01. Don't Say A Word

Music & lyrics by Tony Kakko
I am your poison candygram
The love that's meant to fade away
Vade retro, alter ego, move aside I'm choking on this life
I think I tolerate your hate as long as you're afraid
All I wanted was to be with you, and suffer every day

Under the moon I hold a wake for a promise torn
Mortally wounded, feeling sheltered me
Once again, my shadow will enter your life
Time to walk with me the last mile...

I read a book about the man, a love, a woman, how they died
How I was waved aside, listen how the headless doves cry
I truly see a madman in the mirror when I'm weak
I spent a year in love before I realized it's me

Open your blue eyes, tell me that you love me, whore
Make me believe it, oh, I know you're lying
Broke the vow, I thought you made, my angel, why...
Could I let you wait out the night

Mother always said \\"my son, do the noble thing...\\"
You have to finish what you started, no matter what
now sit, watch and learn...
\\"It's not how long you live, but what your moral say\\"
Can't keep your part of the deal
So don't say a word... don't say a word

It won't be long now, love, like mist I slowly feel the room
I place a black candle on your chest
The path of night is manifest
I never wanted us to end up in this catatonic phase
It wasn't me who ran away, you made me stray...

Open your blue eyes, tell me that you love me, whore
Make me believe it, oh I know you lie
Broke the vow I thought you made, my angel, why...
Settling the score, we pass the twilight
Mother always said \\"my son, do the noble thing...\\"
You have to finish what you started, no matter what
now sit, watch and learn...
\\"It's not how long you live, but what your moral say\\"
Can't keep your part of the deal
So don't say a word... don't say a word

Strawberry blond, your stranglehold
on my heart is bound to end
I suppose, life sometimes,
it doesn't go the way it was meant
Though you never were a believer,
I assure you: I won't die before you
You read the book now,
the part \\"ashes to ashes, dust to dust\\"

Short is the flight of this little starling
Love sounds familiar, but the amotion escapes me
I will carpe the diem while it's still here,
and see how the fear of death becomes her

We had it all so sweet
Made for me, you, indeed...
Big secret, small the lie
Don't cry for me, oh, argentite

No word you say tonight
Can make this be alright
I'll help you follow through
Remember this?: pacta sun servanda

... The wounds are too deep,
I need to keep the scars
to prove there was a time
When I loved something more than life

Unlike the last time here,
I know have the means and a will sincere
Your knight is nowhere near
Unfortunate for you, this make me your God...

Closing your eyes, don't ever say you love me, whore
You never meant a word, I know you lied
When there is life, there is dispair, indulge me now
and stay alive this night... I promise you the end before the first light arrives...

Mother always said \\"my son, do the noble thing...\\"
You have to finish what you started, no matter what
now sit, watch and learn...
\\"It's not how long you live, but what your moral say\\"
Can't keep your part of the deal
So don't say a word... don't say a word

04. Ain't Your Fairytale

Music & lyrics by Tony Kakko
The ones who seek justice,
will pray for it all their lives...
They can and they will skin us all one day
oh can you hear them cries...
As far as the man can run from us
we're following the trail of blood...
So hunt my young ones...

I have always known the storm would come,
listen now, my young ones...
This is not a story I tell
of midnight, moon and sun...

Are you ready to walk the forbidden road,
learn again what we tried to forget...
(The dark can now take over you...)

We have a common past, an ancient bond
the people once broke...
We would only take what we need,
they would harvest our weak...

But they hunted us all,
we ended the last of them, thus far, ten lifetimes ago...
(In hopes of healing the sore...)
But the war still went on,

Preying for the moon,
Hiding for the day,
These might be our last times,
I ain't gonna see you taken away...

Heading for the dawn,
Of our way of life,
You're welcome to give it your best try...
Look me in the eyes, oh, wolver;
This ain't your fairy tale...

It took us many years to teach them
how to cry wolf...
We made the people serve the purpose;
those ignorant fools... (My young ones!)

Teach the ones below you something you've learned,
and learn from the ones above you;
fear is your deepest wisdom...
For these last days...

Preying for the moon,
Hiding for the day,
These might be our last days...
I ain't gonna see you taken away...

Heading for the dawn,
Of our way of life,
You're welcome to give it your best try...
Look me in the eyes, oh, wolver,
This ain't your fairy tale...

The ones who seek justice,
will pray for it all their lives...
They can and they will skin us all one day
oh can you hear them cries...
As far as the man can run from us
we're following the trail of blood...
So hunt my young ones...
The pack they have always feared is back...

On your last day, remember: we never die...
Death does not exist for us,
they don't fear the wolf, but the wild within,
no glory to the way this must end...
This is a story I told,
unfolding before you,

Preying for the moon,
Hiding for the day
These might be our last times...
I ain't gonna see you taken away...

Heading for the dawn,
Of our way of life,
You're welcome to give it your best try...
Look me in the eyes, oh, wolver,
This ain't your fairy tale...

The ones who seek justice,
will pray for it all their lives...
They can and they will skin us all one day
oh can you hear them cries...
As far as the man can run from us
we're following the trail of blood...
So hunt my young ones...
The pack they have always feared is back...
