Tracks



01. Desert Rose

Music by J-P Leppäluoto, Heidi Parviainen
Lyrics by Heidi Parviainen
[Dragon:] I'm a viper
[Dark Sarah:] Your poison is in my veins
[Both:] But now I'm wiser
I'm free from the chains.

In the midst of the night the rusty wings are burning
They bring the bearer of the light
The desert rose is returning

In the midst of the night the rusty wings are burning
They bring the bearer of the light
The desert rose is returning

02. Trespasser

Music by Heidi Parviainen, Perttu Vänskä, Mikko Mustonen
Lyrics by Heidi Parviainen
[Dark Sarah:]
Who are you, what do you follow me for?
You've shared my dream for years, that is real
What you've left behind I know you can't find
Leave me alone this path is my own

[Dragon:]
I come alone, I come alone in peace, my dear
But you opened the door for me to seek more
Now I've come here to find what's mine

[Dark Sarah:] Stay
[Dragon:] You'll see we share the pain right here
[Dark Sarah:] The heat is here to stay, it burns our way
[Dragon:] I've come to guide us out of here

[Dark Sarah:] Why you're here it is hard to see
I think what you need is something from me
[Dragon:] But there's nowhere to run under the ardent sun
[Both:] You need me like I need you

[Both:]
Stay
The heat is here to stay, it burns our way
Stay
The heat is here to stay, it burns our way

[Both:] And I feel alive with you, how strange and new for me!
[Dragon:] For years I kept inside the darkness I know too well but now there's light!
[Dark Sarah:] Don't you play with me, don't lie!

[Both:]
Stay
The heat is here to stay, it burns our way

[Both:] Stay...
[Dragon:] You'll see we share the pain right here
[Both:] The heat is here to stay, it burns our way
[Dragon:] I've come to guide us out from here

[Both:] Stay...
[Dragon:] You'll see we share the pain right here
[Both:] The heat is here to stay, it burns our way
[Dragon:] I've come to guide us out from here

03. Wheel

Music by Heidi Parviainen, Mikko Mustonen
Lyrics by Heidi Parviainen
[Dark Sarah:] The wheels are burning
The world is turning
[Dragon:] We keep on driving
Despite the warnings

[Both:]
Hold on tight
This frantic ride will lead us right towards
Our fight!

Take a bow for yesterday
That led us to today
Take a bow for yesterday
And dream away!
Take a bow for yesterday
Where we were left to stray
Take a bow for yesterday!

The wind flirts with my hair
We speed as lightning flare
I feel fire in my blood
The stream is burning hot

The wheels are burning
Streaming and howling!

Take a bow for yesterday
That led us to today
Take a bow for yesterday
And dream away!
Take a bow for yesterday
Where we were left to stray
Take a bow for yesterday!

[Dragon:]
The desert rose is back
The gods will pay back!
I will help you with your task and all that you ask
[Dark Sarah:] Aaaah!

Take a bow for yesterday
That led us to today
Take a bow for yesterday
And dream away!
Take a bow for yesterday
Where we were left to stray
Take a bow for yesterday!

Take a bow for yesterday
Where we were left to stray
Take a bow for yesterday!

04. My Beautiful Enemy

Music by Heidi Parviainen, Mikko Mustonen
Lyrics by Heidi Parviainen
My beautiful enemy

[Dark Sarah:]
Against all odds we're here
Two souls in despair
I'm going to trust in you although I may be a fool
I'm going to trust in you, alone in this world we're both as doomed

In the wilderness
Out path is beaming
There you will find me now
There, you will find me

[Dragon:]
Many year have passed
I found this place at last
I promise you now I do
I do trust in you
I promise you
Belive now that it's true
Our fates lie in the hands of us two

In the wilderness
Out path is beaming
There you will find me now
There, you will find me

My beautiful enemy trust in me
Endlessly until we're free
And we'll meet all the demons we seek
And who seek us

I want to stay awake
When the night is freezing
To know I'm not the only one in this world who's breathing

