[Music & Lyrics: J. Johansson]

Is this the way you want to live?
Is this the life you wanted?
Learning ways to fly
Sometimes too high to come down
You're pushing limits day by day
You'll push until you're flying
Burn thy senses
Burn them for a while
Tell me why?

[PRE CHORUS]
You've built your own world
(Built of Cocaine)
To burn thy senses day by day
In a wasteland
Made by your own hands
You've built your own world
(Raised for a slave)
You will be dying if you can't
Stop this madness
It's up to you - It's your decay...

[CHORUS]
In Imaginarium
Where lives will fade
In Imaginarium
You're lost within a shade

Is this the way you want to live?
A slave beneath addiction
Realize and face insight
Before it's too late

[PRE CHORUS - CHORUS]

[Music: J. Johansson]
[Lyrics: H. Weimedal]

I'm haunted by shadows inside
Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide
The lunacy strikes from behind
Planting its roots inside your mind
[PRE CHORUS]
I feel so strange
I feel so lame in my soul
From time to time it's hard to tame
Doing things I can't control

[CHORUS]
I am lost to insanity
When will I break free?

I'm running away from my life
Knowing the lunacy's thrown the dice
I'm loosing the knowledge of me
Why can't you see that I...

[PRE CHORUS - CHORUS]

Save me from insanity
Save me from myself
Breakable as it may seem
But trust me I have seen
The depths of hell

[CHORUS]

When will I break free?

Help me to escape!!!

[Music & Lyrics: J. Johansson]

We'll take on the world
The final embrace
We've got the power
The magic and faith
Still we go - Still we know
There's no force greater
[PRE CHORUS 1]
Forever...endeavour
There's no stand away
We'll gather one day
Forever...endeavour
Break these walls of never

There's no way to stop
We'll never give up
Our future's written
Our faith will remain
Heed the call - We won't fall
We'll rise together

[PRE CHORUS 2]
Forever...endeavour
Rise along the way
United we'll stay
Forever...endeavour
Last eternally

[CHORUS]
Higher and higher we'll rise
We'll raise our power
Strong as a legion we ride
To keep our faith alive
Decade to decade
We'll raise our power
Higher and higher we'll rise
As long as we're alive

[PRE CHORUS 2 - CHORUS]

[Music: J. Johansson / F. Eriksson]
[Lyrics: J. Johansson]

A journey through the ages
Returning to the past
Where ancient cultures fallen
Fear...will we be the last?
Atlantis drowned in silence
And Egypt raised its grave
We've gazed into the unknown
Death...is our providence
[PRE CHORUS 1]
We'll fall from grace
Without a trace
We'll leave this world
To die and to remain so far from here

[CHORUS]
We've seen the end of all
We've watched the coming fall
This world will be no more
Lost into nevermore
There's no way out of here
There's nothing left to fear
We'll say farewell and then
Lost into nevermore...again

Foretelling words of wisdom
A darkened future view
We'll reach a new horizon
Then...life will start anew
The realm of Rome was burned out
The Babylonians fell
We'll be the next to enter
Them...in the pits of hell

[PRE CHORUS 1 - CHORUS]

This is what the prophets have foreseen
This is the reality
We are damned for all eternity
We can't leave or flee

This is what the ages left behind
This intends the end of time
For a million souls, this world's no more
Soon we'll make a stand in nevermore

[PRE CHORUS 2]
A coming war - Will burn the core
And open up the lock to heavens door

[CHORUS]

Forever...we'll be
A dying legacy
Whenever...we'll be
Lost into nevermore

Forever...we'll be
A piece of history
Whenever...we'll be
Lost into nevermore...again

[Music: H. Weimedal / J. Johansson]
[Lyrics: S. Petersson]

In the still of my mind
I heard the words...and once again
When loneliness comes I know I'll be there
Those echoing voices now confine
What's left of me
The whispering sins, the cross that I bear
Set me free...before the numbness spreads
Before the fear has taken hold
In my hour of need
I'm drained of my thoughts
And my will is growing cold

[PRE CHORUS]
Will this road lead me home?
Am I lost inside a dream?
Nothing is what it seem

[CHORUS]
Come follow me through darkness
Guide me through pain
Be the shelter I need to remain
Show the way where deliverance's to find
Give me reason
Salvation from this shattered mind

When bitterness forms your every move
The hate leaves scars
Your shadow encloses all in your way
Can't tell my memories from dreams anymore
The distance grows
Consuming illusions spreading decay

Let me be...before my senses fade
Before the fear has taken hold
In my hour of need
I'm jaded and weak
And my will is growing cold

[PRE CHORUS - CHORUS]

[Music: J. Johansson]
[Lyrics: S. Petersson / J. Johansson]

