Chasing Shadows 4.38

Music & Words : Tolkki

I have been sailing across the oceans
Flying across the blue sky
Without never finding the answer
The answer to question why

Just when you think you reach it
It's gone

Chasing shadows
Chasing shadows
Chasing shadows - all your life

Harder you try to fix things in your life
Faster you know it's in vain
Searching for loving from strangest places
Nothing is left but the pain

Just when you think you reach it
It's gone

Chasing shadows
Chasing shadows
Chasing shadows - all your life

4th Reich 5.49

Music & Words : Tolkki

Sign of the times
And writings on the wall
They show me its time has come
Order of a new kind
We will all find
Stronger than never before

Things are pretty much the same
Like in the year '38
Oh won't we ever learn?
This time it's gonna be different
So let's all join our hands
And let the children sing
For the last time

4th reich is rising
Can't you see the signs?
4th reich is rising
For the last time

Let's just press more money
Don't worry about the inflation
We got to have more weapons to carry on
Unemployment and sorrow
Cannot be avoided at this point
But things will be so different
When they are ruling the world

4th Reich is rising
Can't you see the signs?
4th Reich is rising
For the last time

What will be left to our children?
Is this our final destiny?

Eyes Of The World 5.57

Music & Words : Tolkki

Everywhere I go
I see people staring at me
It makes me feel so strange
Why won't they just leave me be
So take a look in the mirror
And maybe you'll see
All the things that happened
While you were looking at me
Am I really so different?

In the eyes of the world
You are no different to me
In the eyes of the world
Is it so hard to see now?

Everything we do
Is running into the sand
And who is to take the food
Away from the children's hand
We all could be friend now
And it's not a crime
But we have to be quick now
Because we ain't got much time
Are we really so different?

In the eyes of the world
You are no different to me
In the eyes of the world
Is it so hard to see now?

Hold On To Your Dream 3.34

Music : Tolkki
Words : Tolkki, Lassila

Since you were born
Pushed into corner and left all alone
Told what to do, obey all the rules
Be just like everyone else, those fools
Day at the school
Teacher's a bully, you're mobbed as a rule
Nothing from TV, your folks are away
You are trapped inside this house, you must stay home

Now it's time for you to move on
Leave the shadows of your past
Don't let them haunt you forever

Hold on to your dream
Somewhere there's a beam
Of hope which is guiding your way through the dark
This is your chance
Your love, your romance
Hold on to your dream and never give up in your life
Hold on to your dream

Magic Carpet Ride 4.49

Music & Words : Tolkki

Let me take you to the faraway places
Where you've never been to the orient lands
Soon you will notice the mountains and forests
We're flying over them now

Don't you be afraid
Just take my hand
As we race with four winds

Welcome to the land of mystery
Welcome to the land of secrets
This is no ancient history
We are flying through the gates of Babylon

Allah is speaking us all with his mighty voice
Bowing to his power as we go down
This magic carpet ride is not a dream to us
It's really happening now

Welcome to the land of mystery
Welcome to the land of secrets
This is no ancient history
We are flying through the gates now

We Are The Future 5.20

Music & Words : Tolkki

What is wrong with a man
Destroying the land
Our planet is full of waste
Sheltering ozone layer is no more a shield
The temperature is rising up

Now it's time to stop this madness
Preventing increasing sadness
Let's put end to all this while we can

Man against another man
How somebody can
Judge by colour of the skin
See the signs make up your mind
Now it's time for the change
It is not too late

Now it's time to stop this madness
Preventing increasing sadness
Let's put end to all this while we can

Save us, we are the future
Lead us into the better world now
Show us the way to reality
No more injustice or cruelty

Save us, we are the future
Lead us into the better world now
Show us the way to reality
Injustice is all gone

Fast, fast stop this course now
Last, last or we won't last
Past, stop living in the past or you will die
End, end, end of our time
Time our precious time
Crime, crime against mankind we have to pay

In the course of mad destruction
There'll be no coming back
The nuclear end is in sight
Soon there will be no one to fight with
Take a look into the sky
It may be your last time
The complete end is in sight
Soon there will be no one to with

Save us, we are the future
Lead us into the better world now
Show us the way to reality
No more injustice or cruelty

Save us, we are the future
Lead us into the better world now
Show us the way to reality
Injustice is all gone

Tears Of Ice 5.15

Music & Words : Tolkki

Tear of ice falling down
My cheeks forming a lake
In its surface I see your face
And I watch it 'til it's gone

There were times all I did was cry out your name
Only thing I feel now is pain...