My beautiful enemy
Trust in me

05. I Once Had Wings

Music by J-P Leppäluoto, Mikko Mustonen
Lyrics by Heidi Parviainen
I Once Had Wings

[Dragon:]
I once had wings and held a godly string
Among these kings, but oh how did I sin?
I fell from grace and became the one displaced

What happened next I did not expect

They punished me for my sins, burned my wings
You see the scars?
Once they had stolen my wings
I left the king to live in the dark

[Dark Sarah:]
Let history just tell its tales
Your scars will fade
Another day will break

We all have made a few mistakes
But you have paid them back
With your heartache today

Lost everything just for a small flin
I had nothing and welcomed death to bring
Bring me some guidance I got back my highness
And in the silence I moved to the world's end

I could see all the stars, all the time, cause it was dark
One part of me died when I couldn't fly and then I left the sky

[Both:]
Let history just tell its tales
Your scars will fade
Another day will break

We all have made a few mistakes
But you have paid them back
With your heartache

I am here
Cause I want it all what was taken away from me
I want it all and more!
I know there's a hidden door
I've seen it once before
There lies everything that used to be
All we need is to use your key
I just can't wait to hold it once more

[Both:]
Let history just tell its tales
Your scars will fade
Another day will break

We all have made a few mistakes
But you have paid them back
With your heartache

Your scars will fade!
With your heartache!
Your scars will fade!

06. Pirates

Music by Heidi Parviainen, Mikko Mustonen
Lyrics by Heidi Parviainen
[Dragon:]
Quickly now into the shadows, we should not make a sound.
The village swarms with people who guard their desert town.
I know there hides a vessel that can fly above the ground.

[Dark Sarah:] You think they've seen us?
[Dragon:] No, but they will hear us if you keep on talking.
[Dark Sarah:] It is you who keeps on talking here...
[Dragon:] Grr?.you can be so annoying?

[Dark Sarah:]
Wait a while, someone's coming, you think they've seen us here?
We're thieves in the desert of gods, they're everywhere.
Let's board the ship in darkness and hope that no one hears.

[Dark Sarah:] Towards the sky! We're passing by!
This is not real, It is surreal!
[Dragon:] Towards The sky this ship can fly.
[Dark Sarah:] I did not believe.

[Both:]
Sail ahead, the winds are mild, oh fly oh fly the ark just might
Take us right to where there is light, take us, the stars our guide!

[Dragon:] This time it is not our fight...
[Dark Sarah:] ...But no longer we can hide

[Both:] My mind's now playing tricks on me,
I think we're not alone.
There's an army of dead men near, their hearts are still as stone.
They're searching for something to release them from their loan.

[Dragon:]
It's the key?it's the key? it waits for me...

[Both:]
Sail ahead, the winds are mild, oh fly oh fly the ark just might
Take us right to where there is light, take us, the stars our guide!

[Dark Sarah:] We're here to fight for our way!
Both: For our way through The Gate!
[Ghosts:] Death to The mortal! Death to The mortal!

Dragon: For all this time, I will fight, I will fight, I will fight!
[Dark Sarah:] For all these times we all should fight
We all should Fight against the lie!
[Both:] For you I'll fight, you saved my life!
[Ghosts:] We will Fight, we will Fight!
[Both:] We'll make it right what changed our lives!
[Ghosts:] We will fight for what is right!

[Both:] Sail ahead, the winds are mild, oh fly oh fly the ark just might
Take us right to where there is light, take us, the stars our guide!

[Both:] For you I'll Fight, You saved my life!
[Ghosts:] "We will Fight, we will Fight "
[Both:] We'll make it right What changed our lives!
[Ghosts:] "We will fight for What is right!"

[Both:] Sail ahead, The winds are mild, oh fly oh fly The ark just might
Take us right to where There is light, Take us, The stars our guide!

