Winter's upon the northern lands,
Celestial battles ablaze The goddess of dawn, the winds of sunrise The arch in the sky leads the fallen to rest Run across the fields of snow tonight Tail held high and the sparks will fly In the night, Northern lights will illuminate the sky A part of the story, the circle of life The spirits, the remnants of time Some see their gods dance in the night Waltzing in the star dotted sky A child is conceived under the northern lights And beautiful legend is born Bringing you a message from the sun Tail held high and the sparks will fly In the night, Northern lights now illuminate the sky A part of the story, the circle of life The spirits departed, the remnants of time You see... The swaying lace above you In the sparkling air So clear the answers glow Breath them in your soul Run across the fields of snow tonight Tail held high and the sparks will fly The stories galore from the books of time When they come alive Wwith the wolves Northern lights now illuminate the sky It is a part of the story, the circle of life The future, far beyond time Hear the wolves praise the moon And the stars like a loved one Run, sing like you have always done See the message from the sun In the night, Northern lights come illuminate the sky Glow, the meaning divine of the rhymes in the snow... 02. Whirlwind
Walking by my side
She leaned her head against my shoulder Hand in hand the streets were even Soon that day was over The first day of the fall I know there was no plan for us But somehow it is easy to believe a good thing will go on Broken but alive Missing a few pieces, I know Me remedy is time But now I need a new hope to break this fall I saw you stand on the pier one night, drying tear drops in the wind Walking away in the dark, leaving everything Now you're gone and the leaves of fall are dancing in the whirlwind Like so many times The way we seem to learn is to repeat and fall again But will the falling make us stronger ? Waiting for the sun Waiting for the stars and moon Hiding in the darkness waiting, Mountain, please, come closer I am still alive Missing a few pieces, I know My remedy is time But nom I need a new hope to break this fall... I saw her stand on the peir one night, drying tear drops in the wind Walking away in the dark, leaving everything Now you're gone and the leaves of fall are dancing in the whirlwind Now she's gone, and the fallen leaves are dancing in the wind I am still alive Missing a few pieces, I know My remedy is time But nom I need a new hope to break this fall... I saw her stand on the peir one night, drying tear drops in the wind Walking away in the dark, leaving everything Now you're gone and the leaves of fall are dancing in the whirlwind I stand - in the whirlwind, life must deal me a better hand Standing tall while the leaves of fall are dancing in the whirlwind Twice upon a time, alone under the diamond skies The Whirlwind and I The fallen leaves still dance alone after the wind has gone When the Whirlwind has gone Winter's veil, the leaves are gone I see the snowflakes on the fields So slowly dancing in the whirlwind Spring, new life as winter's gone I see the new leaves on the trees Soon they are dancing with the whirlwind... 03. Cold
Standing with my back against the wall
Standing with back against the wall... it's cold Cold... Day, night, fades to dawn Now the fire breathing dragon I have nursed by my side is turning cold One night, blinding light Felt the necklace with a golden heart get cold Against the wall, against the wall, it's cold Why can't this make me warm on winter's nights Maybe your heart has stone cold gold inside Dancing with my back against the wall Dancing with my back against the wall And again Why can't you make me warm on winter's nights Maybe your heart has stone cold gold inside Unless you feel the fire deep inside A golden heart won't keep you warm at night But when the memory has a face no more And the days are getting longer When all the words unspoken die away Believe the wisdom written on the walls Maybe the road ahead is golden The white thunderbird will drive away, fly away, fly away Why can't you make me warm on winter's nights Maybe your heart has stone cold gold inside Unless you feed the fire deep inside A golden heart won't keep you warm at night Maybe your heart has stone cold gold inside 04. Storm The Armada
The spark of life had found the harbour
Sailing the void The waters rise, stom the armada of heedless souls Days prior, when the fallen signed their I Owe Yous They would gaze upon the sky to see the last day of the moon Once again they'd gone and sold what isn't theirs to sell Who's the one who goes to hell When the seas are rising, and their sales go down, go down, go down and when their sales go down They will be there to push you down Hope they never find another world Consuming what really wasn't conferred The sun will rise while the moon will fall Howling at the one that is no more Found a letter from yourself today Hoping we could all send letters to guide them, someway To save the world today... But when we kings have lost our crowns and when our thrones have burned, We all will burn until the seas rise to take us where we once belonged On that day we kill the one who has wronged We The Beast Read a letter from my future self Do not sell what isn't yours to sell anyway I hope you leave behind a better place Write the runes on the face of the moon, lest you forget Write a letter to your future self Read the one your children would like to write you one day We regret, forever, many things All apologies, we're sorry for breaking your moon Breaking your moon Killing your seas Cutting your trees Killing your bees 05. The Last Of The Lambs
