore for this cold world
Whore for this cold world
Whore for this cold world
III. “THE PACIFIC”
Sparkle, my scenery
With Turquoise waterfall
With beauty underneath
The Ever-Free
Tuck me in beneath the blue
Beneath the pain, beneath the rain
Goodnight kiss for a child in time
Swaying blades my lullaby
On the shore we sat and hoped
Under the same pale moon
Whose guiding light chose you
Chose you all
I'm afraid, I’m so afraid,
being raped again, and again and again
I know I will die alone,
But loved
You live long enough to hear the sounds of guns
Long enough to find yourself screaming every night
And if you want
Long enough to see your friends betray you
For years have I been strapped unto this altar
Now I only have three minutes and counting
I just wish the tide would catch me first and give
me a death I always longed for
IV.” DARK PASSION PLAY”
Second robber to the right of Christ
Cut in half- infanticide
The world will rejoice today
As the crows feast on the rotting Poet
Everyone must bury their own
No pack to bury the heart of stone
Now he is home in Hell-serves him well
Slain by the bell, tolling for His farewell
The morning dawn upon his altar
Remains of the dark passion play
Performed by his friends without shame
Spitting on his grave as they came
Get away, run away, fly away
Lead me astray, to dreamer's hideaway
I cannot cry 'cause the shoulder cries more
I cannot die, I, a whore for this cold world
Forgive me
I have but two faces
One for the world
One for God
Save me
I cannot cry 'cause the shoulder cries more
I cannot die, I, a whore for this cold world
Today, in the year of our Lord, 2005
Tuomas was called from the cares of the world
He stopped crying at the end of each beautiful day
The music he wrote had too long been
without silence
He was found naked and dead
with a smile in his face, a pen and
1000 pages of erased text
Save me
V. “Mother and Father”
Be still my Son
You’re home
Oh, when did you become so cold?
The blade will keep on descending
All you need is to feel my love
Search for beauty, find your shore
Try to save them all, bleed no more
You have such oceans within
In the end
I will always love you
All those beautiful people
I want to have them all
All those porcelain models
If only I could make them fall
Be my heart a well of love
Flowing free so far above
A wintry eve
Once upon a tale
An Ugly Duckling
Lost in a verse
Of a sparrow's carol
Dreaming the stars
Be my heart a well of love
Flowing free so far above
In my world
Love is for poets
Never the famous balcony scene
Just a dying faith
On a heaven's gate
Crystal pond awaits the lorn
[Christine (Tarja):]
In sleep he sang to me, in dreams he came,
that voice which calls to me,
and speaks my name.
And do I dream again? For now I find
the phantom of the opera is there
inside my mind.
[Phantom (Marco):]
Sing once again with me our strange duet;
my power over you grows stronger yet.
And though you turn from me to glance behind,
the phantom of the opera is there
inside your mind.
[Christine (Tarja):]
Those who have seen your face
draw back in fear.
I am the mask you wear,
[Phantom (Marco):]
it's me they hear.
[Christine (Tarja) & Phantom (Marco):]
Your spirit and my voice in one combined;
the phantom of the opera is there
inside my/your mind.
[Voices:]
He's there the phantom of the opera.
Beware the phantom of the opera.
[Phantom (Marco):]
In all your fantasies, you always knew
that man and mystery
[Christine (Tarja):]
were both in you.
[Christine (Tarja) & Phantom (Marco):]
And in this labyrinth where night is blind,
the Phantom of the opera is here
inside my/your mind.
[Phantom (Marco):]
Sing, my angel of music!
[Christine (Tarja):]
He's there the Phantom of the opera!
Princess of lust
Dignity put to dust
A virginal sight
Their apple to bite
Drink from my thighs
The rain of lies
A sight so cursed:
Breasts which never nursed
An Aphrodite for mortal souls
Playing hide and seek in lecherous roles
Their erotic hour, my tearless weep
Their saticfaction, my infinite sleep
Naked limbs reflecting fron the moon
I'll be there for you soon
First wish for this night:
Let me be your delight
Body of a virgin
Soul to the Devil's kin
Your God is me
In all that you see
An Aphrodite for mortal souls
Playing hide and seek in lecherous roles
Their erotic hour, my tearless weep
Their saticfaction, my infinite sleep
[bonus track]
A lonely bard wandering across the lands am I
Singing dancing finding answers to every why
The taverns are full and one crosses my path, too
I just might reward myself with a beer or two
This inn the place of many romantic tales
On the loft women offer their sales
But my eyes they catch a girl beat by everyone
A slave she is but for me a rose undone
Hear me sing
Watch me dance
Play that lute of thine
And share with me this dance
As she danced my eyes began to shine
There she was the maiden so divine
How could I approach her with my outlook so poor
Her beauty being much more than I could endure
So I asked if I could sing a chanson
With a language of ancient and of lore
Gathered the men around us me and the girl in rags
Soon were the melodies heard by everyone
Hear us sing
Watch us dance
Sing with us this tale
With a clap of hands
The stories long-forgotten we still know
Performing our skills wherever we go
I end my story as I receive a kiss
From my girl the dearest Beatrice
Hear us sing
Watch us dance
Sing with us the tales
Which the music will keep alive
Nemo
This is me for forever
One of the lost ones
The one without a name
Without an honest heart as compass
This is me for forever
One without a name
These lines the last endeavor
To find the missing lifeline
Oh how I wish
For soothing rain
All I wish is to dream again
My loving heart
Lost in the dark
For hope I`d give my everything
Oh how I wish
For soothing rain
Oh how I wish to dream again
Once and for all
And all for once
Nemo my name forevermore
My flower, withered between
The pages 2 and 3
The once and forever bloom gone with my sins
Walk the dark path
Sleep with angels
Call the past for help
Touch me with your love
And reveal to me my true name
Oh, how I wish...
Nemo sailing home
Nemo letting go
Oh, how i wish...
The scent of a woman was not mine...
Welcome home, darling
Did you miss me?
Wish to dwell in dear love?
Touch my milklike skin
Feel the ocean
Lick my deepest
Hear the starry choir
Rip off this lace
that keeps me imprisoned
But beware the enchantment
for my eroticism is your oblivion
Old love lies deep, you said
Instrumental
Imagine a perfect beach
Without a mermaid
Imagine a perfect hideaway
Without a time
Ocean soul
Imagine a perfect Eden
Without a friend, without a serpent
Ocean soul, lonely soul
Feeling lonely and content at the same time
I believe, is a rare kind of happiness
Toll no bell for me, Father
But let this cup of suffering pass from me
Send me no shepherd to heal my world
But the Angel - the dream foretold
Prayed more than thrice for You to see
The wolf of loneliness in me
...not my own will but Yours be done...
You wake up, where's the tomb?
Will Easter come, enter my room?
The lord weeps with me
But my tears fall for you
Another beauty
Loved by a Beast
Another tale of infinitely dreams
Your eyes they were my paradise
Your smile made my sun rise
Forgive me, for I don't know what I gain
Alone in this garden of pain
Enchantment has but one truth:
I weep to have what I fear to lose
(Repeat chorus)
"Iknew you never before
I see you never more
But the love, the pain, the hope, O beautifull one
Have made you mine, 'till all my years are done"
Without you
The poetry within me is dead
"You tell me, my love; It's not love if it's not forever. But let me
tell you; A Scene could brmuch more to remember than the play itself."
Running for her life
The dark rain from her eyes still falls
Breathtaking butterfly
Chose a dark day to live
Save one breath for me
A loner longing for
The cadence of her last breath
Why do I miss someone I never met, with bated breath I lay?
Sea winds brought her to me
A butterfly, mere one day miracle of life
And all the poetry in the world finally makes sense to me
Save one death for me
A loner longing for
(Run away, run away, run away, run away)
The cadence of her last breath
(Run away, run away, run away, run away)
Put to rest all that's not life
Drink for beauty and fill my blank page
Sometimes a dream turns into a dream
A loner longing for
(Run away, run away, run away, run away)
The cadence of her last breath
A loner longing for
(Run away, run away, run away, run away)
The cadence of her last breath
A nocturnal concerto
candlelight whispers me where to go
Hymn of gathering stars as my guide
whilst I wander on this path of the night
Embroidery of the stars
undress my feelings for this earth
Send me your salva to heal my scars
and let this nakedness be my birth
Macrocosm poured its powers on me
And the hopes of this world I now must leave
The nightwish I sent you centuries ago
has been heard by those
who dwelled in a woe
The distance of our bridal bed
Await for me to be dead
Dust of the galaxies take my hand
Lead me to my beloved´s land
Departed by the guillotine of death
I received a letter from the depth
The dream of my lover it carried inside
Caressed by the sharpest knife
I asked you to be my wife
Rays of the setting sun
were my tears wept upon promises undone
Come to me
Make me believe
to you and your love again
Above the universe
Beneath the Great Eye
in your creation heaven did decree
that in your armssweet death should dwell.
deep silent complete
black velvet sea
the sirens are calling for me
saved my soul thinking "this song is a lie"
sand on the shore is so dry
deep silent complete
black velvet sea
brave day sinking in endless night
the age will say "this poet lies"
heaven never touched earthly face
the age will say "this night was ours"
blessed with the deep
(I live no more to shame...
nor me nor you...
I`m sorry)
Born from silence, silence full of it
A perfect concert my best friend
So much to live for, so much to die for
If only my heart had a home
Sing what you can`t say
Forget what you can`t play
Hasten to drown into beautiful eyes
Walk within my poetry, this dying music
- My loveletter to nobody
Never sigh for better world
It`s already composed, played and told
Every thought the music I write
Everything a wish for the night
Wrote for the eclipse, wrote for the virgin
Died for the beauty the one in the garden
Created a kingdom, reached for the wisdom
Failed in becoming a god
Never sigh for better world
It`s already composed, played and told
Every thought the music I write
Everything a wish for the night
"If you read this line, remember not the hand that wrote it
Remember only the verse, songmaker`s cry, the one without tears
For I`ve given this its strength and it has become my only strength.
Comforting home, mother`s lap, chance for immortality
Where being wanted became a thrill I never knew
The sweet piano writing down my life"
"Teach me passion for I fear it`s gone
Show me love, hold the lorn
So much more I wanted to give to the ones who love me
I`m sorry
Time will tell (this bitter farewell)
I live no more to shame nor me nor you
And you... I wish I didn`t feel for you anymore..."
A lonely soul... An ocean soul...
A lonely soul... An ocean soul...
(So much more I wanted to give to the ones who love me
Time will tell...)
A lonely soul... An ocean soul...
A lonely soul... An ocean soul...
Born from silence, silence full of it
A perfect concert my best friend
So much to live for, so much to die for
If only my heart had a home
Sing what you can`t say
Forget what you can`t play
Hasten to drown into beautiful eyes
Walk within my poetry, this dying music
- My loveletter to nobody
Never sigh for better world
It`s already composed, played and told
Every thought the music I write
Everything a wish for the night
Wrote for the eclipse, wrote for the virgin

Created a kingdom, reached for the wisdom
Failed in becoming a god
Never sigh...

A lonely soul... An ocean soul...
The days were brighter
Gardens more blooming
The nights had more hope
In their silence The wild was calling
Wishes were whispering
The time was there
But without a meaning
Away, away in time
Every dream's a journey away
Away to a home away from care
Everywhere's just a journey away
The days departed
Gardens deserted
This frail world
My only rest ?
