Tracks



01. Deep Unknown

Taking a chance
Go again
To the great unknown

Facing your fears and feel
What's on your mind when you're alone

Fall into the sea
So you will be free
Into the deep
You disappear

Dive deeper into the ocean
You'll find more about your emotions
As you go far beyond imaginary borderlines
Into the deep unknown---

Need to breath, might drown
You can't inhale
No one around, sliding down
Time passes by, you can not fail

As light fades away
There's so much to gain
You're holding on
It's not in vain

Dive deeper into the ocean
You'll find more about your emotions
As you go far beyond imaginary borderlines

Dive deeper into the ocean
You'll find more about your emotions
As you go far beyond imaginary borderlines

02. Falling Star

Feel the night time growing nearer
From amidst the darkness I will start my flight
See the stars are shining clearer
Turn around before you're blinded by the light

I am made of burning flame, cast from coldest ice
There is nothing that can stop me

Now I ride above the sky, it cannot hold me back
I dive within the deepest darkest space
See I vanish in the light, you cannot find me there
No one can ever catch the falling star

Feel the heat is growing stronger
Everything that's in my way will be destroyed
See my journey's growing longer
For eternity I'm doomed within the void

I am made of burning flame, cast from coldest ice
There is nothing that can stop me

Now I ride above the sky, It cannot hold me back
I dive within the deepest darkest space
See I vanish in the light, you cannot find me there
No one can ever catch the falling star

Now I ride above the sky, It cannot hold me back
I dive within the deepest darkest space
See I vanish in the light, you cannot find me there
No one can ever catch the falling star

03. King Of Nothing

In the year before we lost our empire
We were children on the march
We were told we had to serve our empire and die
In our wake we only left destruction
Sent their children to the graves
In the year before we lost our empire and died

The war was lost but we went on
Our king was dead and in the end nobody won

We were told to march to death and glory
We were told it's for our land
In the end our tribe was left with nothing and died
In the time when all our hearts were frozen
We were soldiers for the king
In our wake we left their castles burning and died

The war was lost but we went on
And when the harvest came we found our king was gone

The war was lost but we went on
And when we paid the price we found our king was gone
The war was lost but we fought on
The war was lost and in the end nobody won

04. Blind

When you tell me that your truth
Will set me free
Don't believe you and I wish
You'd let me be
From the cradle to the grave
I feel your pain
But I'm trying to erase
You from my brain

Carry me to the shore,
Carry me, I can't stand it anymore

I am blind, but I can see you in my mind
I am blind, but I can see you
I am blind

When you say you have a way
To make me talk
I just wanna turn around
And start to walk
Can't you see, don't want
To be inside your mind
Set me free leave me be
And make me blind

Carry me to the shore,
Carry me, I can't stand it anymore

I am blind, but I can see you in my mind
I am blind, but I can see you
I am blind

I am blind, but I can see you in my mind
I am blind, but I can see you
I am blind
I am blind, but I can see you in my mind
I am blind, but I can see you
I am blind

05. Winter Skies

Walking by a frozen lake
Silent snow in the air
Dreaming of the summer day
Carry me till I'm there

Winter skies, leave me alone
When I lose my way
Winter skies you call me home
Winter skies, leave me alone
When I lose my way
Winter skies you call me home

Bring me back when I am lost
Far from your embrace
Bring me silence, bring me frost
Your familiar face

Winter skies, leave me alone
When I lose my way, northern star
You call me home

Winter skies, leave me alone
When I lose my way
Northern land
You are my home

Winter skies, leave me alone
When I lose my way
Northern land
You are my home

06. Forever Is Today

I'm dreaming awake,
My thoughts won't let me go
Feels like my mind has turned into my foe
The fear of tomorrow,
The fear of today
I'm trying to stay,
I'm trying to run away

My life is at stake,
My time is running out
Feels like I live my life in constant doubt
The fear of tomorrow,
The fear of today
I'm trying to stay,
I'm trying to run away

Each moment shall pass,
Will never return
Your fate is what you make of it
So seize your day

