01. Spell Of Seduction
Well , ok lets make a story out of this , northern shaman falled in love with a woman who seduced him , and offered him eternal youth from a potion of blue liquid , well not really , anyway women seduce.


02. Forever Young
Hopefully I am not never too old to play heavy metal , well actually there's a something about light that shines in your heart , and you can be forever young within your heart , no matter how old you are.


03. Flames In The Sky
Well here we kill a dragon of the sea , and walk through battlefields and finally skies are burning in fire.


04. Moonlight Shadows
I guess we now arrive in a theatrical world , this could be like a operatic and majestic theme , praise of moon etc , yearning of lost love etc.


05. Wheels Of Time
This is kind of , what is time , is it illusion of events , anyway here we yearn back to eternal youth , or something , well I guess some bridges seem to burn too , actually Pete added that word to it because it sounded to fit into the song.


06. Wings Of Dawn
Well this had something to do with new morning and dawn of the sun , after we walk trough moonlight shadows ,we fly into a new dawm.


07. Within My Heart
Well , love , what else , yearning , emotion , just short lyrics , what else to say.


08. Light In The Dark
Well this actually can be related in to revelation of seven seals or something , also it is related into that star that arise in your heart etc, well it can be also seen that there is light even after darkest day.


09. Winter Nights
Well , I actually 1,5 years ago I lived in a apartment where was really cold in the winter , and I am not joking , yeah well , to create art it is not sometimes so glorious , well my mother had heart problems back then and I was kind of disappointed in my life in general , well I guess life leaves a some sort of mark to guitar playing and music.


10. Land Of Thousand Lakes
Well this is a song about ancient Finnish times shamans etc and about the beauty of Finland.


11. Paradise
Well there's time for everything , time for tears time for love, I don't know , it is about yearning to some sort of paradise where we all could live in peace.


12. Shaman Beat
This is related to those ancient times where shamans in Lapland falled deep in trance and travelled trough the spirit world etc mystic song with mysticism.


13. Northern Twilight Symphony
This song I wrote before my mother died , and I guess I had some sort of premonition because some of these melodies sounded so sad at the time when I wrote them , anyway this song structure is build around sequences and melodies with no improvisation , and most of the notes a triads , anyway hope here was enough ideas what these songs are about , anyway I always try to leave more space to listeners imagination to get their own view of these songs , anyway thanks ,with kind regards Jaron raven VIRTUOCITY.