The wild calls no more
Wishes so hollow
The Barefoot Boy
weeping in an empty night
Away...
Cherish the moment
Tower the skies
Don't let the dreamer
fade to grey like grass
No falling for life
A gain for every loss
Time gathered me
But kept me flying
"For this gift of dream I must pay the price
Remember the first dance we shared?
Recall the night you melted my uglyness away?
The night you left with a kiss so kind
Only a scent of beauty left behind
Ah, dear friend I remember the night
The moon and the dreams we shared
Your trembling paw in my hand
Dreaming of that northern land
Touching me with a kiss of a beast
I know my dreams are made of you
Of you and only for you
Your ocean pulls me under
Your voice tears me asunder
Love me before the last petal falls
As a world without a glance
Of the ocean´s fair expanse
Such the world would be
If no love did flow in thee
But as my heart is occupied
Your love to me now has to die
Forgive me, I need more than you can offer me
Didn´t you read the tale
Where happily ever after was to kiss a frog?
Don´t you know this tale
In which all I ever wanted
I´ll never have
For who could ever learn to love a beast?
However cold the wind and rain
I´ll be there to ease up your pain
However cruel the mirrors of sin
Remember, beauty is found within
Running for her life
The dark rain from her eyes still falls
Breathtaking butterfly
Chose a dark day to live
Save one breath for me
A Loner longing for
The cadence of her last breath
Why do I miss someone
I never met, with bated breath I lay
Seawinds brought her to me
A butterfly, mere one-day miracle of life
And all the poetry in the world
Finally makes sense to me
Save one death for me
A Loner longing for
The cadence of her last breath
Put to rest all that`s not life
Drink for beauty and fill my blank page
Sometimes a dream turns into a dream
A Loner longing for
The cadence of her last breath
Baptized with a perfect name
The doubting one by heart
Alone without himself
War between him and the day
Need someone to blame
In the end, little he can do alone
You believe but what you see
You receive but what you give
Caress the one, the Never Fading
Rain in your heart, the tears of snow white sorrow
Caress the one, the hiding amaranth
In a land of the daybreak
Apart from the wandering pack
In this brief flight of time we reach
For the ones, whoever dare
You believe but what you see
You receive but what you give
Caress the one, the Never Fading
Rain in your heart, the tears of snow white sorrow
Caress the one, the hiding amaranth
In a land of the daybreak
Caress the one, the Never Fading
Rain in your heart, the tears of snow white sorrow
Caress the one, the hiding amaranth
In a land of the daybreak
Reaching, searching for something untouched
Hearing voices of the Never Fading calling
Caress the one, the Never Fading
Rain in your heart, the tears of snow white sorrow
Caress the one, the hiding amaranth
In a land of the daybreak
Caress the one, the Never Fading
Rain in your heart, the tears of snow white sorrow
Caress the one, the hiding amaranth
In a land of the daybreak
Somebody's running after you
There are times I do the same
But I cannot stand the way you live
I cannot simply follow sweet
My mind is drowned in a sea of thoughts, my heart is bleeding
My mind is black I need no more, oh sister release me
And I always love what others hate - but I never give up faith
Out in their world I feel insane - at her eyes I'm dying to stare
And I always love what others hate - but I never give up faith
Give me a hug please do it now, sister never, never, never, never let me down
How much I adored your inviting eyes
How much I hated to see you cry
Your love I wanted once not now
Feeling strange enough you cannot understand
An old man by a seashore
At the end of day
Gazes the horizon
With seawinds in his face
Tempest-tossed island
Seasons all the same
Anchorage unpainted
And a ship without a name
Sea without a shore for the banished one unheard
He lightens the beacon, light at the end of world
Showing the way lighting hope in their hearts
The ones on their travels homeward from afar
This is for long-forgotten
Light at the end of the world
Horizon crying
The tears he left behind long ago
The albatross is flying
Making him daydream
The time before he became
One of the world's unseen
Princess in the tower
Children in the fields
Life gave him it all:
An island of the universe
Now his love's a memory
A ghost in the fog
He sets the sails one last time
Saying farewell to the world
Anchor to the water
Seabed far below
Grass still in his feet
And a smile beneath his brow
This is for long-forgotten
Light at the end of the world
Horizon crying
The tears he left behind long ago
So long ago...
so long ago...
This is for long-forgotten
Light at the end of the world
Horizon crying
A ballad of dark queen echoes through night
As he flees the curse of gods, the pharaoh's wrath
1001 nights unseen
The philosopher and the queen
Ancient mariner in a sea of sand
The burning beauty his tomb to die for
1001 nights unseen
The philosopher and the queen
Horizon's swarming with death
Run!
Heaven has a darkened face
Dunes are soaring, as on a chase
Caravan of the cursed
Chasing him across the waves
May he now rest under ages of mirage
As the sands slowly turns to Elysian Fields
1001 nights unseen
Finally the hills are without eyes
They are tired of painting a dead man's face red
With their own blood
They used to love having so much to lose
Blink your eyes just once and see everything in ruins
Did you ever hear what I told you
Did you ever read what I wrote you
Did you ever listen to what we played
Did you ever let in what the world said
Did we get this far just to feel your hate
Did we play to become only pawns in the game
How blind can you be, don't you see
You chose the long road but we'll be waiting
Bye bye beautiful
Jacob's ghost for the girl in white
Blindfold for the blind
Dead siblings walking the dying earth
Noose around a choking heart
Eternity torn apart
Slow toll now the funeral bells
"I need to die to feel alive"
Did you ever hear what I told you
Did you ever read what I wrote you
Did you ever listen to what we played
Did you ever let in what the world said
Did we get this far just to feel your hate
Did we play to become only pawns in the game
How blind can you be, don't you see
You chose the long road but we'll be waiting
Bye bye beautiful
It's not the tree that forsakes the flower
But the flower that forsakes the tree
Someday I'll learn to love these scars
Still fresh from the red-hot blade of your words
...How blind can you be, don't you see...
...that the gambler lost all he does not have...
Did you ever hear what I told you
Did you ever read what I wrote you
Did you ever listen to what we played
Did you ever let in what the world said
Did we get this far just to feel your hate
Did we play to become only pawns in the game
How blind can you be, don't you see
You chose the long road but we'll be waiting
Bye bye beautiful
Beyond the horizon of the place we lived when we were young
In a world of magnets and miracles
Our thoughts strayed constantly and without boundary
The ringing of the division bell had begun
Along the long road and on down the causeway
Do they still meet there by the cut
There was a ragged band that followed in our footsteps
Running before time took our dreams away
Leaving the myriad small creatures trying to tie us to the ground
To a life consumed by slow decay
The grass was greener
The light was brighter
With friends surrounded
The nights of wonder
Looking beyond the embers of bridges glowing behind us
To a glimpse of how green it was on the other side
Steps taken forwards but sleepwalking back again
Dragged by the force of some inner tide
At a higher altitude with flag unfurled
We reached the dizzy heights of that dreamed of world
Encumbered forever by desire and ambition
There's a hunger still unsatisfied
Our weary eyes still stray to the horizon
though down this road we've been so many times
The grass was greener
The light was brighter
The taste was sweeter
The nights of wonder
With friends surrounded
The dawn mist glowing
The water flowing
The endless river
Forever and ever
Take heed. dear heart
Once apart. she can touch nor me nor you
Dressed as one
A wolf will betray a lamb
Lead astray the gazers
The razors on your seducing skin
In the meadow of sinful thoughts
Every flower´s a perfect one
To paradise with pleasure haunted by fear
A sin for him
Desire within
A burning veil
For the bride too dear for him
A sin for him
Desire within
Fall in love with your deep dark sin
I am the Fallen
You are what my sins enclose
Lust is not as creative
As its discovery
To paradise with pleasure haunted by fear
A sin for him...
Bless me, undress me
Pick your prey in a wicked way
[Part 1]
Wish upon a star
Take a step enter the land
Walk through the air
Take my hand
Wishmaster's will -
Join him the quest for dream
A make-believe
Is all we ever need
Wish upon a star
No matter who you are
The second star to the right
Harbinger's gate
Beyond the boundaries
Blossom ballet
In the great wide somewhere
Wish upon a star
Believe in will
The realm of the king of fantasy
The master of the tale-like lore
The way to kingdom I adore
Where the warrior's heart is pure
Where the stories will come true
[Part 2]
A cub of the king betrayed by usurper
A girl in the rain swearing to her father's name
Belle the last sight for the dying gruesome
The beauties sleeping awaiting
Deep in a dream
For true love's first kiss
[Part 3]
Bald Mountain Night
Devilheart endures but light
A mad aerial dance
Chernabog's succubi
Black Cauldron born
Gurgi's heart forlorn
Pig-keeper or hero
On a quest of augury
Maleficent's fury
The spindle so luring
Dragon fight, dying night
Dooming might
Apprentice of Yen Sid
Conducting the galaxy
Dreamer on mountaintop
Spellbound masquerade
The Sailor an idol for the six-year-old in me
The Phoenix of White Agony Creek
Enchantress, A mermaid in a tale as old as time
A Dragonslayer, The Awakener
Wish upon a star...
Sweet boy, come in
I am the dark side of you
Die for my sins
Like the One once did
Cinnamon bed
For your unashamed appetite
A figurante
This dance will hurt like hell
Oh, bare grace misery
Just a child without a fairytale am I
Dark but so lovely
A Little Match Girl freezing in the snow
Love lying, enticing
(Bare grace misery)
Crowning the moment
(Bare grace misery)
This is what I am
Bare grace for the end of days
Romantic scent
Spoiled Lucrece lies warm for you
There`s no such priest
That can pray me to heaven
When done with me
Forget if you think I feel ashamed
A wild thing
Never felt sorry for anything
Naked in midwinter magic
Lies an angel in the snow
-The frozen ficure crossed by tracks of wolves
An encounter, symbolic, yet truthfull
With a hungry choir of woods
An agreement immemorial to be born
Dulcet elvenharps from a dryad forest
Accompany all charming tunes
of a sacrament by a campfire
A promise between the tameless
and the one with a tool
Tonight the journey from cave begins
I want to hunt with the tameless
I want to learn the wisdom of mountains afar
we will honor the angel in the snow
We will make the streams for our children flow
Wrapped in furs beneath the nothern lights
From my cave I watch the land untamed
And wonder is some becoming season
will make the angel melt in shame
Wish you were here
Me oh my country man
wish you were here
I wish you were here
Don't you know the snow is getting colder?
And I miss you like hell
And I'm feeling blue
wish you were here
Me oh my country man
wish you were here
(wish you were here)
wish you were here
Don't you know the snow is getting colder?
And I miss you like hell
And I'm feeling blue
I've got feelings for you
Do you still feel the same?
From the first time I laid my eyes on you
Felt the joy of living
I saw heaven in your eyes
In your eyes
wish you were here
Me oh my country man
wish you were here
(wish you here)
I wish you were here
Don't you know the snow is getting colder?
And I miss you like hell
And I'm feeling blue
I miss your laugh
I miss your smile
I miss everything about you
Every second is like a minute
Every minute's like a day
When you're far away
(the snow is getting colder and i wish you were here
(a battlefield of love and fear, and i wish you were here)
I've got feelings for you
From the first time I laid my eyes on you
wish you were here
me oh my country man
wish you were here
(wish you were here)
I wish you were here
Don't you know the snow is getting colder?
