01. Grail Of Sahara

There's a story about this land
Dynes that keep the secret in the sand
Bowl from ancient history
Hiding an eternal mystery

And truth lies somewhere in the desert's secrecy

In wind I hear the whispering
The greatest treasure there has ever been
So far like a glory shining star
A tale about the Grail of Sahara

Old oasis up the hill
Fountain's water dreary standing still
Chest of victory and death
Hidden in oasis' holy bed

And truth is buried in the desert's secrecy

In wind I hear the whispering
The greatest treasure there has ever been
So far like a glory shining star
A tale about the Grail of Sahara

In wind I hear the whispering
The greatest treasure there has ever been
So far like a glory shining star
A tale about the Grail of Sahara

02. Forgotten Bride

This is for the heavy-hearted
Those who've left their love behind
And who have seen
Those who know how pain can be
Sorrow that can't be unwind
Despair of the whole mankind
This love's killing me

He's gone fighting for his homeland
Far away across the sea
Desert and sand
Once I stood beside my man
We had all eternity
Tell me why he had to leave

This is the heart your love left yearning, soul that burning died
These are the eyes that still are crying, tears I'm trying to hide
I'm his forgotten bride

Years have passed and wars are outdone
Men came home and wounds were healed
Except for one
My dear love is yet to come
Destiny's thus can't be sealed
Fighting my own battlefield

This is the heart your love left yearning, soul that burning died
These are the eyes that still are crying, tears I'm trying to hide
I'm his forgotten bride

Once hand in hand
There I stood beside my man
We had all eternity
Tell me why he had to leave

This is the heart your love left yearning, soul that burning died
These are the eyes that still are crying, tears I'm trying to hide
Forgotten bride

These are the eyes that still are crying, tears I'm trying to hide
I'm his forgotten bride

03. Beast Within

Two eyes lurk in the darkness
Can you see, can you see that creature
Fallen from the greace

Once joyed that feline too
But lingering and the pain came along you
Light left no trace

The kindness that you lack
Can turn pure heart into black

Beast within
Under skin
I'm denaying
What was before
Exists no more
When beauty became the

Beast within
Under skin
Say goodbye to
That beauty
Who once was me
When beauty became the beast

Irritated near the madness
What I see, I can see a reaction
Drawn on your face

You drove me edge of sadness
To that point, to the end of reason
End of the day

The kindness that you lack
Can turn pure heart into black

Beast within
Under skin
I'm denaying
What was before
Exists no more
When beauty became the

Beast within
Under skin
Say goodbye to
That beauty
Who once was me
When beauty became the beast

Beast within
Under skin
I'm denaying
What was before
Exists no more
When beauty became the

Beast within
Under skin
Say goodbye to
That beauty
Who once was me
When beauty became the beast

04. Fade To Gray

There you close the door
I've never lost someone before
As clouds always lead to rain
Tears come with the pain

We don't share the bed
And sorry's the only word unsaid
So how can we know at all
What's behind the wall

There's so much unspoken
And silence unbroken

We fade to gray
We fall down and drift away
And silence's the loneliest word
I've heard
We decay to a shade

Love has left this home
We are together but alone
Thought you would know my heart
But we're so apart

Have faith in me
Like children who doubtlessly believe
As clouds always lead to rain
Tears can ease the pain

There's so much unspoken
And silence unbroken

And we fade to gray
We fall down and drift away
And silence's the loneliest word
I've heard
We decay to a shade

And we fade to gray
We fall down and drift away
And silence's the loneliest word
I've heard
We decay to a shade

We never talk
We never speak
Don't recognize that feelings
And buried so deep

And we fade to gray
We fall down and drift away
And silence's the loneliest word
I've heard
We decay to a shade

And we fade to gray
We fall down and drift away
And silence's the loneliest word
I've heard
We decay to a shade

05. Swear

I have tried to find out
Who is she
The girl in the crowd
The rest call me
By my own name

She has been lost and then found
And I just pray
There will be a ground
To stand one day
Before it's too late

Swear on your love
Your life won't go waste
You will find your place
And
Swear on your love
If you have one desire
You do it before you
Die

She hasn't always done
For what is right
But who am I to judge and pull the line
On her own game

It may sometimes be
Too hard to keep
On my dreams and try to seek
That girl inside me

Swear on your love
Your life won't go waste
You will find your place
And
Swear on your love
If you have one desire
You do it before you
Die

Swear on your love
Your life won't go waste
You will find your place
And
Swear on your love
If you have one desire
You do it before you

Swear on your love
Your life won't go waste
You will find your place
And
Swear on your love
If you have one desire
You do it before you
Die

06. Promise Me Everything

For every fallen tear there is a broken dream
After every wasted day there comes the night
As the truth becomes a lie I loose the last sunbeam
And the second wrong makes me feel I'm right

The more I climb to reach the sky, the more I fall
An I feel like I'm best at ruining my own life
When I'm down and out and standing back against the wall
Then please come to me, make it all alright

Promise me everything
Give my heart this lie
Words to believe in
Don't let me die

Promise me love and more
As if it was true
Something to fight for
Promise it's you

Although I am lost and fallen from the grace
There's a flame of hope lit somewhere in the dark
As a lie becomes the truth maybe I'll find a place
Where you come to me and take me to your heart

Promise me everything
Give my heart this lie
Words to believe in
Don't let me die

Promise me love and more
As if it was true
Something to fight for
Promise it's you

Promise me everything
Give my heart this lie
Words to believe in
Don't let me die

Promise me love and more
As if it was true
Something to fight for
Promise it's you

07. Mystery

Look into his eyes and see
How humble in love he can be
Any given day he's gone
Although you thought you were one