I will waste no more time
Leave my worries behind
I live for this moment alone
Let me tell you my friend,
All things come to an end
Forever is today
So don't delay

I will waste no more time,
Leave my worries behind
I live for this moment alone
Let me tell you my friend,
All things come to an end
Forever is today
So don't delay

07. Higher We Go

Feeling so sad and tense
Confusion on my mind
Nothing makes any sense
Things are entwined

Hopeless soul in the haze
Trying to find the way
Out of this wicked maze
To a new day

We will rise out of agony
And find a way to victory

Higher we go
Climbing up to the skies
Higher we go
A new day will arise

When all is crashing down
I know the time will heal
In this insanity
We'll find what is real

Together we are so strong
Holding our heads up high
We will carry on
'Til the day we die

We will rise out of agony
And find a way to victory

Higher we go
Climbing up to the skies
Higher we go
A new day will arise

Higher we go
Climbing up to the skies
Higher we go
A new day will arise

08. Somehow Precious

Yesterday
Seems so far away
Some projection in a dream
Sweaty sheets
I am back to reality
I walk out to my own scream

All the bad things that were said
Will not leave me be
I need to get them out of my head

What have I said?
What have I done?
Can I have another chance?
What I said late
No one has won

Give me a glance
Don't deny
That I am somehow precious to you

And today
I still feel the same
Even though you are so near
I try to talk
My lips are whispering now your name
But the words have seem to disappear

All the bad things that I said
Will not leave me be
Once again I'm all alone in my bed

What have I said?
What have I done?
Can I have another chance?
What I said late
No one has won

Give me a glance
Don't deny
That I am somehow precious to you

What have I said?
What have I done?
Can I have another chance?
What I said late
No one has won

Give me a glance
Don't deny
That I am somehow precious to you
That I am somehow precious to you

09. Emancipation Suite: I Dusk

I'm staring at the last rays of the sun,
The final night's begun
Shadows fall and hide the earth beneath them
My land has fallen deep into the hands
Of men with evil plans
Times have gone, when peace reigned over our lands

It's time to break these chains and head to freedom
It wont be long I swear to you
I will see I will be I'll be free
A new day will be dawning

Emancipation - I will break free
Determination - Just leave me be

Into the darkness I have been confined
The last one of my kind
Wayward soul still fighting to be set free

It's time to break these chains and head to freedom
It wont be long I swear to you
I will see, I will be, I'll be free
A new day will be dawning

Emancipation - I will break free
Determination - Just leave me be

10. Emancipation Suite: II Dawn

Under burning sky
Flames are rising high
Ground is turning red,
All but one is dead
Dying man his hands
Above his head

Through the ruthless night,
Fought with all his might
Made his final stand,
Made the last demand
Paid the price,
His dying time's at hand

Nothing left to feel,
Nothing left to hear
Heroes die alone

Then he sees

First light

Dawning

11. When Mountains Fall

It was just like yesterday
When you choose to leave and I to stay
It was a warm and sunny day
But my heart felt as heavy as stone

Never told me where you went
Then again I never try to ask
Now I know in life you have one chance
And you better use it well

When the mountains fall
And the oceans ?flood?
I'm still in search of you
Only thing I want to say
I'm still in love with you

Finally I found your place
Sadly I came three summers late
Now I'm see them ?by a grade?
And I sing this song for you

When the mountains fall
And the oceans
I'm still in search of you
Only thing i want to say
I'm still in love with you

One last thing
I have to say
I'm still in love with you

12. Second Sight

No one really knows
Where this man comes from
Or if he has a name

He moved from town to town
And forging his own way
Without shame he played his game

No allies and no friends
He leaves no traces bahind
There is no proof who's to blame

As the legend starts to rise
The night is filled with shadows
Blood and lies

Just like a phantom blends in the night
Making his way in the dark
He's realizing the end is near
Haunted by a curse

Second sight

Looking for more pain
Driving him insane
It's all that he is living for

Excitement in his veins
Burning every day
Fighting his internal war

As the legend starts to rise
The night is filled with shadows
Blood and lies

Second sight

Second sight

A phantom blends in the night
Making his way
Second sight
