Iivonen Walking alone Aimless, to some it may seem Charting the darkness Trying to make sense of this world Rays of light scattered In this darkness Using them to align my route Intuition is my main guide Wishing for the past is useless That is why I don't look back The Journey ahead With the destination in my mind Power of the name will not mean anything in the end In the end deeds are all that matter Do you know who I am? Do you know yourself? I take no advice from you Your words I will not heed No Chains placed upon us By others and by ourselves I break free To unleash the wisdom I can suppress the temptation That makes the difference between man and beast I follow my own code, beyond all good and evil Tried and tested throughout countless ordeals Watching the flock as I go by No pity in my eyes I can suppress the temptation That makes the difference between man and beast I follow my own code, beyond all good and evil Tried and tested throughout countless ordeals Not all men are equals All must show their worth You are a slave The one who can set you free Is found within So much potential wasted, on this night on earth But I won’t mourn; one needs to wake up himself I is the highest authority, hear the resolve in my words Seeking knowledge even knowing it could lead to my demise Those who have done the least are the loudest to criticize Why others have not done enough for them Without strife there is only stagnation Conflict forces one to better oneself Conflict forces me to better myself Without strife there is only stagnation Others have done enough for me I have done more, and do not beg for mercy A storm outside, calm in my mind I have courage to see this trough Seeking the answer in midst of the battle I have determination to find my own truth A storm outside, calm in my mind I have courage to see this trough Reckoning Music: J. Karjalainen Lyrics: S. Iivonen In the middle of fog of war Surrounded by unknown Not having the courage To open your eyes When you hear what is said You follow blindly Take the first step Behind the void Letting go of the things deemed secure Without dare all seems impossible What is life without mettle? Is it a life worth living? No will of own No resolution No purpose Achieve nothing One second, a century, all the time in the world Doing nothing, trapped in imaginary cage When it comes down to it I will put you out of your misery Determination Music: J. Karjalainen Lyrics: S. Iivonen No memory, no history Only narrow view forward No one stands taller than the man who stands last No faults, no defects Halt and prove your integrity No one stands taller than the man who stands last No one can keep me down I will forever sing my song I once heard: "a broken man can't stand again" I need no support, I will rise again I have no fear It will be my song eternally burning No one will ever be complete Need arises always to compete And for that dispute I sing my song For a world where no life belongs Secluded Path Music & lyrics: S. Iivonen Born from conflict Will I perish By my own hand Great clouds from the sky Seeing my own demise O' I search the unyielding mind Visions that stand still in my dream How can I return if I never leave I want to know the other side behind the veil One way to get above all A fear crawling what is this The knowledge required Is locked in the mind I know someday It will exist Finding it from The depths hiding It is useless to fight For in the end we shall all Meet the brother of sleep Is it not freedom To end your life Or to choose to have your own demise Am I weak or strong If I carry on like this Weak Some defied Is this a part of a plan? Something died Inside My despondency shadowed Will of mind with that I will defy Behind the veil The one who gave fire Even when suffering for the end of the days The manifestation through aeons Never weakened The Flame that is still alive! All that I see Light that elopes all All that I see Nothing at all Slow I feel Motion that numbs All that I feel Won't matter anymore Slow I hear white noise fading All that I hear the tone of deafness The one to witness this The one to unlock the gate Is me Strength Within was recorded in July & August of 2011 at Drop Hammer Studios & Rehearsalucifer-studio.
