- 06. Land Of The Free
From the shadows of the stars
Comes a man with no face, soul of million scars
An evil Count, The End of Days
There are many ways to
Take full advantage when we cannot see
Make us live in a part-time reality
- 2. Running Lights
The sunset will make the night,
He feels the road with the headlights
He's one of the wilder kind,
In his yellow and red skyline
Young man... and... his... fast car
Squeezing... the wheel...
Knuckles white
- 4. Shy
I can see how you are beautiful, can you feel my eyes on you,
I'm shy and turn my head away,
Working late in diner Citylite, I see that you get home alright,
Make sure that you can't see me, hoping you will see me
Sometimes I'm wondering why you look me and you blink your eye,
You can't be acting like my Dana,
I see you in Citylite diner serving all those meals and then
- 8th Commandment
8th Commandment
All those lies suit you. They are custom made to drive
you out of reality. Lies are true for you. You know, what
you do is reaching a point of insanity.
When you wake from your dream you know what is true?
Ring of bell inside your head is playing with your mind
- Abandoned Pleased Brainwashed Exploited
Wake up my child, hope is here.
With the vengeance, we have no time to bleed.
My only world filled with fear.
I never saw the sower of the seed.
Where is the world we had. Who can ever save you and your little lives.
A child guides a child guided child.
A child is never guilty. But you should not run free...
- Abandoned, Pleased, Brainwashed, Exploited
Wake up my child, hope is here.
With the vengeance, we have no time to bleed.
My only world filled with fear.
I never saw the sower of the seed.
Where is the world we had.
Who can ever save you and your little lives.
A child guides a child guided child.
- Ain't Your Fairytale
The ones who seek justice,
Will pray for it all their lives...
They can and they will skin us all one day...
Oh can you hear them cries? (Can you hear them cries?)
As far as the man can run from us we're following the trail of blood
So hunt my young ones
- Alone In Heaven
Welcome to heaven, left from the lights, the number seven
You have it all now, now that you’ve come to see the light
Take it all in, an open mind
Now you wonder: What if your heaven
Was someone else’s hell?
Heaven. What the hell would I do
In that place without you?
- As If The World Wasn't Ending
Started a dangerous game that's not won by
The person who made the first move
Chose to be targeted by all those eyes
And now, some of you think I'm a fool...
I guess I am guilty, I'm only a man
But this world is imperfect too,
And that just has to do...
- Black Sheep
In love with the maiden, The flower of winter
Lowbrow children, in grove of the inland
How many times heart's gone thru the grinder
wherever you look there's a painful reminder
Singing a love song, words of a stranger
The howling miller, never to face her
- Blank File
It is your new best friend, new eye in your private den
And you can find the world inside it every day
They know what you did today, hear everything you say
And when they send you mail,
they know where you will go sometime next day
They know your life, they have a file about you
They built your life, so they...
- Blinded No More
Your pretty face seduced me
blinded me from how you used me
I walked the long way home
only to get hurt by you again
The longest glance, oh
what illusions did I have of you
A lone reflection splitting in two
- Blood
"Blood"
At first you kindle life
You place it in a man
This man, he has a heart
That's filled with fire
The man will have a wife
- Bondage Goat Zombie
There comes Fenris' twin
His jaws are open wide
The serpent rises from the waves
Jormungandr twists and turns
Mighty in his wrath
The eyes are full of primal hate
- Broken
"Сломленный" (перевод)
Я рождён из разбитого семени,
Я вырос нежелательным сорняком.
Быстрее времени, обгоняющего меня,
Немного сложнее снова вспоминать тебя.
Держу факел для тебя, когда молния ударяет в меня.
- Caleb
There is a man in this world, who has never smiled
You may know his tragedy, the later years, by heart
In the beginning, there was a mother, a father, and a child
A troubled little silent boy, whose life they worked to destroy
Known to us from this day on
By his father,
Caleb.