07. Sky Sailing

Music by Heidi Parviainen, J-P Leppäluoto, Mikko Mustonen
Lyrics by Heidi Parviainen
[Dark Sarah:]
The pale ghosts as our hosts are gone
And the journey's begun
To the sun!
We keep our thoughts in the clouds and fly
Beneath the sky,
We made this right!

[Dragon:]
You will find it's a new day!
And You, you will find it's a new day!

[Dark Sarah & Dragon:]
The clouds move fast
We are sky sailing
Our ship is flying like a storm!
Gods, look at our cast
We are sky sailing
The fury of the sky is born!

[Dark Sarah & Dragon:]
The golden dunes look unreal from here
We are sailing high
To the sky!
The treasure, the city of gods is there
Above the stars
And we've come from afar

You will find it's a new day!
And you will find it's a new day!

The clouds move fast
We are sky sailing
Our ship is flying like a storm!
Gods, look at our cast
We are sky sailing
The fury of the sky is born!

[Dragon:]
So many of my few smiles begin with you
You're one of a kind...
[Dark Sarah:]
...So many of my few happy days I've shared with you
I love how you're so...
[Dark Sarah & Dragon:]
...Dark
Are our hearts and who knows if we have met
There somewhere some other time when we were different in
So many ways

The clouds move so fast
We are sky sailing
Our ship is flying like a storm!
Gods, look at our cast
We are sky sailing
The fury of the sky is born!

08. Wish

Music by Heidi Parviainen, Mikko Mustonen
Lyrics by Heidi Parviainen
[Dark Sarah:]
Look how far we are
I can almost catch a star
I think they look different
When seen from a distance

[Dragon:]
Everything here is so familiar
It almost hurts
But do you know what is worse?
I'm stuck on this lousy ship

[Dark Sarah:] Come here and see how high we are now!
[Dragon:] I know, I'd rather stay where I am now

[Dark Sarah:] Are you afraid of the heights?
[Dragon:] I'm not
[Dark Sarah:] You're afraid of the heights!
[Dragon:] I'm not. You know that once I did fly!

[Dark Sarah:] You and I will now fly
The moon shines so bright
[Dark Sarah & Dragon:] From darkness we both will climb
Reach higher and higher!

[Dark Sarah:] Look dragon, no hands!
[Dragon:] You're such a show off

[Dark Sarah & Dragon:]
Here two castaways
That's us, drift along
The milky way
They're hoping that someday
All of their dreams will come true

[Dark Sarah:]
I wish, I wish upon a star that my
Heart will be found there where you are...

[Dark Sarah & Dragon:]
We're going to the hills
Where the dreams will be real
The gods will see we have the key!

[Dark Sarah & Dragon:]
You and I will now fly
The moon shines so bright
From darkness we both will climb
Reach higher and higher!

You and I may find, find
You and I, with you I'll find
Finally peace of mind

09. Gods Speak

Music by Heidi Parviainen, Mikko Mustonen
Lyrics by Heidi Parviainen
[feat. Marco Hietala, Zuberoa Aznárez]

[Dark Sarah:]
I made it here
The gods they are arriving
Look there
They're like angels with halos!
How strange
They're fierce with their white spears
You know, they're not welcoming me nor you

[Dragon:]
The world is ours
I've redeemed my sins
But I'm not welcome here not anymore?

[Iron Mask:]
The more you try
The more we fight
To keep you there, where you belong the underworld

[White Beard:]
The world was ours!
You've returned to us
But you're not welcome here it's not your home!

[Dark Sarah:]
Home, I am here to find my way back home!
[The Gods:]
But you're not welcome here! Not anymore!

[Dark Sarah & Dragon:]
I, I've tried to find a way
To reach the skies
But today
I know
The gods don't hear
There be will be no tomorrow

[Iron Mask:]
I see, you walk now with the mortals
It's sad she will pay this with her life

[White Beard:]
We burned your wings for a reason
And now you bring a mortal here!

[Dragon:]
I did not bring here to you
You see
She has her own reason to be here!

