Seven Thorns - Return To The Past lyrics



Tracks



01. Liberty

In the times
Where darkness controls your mind
There is a greater force
Than you and me
Search your heart
In your soul you
Were meant to find
The answer to what you seek
Soon you will see!

Our time has come - united as one
We will rise to the Land of the Sun!

Today we stand up and fight
With metal by our side
On wings of steel we fly
And return to paradise!
Forever you will be free
Reach for the skies to see
United we stand
Together we fight for truth and liberty!

Long ago you swore to a way of life
A promise of yours to keep
Forever in a time
Now you wake
To the sound of an ancient call
Await for the stars to send a glorious sign!

No need to hide, stand up and FIGHT!
In the darkness we'll show you the light!

Breaking the spell
Time to fulfill
The oath that we once swore so long ago
Long ago!

02. End Of The Road

Temptation is here
But that's not what you need to fear
Salvation is here
Maybe - but is it the price
Worth you pay?

A new savior is born
And like the old one he is wrong
The old still stand strong
Beloved and obey
Will they save us form hell?

Come and take my hand
I'll show you the way
To promised land
I'll show you the meaning to it all
The meaning of life!

Why trust my word
When so many lies have been told?
I'll give you no rules
And I will never
Condemn you to hell!

So come and take my hand
I'll show you the way
To the promised land
I'll show you the meaning to it all
The meaning of life!

Listen to your heart
I know how it sounds but it's a start
It's all inside you now sing along
reach out for the sky!

Cause I know where to go
And I know what to live for
Cause I know yes I know
There's a light at the end
The end of the road!

Cause I know
Why the stars shine so
Bright at night
And I know
There's no power beyond
It's a power within
Waste of time
Don't pray down on your
Knees at night
Wast no time
We are all at our own
You are not left alone!

Road - Road - Road!

03. Through The Mirror

In the darkness of my mind
I'm turning every stone to find
A place I haven't been before
To find that open door!

Out of the darkness suddenly
A light appears in front of me
The mirror image that I fear
It's not a dream - and now it's clear!

Why do I hide
When I have the power inside?
To shatter and break!

Sometimes when I'm alone
I'm looking at the face of stone
It is intense consistently
This mirror imprisoning?

I wonder when did I let go
What is a trap? I do not know
Did I decide to lose control
To live like this - to feel alone?

The mirror withholding my fate!

Look from the other side
At the world where I used to belong
Will I return
Or am I forever
Lost behind the mirror?

Must I go on
What is it I fear?
I know what they say
Seven years of bad luck
But is it enough
To hold me back
To keep me trapped?

The mirror withholding my fate!

Look from the other side
At the world where I used to belong
Will I return
Or am I forever..?

No
I have the strength to break free!

To look from the other side
At the world where I used to belong
I won't return
Cause I'm forever free!

04. Freedom Call

As a lightning they strike
No warning - their armies attack
In the dark of the night
Destroying it all
Our kingdom - our freedom
No mercy at all!

They attack our way
There is no option
We must fight to protect our lives
To fight or be slaves
No reason to choose
Destiny calls my name!

Through unknown lands
Across the sea
To face our destiny
We fight for victory
To the end and beyond!

Oh-oh-oh
We will fight 'till we die
But with glory we fall
Oh-oh-oh
You will hear our freedom call!

As we ride through the fields
The sun will enlighten
The banners that carry our names
We're soldiers of steel
Defenders of valor
Through all eternity!

A cry in the wind
Our enemies flee
By the sound of a glorious call
With faith in our hearts
We fight for our vengeance
And freedom for all!

Hear our freedom
Hear our freedom call!