- Candle Lawns
So cold and lonely it seems so long since someone was here
Following the shadows, with the sun till it disappears
Thousands of stone white crosses, a formation for all to see
With flags and flames, the ranks and the names of those who died to be free
The fire remains in our hearts all of our dreams made new
Etched in the flames of freedom, we're living on thru you
- Champagne Bath
Spare me your tiny talk, kneel down and wash my feet.
Could someone, please, fly you away, out from your misery.
Suck it all in, go ahead and take your daily overdose.
Only do not come and demonstrate me how your mind explodes.
Build yourself a Trojan horse, to stand out in the mass.
Tuck it here before our eyes, then see what comes to pass.
Well - cut version of the turmoil you have caused is on the news.
- Cinderblox
If I one day found my way back home
One more ride for the hell of it
If I one day found my way back home
I would tell you how I love you so
One more time for the road tonight, honey
One more try just for the hell of it
- Deathaura
[The Premonition]
"Remember when I told you how my
Kin is different in some ways?
And how you should not fall in love
With someone like me, anyway...
Between the lines, people see signs
When they feel the sear, every day's fear...
- Destruction Preventer
I'm at home where my coat's hanging,
I'm a shepherd of raising sun
I believe and trust in my land,
I control, I am in charge of
Everyones future, red button is mine
Miss the times when I was roaring
in the center of all mankind
- Don't Be Mean
I am lost with no key
And I worry there's no easy way out of this place
I'm the pain that I cause.
Must I let out all the evil to be healed?
To be healed. Is it really what I want?
Don't be mean now, you know how I feel.
Give relief, don't be mean to me
- Draw Me
Blessed with an eye to see things as they are, will you draw me?
Up there on the wall, looking down to us all, you never saw me...
I found a pen, and I outlined a life.
You've never cried, I think I saw a tear in your eye.
Your eyes tell the tale, I will not ask again.
Now I see what you've lost nothing is quite the same.
By the love of my heart, cut my drawing in half, for I think I'm like you... Should you draw me...
- Dream Thieves
Welcome, come in, yes this is me
I gave once too much and now
I can't get rid of thee
I can't be subtle, I can't be kind
WHy should I be there for you
Fuck off and get a life!!
Read a book unwritten,
- Everything fades to Grey
Tonight my life will lack it's meaning
One final step before we're seeing...
For once I am happy my little friend
Cannot comprehend what we are seeing
- False news travel fast
I Look out the Window, I see the sun in the sky, for now,
it is not for me
Stories of old times, Black Book of Lies with no reason nor rhymes
No secrets, no disguise
Colour of the jealousy that hangs over thee
Why don?t you believe, You still do not know me
- Fly With The Black Swan
Once I got caught in an avalanche,
I must have died,
When a Black Swan flew to the rescue and cried
An offer I could not refuse, now I'm working on the other side.
Well, I flew with the bird then, we flew all night
I got to see my prison from a thousand feet high
buy me a drink, and I tell you
- Full Moon
Sitting on a corner all alone,
staring from the bottom of his soul,
watching the night come in from the window
It'll all collapse tonight, the fullmoon is here again
In sickness and in health, understanding so demanding
It has no name, there's one for every season
Makes him insane to know
- Fullmoon
Sitting on a corner all alone,
Staring from the bottom of his soul,
Watching the night come in from the window, window
It'll all collapse tonight,
The fullmoon is here again
In sickness and in health,
Understanding so demanding
- Graven image
We met that night, when the sea ran high.
And I craved for more of that nearlove experience.
Those who the music hath then joined together, are now put asunder....
Remember me, when I lit the fire.
To keep us warm.
On a cold winter morning. Now I pass through the moment.
Can I still recognize a beautiful melody...