And I miss you like hell
And I'm feeling blue
(wish you were here)
(I wish you were here)
I wish I had an angel
For one moment of love
I wish I had your angel tonight
Deep into a dying day
I took a step outside an innocent heart
Prepare to hate me fall when I may
This night will hurt you like never before
Old loves they die hard
Old lies they die harder
I wish I had an angel
For one moment of love
I wish I had an angel
Your Virgin Mary undone
I'm in love with my lust
Burning angelwings to dust
I wish I had your angel tonight
I'm going down so frail 'n cruel
Drunken disguise changes all the rules
Old loves...
I Wish...
Greatest thrill
Not to kill
But to have the prize of the night
Hypocrite
Wannabe friend
13th disciple who betrayed me for nothing!
Last dance, first kiss
Your touch my bliss
Beauty always comes with dark thoughts
I wish...
A kite above a graveyeard grey
At the end of the line far far away
A child holding on to the magic of birth and awe
Oh, how beautiful it used to be
Just you and me far beyond the sea
The waters, scarce in motion
Quivering still
At the end of the river the sundown beams
All the relics of a life long lived
Here, weary traveller, rest your wand
Sleep the journey from your eyes
Good journey, love, time to go
I checked your teeth and warmed your toes
In the horizon I see them coming for you
The mermaid's grace, the forever call
Beauty in spyglass on an old man's porch
The mermaids you turned loose brought back your tears
At the end of the river the sundown beams
All the relics of a life long lived
Here, weary traveller, rest your wand
Sleep the journey from your eyes
At the end of the river the sundown beams
All the relics of a life long lived
Here, weary traveller, rest your wand
Sleep the journey from your eyes
At the end of the river the sundown beams
All the relics of a life long lived
Here, weary traveller, rest your wand
The Kinslayer
For whom the gun tolls
For whom the prey weeps
Bow before a war
Call it religion
Some wounds never heal
Some tears never will
Dry for the unkind
Cry for mankind
Even the dead cry
- Their only comfort
Kill your friend, I don't care
Orchid kids, blinded stare
Need to understand
No need to forgive
No truth no sense left to be followed
"Facing this unbearable fear like meeting an old friend"
"Time to die, poor mates, You made me what I am!"
"In this world of a million religions everyone prays the same way"
"Your praying is in vain It'll all be over soon"
"Father help me, save me a place by your side!"
"There is no god Our creed is but for ourselves"
"Not a hero unless you die Our species eat the wounded ones"
"Drunk with the blood of your victims
I do feel your pity-wanting pain,
Lust for fame, a deadly game"
"Run away with your impeccable kin!"
"- Good wombs hath borne bad sons..."
- Cursing, God, why?
Falling for every lie
Survivors' guilt
In us forevermore
15 candles
Redeemers of this world
Dwell in hypocrisy:
"How were we supposed to know"
4 pink ones
9 blue ones
2 black ones
Who are you?
Man condemned to shine a salvation
throughout the centuries
Why ?
Was the wine of the grail
too sour for man to drink
The carpenter
carved his anchor
on the dying souls of mankind
On the tomb of this unknown soldier
lay the tools of the one
who for us had died
Tools of the carpenter
The one they lick
The same old sick
dream of their precious saviour
Kiss them deep and
make them weep
over promises of eternal peace
The carpenter
carved his anchor
on the dying souls of mankind
On the tomb of this unknown soldier
lay the tools of the one
who for us has died
Tools of the carpenter
I hear you
through the symphonic voices of nature
-the purity I could never doubt
They tell me to lie on the grass
and observe my saviour
The one crucified to the chirping of birds
The carpenter
carved his anchor
on the dying souls of mankind
On the tomb of this unknown soldier
lay the tools of the one
who for us has died
Taikatalvi
Lapsistain rakkain tää näyttämö on
Mis kuutamo kujillaan kulkee
Taipunut havu, kesä hoivassa sen
Valkomeren niin aavan
Joka aavekuun siivin
Saapuu mut kotiin noutamaan
Päällä talvisen maan hetki kuinikuisuus
Mi pienen kissan jakoin luokseni hiipii
Tääl tarinain lähteellä asua saan mis
Viulu valtavan kaihon
Ikisäveltään maalaa
I went to die in a seaside hotel
Lanes of memory paved by sweet frozen moments
Deathbed memories of home
Never let me go
Every little memory resting calm in me
Resting in a dream
Smiling back at me
The faces of the past keep calling me to come back home
To caress the river with awe
Within there's every little memory resting calm with me
Resting in a dream
Smiling back at me
The faces of the past keep calling me to come back home
Rest calm and remember me
You are the moon pulling my black waters
You are the land in my dark closet
Stay by my side until it goes dark forever
'Get away from me!
Take heed to thyself and see my face no more!
for in the day Thou see my face
Thou shalt die!'
Exodus 10:28
A constellation of divine architecture built on Earth
A holy harbour - Orion
Nautical ascension to the firmament
Ship-shaped barrows open my heart to the wisdom of this land
Sailing with the Serpent Chimera of a fiendish sandman
The Unicorn arrives with the westwind to dream His funeral
'Thou art born for Horus dwells in Thee'
Slumbering with the ebb and the flow of this foaming tomb
'Thou art born for Seteh dwells in Thee'
Reveal your face to me and guide me though the Stygian fields
Enthral my soul to Sepedet's beams to serve Your will
Sailing on the distant seas from darkness to deliverance
Tales like the ocean written to the Draco's glance
Ruling with the scythe of death you tear out philosophies apart
An ancient starwalk to merge into the stars
'Open thy veins for my venom
Kiss the cobras with thy twisted tongue
So shalt thou join the emryrean circus
Where beggars mourn and seraphs dance
In this twilight cathedral
Shall I wed thee,
O Bride of the Netherwolrd'
[Repeat chorus]
Join my soul the Hunter in the sky
[bonus track]
A lonely bard wandering across the lands am I
Singing dancing finding answers to every why
The taverns are full and one crosses my path, too
I just might reward myself with a beer or two
This inn the place of many romantic tales
On the loft women offer their sales
But my eyes they catch a girl beat by everyone
A slave she is but for me a rose undone
Hear me sing
Watch me dance
Play that lute of thine
And share with me this dance
As she danced my eyes began to shine
There she was the maiden so divine
How could I approach her with my outlook so poor
Her beauty being much more than I could endure
So I asked if I could sing a chanson
With a language of ancient and of lore
Gathered the men around us me and the girl in rags
Soon were the melodies heard by everyone
Hear us sing
Watch us dance
Sing with us this tale
With a clap of hands
The stories long-forgotten we still know
Performing our skills wherever we go
I end my story as I receive a kiss
From my girl the dearest Beatrice
Hear us sing
Watch us dance
Sing with us the tales
Which the music will keep alive
One more night
To bear this nightmare
What more do I have to say
Crying for me was never worth a tear
My lonely soul is only filled with fear
Long hours of loneliness
Between me and the sea
Losing emotion
Finding devotion
Should I dress in white and search the sea
As I always wished to be - one with the waves
Ocean Soul
Walking the tideline
I hear your name
Is angels wispering
Something so beautiful it hurts
I only wished to become something beautiful
Through my music, through my silent devotion
There are signs on the ring
Which make me feel so down
There's one to enslave all rings
To find them all in time
And drive them into darkness
Forever they'll be bound
Three for the kings
Of the elves high in light
Nine to the mortals
Which cry
Chorus:
Slow down and I sail on the river
Slow down and I walk to the hill (2x)
And there's no way out now
Mordor Mordor Mordor
Dark land under Sauron's spell
Threatened a long time
Threatened a long time
Seven rings to the dwarves
In their halls made of stone
Into the valley
I feel down
One ring to the dark lord's hand
Sitting on his throne
In a land so dark
Where I have to go
Chorus (2x)
Chorus (2x)
Live To Tell The Tale
[Bonus track]
A single grain can tip the scale
Amidst the burden the scale will prevail
Showing what's worth being here
Storyteller by a hearth of stone
A white little creature purring me
My childhood kingdom gone in time
The islands filling my mind with blue
The one in speacial, heaven's court
All the joy unforgiven by this task
An errant soul, homeless and foul
All gone but the will to
Live to tell the tale
The days are filled with anxiety
Frustration, one right note a day
Where to find a perfect tune
Just do the work and take a step back
All the joy...
An errant soul...
Dark chambers of my mind
Locked around the neck of my love
None of you understand
And it doesn't matter
To a broken marionette like me
An errant soul...
Oh how I hate my kind
Have it all
Yet wish to die
Not mykind but the kind as you are
Saints in Cain's mask
I love you
(Instrumental)
Day possesses no law here
Where moon sheds the cold twilight
This moment is eternity
Land of beauty
Cold and cruel
Field chants echoing
Reflecting the melancholy
Trust the wind
Trust the fire
Call for the hermit
The hermit of the night
Land of raven
Land of bear
Land of eagle
And wolverine
Dismal are the mirrors of a wolf
(Instrumental)
Kautta erämaajärven
matkaa kulkuri yksinäinen
Näkee lammella joutsenparven
vapauttaan itkevän
Kaipuu menneisyyteen
kiirii ilmassa huutoina kotkien
Ikijärveltä turvatulta
käy matka vuorten taa
(Translation:)
Via a wilderness lake
Travels a lonely wanderer
In a pond he sees a flock of swans
Crying for their freedom
The longing for the past
Echoes through the air as screams of eagles
From the ever-lake so safe
The journey continues beyond the mountains
[Instrumental]
....
Toll no bell for me father
But let this suffering pass from me
Send me no shepherd to heal my world
But the Angel - the dream foretold
Prayed more than thrice for you to see
The wolf of loneliness in me
...not my own will but yours be done...
You wake up where's the tomb
Will Easter come, enter my room
The Lord weeps for me
But my tears fall for you
Another Beauty
Loved by a Beast
Another tale of infinite dreams
Your eyes they were my paradise
Your smile made my sun rise
Forgive me for I don't know what I gain
Alone in this garden of pain
Enchantment has but one truth:
I weep to have what I fear to lose
You wake up where's the tomb...
I knew you never before
I see you never more
But the love the pain the hope O beautiful one
Have made you mine 'till all my years are done
Without you
The poetry within me is dead
(Theme from 'The Snowman')
We're walking in the air
We're floating in the moonlit sky
The people far below are sleeping as we fly
I'm holding very tight
I'm riding in the midnight blue
I'm finding I can fly so high above with you
Far across the wold
The villages go by like trees
the rivers and the hills
The forest and the streams
Children gaze open mouth
Taken by suprise
Nobody down below believes their eyes
We're surfing in the air
We're swimming in the frozen sky
We're drifting over icy
mountains floating by
Suddenly swooping low on an ocean deep
Arousing of a mighty monster from its sleep
We're walking in the air
We're floating in the midnight sky
And everyone who sees us greets us as we fly
A snowy owl above the haunted waters
poet of ancient gods
Cries to tell the neverending story
prophecy of becoming floods
An aura of mystery surrounds her
the lady in brightest white
Soon the incarnate shall be born
The Creater of the night
Deep dark is his Majesty's kingdom
A portent of tomorrow's world
There shall the liquid give Him power
The red-eyed unborn lord
Fatal embrace of the bloodred waters
The cradle of infinite gloom
The spell to master this Earth
Carven on an infant's tomb
'I will die for the love of the mermaid
Her seduction, beauty and scorn
Welcome to the end of your life
- Hail the Oceanborn!'