Once by the stairs
Once by the door Once in the kitchen down on the floor These are the memories, the scars on my hands In silence In darkness Alone I am the symbol, your cardinal sin Ending a story before it begins You cannot speak the language, the words on your skin The symbols we have on our skins But you get the meaning now When you cry on your bed Could've loved me instead The last of the lambs have gone But you get the meaning now When you lay on your bed Hear the silence in your head The last of the lambs have gone Last of the lambs are gone... you get the meaninjg now... the last of the lambs have gone... now... When you cry on your bed Could've loved me instead The last of the lambs have gone But you get the meaning now Still awake in your bed Hear the silence in your head The last of the lambs have gone 06. Who Failed The Most
A man of his word, corrosive, like the promise, despicable
We are his pawns to lies about the gates of paradise Closing on the new, irreplaceable Behold, he's stacking his brick, like it's a wall And now the world's on fire And now the pyre draws those clouds on the sky Staining a page of history Walking the walk, killing the lights The dawn of demise You decide, who is the lord of the rings The master of puppets, burning the strings Ask yourself, now, at the end of the day Who failed the most Draw a thin line to cross while making unnerving promises Leaving a state of dystopia behind You decide, who is the lord of the rings The master of puppets, burning the strings Ask yourself, now, at the end of the day Who failed the most Yesterday, tomorrow seemed more like yesterday Now we long for those by gone days The known unknown is now far away Yesterday How brief the moment, we once believed The guiding hands of the ones who lead Are big enough, like they were before Are now so small? Building a maze of Penrose steps within your head And lead by example from the ivory tower and golden bed The long shadow of the money man Tantrum fits the plan - The new law of the land You decide, who is the lord of the rings The master of puppets, burning the strings Ask yourself, now, at the end of the day Who failed the most You decide, who is the lord of the rings The monster-like master, burning the strings Ask yourself, when everything falls apart: Who failed the most Who failed me the most? Who failed me the most? Who failed me the most? Who failed me the most? You failed me 07. You Won't Fall
You won't fall, you won't fall
I will break the chains you fear I won't let you fall You run away when things go wrong And never know me when I am gone And make me feel like I don't belong What are friends for? A song to clear out all debris A song to bring me clarity To guide my way across the darkness Climb the tower, ring the bell Let the world know all's not well The Dreamcatcher's fallen, nightmare outbreak I play a role of stupidity It gives a certain leverage when The vermin thinks the game is over You Once a plague For the weak Such a fake I could see through your frail shell, in the sun Still young And afraid Full of unaddressed hate Somehow got all piled on me I will still your trembling heart I'll restore the broken part I will break the chains you fear Help you find there, and disappear You won't fall, you won't fall I will see that you are safe That's what friends are for Now, evolved, I lead my life I'm strong from punishment, vital ingredient I distill your passages from the book of ignorance For you to sing-along The mighty cult of vanity Somehow now pro-equality Forget your guilt, I'm doing fine I will still your trembling heart I'll restore the broken parts I will break the chains you fear Help you find there, and disappear You won't fall, you won't fall I will see you're not alone When you have a trembling heart I will deal you your new cards I will break the chains you fear Help you find peace, and if I see you Fall, I will fall I will see that you are safe You won't fall 08. Ismo's Got Good Reactors
[Instrumental]
09. Demon's Cage
Far and away, out where the rainbows once ended