Was it all a lie of hearts and blind eyes
Illusion of a timeless dream that dies

Mystery
No way to understand the world we live in
There's that mystery
In every heart and every soul that's breathing
Soul that's breathing

How can I tell it's true
If love is so charmingly cruel
He would say he'd die for me
But am I supposed to believe

Is it all a lie of hearts and blind eyes
Illusion of a timeless dream that dies

Mystery
No way to understand the world we live in
There's that mystery
In every heart and every soul that's breathing
Soul that's breathing

There's that mystery
There's that mystery
In every heart and every soul that's breathing
Soul that's breathing

08. Flow

See the hearts that deeply woe
On the banks of Nile they watch their loved ones being washed away

Path of life as we all know
Isn't wide enough for all of us to walk through the day

Flow with the flood of Nile
Hear the cry of deep waters
Go to the distant isle
Where the sunset glows

Flow with the flood of Nile
Leave your sons and dear daughters
They will still stay awhile
While the river flows
While the river flows

Sorrow's sister human joy
Shall not bring the tears of laughter in our eyes today

Ferryman's grave load on joy
And we lay to rest our loved ones in this mournful way

Flow with the flood of Nile
Hear the cry of deep waters
Go to the distant isle
Where the sunset glows

Flow with the flood of Nile
Leave your sons and dear daughters
They will still stay awhile
While the river flows
While the river flows

Flow with the flood of Nile
Hear the cry of deep waters
Go to the distant isle
Where the sunset glows

Flow with the flood of Nile
Leave your sons and dear daughters
They will still stay awhile
While the river flows
While the river flows

09. Scars In My Heart

Wish I had a soul more free than a butterfly
But I am too weak to try
It's over now
All but the crying part
You make me fall apart
Take me down

Wish I had a heart more hard than the hardest stone
Cause now I must walk alone
It's over now
You say that no one dies
Then shoot between my eyes
Take me down

You made all the scars in my heart
Cuts in me, all those wounds so deep
Wish they'd make me strong
Give me more strengh to carry on
Walk the door; be gone

Wish I had a dream more pure than reality
Somewhere up ahead for me
It's over now
All but the falling stars
Wish time would heal the scars
Somehow

You made all the scars in my heart
Cuts in me, all those wounds so deep
Wish they'd make me strong
Give me more strengh to carry on
Walk the door; be gone

You made all the scars in my heart
Cuts in me, all those wounds so deep
Wish they'd make me strong
Give me more strengh to carry on
Be gone

You made all the scars in my heart
Cuts in me, all those wounds so deep
Wish they'd make me strong
Give me more strengh to carry on
Walk the door; be gone

10. Storm Rider

Hide behind the shadows of the night
In no light

She's riding
With whirlwind
And with the angels
She's crying
Betrayal has poisoned her heart

Hide before the good and bad collide
In no time

She lives in
Cloudbursting
And with that anger
She's striking
Betrayal has torn her apart

And when the time has come she rides the storm
Like wind she howls for all betrayed, deceived and born
And with the rain she comes and rides the storm
For there's no love no more, she makes the great rain fall

Hide 'cause all the nature's on her side
This drak night

She comes in
Storm riding
And with the angels
She's crying
Betrayal has poisoned her heart

And when the time has come she rides the storm
Like wind she howls for all betrayed, deceived and born
And with the rain she comes and rides the storm
For there's no love no more, she makes the great rain fall

Fall great rain
Wash away all the pain
And blow with the wind again
Cool down and mend

And when the time has come she rides the storm
Like wind she howls for all betrayed, deceived and born
She rides the storm
For there's no love no more, she makes the great rain fall

11. Mist Of Dawn

We feel it running in our blood and veins
Life withdrawn
Eternal mist of dawn
Leave, it's come time to break the chains
Today we will go all the way
And love's all that remains

Come, my love, embrace the death
Rise above the final breath
For my love, it's not in vain
Mist of dawn will take the pain

We are all walking in the sands of time
As we hear
The bells and chimes so near
See how your life can be so cruel
You fall, when you thought you had it all
Only love we had is true

Come, my love, embrace the death
Rise above the final breath
For my love, it's not in vain
Mist of dawn will take the pain

Aa-aa-aa-aa...

Come, my love, embrace the death
Rise above the final breath
For my love, it's not in vain
Mist of dawn will take the pain

12. Kuunpoika

Tarinan toi tuulet
Lauluna sen kuulet
Rukoili näin kuuta rakastunut nainen
Polte rinnassaan

Nuori tyttö tumma vain aneli
Anna mulle tumma mies mieheksi
Sen sä tulet saamaan, lupasi jo kuu
Mut ehdon asetti myös
Ensimmäisen lapsen, jonka hälle saat
Sen kuu tahtoi omakseen

Ehkä kuu tahtoi rakkautta, ehkä äidiksi vaan, millä hinnalla vaan
Rakkaus hänen luoksensa tuu
Hänet naiseksi tee, hänet naiseksi tee...
Aaa-aaa-aa pieni kuun poika

Iho valkoinen kuin kärpän selkä
Silmät jään harmaat
Isän yön mustat
Mistä olet tullut?
Isä haki veitsen
Surmaten kuoloon vaimon
Isä kantoi lapsen vuorelle sen jätti
Poikansa yksikseen

Ehkä kuu tahtoi rakkautta, ehkä äidiksi vaan, millä hinnalla vaan
Rakkaus hänen luoksensa tuu
Hänet naiseksi tee, hänet naiseksi tee...
Aaa-aaa-aa pieni kuun poika

Ehkä kuu tahtoi rakkautta, ehkä äidiksi vaan, millä hinnalla vaan
Rakkaus hänen luoksensa tuu
Hänet naiseksi tee, hänet naiseksi tee...
Aaa-aaa-aa pieni kuun poika