- Gun
Back then it was only fun, something we'd always done
Smash it up, and then you run, all that without a gun
But something came up one day, some bills you couldn't pay
And you got carried away, oh so far away
They wanna use ya, they wanna lose ya
They make your Father singing "Hallelujah"
I wanna help ya, so let me help ya
- Half A Marathon Man
And 89 year old man learned how to run
And as he passed me by, he said "Come on, son!"
I really thought my bones weighted a ton
As I dragged them up and down the block
Now a couple of weeks have passed
Gone are the makings of a lazy man
When I saw the usher of change
- I Want Out
From our lives' beginning on
We are pushed in little forms
No one asks us how we like to be
In school they teach you what to think
But everyone says different things
But they're all convinced that
They're the ones to see
- In Black And White
I'm a doorman at my Death Row, you faceless foe of heart
An accent, a drop of darkest blood on snow, white feather in the tar
A tear stain on your frozen face
A life, in black and white
You slaughtered my soul again
Tried my best to be worth your two realities
You're breaking my heart again
- It won't fade
You borrow the moment, betray your own heavens
The darkness is thickening, breathing gets harder
The balance is off, some take more than give back,
the attitude, ignorance, proved to be fatal
for that tiny spark that led our way
you poisoned the air, should you stay away, hence
Wish to be one of us, follow the trail
- Kindom For A Heart
What the hell are you standing there for, expecting
Me to help you, when I'm down myself
Waiting my savior, my world is flooding over, there's
No room for air, I can't breathe, I would give a kingdom
For one more day
I'd give, a kingdom
For one more day as a king of your world
- Kingdom For A Heart
[Tony Kakko]
What the hell are you standing there for, expecting
me to help you, when I'm down myself
Waiting my saviour, my world is flooding over, there's
no room for air, I can't breathe, I would give a kingdom
for one more day
- Larger Than Life
I climb up on the stage
Wearing an old mans face
I've said those words a thousand times
I memorized the lines of Paris, The Prince and Friar
I might one day play them too
To get here took its time, I forgot to make a life
Between the scripted ones I knew
- Last Drop Falls
When I'm looking in your eyes
Everything seems to fade away
After all these years we had do I know you now
Have I trusted blindly in your love, too many times
You said: "hey, my love, I'm sorry but we can't go on 'cause
I'm in love with someone else"
Tell me, what do you want me to say
- Letter To Dana
Dana, my darling, I'm writing to you.
Cause your father passed away, it was a beautiful day
And I don't want to bother You anymore,
I used to hope you'd come back
But not anymore Dana.
My eyes might have betrayed me, but I have seen
your picture on the cover of a filthy magazine
- Love
Oh I love the face you try to hide in your hands, we are in love
Oh I love the snow angels we make hand in hand, we are in love
Give me the stone you're hiding within
Shimmering, frozen, all it does is make me feel the cold
Rules don't apply, gravity lies
The moon gently smiles when we silently sway while I sing
- Mary-Lou
Mamas put your babies to sleep, story too cruelsome for
them this is. In Junior high she said goodbye to her parents and ran
away with a boy. She left her family warm and kind, all of her friends said
"you're out of your mind". Life of her own she would find, it's monday and she's
gotta grind.
A Job as a waitress she sure was to find, beautiful face,
mind of a child. Boy got her pregnant, Mary-Lou cried," For this I am
- Misplaced
Sometimes I feel so out of time and place, trapped in a maze
As if I was lost in someone else's life
The values I should keep in high regard don't mean a thing to me
Do you ever feel a need to go back in time? A dream of mine
To travel far away and one day steal back my life
In the end all I can do is learn I live in a dreamland
- My Dream's but a Drop of Fuel for a Nightmare
My painted face, I'm a clown,
and I'm laughing while my dream turns into a nightmare,
fade away, I'm asleep,
not too deep...
The walls of night have left me scarred
the broken glass I stepped on, twice.
the ardent spirits' rusty edge, decapitate me...