Tears of ice frozen heart
Icy drops fall to the ground
Forming stream, golden dream
That will lead me to your door

There were times all I did was cry out your name
Only thing I feel now is pain...

Baby your should see
What you did to me
Now I am crying tears of ice
Baby you should feel
Like I felt in those days
Now I am crying tears of ice

Dreamspace 5.58

Music & Words : Tolkki

Looking back through time
To my childhood days
I used to have a place
Where I could escape the reality
But lately things have been
So difficult for me
Trying to reach for the light
In the fall of darkness

Waiting watching my life
I'm wasting my time
I'm losing grip from life
Going back to my dreamspace
Leaving it all behind
Soon the things will be alright
When I get there

Am I safe in here
Nothing left to fear
I will close my eyes
And float away with stream

Wandering here in this
Eternal darkness
No sign of light anywhere
I am going insane
Now I am leaving this life
No hope left, I want to die

Reign Of Terror 3.29

Music & Words : Tolkki

What the hell is going on?
Ski jumpers making music that sells gold
There's no talent in this game
Hunting, hunting for the fame
Publicity is all you need
That's why it feels to me like
Reign of terror
Reign of terror

Everything costs so much nowadays
And individuals vanish in the haze
Entertainment for the masses
Saving, saving your own asses
Rats are leaving sinking ship
Still it feels to me like
Reign of terror

What the hell is going on?
Everything is upside down
Hunting, hunting for the fame
Terror, terror everywhere

Thin Ice 4.23

Music : Tolkki
Words : Lassila

I'm walking on a thin ice
Lying paralyzed
Staying there all alone
Reaching for the unknown

In the mirror I see despair
In the closet I smell death
There's needles in my bed
I've finally lost my head

Atlantis 1.08

Music : Tolkki

Instrumental

Abyss 4.59

Music : Tolkki
Words : Lassila

I'm out on the open sea
The wind is embracing me
I'm watching the setting sun
Far far away from you
There's not much that I could do
Do you know what's the only way for me

Into the depths I fall
Into the unknown darkness I go

Down, down, down
Down, down, down
Falling into the abyss

A morning of no recall
No memory, nothing at all
The sun is blinding my eyes
The pain I feel in my head
I think I'll go back to bed
Or should I have just one more

Into the depths I fall
Into the unknown darkness I go

Down down down
Down down down
Falling into the abyss

Shattered 3.30

Music : Tolkki
Words : Lassila

I worked so hard
To get my aim
Pulled out wrong card
Is this my last game
Too fast too soon
You know it takes time
Hasty deeds spoilt
The chances of mine

I'm burning inside
Outside seems allright
Try not to think about it much
It's hard to say when I will play again

Shattered, shattered
My hands are shattered, shattered
Shattered, shattered
My life is shattered

I'm dressed to kill
And ready to score
3rd pain pill
And there's pain no more
I can't break out
Out of these walls
Walls that sometimes
The skull is called

I'm burning inside
Outside seems allright
Try not to think about it much
It's hard to say when I will play again

Shattered, shattered
My hands are shattered, shattered
Shattered, shattered
Inside I'm shattered

Wings Of Tomorrow 5.08

Music & Words : Tolkki

New winds are blowing
Over the world can you feel it
Message is spreading among all the people
Future is calling
History is leaving behind
Nobody is thinking about the past days

If you want to have a look in future world
If you have an open mind now it is your turn
Come join our forces to this trip on the wings of tomorrow

Consider that this world
Could be free from all this hatred
There would be no borders, no laws any kind
Still mankind is falling
Planning its ruin everyday
But hey we can still stop this madness together

If you want to have a look in future world
If you have an open mind now it is your turn
Come join our forces to this trip on the wings of tomorrow

Full Moon 4.31

Music & Words : Tolkki

Shining there in the sky

Lights our way across the land

Black clouds in front of

your face

Fading into the haze

In this prison of mine

My soul lies in dispair

 

My mind

Wanders through time

Tell me what is my crime

What is behind velvet lies

Heart as cold as the ice

 

In this prison of mine

My soul lies in dispair