'Disgraced is my virginity
Death has woven my wedding dress
Oh, Great Blue, breathe the morning dew
For you are the cradle for the image of god'
'Brave now, long rest is sweet
With me here in the deep
'I Prayed for pleasure, wished for love
Prayed for your...'
'Never pray for me!'
'Who the hell are you for me
But a mortal dream to see'
'This apathetic life must drown
Forever just for me'
'Leave me be
Leave me be
Leave me be..ee eeee... e'
'From cradle to coffin
shall my wickedness be your passion
We shall come to set the dolphins free
We shall wash the darkened bloodred sea
Our songs will echo over the mountains and seas
The eternity will begin once again in peace
Born from silence, silence full of it
A perfect concert my best friend
So much to live for, so much to die for
If only my heart had a home
Sing what you can`t say
Forget what you can`t play
Hasten to drown into beautiful eyes
Walk within my poetry, this dying music
- My loveletter to nobody
Never sigh for better world
It`s already composed, played and told
Every thought the music I write
Everything a wish for the night
Wrote for the eclipse, wrote for the virgin
Died for the beauty the one in the garden
Created a kingdom, reached for the wisdom
Failed in becoming a god
Never sigh for better world
It`s already composed, played and told
Every thought the music I write
Everything a wish for the night
"If you read this line, remember not the hand that wrote it
Remember only the verse, songmaker`s cry, the one without tears
For I`ve given this its strength and it has become my only strength.
Comforting home, mother`s lap, chance for immortality
Where being wanted became a thrill I never knew
The sweet piano writing down my life"
"Teach me passion for I fear it`s gone
Show me love, hold the lorn
So much more I wanted to give to the ones who love me
I`m sorry
Time will tell (this bitter farewell)
I live no more to shame nor me nor you
And you... I wish I didn`t feel for you anymore..."
Crownless again shall be the queen
Trophy on her grave remains unseen
A boat on the river confessing the sins
The Riddler revealing the deep hidden things
Crownless again shall be the king
A gull covered in oil with a broken wing
A hitcher on a road alone and lost
Iron sharpens iron ... - a truth that once was
Mine is the Earth and the sword in the stone
Mine is the throne for the idol
One fleeting moment and it is all gone
Crownless again
Will I fall?
Roaming on razor-sharp castles
Ruling all but myself
(Now my night is laid to sleep)
One fragrant rose worth ten times what I am
A crippled begging a coin braver I ever was
Reflection from me - Devil dressed in white
Chasten the being
Become what I once was
Bless The Child
"I was born amidst the purple waterfalls.
I was weak, yet not unblessed.
Dead to the world. Alive for the journey.
One night I dreamt a white rose withering,
a newborn drowning a lifetime loneliness.
I dreamt all my future. Relived my past.
A witnessed the beauty of the beast"
Where have all the feelings gone?
Why has all the laughter ceased?
Why am I loved only when I'm gone?
Gone back in time to bless the child
Think of me long enough to make a memory
Come bless the child one more time
How can I ever feel again?
Given the chance would I return?
I've never felt so alone in my life
As I drank from a cup which was counting my time
There's a poison drop in this cup of Man
To drink it is to follow the left hand path
"Where have all the feelings gone?
Why is the deadliest sin - to love as I loved you?
Now unblessed, homesick in time,
soon to be freed from care, from human pain.
My tale is the most bitter truth:
Time pays us but with earth & dust, and a dark, silent grave.
Remember, my child: Without innocence the cross is only iron,
hope is only an illusion & Ocean Soul's nothing but a name...
Norsemen hearts belong to you
Ancient God of war
You have created a sacred world
In ASGARD is your throne
Time has come to praise the God
Crazy beings were living here
In superstitious fear
Angry Gods would ever cause
Pestilence or war
Time has come to praise it has come
Do it over and over again
Praise him for the upcoming war
You won't feel astray
He's got power in his hand
So cry aloud his name
ODIN used to overlook
From the exalted throne
Gazed towards south and west
The goal of all the hopes
Time has come to praise it has come
Do it over and over again
Praise him for the upcoming war
You won't feel astray
He's got power in his hand
So cry aloud his name
[chorus]
Asgard protects the warriors
Asgard shelter of Gods
Evil grew among the Gods
Holy Asgard fault
Noone praise it started now
The twilight of the Gods
Time has come to praise it has come
Do it over and over again
Praise him for the upcoming war
You won't feel astray
He's got power in his hand
So cry aloud his name
[chorus]
Asgard protects the warriors
Asgard shelter of Gods
I wish I had an angel
For one moment of love
I wish I had your angel tonight
Deep into a dying day
I took a step outside an innocent heart
Prepare to hate me fall when I may
This night will hurt you like never before
Old loves they die hard
Old lies they die harder
I wish I had an angel
For one moment of love
I wish I had an angel
Your Virgin Mary undone
I'm in love with my lust
Burning angelwings to dust
I wish I had your angel tonight
I'm going down so frail 'n cruel
Drunken disguise changes all the rules
Old loves...
I Wish...
Greatest thrill
Not to kill
But to have the prize of the night
Hypocrite
Wannabe friend
13th disciple who betrayed me for nothing!
Last dance, first kiss
Your touch my bliss
Beauty always comes with dark thoughts
I wish...
We're walking in the air
We're floating in the moonlit sky
The people far below are sleeping as we fly
I'm holding very tight
I'm riding in the midnight blue
I'm finding I can fly so high above with you
Far across the wold
The villages go by like trees
The rivers and the hills
The forests and the streams
Children gaze open mouth
Taken by surprise
Nobody down below believes their eyes
We're surffing in the air
We're swimming in the frozen sky
We're drifting over icy
Mountain floating by
Suddenly swooping low on an ocean deep
Arousing of a mighty monster from its sleep
We're walking in the air
We're floating in the midnight sky
And everyone who sees us greets us as we fly
Ever felt away with me
Just once that all I need
Entwined in finding you one day
Ever felt away without me
My love, it lies so deep
Ever dream of me
Would you do it with me
Heal the scars and change the stars
Would you do it for me
Turn loose the heaven within
I'd take you away
Castaway on a lonely day
Bosom for a teary cheek
My song can but borrow your grace
Come out, come out wherever you are
So lost in your sea
Give in, give in for my touch
For my taste for my lust
Your beauty cascaded on me
In this white night fantasy
'All I ever craved were the two dreams I shared with you.
One I now have, will the other one ever dream remain.
For yours I truly wish to be.'
The Forever Moments
The ticktock of time allows me to see
An authent to an echo
New butterfly to a cocoon
The swan to ugly duckling
The lake to an ocean
The deep times awake
As I can calm myself to yesterday
The flower has fallen its petals
Out of the petals a cradle I will
My cradle rocks with the waves of time
The time of beauty will never be the same
Falling again has no man's knowing
Please take me, take me with thee
Now I hear my mother from the deep
Sing me a lullaby of eternal sleep
With thou replant the plaster call
I wish I had an angel
For one moment of love
I wish I had your angel
tonight
Deep into a dying day
I took a step outside an innocent heart
Prepare to hate me fall when I may
This night will hurt you like never before
Old loves, they die hard
Old lies, they die harder
I wish I had an angel
For one moment of love
I wish I had your angel
Your Virgin Mary undone
I`m in love with my lust
Burning angel wings to dust
I wish I had your angel tonight
I'm going down so frail and cruel
Drunken disguise changes all the rules
Old loves, they die hard
Old lies, they die harder
I wish I had an angel
For one moment of love
I wish I had your angel
Your Virgin Mary undone
I`m in love with my lust
Burning angel wings to dust
I wish I had your angel tonight
Greatest thrill, Not to kill
But to have the prize of the night
Hypocrite, Wannabe friend
13th disciple who betrayed me for nothing!
Last dance, first kiss
Your touch, my bliss
Beauty always comes with dark thoughts
I wish I had an angel
For one moment of love
I wish I had your angel
Your Virgin Mary undone
I`m in love with my lust
Burning angel wings to dust
I wish I had your angel tonight
I wish I had an angel
I wish I had an angel
I wish I had an angel
We seduce the dark with pain and rapture
Like two ships that pass in the night
You and I, a whore and a bashful sailor
Welcome to a sunrise of a dirty mind
All you love is a lie
You one night butterfly
Hurt me, be the one
Whoever brings the night
The dark created to hide the innocent white, the lust of night
Eyes so bright, seductive lies
Crimson masquerade where I merely played my part
Poison dart of desire
All you love is a lie
You one night butterfly
Hurt me, be the one
Whoever brings the night
Choose a bride tonight
A fantasy for a zombie
Hurt me, I love to suffer
Your harem's a dream for free
Come with me underwater
And drown to despise me no more
Unholy, unworthy
My night is a dream for free
All you love is a lie
You one night butterfly
Hurt me, be the one
Whoever brings the night
All you love is a lie
You one night butterfly
Hurt me, be the one
Whoever brings the night
White Night Fantasy
[bonus track]
Enchantress came to me
And said, meet me at the lake tonight
I hunt this song to the white
Through the shroud of snow I saw paradise
Peace, no more lies
Crestfallen soul
Rest for this night
Love is here
Right here under my wings
I dream of wolves
With them I run
For me she lengthened the night
I am home
I am in peace
Crestfallen soul
Rest for this night
Love is here
While Your Lips Are Still Red
Sweet little words made for silence
Not talk
Young heart for love
Not heartache
Dark hair for catching the wind
Not to veil the sight of a cold world
Kiss while your lips are still red
While he`s still silent
Rest while bosom is still untouched, unveiled
Hold another hand while the hand`s still without a tool
Drown into eyes while they`re still blind
Love while the night still hides the withering dawn
First day of love never comes back
A passionate hour`s never a wasted one
The violin, the poet`s hand,
Every thawing heart plays your theme with care
Kiss while your lips are still red
While he`s still silent
Rest while bosom is still untouched, unveiled
Hold another hand while the hand`s still without a tool
Drown into eyes while they`re still blind
I went into the wilderness with Uncle Walt
I discovered the wild
Learning to suck all the experience
Seeing the world through cradle's bars
The wild blessed me with an errant mind
Showing the way for the ultimate lore
I went around the world, beyond the wild
Finding my home from an ocean shore
Wayfarer, heartlander
What if I only had
One more night to live
Home is where the way is
My road goes on forever
One more voyage to go
Wayfarer, heartlander
What if I only had
One more night to live
Dead to the world
Alive for the journey
Wayfarer, heartlander
What if I only had
One more night to one more night to live
Wayfarer, heartlander
What if I only had
One more night to live
Home is where the way is
My road goes on forever
A crow flew to me
Kept its distance
Such a proud creation
I saw its soul, envied its pride
But needed nothing it had
An owl came to me
Old and wise
Pierced right through my youth
I learned its ways, envied its sense
But needed nothing it had
Don`t give me love
Don`t give me faith
Wisdom nor pride
Give innocence instead
Don`t give me love
I`ve had my share
Beauty nor rest
Give me truth instead
A dove came to me
Had no fear
It rested on my arm
I touched its calm, envied its love
But needed nothing it had
(repeat ch.)