- My Land
My own land has closed ots gates on me
All alone in world, it's scaring me
I am here to prove you wrong
I'm accused of something I live for
In my dreamland, there's some who understands
A friendly soul, trusting life in my hands
- My Selene
[Music and lyrics by Jani Liimatainen]
Nocturnal poetry:
Dressed in the whitest silver you'd smile at me
Every night I wait for my sweet Selene
But still...
- One, Two, Free-Fall
He said:
"Sit down and hear what I say, little prince
I've taught you to live by the book ever since
you came here, one lifetime ago.
Your brothers and sisters are gone, they all know…"
They sang in both choirs, the sinners and saints
I told you how twisted a picture it paints
- Paid In Full
I was nowhere near ready when all it ended
So I hoped we could find a new day, cannot live without you
You gave me the chance, time and again in vain
Now my feelings for you
Every tear, every smile, paid in full
Wrecked the chain, but no longer can I take the pain
- Peacemaker
You've got the wings of the fallen angel
You offer peace if they praise your name
You live your life taking everything you can get
Look out, time to fly!
Life on the streets is gamble with your own life
Only two things: you live or you die
Looking for fight, punishing guilty ones
- Picturing The Past
In a house where no one never sleeps,
lays a man who sees more with his eyes
Picturing the past before him,
in a bed, alone, with clothes on
Paying for a service he doesn't really need
With his eyes, he sees more love and lust
more tears, far too much to handle
- Replica
I'm home again, I won the war, and now I am behind
your door. I tried so hard to obey the law, and see the
meaning of this all. Remember me? Before the war.
I'm the man who lived next door. Long ago...
As you can see, when you look at me, I'm pieces of
what I used to be. It's easier when you don't see me
- Replica 2
I'm home again, I won the war, and now I am behind your door
I tried so hard to obey the law, and see the meaning of this all
Remember me? Before the war I'm the man who lived next door
Long ago...
As you can see, when you look at me, I'm pieces of what I used to be
It's easier if you don't see me standing on my own two feet
I'm taller when I sit here still, you ask are all my dreams fulfilled
- Respect The Wilderness
Winter in here ain't as cold as they say
We have nature, yes, we know the way
Accomodation in the lap of the nature
Can give you a moving response,
if you response...
Violate the law of the wild, see her lose her temper
Drink the wine from her stream
- San Sebastian
I could see my life, short film passing my eyes
I tried to look away from her, as always I just tried
Sweetness in her eyes, gone through one million miles
How could I turn my back on her, the sweetest thing alive
I was eager, day time dreamer, waiting time when I'd come alive
Sun of San Sebastian eighteen years young today
She's all I ever dreamed, but now my skies are turning gray
- Shamandalie
In good old times, remember my friend
Moon was so bright and so close to us, sometimes
We were still blind and deaf, what a bliss?
Painting the world of our own, for our own eyes, now?
"Can we ever have what we had then?
Friendship unbreakable
- Shy
I Can see how you are beautifull, can you feel my eyes on you,
I'm shy and turn my head away
Working late in diner Citylite, I see that you get home alright
Make sure that you can't see me, hoping you will see me
Sometimes I'm Wondering why you look me and you blink your eye
You can't be acting like my Dana
I see you in Citylite diner serving all those meals and then
- Silver Tongue
Mind, filled with fairytales.
New ones every day, don't ask me anything now,
I know what you're waiting.
The curtain to fall.
Names don't mean anything, hear the lady sing.
All human rights are now cancelled, you need to handle.
The dreams of the day.
- Somewhere Close To You
Somewhere Close To You
(Tony Kakko)
Hold me when I'm standing
When I've fallen, we're disbanding
You are so goddamn beautiful, but
Unstable, your joke got old
- Tallula
Помнишь, мы вместе наблюдали закат,
И ты сказала: "Он длится вечность"...
Я верил каждому твоему слову, а ты верила мне.
Но сейчас ты говоришь, что все кончилось...
Ты берешь меня за руку и притягиваешь к себе.
