The universe is going cold and so am I
What little sanity I had has slipped my mind Hear these words An ode for the damned From the sorry second, we were born we’re born to die The hook you swallowed pulls you to the other side So, hear these words An ode for the damned Realize we are but dust Realize we are but dust Just dust on a speck of dust In a godforsaken galaxy so far away The watchmaker has left the scene and thrown away his work And a chilling wind is bringing in the singularity There will be nothing to remember and no one left to care Realize we are but dust Realize we are but dust Just dust on a speck of dust Just dust on a speck of dust 02. Visions For The Blind Music & lyrics by Niklas Stålvind
What’s this about?
The moon is out She’s torturing my soul again Her icy stare nails me to the floor I’m bathing in her light There is a door Best left untouched It’s best to keep it shut Don’t peak inside When the moon is on the rise A stolen look can’t be unseen But the secrets of the night Remain inside a blind man’s eye There are visions meant to be Only for the blind to see Stand eye to eye That face again Am I he or is he me? I’m breaking through To the other side A broken mirror tells no lies But the secrets of the night Remain inside a blind man’s eye There are visions meant to be Only for the blind to see Sometimes I dream And the dream takes over me Visions so clear I could swear they were for real What’s this about? The moon is out My succubus is here again Her icy stare nails me to the floor I’m burning in her light But the secrets of the night Remain inside a blind man’s eye There are visions meant to be Only for the blind to see Secrets Secrets 03. The Time Machine Music by Pontus Egberg, Simon Johansson Lyrics by Niklas Stålvind
Gazing up to the Northern Star
The night is cold and the night is dark And the moon The moon is old and the moon is dead Hanging there like a floating head While we’re crawling like worms here on planet Earth A funeral for the future was held, but no one came What a shame If we ever build the time machine Could we ever make things right? What do you think? Where’s the great man in the sky? Where has he gone, or did he hide? While we’re crawling like worms here on planet Earth You know, blind men see no signs, for what it’s worth If we ever build the time machine Could we ever make things right? If we ever build the time machine Would we ever make things right? I think A rocket launched into the unknown Carrying our dreams Passing by the Northern Star With our childish fantasies Godspeed to you! Gazing up to another star The night’s still cold and my mind is dark While we’re crawling like worms here on planet Earth A funeral for the future was held, it was beautiful If we ever build the time machine Could we ever make things right? If we ever build the time machine Would we ever make things right? I think… not What do you think? 04. Evil Lives Music & lyrics by Niklas Stålvind
I have been turning every stone
And digging deep into the dirt Where no one goes I have explored To find the purest core In the sea of memories I’m immersed Embryonic stages in reverse Peeling off the layers of deceit To find the truth beneath A devil lives inside me Touch my head and feel the burn Evil lives inside The sky is black within me Night eternal every day Evil lives inside A devil lives inside me And inside you there’s one as well Evil lives inside Evil lives inside Evil lives and evil dies Evil lives inside 05. Seek The Silence Music by Pontus Egberg Lyrics by Niklas Stålvind
Words fill the ether like arrows in the sky
But what do they mean to me in a sea of lies Street zombies crossing paths Hollow eyed consumers Plastic bliss at their fingertips Looking for their fix I hear them calling, but I, I seek the silence Just leave me be I need the silence Words from a raging war In a maelstrom of deception They clamp on to my feet Like led shoes in the deep A muffled scream in an absinthe dream Sliding slowly backwards I’d give my arm for a slice of peace Where silence reigns supreme I can’t feel my soul anymore So I, I seek the silence Just leave me be I need the silence I, I seek the silence Leave me be I need the silence Words stuck within my head Screaming to get out They fill my days with hate And chaos on the rise I can’t hear my thoughts anymore That’s why, I seek the silence Leave me be I need the silence Oh I, I seek the silence Just leave me be I need the silence I seek the silence I love the silence 06. Shadowland Music & lyrics by Niklas Stålvind
When the darkness eats the twilight