A swan of white she came to me
The lake mirrored her beauty sweet
I kissed her neck, adored her grace
But needed nothing she could give
Gar tuht river
Ger te rheged
Come and share this painting with me
Unveiling of me, the magician that never failed
This deep sigh coiled around my chest
Intoxicated by a major chord
I wonder
Do I love you or the thought of you?
Slow, love, slow
Only the weak are not lonely
Southern blue, morning dew
Let-down-your-guards, I-love-you's
Ice-cream castles, lips-to-ear rhymes
A slumber deeper than time
Slow, love, slow
Sleepwalker
Close your eyes
Feel the ocean where passion lies
Silently the senses
Abandon all defences
The place between sleep and awake
End of innocence
Unending masquerade
That`s where I`ll wait for you
Hold me, near you
So closely, sear you
Seeing, believing
Dreaming, deceiving
Sleepwalker seducing me
I dared to enter your ecstacy
Lay yourself now down to sleep
In my dreams you`re mine to keep
The sun is sleeping quietly
Once upon a century
Wistful oceans calm and red
Ardent caresses laid to rest
For my dreams I hold my life
For wishes I behold my night
The truth at the end of time
Losing faith makes a crime
I wish for this night-time
to last for a lifetime
The darkness around me
Shores of a solar sea
Oh how I wish to go down with the sun
Sleeping
Weeping
With you
Sorrow has a human heart
From my god it will depart
I'd sail before a thousand moons
Never finding where to go
Two hundred twenty-two days of light
Will be desired by a night
A moment for the poet's play
Until there's nothing left to say
I wish for this night-time...
Once upon a time in a daymare
Dying to meet you, little child, enter enter this
sideshow
Time for bed the cradle still rocks
13 chimes on a dead man`s clock, tick-tock, tick-tock,
tick-tock
The bride will lure you, cook you, eat you
Your dear innocence boiled to feed the evil in need of
fear
Burning farms and squealing pigs
A pool of snakes to swim with, oh sweet poison bite me
bite me
" Ladies and gentlemen
Be heartlessly welcome!
To Cirque De Morgue
And what a show we have for you tonight! "
Restless souls will put on their dancing shoes
Mindless ghouls with lot of limbs to lose
Illusionists, contortionist,
Tightrope - walkers tightening the noose
Horde of spiders, closet tentacles
Laughing harpies with their talons ripping, sher-
chrisss, per-vizzz
The pendulum still sways for you
Such are the darks here to show you, child in a corner,
One more night
To bear this nightmare
What more do I have to say?
Crying for me was never worth a tear
My lonely soul is only filled with fear
Long hours of loneliness
Between me and the sea
Losing emotion, finding devotion
Should I dress in white and search the sea
As I always wished to be, one with the waves
Ocean soul
Walking the tide line
I hear your name
Is angels whispering
Something so beautiful it hurts
Long hours of loneliness
Between me and the sea
I only wished to become something beautiful
Through my music, through my silent devotion
Losing emotion, finding devotion
Should I dress in white and search the sea
As I always wished to be, one with the waves
Ocean soul
Losing emotion, finding devotion
Should I dress in white and search the sea
As I always wished to be, one with the waves
Oh, setting Sun,
Thy red rays maketh me cry.
They remind me of the one
Whose love awaits me in the sky.
A bridal bed awaits us both
After the landscape of death I cross.
Before my sorrows I must die,
Nightwish I send through the starlit sky.
The voice of nightly winds has awakened me,
Amidst all the grief they embrace me with relief.
Beneath my dreams and wishes
I long for thy caresses.
A bridal bed awaits us both,
After the landscape of death I cross.
Before my sorrows I must die,
Nightwish I send through the starlit sky.
"Passed away in silence
The flute from the realm unseen
Empties its heart
Making love to me
With its enchanting melody.
Light of Orion,
Shadow of Andromeda,
Call of the dancing Universe.
Their love I must enter
Before thou can blame my soul
This is me for forever
One of the lost ones
The one without a name
Without an honest heart as compass
This is me for forever
One without a name
These lines the last endeavor
To find the missing lifeline
[Chorus]
Oh, how I wish
For soothing rain
All I wish is to dream again
My loving heart
Lost in the dark
For hope I'd give my eveything
My flower, withered between
The pages 2 and 3
The once and forever bloom
Gone with my sins
Walk the dark path
Sleep with angels
Call the past for help
Touch me with your love
And reveal to me my true name
[Chorus]
Oh, how I wish
For soothing rain
All I wish is to dream again
My loving heart
Lost in the dark
For hope I'd give my eveything
[Chorus]
Oh, how I wish
For soothing rain
Oh how I wish to dream again
Once and for all
And all for once
Nemo my name forevermore
Nemo sailing home
Nemo letting go
[Chorus]
Oh, how I wish
For soothing rain
All I wish is to dream again
My loving heart
Lost in the dark
For hope I'd give my eveything
Oh, how I wish
For soothing rain
Oh how i wish to dream again
Once and for all
And all for once
Nemo my name forevermore
Meadows Of Heaven
I close my eyes, the lantern dies
The scent of awakening, wild honey and dew.
Childhood games, woods and lakes,
Streams of silver, toys of olden days.
Meadows of Heaven.
Meadows of Heaven.
The flowers of wonder and the hidden treasures,
In the meadow of life, my acre of Heaven.
A five-year-old winter heart in a place called home
Sailing the waves of past.
Meadows of Heaven.
Meadows of Heaven.
Meadows of Heaven.
Meadows of Heaven.
Rocking chair without a dreamer,
A wooden swing without laughter.
Sandbox without toy soldiers,
Yuletide without the flight.
Dreambound for life.
Flowers wither, treasures stay hidden
Until I see the first star of fall.
I fall asleep and see it all:
Mother's care and colour of the kites.
Meadows of Heaven.
Meadows of Heaven.
Meadows of Heaven.
Meadows of Heaven.
Meadows of Heaven.
Who the hell are you to tell me
What to do, what to do, why bother?
Leech in a mask of virtue
Such waste, to ever think of you again
Hey Judas, your Christess was our love
Hit and run, your will be done
Never sorry, never wrong
More, more, more, more, more
Master, passion, greed
Master, passion, greed
Hello, how are you?
Let me explain one thing
All for her and more for me
Why is it so hard to see?
I see no sense in doing this
Not enough for me
I fuck up everything
But let me explain
Someday, someday you shall flee
Panting and weak
Master, passion, greed
Master, passion, greed
Master, passion, greed
Master, passion, greed
All within me gone but pain and hope
Hoping that the pain would fade away
Greed, your master passion
I feed the mouth that bites me
Mammon, opiate of the masses
The reek of your lies draws flies
Seek her, seduce her, tame her
Blame her, hang her, kill her
Seek her, seduce her, tame her
Blame her, feast on it all
Seek her, seduce her, tame her
Blame her, hang her, kill her
Seek her, seduce her, tame her
Blame her, feast on it all
With awakening the tears will begin
Kerran vain haaveeni nähdä sain
En pienuutta alla tähtien tuntenut
Kerran sain kehtooni kalterit
Vankina sieltä kirjettä kirjoitan
Luojani, luoksesi anna minun
Tulla siksi miksi lapseni minua luulee
Sinussa maailman kauneus
Josta kuolema teki minusta taiteilijan
Luojani, luoksesi anna minun
Tulla siksi miksi lapseni minua luulee
Oman taivaan tänne loin
I want my tears back!
The treetops, the chimneys
The snowbed stories, winter grey
Wildflowers, those meadows
Of heaven, wind in the wheat
A railroad across waters
The scent of grandfatherly love
Blue bayous, Decembers
Moon through a dragonfly's wings
Where is the wonder, where's the awe?
Where's dear Alice knocking on the door?
Where's the trapdoor that takes me there?
Where the real is shattered by a Mad Marsh Hare
Where is the wonder, where's the awe?
Where are the sleepless nights I used to live for?
Before the years take me
I wish to see the lost in me
I want my tears back!
I want my tears back now!
A ballet on a grove
Still growing young all alone
A rag doll, a best friend
The voice of Mary Costa
Where is the wonder, where's the awe?
Where's dear Alice knocking on the door?
Where's the trapdoor that takes me there?
Where the real is shattered by a Mad Marsh Hare
Where is the wonder, where's the awe?
Where are the sleepless nights I used to live for?
Before the years take me
I wish to see the lost in me
I want my tears back!
Ghost River
It's a long road down the river deep 'n wild
Everytwist and turn a wonder-dale
It's a scary ride we'd give anything to take
Let yourself bleed
Leave a footprint on every island you see
Hey you, child of rape, the riverbed awaits
Snow-white, pitch-black, your life such strife
Heavenward, deep down, I'll show you such sights
Believe it, we live as we dream/scream
He will go down he wil drown drown, deeper down
The river wild will take your only child
He will go down he wil drown drown, deeper down
The mills grind slow in a riverbed ghost town
He will go down he wil drown drown, deeper down
If you want me, then do come across
What is it you dream of child of mine?
The magic ride, the mermaid cove?
Never met a kinder haert than yours
Let it bleed
Leave a footprint on every island you see
I am the painted faces, the toxic kiss
Sowing of doubt, troll beneath the bridge
Come across
Death by a thousand cuts
Believe it, we live as we dream/scream
I am the desert-scape, the sand inside your hourglass
I am the fear and abuse, the leper childeren
Every eye sewn shut
We will go down he wil drown drown, deeper down
The river wild will be our last ride
We will go down he wil drown drown, deeper down
The mills grind slow in a riverbed ghost town
Beautyfully shy as you are
Never loose your heart
You were my first love
The Earth moving under me
Bedroom scent, beauty ardent
Distant shiver, heaven sent
I'm the snow on your lips
The freezing taste, the silvery sip
I'm the breath on your hair
The endless nightmare, Devil's lair
Only so many times
I can say I long for you
The lily among the thorns
The prey among the wolves
Someday, I will feed a snake
Drink her venom, stay awake
With time all pain will fade
Through your memory I will wade
Barely cold in her grave,
Barely warm in my bed
Settling for a draw tonight
Puppet girl, your strings are mine! (x2)
This one is for you
For you, only for you
Just give in to it, never think again
All the same take me away
We're dead to the world
The child gave thought to the poet's words
Gave comfort to the fallen
(Heartfelt, lovelorn)
Remaining yet still uninvited
Those words scented my soul
(Lonely soul, Ocean Soul)
It's not the monsters under your bed
It's the man next door
That makes you fear, makes you cry
Makes you cry for the child
All the wars are fought among those lonely men
Unarmed, unscarred
I don't wanna die a scarless man
A lonely soul
(Tell me now what to do?)