У меня такое чувство, что тебе не хватает слов...
Я произношу одно вместо тебя, целую в щёку, прощаюсь и ухожу,
- Tallulah
Remember when we used to look how sun set far away'
And how you said: "this is never over"
I believed your every word and I guess you did too
But now you're saying: "hey, let's think this over"
You take My hand and pull me next to you, so close to you
I have a feeling you don't have the words
I found one for you, kiss your cheek, say bye, and walk away
- Tallulah-Красивая песня посвещенная неразделённой любви.
Remember when we used to look how sun sets far away?
And how you said: "this is never over"
I believed your every word and I guess you did too
But now you're saying : "hey, let's think this over"
You take my hand and pull me next to you, so close to you
I have a feeling you don't have the words
I found one for you, kiss your cheek, say bye, and walk away
- The Boy Who Wanted To Be A Real Puppet
So many years ago, many more than I'd
Even care to bear in my mind
From the darkest of all places I found you
All the limbs in their right places There my place is
And a heart made of real gold
Sell me your little doll, oh sir,
I ask you kind Oh sir, I ask you kind.
- The Cage
A lifetime ago, with frozen eyes they closed the doors
Suddenly I realized what locks are for, no trusting them anymore (lights are out)
Empty stare, innocent and unaware, dragged out from my home, my lair
Earmarked me, hurt me, burned me
The walls around me, eyes surround me, feed my fear again
I must be freed or I will die before the harvest moon, my friend
I do not have another year in me, you've gotta set me free
- The Day
Sea full of diamonds, good morning new day
I'll fix us breakfast, and the newspaper says
The company will lay off 5000 souls today
"I wish I was a child with no worries back then", I say
"Kiss me and smile...", you reply, in your way
You wake up the children for school... for the last time
For suddenly our beautiful life blurs away and the world breaks into pieces

Back then it was only fun, something weґd always done
Smash it up, the then you run, all that without a gun
But something came up one day, some bills you couldnґt pay
And you got carried away, oh so far away
They wanna use ya, they wanna lose ya
They make your father singing hallelujah
I wanna help ya, so let me help ya
- The Misery
I write the lines you want me to
With words I dare to use of all
The ones that you have taught me
Along the years
You cast a perfect shadow on the paper
Fade away with sunlight
I fear the way you know me
- The Mistery
I write the lines you want me to, with the words.
I dare to use of all the ones that you have taught me, along the years.
You cast a perfect shadow on the paper.
Fade away with sunlight, I fear the way you know me, love can leave a stain...
You steal my only hope and make me stay awake another night.
I wish you bear with me, stay near me.
- The Power Of One
(Tony Kakko)
Father I have killed many angels,
I think.
I will now walk in the sea.
I hope you will someday forgive me
Please moor
my empty boat on a pier
- The Rest Of The Sun Belongs To Me
[Japanese Bonus Track]
I have no feelings, there is no more sunlight.
The darkest hour is now here.
I must have lost it for good, staying here without a fight.
Out in the cold and windy night.
Still waiting for a sign.
- The Ruins of My Life
The Ruins Of My Life
The land was then young, I was fighting for it like everyone.
Ready to die for the cause, for my King, for my Lord.
You were my reason to live, to fight another day.
You were the only one for me, and you were only for me.
- The Truth Is Out There
Now I am crawling in (my crawling skin)
I can't wake up anymore (can't find the door)
I try to make a deal (with myself)
to avoid the blinding door... (once again)
The party's over, the flies are back,
Unexplained. Mean and bad.
The deepest wound, still no scab.
- The Vice
Number nine out of eleven little littermates,
rotten apples, all the way.
Littermates all with different fates,
taught them almost all I knew.
And now the best, the primus,
number nine of eleven little littermates,
feeling almighty
- The wind beneath my wings
It must have been cold there in my shadow
To never have sunlight in your face.
