Tracks



01. At The Gates Of Manala

Music by Perttu Kivilaakso, Paavo Lötjönen, Mikko Sirén, Eicca Toppinen
[Instrumental]

02. End Of Me

Music by Johnny Andrews, Gavin Rossdale, Eicca Toppinen
Rosaries left under the mattress of the memories who could bear the witness

As you slip into oblivion, use it like a weapon
Am I left to bleed waiting for the moment when you've had your fun
A loaded gun

Take away your broken misery, I can't wait to erase your memory
This love, this love is gonna be the end of me
Everything I gave is wasted, I'm the one who suffocated
This love, this love is gonna be the end of

Can't resist poisoning the message
Just a narcissist trapped inside the wreckage
And the sympathy I had is gone deadened by the ceremony
Drama queen stand behind your empire as your kingdom falls all because

Take away your broken misery, I can't wait to erase your memory
This love, this love is gonna be the end of me.
Everything I gave is wasted, I'm the one who suffocated
This love, this love is gonna be the end of me

Your rescue, my undo
I'm not the one to save you
I'm empty completely
I'm drowning in your shadow

Take away your broken misery, I can't wait to erase your memory
This love, this love is gonna be the end of me.
Everything I gave is wasted, I'm the one who suffocated
This love, this love is gonna be the end of

Can't chase away your ghost, inside it only grows
Nothing left but misery
This will be the end of me
All the shit that you created, all the scars you celebrated
Couldn't take away your pain
Couldn't resurrect your gain
This love will be the end of me, this love will be the end.

03. Not Strong Enough

Music by Diane Warren
I'm not strong enough to stay away.
Can't run from you
I just run back to you.
Like a maltha I'm drowning through your flame,
Say my name, but it's not the same.
You look in my eyes I'm stripped of my pride.
And my soul surrounders and you bring my heart to its knees.

[Chorus:]
And it's killin' me when you're away, I wouldn't leave and I wouldn't stay.
I'm so confused,So hard to choose.
Between the place I'm around the pain.
And I know it's wrong, and I know it's right.
Even if I try to win the fight, my heart would overwhelm my mind.
And I'm not strong enough to stay away

I'm not strong enough to stay away
What can I do
I would die without you
And with your presence my heart knows no shame
I'm not to blame
Cause you bring my heart to its knees

[Chorus]

There's nothing I can do
My heart is dream to you
And I can't get free
Look what this has done to me

[Chorus]

06. Broken Pieces

Music by Fiora Cutler, Guy Sigsworth, Eicca Toppinen
Too late - this is not the answer
I need to pack in
I can't pull your heart together with just my voice alone
A thousand shards of glass I came to meet you in
You cut the peace out of me

And as you ripped it all apart,
That's when I turned to watch you
And as the light went on you went dark
I saw you turn to shadow
If you would salvage some part of you that once new love
But I'm loosing this
And I'm loosing you

And oh I've gotta turn and run
From the faces that you never see
Oh I've gotta save my blood
From all you've broken
And pack up these pieces of me

It's too late now to stop the process
This was your choice - you let it in
This double life you live is eating you up from within
A thousand shards of glass you pushed beneath my skin
And left me lying here to bleed

And as you showed my your scars
I only held you closer
But as the light in you went dark I saw you turn over
I wanted always to be there for you and close to you
But I'm loosing this
And I'm loosing you

And oh I've gotta turn and run
From the faces that you never see
Oh I've gotta save my blood
From all you've broken
And pack up these pieces of me

Maybe without me
You'll return to all the beauty I once knew
But I can't stay to see how the sight of me brings that madness back to you...

These broken pieces of me
These broken pieces of me

And oh I've gotta turn and run
From the faces that you never see
Oh I've gotta save my blood
From all you've broken
And pack up these pieces of me

07. On The Roaf Top With Quasimodo

Music by Mikko Sirén
[Instrumental]

08. Bring Them To Light

Music by Joe Duplantier, Mikko Sirén, Eicca Toppinen
He's a large and ugly giant monster, headless on my back
This urgent haste in my head
Materialized in this dark whole world
No one can help me there
I know this pain has gone too far
The fear is now so loud

Kill a child I'm trying to protect myself
Against your old controlled hate
Pollution of mind filled all the space and destroyed my light
At least mine were never allowed

The hardest thing for me is
Facing the fear I live
No one can help me now it's under my heart

I'll come to know the living
My demons are inside
I'll bring them all to light

I wanted to hate, I wanted to die
I wanted to see you sacrifice
I had to deal with the fear you gave me
But you fucker never tried to help me
I was jealous and I was scared
Nobody ever replaced my pain
To say I'm not evil, to tell I'm not bad
Too late - I'm lost in human nature.
Leave me be
Set me free
Leave me be
Set me free

The hardest thing for me is
Facing the fear I live
No one can help me now it's under my heart

I'll come to know the living
My demons are inside
I'll bring them all to light

Unexpected yet expected,
Emerged from the dark I come to life
Take everything if you give my horse its head

You know me, your fear me, you know
The hardest thing for me is
Facing the fear I live
No one can help me now it's under my heart

I will come to know the living
My demons are inside
I'll bring them all to light