I studied silence learn the music
I joined the sinful to regain innocence
Heaven queen, cover me
In all that blue
Little boy, such precious joy
Is dead to the world
Heaven queen, carry me
Away from all pain
All the same take me away
We're dead to the world
Dead, silent, constant
Yet always changing
My favorite view of this world
As he died, he will return to die in me again
Weaving the cloth, giving birth to the century child
Who gave his life not for the world but for me
Innocence reborn once more
Heaven queen, carry me
Away from all pain
All the same take me away
We're dead to the world
Heaven queen, cover me
In all that blue
Little boy, such precious joy
Is dead to the world
Heaven queen, carry me
Away from all pain
All the same take me away
We're dead to the world
Dark Chest Of Wonders
Once I had a dream
And this is it
Once there was a child's dream
One night the clock struck twelve
The window open wide
Once there was a child's heart
The age I learned to fly
And took a step outside
Once I knew all the tales
It's time to turn back time
Follow the pale moonlight
Once I wished for this night
Faith brought me here
It's time to cut the rope and fly
Fly to a dream
Far across the sea
All the burdens gone
Open the chest once more
Dark chest of wonders
Seen through the eyes
Of the one with pure heart
Once so long ago
The one in the Big Blue is what the world stole from me
This night will bring him back to me
Creek Mary's Blood
[Singing in Lakotan]
Soon I will be here no more
You'll hear my tale
Through my blood
Through my people
And the eagle's cry
The bear within will never lay to rest
Wandering on Horizon Road
Following the trail of tears
White man came
Saw the blessed land
We cared, you took
You fought, we lost
Not the war but an unfair fight
Sceneries painted beautiful in blood
Wandering on Horizon Road
Following the trail of tears
Once we were here
Where we have lived since the world began
Since time itself gave us this land
[Singing in Lakotan]
Our souls will join again the wild
Our home in peace 'n war 'n death
Wandering on Horizon Road...
Following the trail of tears
Once we were here
Where we have been since the world began
Since time itself gave us this land
[Poem in Lakotan:]

[Poem English translation:]
"I still dream every night
Of them wolves, them mustangs, those endless prairies
The restless winds over mountaintops
The unspoilt frontier of my kith n'kin
The hallowed land of the Great Spirit
I still believe
In every night
In every day
I am like the caribou
And you like the wolves that make me stronger
We never owed you anything
Our only debt is one life for our Mother
It was a good day to chant this song
For Her
Our spirit was here long before you
Long before us
And long will it be after your pride brings you to your
Day posesses no key here
where moon sheds the cold twilight
This moment is eternity
Land of beauty,
cold and cruel
Fjeld chants echoing,
reflecting the melancholy...
Trust the wind
Trust the fires
Call for the hermit of the night
Land of raven and bear
Land of eagle and wolverine
Finally the hills are without eyes, they are tired of painting
A dead man's face red with their own blood
They used to love having so much to lose
Blink your eyes just once and see everything in ruins
Did you ever hear what I told you?
Did you ever read what I wrote you?
Did you ever listen to what we played?
Did you ever let in what the world said?
Did we get this far just to feel your hate?
Did we play to become only pawns in the game?
How blind can you be, don't you see
You chose the long road but we'll be waiting?
Bye, bye beautiful
Bye, bye beautiful
Jacob's ghost for the girl in white, blindfold for the blind
Dead siblings walking the dying earth
Noose around a choking heart, eternity torn apart
Slow toll now the funeral bells
I need to die to feel alive
Did you ever hear what I told you?
Did you ever read what I wrote you?
Did you ever listen to what we played?
Did you ever let in what the world said?
Did we get this far just to feel your hate?
Did we play to become only pawns in the game?
How blind can you be, don't you see
You chose the long road but we'll be waiting?
Bye, bye beautiful
Bye, bye beautiful
Bye, bye beautiful
Bye, bye beautiful
It's not the tree that forsakes the flower
But the flower that forsakes the tree
Someday I'll learn to love these scars
Still fresh from the red-hot blade of your words
How blind can you be, don't you see?
How blind can you be, don't you see?
How blind can you be, don't you see?
That the gambler lost all he does not have
Did you ever hear what I told you?
Did you ever read what I wrote you?
Did you ever listen to what we played?
Did you ever let in what the world said?
Did we get this far just to feel your hate?
Did we play to become only pawns in the game?
How blind can you be, don't you see
You chose the long road but we'll be waiting?
Bye, bye beautiful
Bye, bye beautiful
Bye, bye beautiful
Riddler, Riddler ask me why
The birds fly free on a mackerel sky
Ask me whither goes the winds
Whence the endlesstick-tick stream begins
Make me guess if the Earth is flat or round
Set a quessing if fantasies are unbound
If tale aren't just for children to see
That it's peace is sleep walks with me
As you wish
For kingdom come
The one to know all the answers
You think you dwell in wisdom's sea
Still, sweet ignorance is the key
To a poet's paradise
Challenge the Riddler and you will see
Riddler, Riddler ask me why
All mothers beneath the Earth and sky
Hold theait children's hands for a while
Their hearts forever... yours and mine
Make me wonder what's the meaning of life
What's the use to be born and then die
Make me guess who's the one
Behind the mask of Father and Son
(Repeat chorus)
For nature hates virginity
I wish to be touched
Not by the hands of where's and why's
But by the Ocean's minds

Still
Spinning round in my head
How I regret everything that I said
Why did I tell you to go
Saving my pride but losing my soul
I'm here all alone
Still wait by the phone
The hours go by
What else could I do but to cry
I call and I call
Just to make things right
Have I lost the fight
Where were you last night
I beg and I cry
I keep asking why
Where were you last night
Where were you last night
Lost
In the dark and my fears
If only you saw the tracks of my tears
I think I'm losing my mind
Where did you go and what did you find
I'm here all alone
Still wait by the phone
The hours go by
What else could I do but to cry
I call and I call
Just to make things right
Have I lost the fight
Where were you last night
I beg and I cry
I keep asking why
Where were you last night
Where were you last night
I call and I call
Just to make things right
Have I lost the fight
Where were you last night
I beg and I cry
I keep asking why
Where were you last night
Where were you last night
[synth solo]
I'm here all alone
Still wait by the phone
The hours go by
What else could i do but to cry
I call and I call
Just to make things right
Have i lost the fight
Where were you last night
I beg and I cry
I call and I call
Just to make things right
Have i lost the fight
Where were you last night
I beg and I cry
I keep asking why
Where were you last night
Where were you last night
Where were you last night
Wanderlust
I want to see where the sirens sing
Hear how the wolves howl
Sail the dead calm waters of the Pacific
Dance in the fields of coral
Be blinded by the white
Discover the deepest jungle
I want to find The Secret Path
A bird delivered into my heart, so
It's not the end
Not the kingdom come
It is the journey that matters, the distant wanderer
Call of the wild
In me forever and ever and ever forever
Wanderlust
I want to love by the Blue Lagoon
Kiss under the waning moon
Straying, claiming my place in this mortal coil
Riding the dolphins
Asking the mountains
Dreaming Alaska
The Earth can have but Earth
I want to find...
It's not the end...
Look into my eyes and see the wanderer
"Get away from me!
Take heed to thyself and see my face no more!
for in the day Thou see my face
Thou shalt die!"
Exodus 10:28
A constellation of divine architecture built on Earth
A holy harbour - Orion
Nautical ascension to the firmament
Ship-shaped barrows open my heart to the wisdom of this land
Sailing with the Serpent Chimera of a fiendish sandman
The Unicorn arrives with the westwind to dream His funeral
"Thou art born for Horus dwells in Thee"
Slumbering with the ebb and the flow of this foaming tomb
"Thou art born for Seteh dwells in Thee"
Reveal your face to me and guide me though the Stygian fields
Enthral my soul to Sepedet's beams to serve Your will
Sailing on the distant seas from darkness to deliverance
Tales like the ocean written to the Draco's glance
Ruling with the scythe of death you tear out philosophies apart
An ancient starwalk to merge into the stars
"Open thy veins for my venom
Kiss the cobras with thy twisted tongue
So shalt thou join the emryrean circus
Where beggars mourn and seraphs dance
In this twilight cathedral
Shall I wed thee,
O Bride of the Netherwolrd"
(Repeat chorus)
The Phantom Of The Opera
[CHRISTINE:]
In sleep he sang to me
In dreams he came
That voice which calls to me
And speaks my name
And do I dream again
For now I find
The Phantom of the opera is there
Inside my mind
[PHANTOM:]
Sing once again with me
Our strange duet
My power over you
Grows stronger yet
And though you turn from me
To glance behind
The Phantom of the opera is there
Inside your mind
[CHRISTINE:]
Those who have seen your face
Draw back in fear
I am the mask you wear
[PHANTOM:]
It's me they hear
[TOGETHER:]
My/your spirit and your/my voice
In one combined
The phantom of the opera is there
Inside your/my mind
He's there the Phantom of the opera
Beware the Phantom of the opera
[PHANTOM:]
In all your fantasies
You always knew
That man and mystery
[CHRISTINE:]
Were both in you
[TOGETHER:]
And in this labyrinth
Where night is blind
The phantom of the opera is there
Inside your/my mind
[PHANTOM:]
Silent night surrounding me
On the shore of wistful sea
A kindest heart made me believe
The world as I wish it to be
Wind in the wheat
Kiss by a hearth
Little hideaways for a lonely heart
Cast away in beauty’s gloom
The good in me, the child within
A cruelest heart made me forget
The world as I wish it to be
Home inside but lost for life
Human heart longing for love
Slave to the toil, this mortal coil
The strife, the suffering, the void
Wind in the wheat
Kiss by a hearth
A dead calm winter morn,
Morning birds, and a smile of a stranger
Frozen moments in time
Little hideaways, the marrow of life
Little hideaways for a lonely heart
Wind in the wheat
Kiss by a hearth
Little hideaways for a lonely heart
Silent night surrounding me
On the shore of wistful sea
A kindest heart made me believe
Who's there knocking at my window?
The owl and the Dead Boy.
This night whispers my name,
All the dying children.
Virgin snow beneath my feet,
Painting the world in white.
I tread the way,
Gonna lose myself into a tale.
Come hell or high water,
My search will go on.
Clayborn
Voyage without an end...
The nightingale in a golden cage:
That's me locked inside reality's maze.
Can't someone make my heavy heart light?
Come undone, bring me back to life!
A nightingale in a golden cage:
That's me locked inside reality's maze.
Can't someone make my heavy heart light?
It all starts with a lullaby...
Journey, homeward bound.
The sound of a dolphin calling,
Tearing off the mask of man.
The tower: my sole guide.
This is who I am:
Escapist,
Paradise Seeker!
Farewell, time to fly
Out of sight
Out of time,
Away from our lies!

'Twas the night before,
When all through the world,
No words, no dreams
Then one day,
A writer by a fire
Imagined all of Gaia
Took a journey into a child-man's heart...
A painter on the shore
Imagined all the world
Within the snowflake on his palm
Unframed by poetry
A canvas of awe
Planet Earth falling back in to the stars...
I am the voice of Never-Never-Land,
The innocence, the dreams of every man,
I am the empty crib of Peter-Pan,
A silent kite against the blue, blue sky,
Every chimney, every moonlit sight
I am the story that will read you real,
Every memory that you hold dear
I am the journey,
I am the destination,
I am the home
The tale that reads you
A way to taste the night,
The elusive high
Follow the madness,
Alice, you know once did
Imaginarium, a dream emporium
Caress the tales
And they will dream you real
A storyteller's game,
Lips that intoxicate
The core of all life
Is a limitless chest of tales...