And you can content to let me shine,
You always walked a step behind.
I was the one with all the glory
While you were the one with all the strength,
Only a face without a name,
- The Wolves Die Young
Weather's getting colder,
Winter claims the land
it is said the Queen is dressed in
The warmest grown in the whole land
They say it is a wonder, a dress made of thunder,
The Wolves, who cannot see it,
will one day dethrone the Queen, oh yeah!
- Tonight I Dance Alone
Sometimes we find things we're not looking for
and we lose the sense of reason
Sometimes we lose what we are caring for
and then face the day without them
My life, my home, my you
- Un Opened
[Tony Kakko]
Another misspelled rhyme
written in the book of time
In one page I've spent all my life
Ink ain't even dry. I've been living in a lie?
How could I trust in someone of your kind?
- Under Your Tree
Under Your Tree
(Tony Kakko)
The leaves they fall
Upon the day that makes a memory
Those pleading eyes,
Echoing, silently in me
- UnOpened
Another misspelled rhyme,
written in the book of time.
In one page I've spent all my life.
Ink ain't even dry. I've been living in a lie?
How could I trust in someone of your kind?
And I got today, another letter in the mail
I can't read it here, not today.
- Victoria's Secret
The Light escapes her room tonight, every little moment tells her, now
it´s time Opening a new scar, closing the wounds with a knife, no more
crying in the lanterns light…
Leave with the first light, go when you still see the moon
Run for the sunlight, gate is now open for you
Dancing on the path and singing, now you got away
- Victorias Secret
The light escapes her room tonight.
Every little moment tells her, now it's time,.
Opening a new scar, closing the wounds with a knife.
No more crying in the lanterns light...
Leave with the first light, go when you still see the moon.
Run for the sunlight, gate is now open for you.
- White Pearl, Black Oceans
I was born and raised by the sea, shy yet proud,
Learned to stay away from the crowd
In my home, my lighthouse...
101 steps, round and down
New Years Eve, one night in the town
Can change one life into eternity...
All I could see, her eyes,
- Wildfire
Burn honey, burn, let the fire eat away
I never liked the look of this town
Burn it down now
I'll run, they all know what I've done
I fetch my gear and take my leave from this mountain
I never had a chance to prove I wasn't guilty,
I always seemed to get blamed for
- Wildfire, Pt. 2 - One With The Mountain
Years have passed since The Family was driven out of the village by force.
The people had won, but as some of the old folks knew, this victory was not final.
The unrest would not end but only cease for a while, as it had always done since the beginning of times.
Hence, they taught their offspring to love and hate, respect and fear, thinking it would be the best way to avoid the inevitable
The last page of the book read:
"Children, despite our best efforts, we have grown weak
One day when you least expect it, during a party or harvest festival, a man, not quite a man, yet not quite a beast will walk up the road and join with his family, the nature. Unless humanity has found harmony before that… you all will perish."
"Hello"
- Wolf And Raven
Grant me a wish, my master
Take heed of me
I have been loyal servant
Heartfelt, humble
Gave up - what belongs to me
Gave up my greed
My self-examination
- Wrecking the Sphere
I see the landscape before me
So beautiful it makes me smile
Those whispering sounds in silence
Reaching for me, trying to warn me...once again.
Wake up to sense the violence
Right and wrong, clear and strong
Whispering sounds in the darkness
- You have new love and it looks good on you, I have never wished you dead...yet.
[Chapter One]
I gave you my time
I gave you my whole life
I gave you my love, every dime
They told me it was... a crime
Do you remember?
Or did it all go in vain...

I gave you my time
I gave you my whole life

Did it all go in vain..?
- Страдание
Я написал эти строки, как ты хотела
Осмелившись использовать слова на полную катушку
Как ты и учила меня
Все эти годы
Ты отбрасываешь столь безупречную тень на бумагу
И исчезаешь с рассветом
А я боюсь того, каким ты меня знаешь
