01. Plague-House Puppet Show

Music & lyrics by Ville Wallenius
Invitation to libation
Sucking all the lees to let it blow
Pushing veins like cannonade
Pulling strings in another puppet show

Think what you want that's what you'll get (that's what you'll get)
Just play the game without regrets
Strings round your wrists won't let you go, temptations of the show

Walls closing in with intense spin
One more round, oh don't lie low
Lewd minded organ grinder
Bent so out of shame with the face you know

Strings tighten, frighten, spinning still (frighten, spinning still)
Tell Mr. Grinder that's no thrill
Fulfilling your mind with a single blow

Why should you slow there?
Why should we stop the show?
Try out and go there
Take a look inside the show or you'll never know

Why should you slow there?
Why should we stop the show?
Try out and go there
Try to hesitate in my world or you'll never know

Why should you slow there?
Why should we stop the show?
Try out and go there
Invitation to my world, so don't lie low

Why should you slow there?
Why should we stop the show?
Try out and go there
Invitation to my world, so don't lie low

So don't lie low...
Think what you want that's what you'll get...

02. Into Treason

Music & lyrics by Tommi Sartanen
Enslaved To The Mind of Lubricious Thoughts
Some people think we've some kind of snots
I don't know about that

Gone To The Wall in Jester Realm
A weird place where bastards hold the helm
Then I joined the Riot Race
Follow my trace to pass the Delirium Veil
You Victim Of Deceit

I'm Into Treason, you see
Nothing can season me
To be a tamed and honoured man
Prefer to do things and deeds they try to ban

Feeling sick at the Seventh Dawn again
The reward of living on the fast lane
Gotta feed your brain

In the Fervor's Frontier At The Forge
Experience it don't praise the goddamn lords
Attend the Masked Ball Dalliance
Go on and dance and there's no Return To Innocence, no
Shine like the Diamonds Of Mankind

I'm Into Treason, you see
Nothing can season me
To be a pawn of common way
And that's why I have to pay

The price for freedom
Still there's no reason
To be a tamed and honoured man
Prefer to do things and deeds they try to ban

I'm Into Treason, you see
Nothing can season me
To be a pawn of common way
And that's why I have to pay

The price for freedom
Still there's no reason
To be a tamed and honoured man
Prefer to do things and deeds they try to ban

03. The Fiend

Music & lyrics by Ville Wallenius
Heard that sound again with same reaction
Too many people watching from below

Couldn't help himself from bending
Wouldn't care even think defending
Easy way to lose and let it go

Took a breath, but couldn't lose that impression
Apprehension sat in him to stay

"Master, leave me be, I'm crawling
You would love to see me falling!"
Falling in a flat spin...

Try to rape me with lies
I'll never be your fiend
Spinning the dice of what I feel
I just hate this disguise
I'm not your fetter fiend
There's just too much that you haven't seen

Hanging on by a thread or narrow grinning (end of spinning)
Made his way down from the 14th floor

Had found his lady in heat
Dancing in devil's sheets
So much to say, oh let the lackey pray

Try to rape me with lies
I'll never be your fiend
Spinning the dice of what I feel
I just hate this disguise
I'm not your fetter fiend
There's just too much that you haven't seen

Anything you ever said
The hate you breed, the love you spread
Pushing down onto the ground his head
With fury, so they said

Everything around this blunder
The pantaloon lies six feet under
Anything you ever said
Your thoughts I couldn't read...

04. Victim Of Deceit

Music & lyrics by Tommi Sartanen
Couldn't have fallen higher
You left a lewd desire
Shot down from the sky like a hunted bird
Pressure of circumstance
You have been taking chances
Now it's going to wrack
There's a knife stabbed in you back

You're the victim of deceit
It's all been covered nice and neat
To make it all fall down on you like pouring rain
You're the wounded and the clown
The target for contemtuous frowns
Like you're the only one, redeemer of the stain

The power of denial
Overruled by betrayal
Take the blame like it's what you deserve
And when the trial had ended
Justice was done splendid
Jeers and hoots for you
They're too dumb to see, it's the right thing that you do

You're the victim of deceit
It's all been covered nice and neat
To make it all fall down on you like pouring rain
You're the wounded and the clown
The target for contemtuous frowns
Like you're the only one, redeemer of the stain

Why not to grab the bait when it's at hand?
Who the hell is to tell you that you can't?
It's easy if you feel no shame and don't believe in hell
I can tell...