05. Countdown

Leaving for the stars
And I will fly tonight
High up in the sky
I will never return
High up in the sky
Is where my future lies
It's time to say goodbye
I will never return

And I know
I might die
Never reach paradise
Nothing's holding me back
Things I know
Is left behind
Time has come
No worried mind
Nothing's holding me back

Explanation
Non existing
No more sanity
Time has come
Reason's gone
It's time I'm leaving the Earth

Destination
Unknown places
Only fantasy
Hope is here
Time is near
For me I'm leaving Earth

Space is calling
No more yearning
For a better time
Soon I'm gone
Won't come back
Tonight I'm leaving the Earth

Limitations
Left behind
Farewell to boundaries
Fear is gone
Almost gone
Goodbye I'm leaving the Earth

The countdown has began
The engine is turned on
It's time to go
To face the unknown

06. Forest Majesty

Out of the shadow and into the light
I've tried to crawl all my life
The shadow surrounds me
I'm lost in the night
Feels like an eternal fight!

Deep in the forest and its might
Alone with myself I try to hide
I want to live my own life
Surrounded by beauty I find rest
Will think for myself
Won't be oppressed
While trying to find the way to the light!

They will condemn me feel sorry for me
Try to save me for the madness
They tell their stories
What's right and what's wrong
But all I can hear is their sadness!

I want to go where no one's been
I want to feel what no one's felt
I want to live my own life
Surrounded by beauty I find rest
Will think for myself
Won't be oppressed
While trying to find the way to the light!

Clearing
The Hall of Forest Majesty
The secret of the divine rests here
Here I will seek the meaning to my life

07. Spread Your Wings

Time has come
But there's no hope for me
Time just seem to pass me by
Expectations? Has no news for me
Nowhere to start
But space enough to cry!

One way track
No place for fantasy
Your destiny is forced on me
To be lost is what my future holds
If that's your life
No jump up and fly!

Spread your wings
Feel the air through your hair
Fly so high - don't be afraid!
It's your time to be free
If you spread your wings and fly!

Don't hold back
Take all life offers you
Chase your dreams - live for your life
There's no limit up there in the sky
Don't hold back
Now jump up and fly!

It's your time to feel the love that it brings
If you spread your wings and fly!

It's your time to feel the love that it brings
If you spread your wings
If you spread your wings
If you spread your wings and fly!

08. Fires And Storms

Have we learned from history?
Is now a better time?
Or will there be stupidity
In the tales of our life?

Today we make the same mistakes
Mankind is on its knees
We have found a better plan
We will change our history!

With steel in our hand
We will search throughout the land
Metal knight is on our ride
With metal by our side
Evil has no place to hide
We're the guardians from paradise!

They will try to stop our ride
Destroy our paradise
With hate they try to ruin our lives
But they can't withstand our metal pride!

You can't hide
We're the warriors of the divine light
We're the guardians of mankind
We're glorious!
Oh-oh-oh
Can't yous see?
Metal is your destiny!

Metal is your destiny
Metal is your destiny!

09. Return To The Past

I see wonders - I see beauty all around
Clear blue skies
And stars shining bright at night!

Everything that I use to dream of
Is right here - it's all in my hands
I am glad and thankful for living
No questions here - I'm alive!

Still it feels like there's a black hole
in my heart
Sadness seems to travel with me
All around!

Here the sun shine - it feels like forever
There's a smile - that won't leave my face
But I cannot get rid of this feeling
There's a place that's calling my name!

So I'll be going back to my real home
Going back to where I belong
To the place where it all started
Back where I found my call!

Everything is passing by so very slow
Now I know that I am heading
Back to home!

Time moves on - it feels like forever
When there's a place
Where you rather would be
And I'm s ad because I'm leaving
This wonderful place of my dreams!

Save at last - I feel the comfort in my soul
Peace at heart - familiar place I call home!

But the dream - it's slowly returning
I want out - I need to break free
Pack my bags - I'm ready to go now
To a place where I long to be!

So I'll be going back to my dream world
Going back to where I belong
To the places where it all started
Back where I found my call!

An endless journey
Is the life I live?
I travel on
As I am heading for home!

I feel the yearning
Deep inside my soul
I need to go
I need to feel safe at home!