And the road I walk disappear in the night Have you seen? Have you seen my shadow? Have you seen? Have you seen my shadow? Look out! In my quest for something real I found a lost reality in a dream Have you seen? Have you seen my shadow? For I’ve seem to have lost my shadow In Shadowland My Shadowland Out of touch I wander like a ghost inside my mind To myself an alien who’s looking for his kind If you see me walk in twilight See the shape of me disappear in the night Have you seen? Have you seen my shadow? Come with me You can be my shadow In Shadowland My Shadowland 07. The Ill-Fated Mr. Mordrake Music & lyrics by Niklas Stålvind
Edward Mordrake
What's in the back of your head? Edward Mordrake Can it speak with the dead? Edward, Edward... Can you hear me? Mr. Mordrake Does it whisper in your ear? Sinister Mordrake Things that you don't like to hear Edward, Edward Can you hear me? Edward Mordrake Is it driving you insane? Tell me, Mordrake Do you share the same brain? Edward, Edward Can you tell me Oh, Edward, Edward Please tell me Where does your devil twin begin and where do you end? Or are you the same? Will the voice be silent at the end of the rope? In one leap of hope Just one leap of hope Edward Mordrake You think you're all alone But my dear Mordrake We're more alike than you would know Edward, my friend, I can hear it too, it’s driving me insane Insane Edward Edward 08. Rasputin Music & lyrics by Niklas Stålvind
Into the light I must go
Out from the darkness I know Your eyes have seen through my soul And into the future Oh, Rasputin! Rasputin! I put my blind faith in you I do what you tell me to do The greater the sin we commit The sweeter forgiveness Oh, Rasputin! Rasputin! Ignorant fools cannot see Secrets that you have revealed A beacon you are in the dark The nation must follow you Oh, Rasputin! Rasputin! 09. Exit Sign Music & lyrics by Niklas Stålvind
A living lie on repeat
Too many years of the same old pain And believe me, I have seen I've seen the enemy inside your eyes Not another day in this jail This is me looking for an exit sign To find my way out Returning to the nothingness from where we came And find my way out I can't remember yesterday And I know tomorrow will be just the same I have to watch my every step Always make sure to cover my tracks Not another day in this jail This is me looking for an exit sign To find my way out Returning to the nothingness from where we came To find my way out My mind is made up, this isn't real Watching the ground from my balcony I shall unite with mother earth Spreading my wings as I am falling free Not another day in this jail This is me looking for an exit sign To find my way out Returning to the nothingness from where we came And find my way out 10. Into The Black Hole Music by Pontus Egberg Lyrics by Niklas Stålvind
By my window I sit watching people go by
Observing while they go about their day Sometimes I wait for a wave or a smile Pretending that it might have been for me I dial between the frequencies on my radio For messages from another sphere Hoping that someday they’ll come to take me home But my breathing is the only thing I hear So fasten your seatbelt We’re in for a ride Speeding away from the light Into the black hole To be crushed by the weight of the void Into the black hole Gravity compels me to venture into the black Into the black Just a stranger, merely a ghost in this town I would love it if there was a place for me But my compass is broken and my ticket is lost Where I go it doesn’t matter anyway Fasten your seatbelt We’re in for a ride Speeding away from the light Into the black hole Crushed by the weight of the void Into the black hole Gravity compels me to venture into the black Into the black Into the black Into the black No pain No more sadness The end of my troubles Seems like a dream So fasten your seatbelt We’re in for a ride Speeding away from the light Into the black hole Crushed by the weight of the void Into the black hole Gravity calling me home Into the black hole Gravity compels me to venture into the black Into the black Into the... black 11. Trial By Fire Music by Niklas Stålvind, Simon Johansson Lyrics by Niklas Stålvind
To take a look into the future
This untamable beast Is like to look into a wolf’s eye Ages staring back at me It’s tempting to sit and indulge in denial But no one escapes their trial by fire Memories flashing by Of evil deeds done Maybe my shadow is using me To hide from the sun It’s easier to see our brother’s imperfection Than to aim the scrutiny at ones own reflection When all your hiding places have been occupied By your own demons Will you run or hide? The evil you shun may be closer to you than you think Renew your perspective The devil might be Where you least expect him to be If you care to see If you care to see If you dare to see No ones escapes their trial by fire No one escapes Set yourself ablaze The purgatory is inside you ‘Cause no ones escapes their trial by fire No one escapes Set yourself ablaze The purgatory is inside you To guide you To purify you Don’t be afraid Look steady at the light I’ll see you on the other side |