You're the victim of deceit
It's all been covered nice and neat
To make it all fall down on you like pouring rain
You're the wounded and the clown
The target for contemtuous frowns
Like you're the only one, redeemer of the stain

05. Painting The Blue Eyes

Music & lyrics by Ville Wallenius
I was led a blind man through delusions
Fed by my shallow strength of sense
Within the confines of confusions
I cannot tell my real means from pretence

You were led in to the dreams of these illusions
Fed with loneliness ways of pain

So, who the hell am I to tell you
How to walk your way when I cannot find my own lucidity
And who the hell am I to yell
Before my own transgression

Like feining in disguise
Descending senses or pretending, I used to have much more than this
Painting the blue eyes
Within delusions, they'll never leave me be

And if I paint my eyes with lies
Please rip 'em off and you'll see
Disguise will fail in daylight
And if you eat my feckless lies
Just throw'em up before me...

Like feining in disguise
Descending senses or pretending, I used to have much more than this
Painting the blue eyes
Within delusions, they'll never leave me be

Like feining in disguise
Descending senses or pretending, I used to have much more than this
Painting the blue eyes
Within delusions, they'll never leave me be

So, who the hell am I to tell you
How to walk your way when I cannot find my own lucidity
Oh please, I'm on my knees to tell you
What we could have been, but never show me sympathy

06. In The Fervor's Frontier

Music & lyrics by Ville Wallenius
All sympathetic eyes
The looks that seem to stray
Watching round this guise
Starting to decay

I never knew there's someone
Who'd make me understand
I can't believe what's done
My outrageous brand

So tell me why I can't find
The way inside your mind
This shallowness around us
Is making me blind

Tacit creeping on my back
The echo's getting drastic
Sarcastic firebrand in you

Cause I can see what you do
In the fervor's frontier with you
Never thought I'd lapse in to
Oh, the pitfall of my own

No sympathetic eyes
Much closer to the bone
Silence feeds my anger
Surrounded, but alone

The frontier seems too wide
I've lost it all with hate
When passion dried to anger
Didn't mean to desecrate

Tacit creeping on my back
The echo's getting drastic
Sarcastic firebrand in you

Cause I can see what you do
In the fervor's frontier with you
Never thought I'd lapse in to
Oh, the pitfall of my own

Tacit creeping on my back
The echo's getting drastic
Sarcastic firebrand in you

Cause I can see what you do
In the fervor's frontier with you
Never thought I'd lapse in to
Oh, the pitfall of my own

07. Fever Pitch

Music & lyrics by Ville Wallenius
Random shots, you talk in hate
Apathy in your brain
Aggression all so vain

Lose your cool and innovate
Blind man's heroin they sell
Testosterone, I think

Your insular gate
Of insubstantial faith
Inordinate grate in your...

...brain
Fermentation insane
Knelt before your lord, he makes you feign
So lose you cool
You're just another fool of your fever pitch

Boasting the scores you made last night
Just couldn't get it up
All alone in the tub

And she was no Jenna J.
I think you were with your friends
Sharing DNA

Your insular gate
Of insubstantial faith
Inordinate grate in your...

...brain
Fermentation insane
Knelt before your lord, he makes you feign
So lose you cool
You're just another fool of your fever pitch

...brain
Fermentation insane
Knelt before your lord, he makes you feign
So lose you cool
You're just another fool of your fever pitch

So go insane!
I just couldn't careless what you gain
So lose your cool
You're just another fool of your fever pitch

08. Diamonds Of Mankind

Music & lyrics by Tommi Sartanen
Flashing light-display revolves with easy pace
To illustrate the miner's way
Digging deep within an unbounded maze
To find the reason for their daze

As the effect kicks in
The view around you starts to spin...

Revolution never seen before
Stood up against the world
They had had enough and took no more
A new way in their mind

This insane authority must fall
Resign the system's force
They were the people that I'd call
The diamonds of mankind

I would preach in the name of free love
If there was someone listening to me
Why all those nice things had to flee?

Cherish life with no restrictions
Inhale the spirit of freedom
And all the worries will be gone

It's the...

