Lead me to the bridges of isolated emotion
And we shall meet no more Into the arms of time I hasten before The final moonbeam falls No blessing for the poor Nor for the hungry ones No blessing for the ones who grieve No mercy for the suppressed ones Lonely be the latest hour The spirit sleeps in the ocean Dying star beneath the day Slowly lapsed into its grave Can you sense the shadows of crimson passing by? Lonely be the latest hour And the spirit sleeps in the ocean Soon from flesh to part Sense the passing shadows of our lives Dying star beneath the day Slowly lapsed into its grave No blessing for the poor Nor for the hungry ones No blessing for the ones who grieve No mercy for the suppressed ones Lonely be the latest hour The spirit sleeps in the ocean Dying star beneath the day Slowly lapsed into its grave Can you sense the shadows of crimson passing by? Sworn to this blackness Soon from flesh to part Sworn to this blackness Failed under the eyes of god Forsake the light Under the eyes of god Bow to none Farewell to light Lonely be the latest hour Bow to none Lonely be the latest hour The spirit sleeps in the ocean Dying star beneath the day Slowly lapsed into its grave Spirit in the ocean Star beneath the day Passing of the crimson shadows 02. The Rains Begin Music by Mårtenson Lyrics by Jussi K. Niemelä
Against the sky a silent choice
She takes me in her pulse within Beyond the deep the green voice calls Touching my skin Her touch is cold yet suddenly I feel the heat that's feeding me She rules the waves inside Alien And again Takes my hand I move myself towards her eyes She lets me in, the rains begin About to break the holy ties Strange, freezing and thin Her touch is cold yet suddenly I feel the heat that's feeding me She rules the waves inside Alien And again Takes my hand Inside the storm Madness is born Love-like Immersed by her Ocean waves burn, Love-like Closing her eyes Shutting the skies, Love-like As they reclaim their kin Her touch is cold yet suddenly I feel the heat that's feeding me She rules the waves inside Alien And again Takes my hand 03. Vintage Warlords Music & lyrics by Laine
Ghosts from the past
Two of them in flesh Sailed across the seas The ultimate invasion Cause of deprecation Storming the fields Of a hostile kingdom And absurdity In the minds of the deranged Are the laws of holiness To be re-arranged Morbid messenger of god In sonic warfare Sets the rites of immortal And a burden to bear Restless souls preventing sleep Craved by the tired eyes Forgotten ones Of the lost decade About to lose another one Forgotten ones Of the lost decade About to lose another one And all shall decay For the unholy grail Roaming fifty leagues a day Bless the corpses of the past Who rose upon the dawn In the minds of the deranged Are the laws of holiness To be re-arranged Morbid messenger of god In sonic warfare Sets the rites of immortal And a burden to bear For vintage warlords 04. As It Is Written Music by Mårtenson Lyrics by Jussi K. Niemelä
You storm the mountains
We close the gate You scream your hate You flood the fountains Summon our faith It's not too late You blind their eyes Their spiteful lies Reign Reign As it is written Maim Maim As it is written The walls are crying You bring as down We kiss your crown The waters dying You let them sleep We hear them weep Our loving god You spill their blood Reign Reign As it is written Maim Maim As it is written Like it is written Devour the moon It's all too soon The soldiers kneel The walls of steel The fading skies My bleeding eyes As it is written 05. The Dead Exiles Music & lyrics by Laine
Sheer insanity
The order of the immortal Beyond the boundaries Of human imagination Lie in thy ground In the valleys of incantation Rejoice the dreams Of the ancient Below the winds of doom The hills of desolation Listen to the whispering Of immortality Recall the nights of wonder The moaning of the moon Before the burial of the dead Sheer insanity The order of the immortal Beyond the boundaries Of human imagination Lie in thy ground In the valleys of incantation Rejoice the dreams Of the ancient The dead exiles Eternal seas to cross To the deceitful wiles Of the shores of agony Weave the woofs of death And close thine eyes eternally The heads of hollow Fleshless creatures underground Gloom of pandemonium Between the ribs they're crawling The dead exiles Eternal seas to cross To the deceitful wiles Of the shores of agony Way beyond the dream The shine of life is weakening Battered hopes and broken vows Gone with the wind Way beyond the dream The shine of life is weakening Battered hopes and broken vows Gone with the wind Way beyond the dream The shine of life is weakening Battered hopes and broken vows Gone with the wind 06. Oriental Pyre Music & lyrics by Laine
