01. Haunted By Guilt

Music by Antti Kokko
Lyrics by Pekka Kokko
Upside down once again
Open sliced, violated throughout
Wasted away

The bringer of life now slaughtered
The unborn and the existent
Now murdered

It makes me feel so restless
It makes me think about
My right to live

Humanity that takes everything
And gives nothing should be
Haunted by Guilt
Why can't we live as we should live
Not by taking it all and be
Haunted by Guilt

Nothing changes
Nothing happens

Greed is a sin and is well-rewarded
Humanity is a virtue and so condemned

She cries out in pain can't we hear
We can not shift to a higher gear
We could be pleased for less
There is a way out of this mess

02. Veil Of Sin

Music by Antti Kokko
Lyrics by Pekka Kokko
Puppets – All made of wood
Hark! — The word of truth
The leader – Who knows it all
Speaks – And we hear the call

We crawl

The Veil of Sin
Nothing to win
Everything will fall
But the crawlers will crawl

Sorcery – Behind the smiling mask
Abuse – In the name of faith
Behind the false – Proudly we stand
Humility – We can't understand

We will burn
No return

We crawl

03. Scarred By Sadness

Music by Antti Kokko
Lyrics by Pekka Kokko
I am looking at the past
Through the eyes of presence
I am looking for sadness
In the midst of delight
To find it, so easy
To keep it, so complex
My best friend misery
Oh darling, I've missed you

Take me in your arms
And do not let go

Scarred by Sadness
Scarred for life
Marked by sorrow
Sweet, sweet demon of mine

Life is hard with no grief
Without the taste of defeat
So much joy to swallow
Hypocritical and hollow
To deny, to lie
What is wrong if you cannot cry
I am happy, just fine
On my talk till the day I die

Do not run away, away from me
Always stay close
Always close to me
Stay with me
Stay with me

04. No Words Sad Enough

Music by Timo Lehtinen
Lyrics by Pekka Kokko
Silence, and nothing more
Shadows but no light
Darkness and nothing more
Divinity but no life

Eternal night falls
My destiny calls
Those who see become blind
Sadness fills my eyes

The touch of a new dawn
Desolate and bald
The whiteness is gone
Nothing to adore
Its light does not heat
Coldness in my feet
How to be brave
Standing on your grave

All my love is gone
Silence and nothing more

No Words Sad Enough
For me to say
No price high enough
For me to pay

All my love is gone
Silence and nothing more

05. Serve The Untrue

Music by Antti Kokko
Lyrics by Pekka Kokko
Right or wrong, it won't last long
For me to come to share the fun
Awakening – The strength within
We will feel the ceremony

Praise the lord
Play the chord

Holiness, blessedness
Lay to rest, be my guest
The state of mind so divine
The metaphor so wry
That will never die

Cross your arms and stay
Fall on your knees and receive
Save yourself for the day
When you will, it perceives

Will to Serve the Untrue
Enticing me enticing you
Will to Serve the Untrue
Inside of me inside of you

A ritual to atone
For the sin of man
To obey is better
Than sacrifice

Praise the lord
Play the chord

Will to Serve the Untrue
Will to Serve the Untrue

06. Home Sweet Hell

Music by Antti Kokko
Lyrics by Pekka Kokko
I cannot stay in this place
Cannot stand here anymore

Distress gnaws inside me

I have to go, have to leave
This behind to live my dream

Sweet little dream
Just my wish

Home Sweet Hell
The last farewell
Home Sweet Hell
Nothing more to tell

I'm on my way to stay away
Away from you
Away from the pain

I did not bend
In front of you

Before I burned the house down
I locked you in
You were so awesome
So this is win-win
I will not miss you
Or do not hate
It's what you deserved
Or call it fate

Burn, burn

Sweet little dream
Just my wish

07. Tons Of Chaos

Music by Antti Kokko
Lyrics by Pekka Kokko
Hello boys, what's up in there
Here is rust like everywhere
You left me here to see the show
To see the end, to see how it goes

Nothing has changed here
It is the same
Everything we do – Wasted
Think you were right
Just knew when to leave
To get yourself out of this madness

There is no chance for me to come
I have to stay in my world
Don't try to reach me anymore
You have to leave, leave me alone

But if you can hear me
I can tell you this
There is nothing new here
Everything is the same

What have we got today?
What will we get tomorrow?
Tons of Chaos
Here nothing ever changes
You can find it everywhere
Tons of Chaos.

Tons of Chaos
Tons of Chaos
Tons of Chaos

08. Red And Black

Music & lyrics by Pekka Kokko
War

His neck is Red but soul is Black
One misled mind who leads the attack
Oiled machine ready to run
Killing all just for fun

Providence – A divine play

The sky is Red, world is Black
Son of God has come back
Realm of light will burn to ash

Those days are over
When everything was fine
Behind the leader we all will die
Lover and the mistress
Emptiness inside
Care but no tender reflects our time

The cross was Red now burning Black
Taken, truth turns to dust
Rise me up when I fall
Knock me down, I've seen it all

Red and Black
Red and Black

09. Taken Before Given

Music by Antti Kokko, Pekka Kokko
Lyrics by Pekka Kokko
A newborn in a basket cries
Her mother and her father – Dosed
Welcome to the world little one
Nothing that they have
Done is your fault

Life – Mystery in itself
A gift – So hard to keep
Death – Nothing more than the end
An aim – Too easy to achieve

Taken Before Given
Traded before broken
The thread of life so fine
Made with love or without it

A sin – And everything within
A crime – Older than time
Lust – The evil we trust
Hate – Our graceful fate

Taken away from you
Everything and nothing
Broken – The thread of life
Before Given

Maybe even better not to be born
Everything you'll learn here is
How to crawl and mourn
In this crooked creation filled with
Nothing is given
And even that is Taken

10. Drifting In A Dream

Music by Antti Kokko
Lyrics by Pekka Kokko
There is nothing around
No silence no sound

The earth is calling me in my sleep
The bogey is hiding inside me
My eyes are blinking, I'm drifting away
Away from the blackness towards the light

I'm falling out
From the edge of the earth

I'm Drifting in a Dream
That does not belong to me

There is no movement
Pure empty space
I still hear your calling
With a grin on your face
You let me down then
You will let me down now
So nothing has changed
In this constant dream

I'm falling out
From the edge of the earth

I'm Drifting in a Dream
That does not belong to me
I'm Drifting in a Dream
In a dream already seen

Oh, please save me
Drifting in a Dream
Drifting in a Dream
Dream already seen
Drifting in a Dream
