(In the sheltering shade of the forest Calling calming silence Accompanied only by the full moon The howling of a night wolf And the path under my bare feet... ...The Elvenpath)
Hearing music from the deepest forest Songs as a seduction of sirens The elf-folk is calling me
Tapio, Bear-king, Ruler of the forest Mielikki, Bluecloak, Healer of the ill and sad Open the gate and let me follow the uncarven path
The way to the lands Where as a hero I stand The path where Beauty met the Beast Elvenpath It's the honesty of these worlds Ruled by magic and mighty swords That makes my soul long for the past Elvenpath
The moonwitch took me to a ride on a broomstick Introduced me to her old friend home gnome Told me to keep the sauna warm for him
At the grove I met the rest - the folk of my fantasies Bilbo, Sparhawk, goblins and pixies Snowman, Willow, trolls and the seven dwarves The path goes forever on
The way to the lands...
As I return to my room And as sleep takes me by my hand Madrigals from the woods Carry me to neverland In this spellbound night The world's an elvish sight In this spellbound night The world's an elvish sight
Beauty And The Beast
Remember the first dance we shared? Recall the night you melted my ugliness away? The night you left with a kiss so kind Only a send of beauty left behind
Ah dear friend I remember the night The moon and the dreams we shared Your trembling paw in my hand Dreaming of that northern land Touching me with a kiss of a beast
I know my dreams are made of you Of you and only for you Your ocean pulls me under Your voice tears me asunder Love me before the last petal falls
As a world without a glance Of the ocean's fair expanse Such the world would be If no love did flow in thee But as my heart is occupied Your love for me now has to die Forgive me I need more than you can offer me
Didn't you read the tale Where happily ever after was to kiss a frog? Don't you know this tale In which all I ever wanted I'll never have For who could ever learn to love a beast?
However cold the wind and rain I'll be there to ease your pain However cruel the mirrors of sin Remember beauty is found within
...Forever shall the wolf in me desire the sheep in you...
The Carpenter
Who are you? Man condemned to shine a salvation Throughout the centuries
Why? Was the wine of the grail Too sour for man to drink
The carpenter Carved his anchor On the dying souls of mankind On the tomb of this unknown soldier Lay the tools of the one who for us had died Tools of the carpenter
The one they lick The same old sick Dream of their precious saviour
Kiss them deep And make them weep Over promises of eternal peace
The carpenter...
I hear you Through the symphonic voices of nature The purity I could never doubt They tell me to lie on the grass And observe my saviour The one crucified to the chirping of birds
The carpenter...
Astral Romance (1997)
A nocturnal concerto Candlelight whispers me where to go Hymn of gathering stars as my guide As I wander on this path of the night
Embroidery of the stars Undress my feelings for this earth Send me your salva to heal my scars And let this nakedness me my birth
Macrocosm poured its powers on me And the hopes of this world I now must leave The nightwish I sent you centuries ago Has been heard by those Who dwelled in a woe
The distance of our bridal bed Await for me to be dead Dust of the galaxies take my hand Lead me to my beloved's land
Departed by the guillotine of death I received a letter from the depth The dream of my lover it carried inside
Caressed by the sharpest knife I asked you to be my wife Rays of the setting sun Were my tears wept upon promises undone
Come to me Make me believe to you and your love again
Above the universe Beneath the Great Eye I shall desire you forevermore
Angels Fall First
An angelface smiles to me Under a headline of tragedy That smile used to give me warmth Farewell - no words to say Beside the cross on your grave And those forever burning candles
Needed elsewhere To remind us of the shortness of your time Tears laid for them Tears of love tears of fear Bury my dreams dig up my sorrows Oh Lord why The angels fall first?
Not relieved by thoughts of Shangri-La Nor enlightened by the lessons of Christ I'll never understand the meaning of the right Ignorance lead me into the light
Needed elsewhere...
Sing me a song Of your beauty Of your kingdom Let the melodies of your harps Caress those whom we still need
Yesterday we shook hands My friend Today a moonbeam lightens my path My guardian
Tutankhamen
As the sun sets beyond the pyramid To greet me with its rays I place my hand on my forehead To see your chariots' flames
Watch me kneel before you Hear the cats meowing in the temple They yearn for the milk you cascaded As I yearn your promised treasure
Treasure of Tutankhamen I am the one it is Take me with you Through the stargate To the valley of the kings
Sacrifice me Tutankhamen And let me be your queen Take me Tonight and always We'll breed to fill all earth
Three millenniums it took me to guard your rest Your slumber in mighty Phoenix's nest But tonight the darkness in the tomb has perished For Carter has come to free my beloved
Treasure of...
Sacrifice me...
Nymphomaniac Fantasia
The scent of a woman was not mine...
Welcome home darling Did you miss me? Wish to dwell in dear love?
Touch my milklike skin Feel the ocean Lick my deepest Hear the starry choir
Rip off this lace That keeps me imprisoned But beware of the enchantment For my eroticism is oblivion
Old love lies deep you said Deeper shall be the wound between your legs
Know Why The Nightingale Sings?
What does the free fall feel like? Asks the boy with a spark in his eye Know why the nightingale sings Is the answer to everything
Taking a step to the world unbound Spinning my fantasies all around Freed from the gravital leash I swear the heaven's in my reach
Dancing with the spirit of the air In this ocean so so open and fair Making love to the gods above On my maiden voyage so bold
Landing safely to the blue lagoon Don't know if this is the earth or the moon Joy of living is no more a mask The Eden I found will forever last
Migrating with the geese My soul has finally found peace Doesn't matter that man has no wings As long as I hear the nightingale sing...