I am the voice of Never-Never-Land,
The innocence, the dreams of every man,
I am the empty crib of Peter-Pan,
A silent kite against the blue, blue sky,
Every chimney, every moonlit sight
I am the story that will read you real,
Every memory that you hold dear
I am the voice of Never-Never-Land,
The innocence, the dreams of every man,
Child of dew-spangled cobweb, Mother to the Moon
Constellations beholders of the 3rd vagrant
Theater for the play of life
Tragedienne of heavens
Watching the eyes of the night
Sailing the virgin oceans
A Planetride for Mother and Child
Floating upon the quiet hydrogen lakes
In this ambrosial merrry-go-round they will gaze
Ephemeral life touched by a billion-year-show
Separating the poet from the woe
(Repeat chorus)
Oracle of the Delfian Domine
Witness of Adam's frailty
Seer of the master prophecy
The stellar world her betrothed

Universal bond - The Starborn
A son in search for the truth
Following the pages of Almagest
Discovering the origin of dreams
Stargazers ride through the ancient realms
[1. from a dusty bookshelf]
[2. all that great heart lying still]
the nightingale is still locked in the cage
the deep breath i took still poisons my lungs
an old oak sheltering me from the blue
sun bathing on its dead frozen leaves
a catnap in the ghost town of my heart
she dreams of storytime and the river ghosts
of mermaids, of whitman's and the rude
raving harlequins, gigantic toys
a song of mea song in need
of a courageous symphony
a verse of mea verse in need
of a ppure-heart singing me to peace
all that great heart lying still and slowly dying
all that great heart lying still on an angelwing
all that great heart lying still
in silent suffering
smiling like a clown until the show has come to an end
what is left for encore
is the same old dead boy's song
sung in silence
all that great heart lying still and slowly dying
all that great heart lying still on an angelwing
a midnight flight into covington woods
a princess and a panther by m side
these are territories i live for
i'd still give mt everything to love you more
[3. piano black]
a silent symphony
a hollow opus #1,2,3
sometimes the sky is piano black
piano black over cleansing waters
resting pipes, verse of bore
rusting keys without a door
sometimes the within is piano black
piano black over cleansing waters
all that great heart lying still and slowly dying
all that great heart lying still on an angelwing
[4. love]
i see a slow, simple youngster by a busy street,
with a begging bowl in his shaking hand.
trying to smile but hurting infinitely. nobody notices.
i do, but walk by.
an old man gets naked and kisses a model-doll in his attic
it's half-light and he's in tears.
when he finally comes his eyes are cascading.
i see a beaten dog in a pungent alley. he tries to bite me.
all pride has left his wild eyes.
i wish i had my leg to spare.
a mother visits her son, smiles to him through the bars.
she's never loved him more.
an obese girl enters an elevator with me.
all dressed up fancy, a green butterfly on her neck.
terribly sweeet perfume deafens me.
she's going to dinner alone.
that makes her even more beautiful.
i see a model's face on a brick wall.
a statue of porcelain perfection beside a violent city kill.
a city that worships flesh.
the 1st thing i ever heard was a wandering
man telling his story
it was you, the grass under my bare feet
the campfire in the dead of night
the heavenly black of sky and sea
it was us
roaming the rainy roads, combing the guilded beaches
waking up to a new gallery of wonders every morn
bathing in places no-one's seen before
shipwrecked on some matt-painted island
clad in nothing but the surf – beauty's finest robe
beyond all mortality we are, swinging in the breath of nature
in early air of the dawn of life
a sight to silence the heavens
i want to travel where life travels,
following its permanent lead
where the air tastes like snow music
where grass smells like fresh-born eden
i would pass no man, no stranger, no tragedy or rapture
i would bathe in a world of sensation
love, goodness and simplicity
(while violated and imprisoned by technology)
the thought of my family's graves was the only moment
i used to experience true love
that love remains infintie,
as i'll never be the man my father is
how can you “just be yourself”
when you don't know who you are?
stop saying “i know how you feel”
how could anyone know how another feels?
who am i to judge a priest, beggar,
whore, politician, wrongdoer?
i am, you are, all of them already
dear child, stop working, go play
forget every rule
there's no fear in a dream
“is there a village inside this snowflake?”
- a child asked me
“what's the colour of our lullaby?”
i've never been so close to truth as then
i touched its silver lining
death is the winner in any war
nothing noble in dying for your religion
for your country
for ideology, for faith
for another man, yes
paper is dead without words
ink idle without a poem
all the world dead without stories
without love and disarming beauty
careless realism costs souls
ever seen the lord smile?
allt he care for the world made beautiful a sad man?
why do we still carry a device of torture around our necks?
oh, how rotten your pre-apocalypse is
all you bible-black fools living over nightmare ground
i see all those empty cradles and wonder
if man will never change
i, too, wish to be a decent manboy but all i am
is smoke and mirrors
still given everything, may i be deserving
Romanticide
Godlove and rest my soul
With this sundown neverending
The feel is gone yet you ain't gonna see me fail
I am the decadence of your world
I am an eider covered in oil
Happy hunting, you double-faced carnivore
Tell me why
No heart to cry
Hang me high
The music is dead, the amen is said
The kiss of faith is what I beg
A loving heart 'n soul for sale
Tell me why...
Leave me be
And cease to tell me how to feel
To grieve, to shield myself from evil
Leave me be
Od of lies is killing me
Romanticide
Till love do me part
See me ruined by my own creations
Leave me be...
Dead Boy's alive but without sense
I need a near-death experience
Heart once bold
Now turned to stone
Perfection my messenger from hell
Wine turns to water
Campfires freeze, loveletters burn
Romance is lost
Lord, let me be wrong in this pain
Temporary pain, eternal shame
To take part in this devil's chess game
Spit on me, let go, get rid of me
Reach ("Amaranth" Demo Version)
Baptised with a perfect name
The doubting one by heart
Alone without himself
War between him and the day
Need someone to blame
In the end, little he can do alone
You believe but what you see
You receive but what you give
Reach
For hand-held heart through life
For the dancer to arrive
Reach
And catch me before I fall
Apart from the wandering pack
In this brief flight of time we reach
For the ones, whoever dare
You believe but what you see
You receive but what you give
Reach
For hand-held heart through life
For the dancer to arrive
Reach
And catch me before I fall
Reach
For a friend whoever cares
For someone whoever dares
Reach
To catch me when I fall
Reaching for the doubting one by heart
Hearing voices calling
Catch the one who's falling
Reach
For hand-held heart through life
For the dancer to arrive
Reach
And catch me before I fall
Reach
For a friend whoever cares
For someone whoever dares
Reach
Denying the lying
A million children fighting
For lives in strife
For hope beyond the horizon
A dead world, a dark path
Not even crossroads to choose from
All the blood red carpets before me
Behold this fair creation of God
My only wish to leave behind
All the days of the earth
And everyday Hell of my kingdom come
The first rock thrown again
Welcome to Hell little saint
Mother Gaia in slaughter
Welcome to paradise soldier
My first cry never ending
All life is to fear for life
You fool, you wanderer
You challenged the Gods and lost
Save yourself a penny for the ferryman
Save yourself and let them suffer
In hope, in love
This world ain't ready for the ark
Save yourself a penny for the ferryman
Save yourself and let them suffer
In hope, in love
Mankind works in mysterious ways
Welcome down to my planet Hell
Save yourself a penny for the ferryman
Save yourself and let them suffer
In hope, in love
This world ain't ready for the ark
Save yourself a penny for the ferryman
Save yourself and let them suffer
In hope, in love
Princess of lust
Dignity put to dust
A virginal sight
Their apple to bite
Drink from my thighs
The rain of lies
A sight so cursed
Breasts which never nursed
An Aphrodite for mortal souls
Playing hide and seek in lecherous roles
Their erotic hour my tearless weep
Their satisfaction my infinite sleep
Naked limbs reflecting from the moon
I'll be there for you soon
First wish for this night:
Let me be your delight
Body of a virgin
Sold to the Devil's kin
Your God is me
In all that you see
An Aphrodite for mortal souls
Playing hide and seek in lecherous roles
Their erotic hour, my tearless weep
They came for him one winter's night.
Arrested, he was bound.
They said there'd been a robbery,
His pistol had been found.
They marched him to the station house,
He waited for the dawn.
And as they led him to the dock,
He knew that he'd been wronged.
"You stand accused of robbery,"
He heard the bailiff say.
He knew without an alibi,
Tomorrow's light would mourn his freedom.
Over the hills and far away,
For ten long years he'll count the days.
Over the mountains and blue seas,
A prisoner's life for him there'll be.
He knew that it would cost him dear,
But yet he dare not say.
Where he had been that fateful night,
A secret it must stay.
He had to fight back tears of rage.
His heartbeat like a drum.
For with the wife of his best friend,
He spent his final night of freedom.
Over the hills and far away,
He swears he will return one day.
Far from the mountains and blue seas,
Back in her arms is where he'll be.
Over the hills and far away.
Over the hills and, over the hills and,
Over the hills and far away.
Each night within his prison cell,
He looks out through the bars.
He reads the letters that she wrote.
One day he'll know the taste of freedom.
Over the hills and far away,
She prays he will return one day.
As sure as the rivers reach the seas,
Back in his arms he swears she'll be.
Over the hills and far away,
He swears he will return one day.
Far from the mountains and blue seas,
Back in her arms is where he'll be.
Over the hills and far away,
She prays he will return one day.
As sure as the rivers reach the seas,
Back in his arms is where she'll be.
Over the hills,
Over the hills and far away.
Over the hills,
Born to the false world, the wanderer,
Storyteller, The Pied Piper
On a quest for immortality
Gathering a troop to find the fantasy
Led by a maid - Queen of the night
Voice of angels, such a divine sight
An Amazon to fight and cure
This reality with her feline lure
Patriotic to the promised land of Neverwaking Dream
Nightquest - quest not for the past
But for tomorrow to make it last
Simply the best - way to walk this life
Hand in hand with the dreamers'minds
Enter the realm, don't stay awake
The dreams remain, they only brake
Forget the task, enjoy the ride
And follow us into the night
A merry minstrel with his fingers fast
Playing his lute, charming every lass
Joins the troop with a glitter in his eye
" Shall I find fame or shall I die"
A warrior of power along the path
A hammerheart, his gallantry to last
Rhythm of sirens, enemies, take heed
For in this war laws are a silent sleep
Patriotic to the promised land of Neverwaking Dream
"Come to the elfland" the eldest said,
"In my guidance you shall not be afraid,
I am the mastermind, the wizard to show the way"
First ones to guard this path of night
Lady in black, Lady in white
Followed by legions of night-time wanderers
Guardians of the halls of heart
When we from our homeland depart
To challenge the gods of emptiness
We live in every moment but this one
Why don't we recognize the faces loving us so?
What's God if not the spark that started life
Smile of a stranger
Sweet music, starry skies
Wonder, mystery, wherever my road goes
Early wake-ups in a moving home
Scent of fresh-mown grass in the morning sun
Open theme park gates waiting for
Riding the day, every day into sunset
Finding the way back home
Once upon a night we'll wake to the carnival of life
The beauty of this ride ahead, such an incredible high
It's hard to light a candle, easy to curse the dark instead
This moment, the dawn of humanity
Last ride of the day
Last ride of the day
Wake up, dead boy
Enter adventureland
Tricksters, magicians, will show you all that's real
Careless jugglers, snake charmers by your trail
Magic of a moment
Abracadabra
Riding the day, every day into sunset
Finding the way back home
Once upon a night we'll wake to the carnival of life
The beauty of this ride ahead, such an incredible high
It's hard to light a candle, easy to curse the dark instead
This moment, the dawn of humanity
Last ride of the day
Once upon a night we'll wake to the carnival of life
The beauty of this ride ahead, such an incredible high
It's hard to light a candle, easy to curse the dark instead
This moment, the dawn of humanity
Last ride of the day
Once upon a night we'll wake to the carnival of life
The beauty of this ride ahead, such an incredible high
It's hard to light a candle, easy to curse the dark instead
This moment, the dawn of humanity
Last ride of the day

3 This Moment is Eternity
Day posesses no key here
where moon sheds the cold twilight
This moment is eternity
Land of beauty,
cold and cruel
Fjeld chants echoing,
reflecting the melancholy...