[Dark Sarah:]
Here in my hands I have the keys to you
So please now let me pass the gate of time

[Dark Sarah & Dragon:]
I, I've tried to find a way
To reach the skies
But today
I know
The gods don't hear
There be will be no tomorrow

[The Gods:]
Hear now
We won't change the plan
The universe has spoken
Can't you hear
Now it's racing
The storm is coming closer!
Raging for the world
The order
The white spears ask for blood!

[Dark Sarah & Dragon:]
I, I've tried to find a way
To reach the skies but today
I know the gods don't hear
There wil be no tomorrow

[The Gods:]
(Tomorrow) It all ends here time runs out
(Tomorrow) So see how life disappears
(Tomorrow) From her and fate is drear.

10. Promise

Music by Heidi Parviainen, Mikko Mustonen
Lyrics by Heidi Parviainen
[Dark Sarah:] You promised to help me
[Dragon:] I have no kindness in me
[Dark Sarah:] But you promised, you promised

[Dragon:]
In the end, we are all on our own
[Dark Sarah:]
And I thought the word 'promise' would at least mean something!
Watch me leave now to meet my fate
'Cause in my death there's more kindness!

[Dark Sarah:] Promise me you'll spare a thought for me...
[Dragon:] Promises are not made for me.
[Dark Sarah:] When dreaming the darkest dreams you hold the key.
[Dragon:] I don't know
[Dark Sarah:] Think of me through your eternity
I'll be the darkest star
The only star that you can see

[Dragon:] I watch you leave now, it's the end
[Dark Sarah:] It was close, but here my days end
In the afterlife I'll have my vengeance
[Dragon:] Into my world there's no entrance
[Dark Sarah:] But you promised, you promised!
[Dragon:] I really have no kindness!

[Dark Sarah:] Promise me you'll spare a thought for me
[Dragon:] Promises are not made for me
[Dark Sarah:] When dreaming the darkest dreams you hold the key
[Dragon:] I don't know
[Dark Sarah:] Think of me through your eternity
[Dragon:] Promises are not made for me.
[Dark Sarah:] I'll be the darkest star
The only star that you can see

[Dark Sarah:]
I'll become a ghost in your town
That no one knows and no one hears but you alone
I promise to haunt you wherever you go
I promise to watch you, you'll never be alone
I promise to haunt you
(I promise to haunt you
I promise to watch you)
I promise to watch you
(I promise to watch you)

[Dark Sarah:] Promise me you'll spare a thought for me
[Dragon:] Promises are not made for me.
[Dark Sarah:] When dreaming the darkest dreams you hold the key
[Dragon:] I don't know
[Dark Sarah:] Think of me through your eternity
[Dragon:] Promises are not made for me.
[Dark Sarah:] I'll be the darkest star,
The only star that you can see

11. Golden Moth

Music by Heidi Parviainen, Mikko Mustonen
Lyrics by Heidi Parviainen
[Dark Sarah:]
Hi, is it you? I have to go
I know I have to, I have to go
I felt inside me that you would leave me

I have to go

Is it you, is it you?
I'm cold, I'm cold
Is it you, is it you?
I'm cold, I'm cold

Where have you been? I've been alone
There's so much darkness, I thought you were gone
But here I am now with you and your mind
I thought you were gone

Is it you, is it you?
I'm cold, I'm cold
Is it you, is it you?
I'm cold, I'm cold

[Dragon:]
Like a ghost
From its host
The golden moth flies from the innermost
Where has it gone?
Towards the sun, dropped her wings one by one!

Is it you, oh is it you?
I'm cold, I'm cold
Is it you, oh is it you?
I'm cold!

(Is it you, is it you?
I'm cold, I'm cold
Is it you, is it you?
I'm cold, I'm cold)

12. The Gate Of Time

Music & lyrics by Mikko Mustonen
[Dragon:]
Then slowly like a Ghost -
The moth flies from the innermost -
Into the blackest -
And flees from its host.
Where has it gone?
It flew towards the sun -
When it was the coldest
- And behold -
It was the most golden moth
Time ever has done.