And all the blood, fortunes and diamonds are old Sons of their fathers grew their own demons To pay the cure for their sole heir had no spine The meek shall claim the land Read the leaders' escape plan's on the last page Of The Golden book in the Demon's Cage Pave the streets with broken glass Working class, kneel and kiss my? s? The door is open, the Demon's gone The ink dots dropped on the lines are wrong Failing to save the world from your own kind The pen is made out of a dead angel's wing You signed your name on a ticket to rags and pain Join us for the one finger salute, he's told you to Pave the streets with broken glass Working man, kneel, kiss my beautiful? The door is open, the Demon's gone? Your ink is square on the box, but the box is all wrong The door is open, the Demon's gone Soon you will run out of the end to the Once Upon a? The door is closed and the Demon's home You have ran out of the end to the Once Upon a? The door is locked and the Demon's come You cannot but learn his song and sing-along The world's in flames and the Demon smiles Damn, you chose well, your Demon's smile's a mile wide The smile's a mile wide Just make sure before you leave the last one will? Well, never mind? 10. A Little Less Understanding
It's time to tell white lies
Time to feed your confidence In yourself It's time to make you fly It's time to hold you down Show the ropes Around your life So you can take control Yes, you will be free, Once you know what's good for thee But tonight you really need A little less understanding I know how it must feel You're like a younger version of me I don't wanna build The enslaving bridge of vanities Amenities To lose you to the game That only values glitter and fame A foundation that is frail Yes, you will be free, Once you know what's good for thee But tonight you really need A little less understanding I know how it must feel You're like a younger version of me Yes, you will be free, You will decide what's good for thee But like we all, you sometimes need A little less understanding I know how you feel You're like a younger version of me I can feel the wrath of a cryin' child As you crash the gates of your tiny life, For the very first time in your life You would rather chew off your own tail What you really want isn't what you need Maybe one is enough, I'll feed your need I only want the best for you Your prison's like a mansion with a view Yes, you will be free, Once you know what's good for thee But tonight you really need A little less understanding I know how you feel You're like a younger version of me Yes, you will be free, You will decide what's good for thee But like we all, you sometimes need A little less understanding I know how you feel You're like a younger version of me Yes, you will be free, To choose the walk of life you believe Gives you everything you need A little more understanding The windowpane of life, You only see the stains in the sunlight 11. The Raven Still Flies
Slowly snow is falling on black wings
The morning rays of light, Gray's Mountain is singin' Winter morn', the dawn of spring The sun, the light, the birth of things The lair of grizzly Mountain King The evergreen of trees, the living canvas Cold, moon was so bright that night When the wolver came And he stole you away From me Where are you tonight, oh child Can you hear the call Will we see you? Do ravens still fly with you Follow you, like in my dreams I believe Your raven still flies with you Or without you I hope you know? I hope you know? Years may pass like a flying raven Can you see the stars above me Alive in a cage, safe and fed, the Knowing Come render me painless Even if I would never see you again Raven, bring me my wish upon the starry sky All the dreams my son's had in the strange world, in which he's hidden Paint the sky, draw the map of freedom, I close My eyes, the brothers walk the path home side by side? The wailing sounds in a chamber Softer, no echoes remain Bury your hopes and your prayers If he is dead you have none? Do ravens still fly with you Follow you, like in my dreams I believe Your raven still flies with you Above you, you feel the wind in your hair Above you? wind in your hair, in my dream You run amongst the wolves now The hills are glaced, the winter's veil The beauty of the season close to sun The ravens still fly with you 12. The Garden
ou gave me, you gave me the key to this beautiful garden
The one that holds all the secrets And I only smile, you wait? the moment is golden. Now. Tomorrow may fail all the dreams But the moment's golden now, in a dream In a golden dream? I, I am alive in a dream, my love? Now you gave me, you gave me a beautiful child, in a dream And you smile when I tell you I think this is all? All just a dream My life? my everything in a beautiful garden Sunshine, friends, glass of wine If this is a dream, my wish is to dream Seven lifetimes Greed? Well, maybe, but how could you blame me You gave this all to me? all to me? Dream, dream, dream? Oh it's a dream? it is all a dream? Beautiful dream, beautiful dream, beautiful dream Beautiful dream, beautiful dream, beautiful dream If I wake up I wish I will wake up with you If I'm dreaming In a garden under these beautiful stars By your side If we wake up We wish we could wake up with you If we're dreaming In a garden under this beautiful starlight By your side When we grow older, the garden you gave me Is filled with your smile and your sunshine We open the gates to this beautiful garden For the faces that glow in the sunlight Filling the garden with people we love We see faces that glow in the sunshine Smile with our friends in the garden of dreams And see faces that glow in the sunshine You gave me the key to this beautiful garden With children and friends, in the sunshine |