Revolution never seen before
Stood up against the world
They had had enough and took no more
A new way in their mind

This insane authority must fall
Resign the system's force
They were the people that I'd call
The diamonds of mankind

Revolution never seen before
Stood up against the world
They had had enough and took no more
A new way in their mind

This insane authority must fall
Resign the system's force
They were the people that I'd call
The diamonds of mankind

09. Riot Race

Music & lyrics by Ville Wallenius
Split open face
Another race for vengeance
For 80 seconds on TV
"Just what he needs
Probably on PCP!"
Four clowns in uniform I see

Let arsonists dance, rage surrounded
Don't need a peephole to your brain

I see your fools
The tools of hypocrites
Worshipped, but ruled
I know your face
So watch the riot race
Ripped up and fooled

No need to create
Brains used in venting hate
Did you just get what you deserved?
A shot to my head
Brutalized by a local fed
Corrupted mind bleeding so white

Watch arsonists rage behind your bow tie
Killing your time in shemale sites

I see your fools
The tools of hypocrites
Worshipped, but ruled
I know your face
So watch the riot race
Ripped up and fooled

I see your fools
The tools of hypocrites
Worshipped, but ruled
I know your face
So watch the riot race
Ripped up and fooled

Blindfold yourself and follow
There's too much pride to swallow
When you wallow in your lies
Hide your bluntness in laughter
Aggression growing after
Senseless adoration of your kind

I see your fools
The tools of hypocrites
Worshipped, but ruled
I know your face
So watch the riot race
Ripped up and fooled

10. Lubricious Thoughts

Music & lyrics by Ville Wallenius
Let your mind drift beyond this show
Flowing thoughts below
A grinning face pointing out the place
You want to go

"Hold on! No lubricious thoughts"
He said with a nice and gentle smile
"Come on! Would you like to know
How far this could go?"

Fettered by these lewd means
Fantasy or belief?

What lights up the feeling so bold
Why should I hide away with my soul already sold?
And all this concealing unfolds
When you lubricate your mind with dripping gold

Go on! The heat is on
A madman behind his trigger
A ripped mind, naked to the bone
She was left there alone

Fettered by these lewd means
Fantasy or belief?

What lights up the feeling so bold
Why should I hide away with my soul already sold?
And all this concealing unfolds
When you lubricate your mind with dripping gold

What lights up the feeling so bold
Why should I hide away with my soul already sold?
And all this concealing unfolds
When you lubricate your mind with dripping gold

11. Goddess Of Fortune

Music & lyrics by Tommi Sartanen
Delusions from the past
They are meant to last forever
To haunt the generations
Watch out and be aware
There's danger everywhere, don't take a glance
Even if it's the only chance

To look around where flowers bloom
Ignore the mountebank's assume

Take all that brings fun
Growing underneath the sun
Fake all facts about the trace to our resort
Take all that you will
If you need to feel the thrill
Fake facts about the bringer of our comfort

Show me where's the gate
And tell me it's too late for turning back
But I have seen it all before
I've been there many times
I tell you there're no signs keeping you there
Just take your time and you will dare

To look around where flowers bloom
Ignore the mountebank's assume

Tim & Hugh & Calvin, I like to hang around with them
When the sun is shining, we are having lot's of fun again
Now their mom is calling, the dinner's served at 4.20
And that goes fine with us cause we are getting hungry already
...And she's smiling so pretty

She is the goddess of fortune (The bringer of our comfort)
She spawns the egg which is to take us to our resort
She is the goddess of fortune (Galaxies spin above her)
Higher than you've ever been...

12. Wind-up Toy

Music & lyrics by Alice Cooper
Voices come from down the hall
In my room all painted white
I have my bat and rubber ball
I like to sleep with them at night

But now I'm all smiles
The good little shots must be winning
Yes, they crank my dial
My motor is stalled but my wheels are still spinning

Daddy won't discuss me
What a state I must be
Mommy couldn't stand
Living with a wind-up toy

All my friends live on the floor
Tiny legs and tiny eyes
They're free to crawl under the door
And someday soon so will I

But now I'm all smiles
These good little shots must be working
I'm so happy now (I'm so happy)
Look, my fingers don't shake and my head isn't jerking

Daddy won't discuss me
What a pain I must be
Mommy couldn't stand
Having such a wound-up boy

Doctors want to check me
Poke me and dissect me
What do they expect?
Feelings from a wound-up toy?

I don't think so
I'm just a wound-up toy
Wind-up toy

I'm lost in a nightmare
Shiny white hall drawing rats on the wall
Solitary confinement
Chained in a cell, got my own private hell

Preacher crucifies me
Warden wants to fry me
I was never young
Never just a little boy

Daddy won't discuss me
What a pain I must be
Mommy couldn't stand
Having such a wound-up boy

I'm just a wind-up toy
Wind-up toy
I'm just a wind-up toy
Wind-up, wind-up...
I'm just a wind-up toy
Wind-up toy

(Daddy won't discuss me)
I'm just a wind-up...
(What a pain I must be)
Just a wind-up...
(Mommy couldn't stand
Having such a wound-up boy)

Daddy won't discuss me
What a pain I must be
Mommy couldn't stand
Having such a wound-up boy...
