Music : Tolkki
Words : LassilaWhy do you stare at me?
It's hard to please when you're feeling ill at ease
Hey, let it go
You have feelings inside let them showGrim craven mind
Timid all the time
Can't come out of your shell
It's hellIt's time to break the ice
It's time to break the iceShame, shame on you
There are so many things that you could do
Hey, can't you see?
Love is a stream that endlessly flows in meGrim craven mind
Timid all the time
Can't come out of your shell
It's hellIt's time to break the ice
It's time to break the ice
Music : Tolkki
Words : Tolkki, LassilaThe time is running
It's running so fast that you don't
Notice years are passing by
And you're growing older
What happened to all your dreams?
Did they become true at allWe cannot undo the deeds of the years
They leave you on your own with your deepest fearsDon't look for the future
Don't live in the past
Just take it day by day 'cause life goes fast
The minutes the hours
The days and the years will fly so
Live still when you have the timeWe cannot undo the deeds of the years
They leave you on your own with your deepest fearsWheel of the time
Turns again tonight
Eternally
Decides our destiny
Wheel of the time
Turns again tonight
Reason or rhyme
Hands of time
Madness Strikes At Midnight 7.19
Music & Words : Tolkki
He's crawling out from the asylum now
Under cover of the night
Insanity of his crazy mind
It's useless for you now to hide
Walking the streets someone's in sight
He's waiting for you in the night
Hiding in the shadows, hiding in the alleys
He's ready to kill tonightSo lock your doors and hide
And pray your god 'cause you're not aloneYears he spent in the cage
They did not help him at all
Now today with the power of his rage
He's slaughtering people tonight
Walking the streets someone's in sight
He's waiting for you in the night
Hiding in the shadows, hiding in the alleys
He's ready to kill tonightSo lock your doors and hide
And pray your god 'cause you're not aloneMadness strikes at midnight
Madness strikes at night

Words : Tolkki, LassilaDanger zone
I look into the mirror see my face again
I hear myself preaching
You are getting bold
Growing old
Skin turns coldYou're to blame
But I will find the way to be myself again
I break the mirror with the noise
Stop preaching me
Teaching me
Leave me beThere's no way to stop me now
My end is in sight
I reach for the light
Tonight, tonight, tonightTwilight time
It's twilight time
Reaching for a morning light
It's twilight time
Music : Tolkki
Words : LassilaCome with me my child
It's gonna take a little while
To teach you the knowledge
Of the ancient rhymeFly with me tonight
Through the cosmic sea
It's a mysteryFrom the thirst for life
You will never keep away
Pleasure of one man
Makes another man a preyFly with me tonight
Through the cosmic sea
It's a mysteryHills have eyes
Mind your step you'll better be wise
Or you never rise again
Hills have eyes
Never forgive nor compromise
You fail in vain
Music : Tolkki
Words : Tolkki, LassilaOut of the light from
The mist, from the shadows I go
Facing the new world
The odd things the places unknownFar away
I sail away todaySeeing a new face
Impression, the moment the thought
Unarmed and naked
Defenseless my mind is caughtFar away
It sails away todayOut of the shadows we go
There's no reason to hide anymore
Out of the shadows we go
Into the new horizon
Towards the new shore we go
Music & Words : Tolkki
Hey you take a look around
Can you feel the change begin?
Soon it will be too late
If you don't wake up
Outside the winds are blowing
And the people are staring so cold
The look that's in their eyes
Tells me something's wrongLead us into the light
Lead us into the lightIt's so strange
We have gone so far
Still knowing what will happen
If we close our eyes
Is this the hell on Earth?
And the heaven is out of our sight
Open your eyes, realize
It's not too lateLead us into the light
Lead us into the light