In a time of mastery
Seducing lies were told
The wars were far behind us
But anger still crept cold
Words of infamy
Sowed seeds of blinding hate
And mesmerized by glory
The masses met their fate

[PRE CHORUS 1]
The darkest time of man's at hand
Blind follow blind along the blood trails
Orders form a chain of command
While leaders wait and watch in deathly silence

[CHORUS]
Dark images of one man's hate
Still remember...the pain and sorrow
Dark images of one man's hate
Still remember...the years of devastation
There's no shelter
There's no peace

In our time of innocence
We can't neglect the past
The wars are far behind us
But seeds of hate breed fast

[PRE CHORUS 2]
For the master race symbols are praised
While fires are fueled within the death camps
The deafening sound of marching raised
A haunting memory that will last forever

[CHORUS]

[Music: J. Johansson]
[Lyrics: J. Johamsson / S. Petersson]

Guilty for nothing, treason took place
The Caesar's effacing thy grace
Once a commander but life's turning fast
Into a dark world you're cast
[PRE CHORUS 1]
Pay the price for guiltless crimes
Enter the great arena
Raise thy sword, the martyr you are
Kill or be killed at once

[CHORUS]
When your fate is in the light
In a dome of watching eyes
You fight to keep thy honour
But you can't forget the lies
Pride once lost...the holocaust
The entrance to martyria

Gone are the days of imperial fame
When pride rose along with your name
Your future was lost in the merciless raid
When your loved ones were brutally slayed

[PRE CHORUS 2]
Here you stand embraced with pain
There's no retreat or shelter
Keep thy trust, there's glory to find
Fight with no fear in mind

[CHORUS]

See through the lies
I'm your destined sacrifice
For the glory of Rome
Forevermore...I'm coming home

[CHORUS]

[THE THEME'S BASED ON THE MOVIE "GLADIATOR"]

[Music & Lyrics: J. Johansson]

What once was a dream
Now vanished in me
All that I've mourned
To the memory of thee
The love we once shared
The light that was there
Burned out too quickly
In sorrow and despair
[PRE CHORUS]
I'm nailed from inside
A heart that still cry
Formed from that day when you died
The sadness will stay
Grief made my way
Into the depths of the dark
(Darker than ever, please...)

[CHORUS]
Save me...I'm frozen and cold
Tears keep on falling
Like rain from above
Save me...the memories take hold
Please, hear my pleading
"If you could revive for awhile"

Embraced by the pain
My pleasure's in vain
Since you were gone
To heaven now belong
If you could revive
And stay for awhile
Renew what we had
Then it wouldn't be that sad

[PRE CHORUS - CHORUS]

[Music & Lyrics: J. Johansson]

We're moving on
To a place where we don't know
All lives will end
For the good and for the fool
Life's turning on
To pass by what's growing old
What we don't know is
Where we'll rise beyond our fall

[PRE CHORUS]
Ivory mirrors in great halls
Will reflect our fate and guide the fall
Into nothingness, heaven or hell?

The day will come
When it's time to reach the gate
Enter the great halls
Where the mirrors seals our fate

[PRE CHORUS]

[CHORUS]
It's a secret...
Will remain till the end
It's a secret...
Where our souls will transcend
It's a secret...
Will remain till the end
Then the answers will be told
To where in afterlife we're hold

Listen my friend
The fate lies in your hands
Will seal thy destiny
Don't know when...
It's all in secrecy

[CHORUS]

[Music & Lyrics: J. Johansson]

The hope is lost in the glass of time
To say a prayer's in vain
After all nothing will remain
The sins we've made still widen the wounds
A dying legacy
In the breed of new technology
[PRE CHORUS]
Take us to a place where we can save our souls
From the ashes of the earth into nevermore
Our souls will remain

[CHORUS]
Fly...we'll reach the sky
Reborn here after
Die...to remain in afterlife
Fly...from here and now
Reborn here after
Die...for a greater paradise

We've lived our lives, now we're left to die
The Armageddon's vague
Will arise with a fiery plague
The end of days lies before us now
We'll reach infinity
Then we'll breed a new mythology

[PRE CHORUS - CHORUS]

[Music & Lyrics: H. Weimedal]

For many years now I have been told
That I will pay for all my sins
But I don't know what, what I have done
Can someone tell me what I've done wrong
Trapped in a dungeon, chained to the bones
The walls are closing, surrounding me
My heart is hollow, filled with despair
Ooh hear my pleading, please hear my prayer

[PRE CHORUS]
The voices in my mind
Please take this pain away

[CHORUS]
In times of darkness
I am scared to close my eyes
I'm scared to falling into sleep
My mind is tumbled
By the memories of my past
Can someone help me, save my soul?

I feel he's close now I feel him breathe
Can sense the fear Can sense the pain
This is my doomsday This is my end
My life is over, was it all in vain?

[PRE CHORUS - CHORUS]