The verge of reality
Faced by the traitors of the mighty unknown Returning back from the aeons To embrace the epitomes of horror To the paradise Of forgotten souls they fall Over and over For the wonders of beyond they call And the spirits Of reality fled before the emotion Altars of illusion Lured to sacrifice the devotion Into an oriental pyre Drifting far from the ocean of your thoughts Tempted by skies so eerie In the distant horizon Awake at the final gates Grasping for the sand of time Fearing no shadow As you slumber In the hollows of dead desire To the paradise Of forgotten souls they fall Over and over For the wonders of beyond they call Into an oriental pyre Drifting far from the ocean of your thoughts Tempted by skies so eerie In the distant horizon Into an oriental pyre Drifting far from the ocean of your thoughts Tempted by skies so eerie In the distant horizon 07. White Fields Music by Tarvonen & Yli-Sirniö Lyrics by Tarvonen
On white fields the hate still rages on
Where does its endless force come from? It runs amok in great greed When flesh is weak And desire dark Hear the sighing of a bleeding world Hear the sighing of a bleeding world The howling arrows skim on white fields Hunting down the prey of night Cutting sore wounds in many shields In a dream of life there's (only) death in sight A crimson snowdrift before us A rimy forest behind Life's a prisoner of the underworld The chasing anger is gaining Its passage can't be prevented The stare of the heaven's star is cold A dimly visible horizon The northern sky ablaze A crowd of fate Roaming in the haze On the road to doom, Not victory The path of gore and frost We step upon a trail of misery The howling arrows skim on white fields Hunting down the prey of night Cutting sore wounds in many shields In a dream of life there's (only) death in sight The howling arrows skim on white fields Hunting down the prey of night Cutting sore wounds in many shields In a dream of life there's (only) death in sight 08. Where All Stories End Music & lyrics by Perttilä
This is where all stories end
Under cold and distant stars Abandoned cities shine no light Losing battle against the sky This is when all fire goes out End of lonesome winter's tales Every dream dies unfulfilled Under cold and distant stars The horizon tears open To shine its black light The horizon tears open (slowly down the ashes fall) To shine its black light See the ring of heaven (before my eyes the ashes fall) Two ends of the night In rising winds our ashes fly Seal the world in oblivion Burying a dark morning Torn by infinities Infinities As the sky distorts Hovering eye sheds no tear Weaving our light In a spaceless shape Frozen lakes and a dying sun Eye in the sky sheds no tear Consuming singularity Among cold and distant stars The horizon tears open (slowly down the ashes fall) To shine its black light I'll see through the skies (before my eyes the ashes fall) Two ends of the night 09. Martyrs Of Devotion Music & lyrics by Laine
Swayed upon the land of glitter
Stood before a pool of blood Got led astray from the aeons Lost in wintry blasts Raped the lands of virgin soil Cultivated depression Steered by the coldest breeze Of the winds of perturbation Gods of wasted time The martyrs of devotion Ruinous fragments of life Beneath a horrid net of lies Led by moral terror, Blackened blood and hollow prayers Forsaken ones Are the martyrs of devotion The martyrs of devotion Ruinous fragments of life Beneath a horrid net of lies Led by moral terror, Blackened blood and hollow prayers Forsaken ones Are the martyrs of devotion Gods of wasted time The martyrs of devotion Ruinous fragments of life Beneath a horrid net of lies Led by moral terror, Blackened blood and hollow prayers Forsaken ones Are the martyrs of devotion 10. World In Haze Music by Mårtenson Lyrics by Kotamäki
Old man walks down the road
Waves last goodbyes as he walks by One thing led to another disappointment That marked the path to his grave Sorrow piles up on your shoulders Smile of a stranger can't reduce the weight Just keeps you falling down Falling down Old man at the end of the road All his burden left behind One thing led to another disappointment That marked the path to his grave So all his shattered hopes Transparent and cold like the man old Flushed down the drain like dirt Will anyone remember? Sorrow piles up on your shoulders Smile of a stranger can't reduce the weight Just keeps you falling down Falling down When there's no one to catch you At the darkest dead of night You are fading away Fading away You can't hide all your life in haze After dawn it's gone You're torn apart If the sun in your heart Burnt your soul and died You are fading away Faded away |