Trust the wind
Trust the fires
Call for the hermit of the night
Land of raven and bear
Land of eagle and wolverine
Dismal are the mirrors of a wolf
What does the free fall feel like?
Asks the boy with a spark in his eye
Know why the nightingale sings?
Is the answer to everything
Taking a step to a world unbound
Spinning my fantasies all around
Freed from the gravital leash
I swear the heaven´s in my reach
Dancing with the spirit of the air
In this ocean so open and fair
Making love to the gods above
On my maiden voyage so bold
Landing safely to the blue lagoon
Don´t know if this is the earth or the moon
Joy of living is no more a mask
The Eden I found will forever last
Migrating with the geese
My soul has finally found peace
Doesn´t matter that man has no wings
Higher Than Hope
Time it took the most of me
And left me with no key
To unlock the chest of remedy
Mother, the pain ain't hurting me
But the love that I feel
When you hold me near
The hopes were high
The choirs were vast
Now my dreams are left to live through you
Red Sun rising
Drown without inhaling
Within, the dark holds hard
Red Sun rising
Curtain falling
Higher than hope my cure lies
Passiontide
An angel by my side
But no Christ to end this war
To deliver my soul from the sword
Hope has shown me a scenery
Paradise poetry
With first snow I'll be gone
The hopes were high...
Red Sun rising...
Your death saved me
Ghost Love Score
We used to swim the same moonlight waters
Oceans away from the wakeful day
My fall will be for you
My love will be in you
If you be the one to cut me
I'll bleed forever
Scent of the sea before the waking of the world
Brings me to thee
Into the blue memory
My fall will be for you
My love will be in you
If you be the one to cut me
I will bleed forever
Into the blue memory
A siren from the deep came to me
Sang my name my longing
Still I write my songs about that dream of mine
Worth everything I may ever be
The Child will be born again
That siren carried him to me
First of them true loves
Singing on the shoulders of an angel
Without care for love n' loss
Bring me home or leave me be
My love in the dark heart of the night
I have lost the path before me
The one behind will lead me
Take me
Cure me
Kill me
Bring me home
Every way
Every day
Just another loop in the hangman's noose
Take me, cure me, kill me, bring me home
Every way, every day
I keep on watching us sleep
Relive the old sin of Adam and Eve
Of you and me
Forgive the adoring beast
Redeem me into childhood
Show me myself without the shell
Like the advent of May
I'll be there when you say
Time to never hold our love
My fall will be for you
My love will be in you
You were the one to cut me
For The Heart I Once Had
Heaven today is but a way
To a place I once called home
Heart of a child, one final sigh
As another love goes cold
Once my heart beat to the rhythm of the falling snow
Blackened below, the river now flows
A stream of molten virgin snow
For the heart I'll never have
For the child forever gone
The music flows, because it longs
For the heart I once had
Living today without a way
To understand the weight of the world
Faded and torn, old and forlorn
My weak and hoping heart
For the child, for the light
For the heart I once had
I'll believe and foresee
Everything I could ever be
For the heart I'll never have
For the child forever gone
The music flows, because it longs
For the heart I once had
Time will not heal a Dead Boy's scars
Time will kill
For the heart I'll never have
For the child forever gone
The music flows, because it longs
Dead Gardens
The story behind the painting I drew is already told
No more tearstains on the pages of my diary
Tired but unable to give up since I'm
Responsible for the lives I saved
The play is done
The curtain's down
All the tales are told
All the orchids gone
Lost in my own world
Now I care for dead gardens
My song is little worth anymore
Time to lay this weary pen aside
The play is done
The curtain's down
"Where are the wolves, the underwater moon
The elvenpath, the haven of youth
Lagoons of the starlit sea
Have I felt enough for one man's deed?
Or is it time to challenge the Ancient of Days
And let the virgin conceive"
Ever felt away with me just once that all I need
Entwined in finding you one day
Ever felt away without me my love it lies so deep
Ever dream of me
Would you do it with me
Heal the scars and change the stars
Would you do it for me
Turn loose the heaven within
I'd take you away
Castaway on a lonely day
Bosom for a teary cheek
My song can but borrow your grace
Ever felt away with me just once that all I need
Entwined in finding you one day
Ever felt away without me my love it lies so deep
Ever dream of me
Come out, come out wherever you are
So lost in your sea
Give in, give in for my touch
For my taste for my lust
Ever felt away with me just once that all I need
Entwined in finding you one day
Ever felt away without me my love it lies so deep
Ever dream of me
Your beauty cascaded on me in this white night fantasy
Ever felt away with me just once that all I need
Entwined in finding you one day
Ever felt away without me my love it lies so deep
Ever dream of me
Ever felt away with me just once that all I need
Entwined in finding you one day
Ever felt away without me my love, it lies so deep
Ever dream of me
Ever felt away with me just once that all I need
Entwined in finding you one day
Ever felt away without me my love, it lies so deep
Six thirty, winter morn
Snow keeps falling, silent dawn
A rose by any other name
Eva leaves her Swanbrook home
Kindest heart which always made
Me ashamed of my own
She walks alone but not without her name
Eva flies away
Dreams the world far away
In this cruel children's game
There's no friend to call her name
Eva sails away
Dreams the world far away
The good in her will be my sunflower field
Mocked by man to depths of shame
Little girl with life ahead
For a memory of one kind word
She would stay among the beasts
Time for one more daring dream
Before her escape, edenbeam
We kill with her own loving heart
Eva flies away
Dreams the world far away
In this cruel children's game
There's no friend to call her name
Eva sails away
Dreams the world far away
The good in her will be my sunflower field
Eva flies away
Dreams the world far away
In this cruel children's game
There's no friend to call her name
Eva sails away
Dreams the world far away

It is the end of all hope
To lose the child, the faith
To end all the innocence
To be someone like me
This is the birth of all hope
To have what I once had
This life unforgiven
It will end with birth
No will to wake for this morn
To see another black rose born
Deathbed is slowly covered with snow
Angels, they fell first but I'm still here
Alone as they are drawing near
In heaven my masterpiece will finally be sung
It is the end of all hope
To lose the child, the faith
To end all the innocence
To be someone like me
Wounded is the deer that leaps highest
And my wound it cuts so deep
Turn off the light and let me pull the plug
It is the end of all hope

The elf-folk is calling me
Tapio, Bearking, Ruler of the forest
Mielikki, Bluecloak, Healer of the ill and sad
Open the gate and let me follow the uncarven path
The way to the lands
Where as a hero I stand
The path where Beauty met the Beast
Elvenpath
It´s the honesty of these worlds
Ruled by magic and mighty swords
That makes my soul long for the past
Elvenpath
The moonwitch took me to a ride on a broomstick
Introduced me to her old friend Home Gnome
Told me to keep the sauna warm for him
At the grove I met rest-the folk of my fantasies
Bilbo, Sparhawk, goblins and pixies,
Snowman, Willow, trolls and the seven dwarfs
The path goes forever on
(Repeat chorus)
As I return to my room
And as sleep takes me by my hand
Madrigals from the woods
Carry me to neverland
In this spellbound night
A snowy owl above the haunted waters
poet of ancient gods
Cries to tell the neverending story
prophecy of becoming floods
An aura of mystery surrounds her
the lady in brightest white
Soon the incarnate shall be born
The Creater of the night
Deep dark is his Majesty's kingdom
A portent of tomorrow's world
There shall the liquid give Him power
The red-eyed unborn lord
Fatal embrace of the bloodred waters
The cradle of infinite gloom
The spell to master this Earth
Carven on an infant's tomb
"I will die for the love of the mermaid
Her seduction, beauty and scorn
Welcome to the end of your life
-Hail the Oceanborn!"
"Disgraced is my virginity
Death has woven my wedding dress
Oh, Great Blue, breathe the morning dew
For you are the cradle for the image of god"
"Brave now, long rest is sweet
With me here in the deep
"I Prayed for pleasure, wished for love
Prayed for your..."
"Never pray for me!"
"Who the hell are you for me
But a mortal dream to see"
"This apathetic life must drown
Forever just for me"
"Leave me be
Leave me be
Leave me be..ee eeee... e"
"From cradle to coffin
shall my wickedness be your passion
We shall come to set the dolphins free
We shall wash the darkened bloodred sea
Our songs will echo over the mountains and seas
Come Cover Me
Come wet a widow's eye
Cover the night with your love
Dry the rain from my beaten face
Drink the wine the red sweet taste of mine
Come cover me with you
For the thrill
till you will take me in
Come comfort me in you
Young love must
Live twice only for us
For me
For you
Time devours passion's beauty
With me
With you
In war for the love of you
(Tonight any dream will do)
Not a world but your fine grace
Seduction in sleepwalker's land
November dressed in May on your face
Holding us now the lovecropper's hand
The wolves, my love will come
Taking us home where dust once was a man
Is there life before a death?
Do we long too much at never land?
Howl, seven days to the wolves
Where will we be when they come?
Seven days to the poison and a place in heaven
Time drawing near as they come to take us
This is my church of choice
Last drinks and death in last sacrifice
For the rest, I have to say to you
I will dream like a God
And suffer like all the dead children
Howl, seven days to the wolves
Where will we be when they come?
Seven days to the poison and a place in heaven
Time drawing near as they come to take us
This is where heroes and cowards part ways
Light the fire, feast
Chase the ghost, give in
Take the road less traveled by
Leave the city of fools
Turn every poet loose
Howl, seven days to the wolves
Where will we be when they come?
Seven days to the poison and a place in heaven
Time drawing near as they come to take us
Howl, seven days to the wolves
Where will we be when they come?
Seven days to the poison and a place in heaven
Time drawing near as they come to take us
Hero, coward, no more
Hero, coward, no more
Today I killed, he was just a boy
Eight before him, I knew them all
In the fields a dying oath:
I´d kill them all to save my own
Cut me free, Bleed with me, Oh no
One by one, We will fall, down down
Pull the plug, End the pain, Run´n fight for life
Hold on tight, this ain´t my fight
Deliver me from this war
It´s not for me it´s because of you
Devil´s instant my eternity
Obey to kill to save yourself
Cut me free...
"I envy the 9 lives that gave me hell
My path made up by their torn bodies
Man to man, soldier to soldier, dust to dust
Call me a coward but I can´t take it anymore"
They wait for me back home
The live with eyes turned away
They were the first ones to see
They are the last ones to bleed
"The ultimate high as all beautiful dies
A ruler´s tool, priest´s excuse, tyrant´s delight...
I alone, the great white hunter
I´ll march till the dawn brings me rest
10th patriot at the gallow´s pole!"