Kautta erämaajärven matkaa kulkuri yksinäinen Näkee lammella joutsenparven vapauttaan itkevän

3. This Moment Is Eternity
Day possesses no key here Where moon sheds the cold twilight This moment is eternity
Land of beauty Cold and cruel Fjeld chants echoing Reflecting the melancholy
Trust the wind Trust the fire Call for the hermit The hermit of the night
Land of raven Land of bear Land of eagle And wolverine
Dismal are the mirrors of a wolf

Once Upon A Troubadour
A lonely bard wandering across the lands am I Singing dancing finding answers to every why The taverns are full and one crosses my path, too I just might reward myself with a beer or two
This inn the place of many romantic tales On the loft women offer their sales But my eyes they catch a girl beat by everyone A slave she is but for me a rose undone
Hear me sing Watch me dance Play that lute of thine And share with me this dance
As she danced my eyes began to shine There she was the maiden so divine How could I approach her with my outlook so poor Her beauty being much more than I could endure
So I asked if I could sing a chanson With a language of ancient and of lore Gathered the men around us me and the girl in rags Soon were the melodies heard by everyone
Hear us sing Watch us dance Sing with us this tale With a clap of hands
The stories long-forgotten we still know Performing our skills wherever we go I end my story as I receive a kiss From my girl the dearest Beatrice
Hear us sing Watch us dance Sing with us the tales Which the music will keep alive

A Return To The Sea
A star falls down from the darkened sky Where new worlds born and die Kingdom Animalia watches its approaching glow What it means is soon to be known
Beneath the lovely birch honeymakers build their nest in peace On the savannah a lion licks a wounded gnu To honor this moment even the heavens cease Giant spiders learn how to swim With whales they form a united kin
Snakes say hello to the rats on the ground In the meadows play merrily the fox and the hound
Trilobite & Anymalocharis The prey and the hunter Survival of the fittest Fall of Man
Seadrops foam all empty human skulls Those on the shores of Atlantis Darwin's resurrection is witnessed By turtles he used to play with
Healed and happy She oversees The Mother The tyrant's return to the sea

_______________________________________ Search for beauty, find your shore Try to save them all, bleed no more You have such oceans within In the end, I will always love you...
A grand oasis in the vastness of gloom Child of dew-spangled cobweb Mother to the moon Constellations beholders of the 3rd vagrant Theater for the play of life
Tragedienne of heavens Watching the eyes of the night Sailing the virgin oceans A planetride for the Mother and Child
Floating upon the quiet hydrogen lakes In this ambrosial merry-go-round they will gaze Ephemereal life touched by a billion-year show Separating the poet from the woe
Tragedienne of heavens...
Oracle of the Delphian Domine Witness of Adam's frailty Seer of the master prophecy The stellar world her betrothed
Wanderers in cosmic caravan Universal bond - The Starborn
A son in the search for the truth Following the pages of Almagest Discovering the origin of dreams Stargazers ride through the ancient realms
Tragedienne of heavens...
Gethsemane
Toll no bell for me Father But let this cup of suffering pass from me Send me no shepherd to heal my world But the Angel - the dream foretold Prayed more than thrice for You to see The wolf of loneliness in me ...not my own will but Yours be done...
You wake up where's the tomb? Will Easter come, enter my room? The Lord weeps with me But my tears fall for you
Another Beauty Loved by a Beast Another tale of infinite dreams Your eyes they were my paradise Your smile made my sun rise
Forgive me for I don't know what I gain Alone in this garden of pain Enchantment has but one truth: I weep to have what I fear to lose
You wake up where's the tomb...
"I knew you never before I see you never more But the love the pain the hope O beautiful one Have made you mine 'till all my years are done"
Without you The poetry within me is dead
Devil & The Deep Dark Ocean
A snowy owl above the haunted waters Poet of ancient gods Cries to tell the neverending story Prophecy of becoming floods
An aura of mystery surrounds her The lady in brightest white Soon the incarnate shall be born The Creator of the Night
Deep dark is His Majesty's kingdom A portent of tomorrow's world There shall the liquid give Him power The red-eyed unborn lord
Fatal embrace of the bloodred waters The cradle of infinite gloom The spell to master this Earth Carven on an infant's tomb
"I will die for the love of the mermaid Her seduction beauty and scorn Welcome to the end of your life - Hail the Oceanborn!"
"Disgraced is my virginity Death has woven my wedding dress Oh Great Blue breathe the morning dew For you are the cradle of the image of god"
"Brave now long rest is sweet With me here in the deep"
"I prayed for pleasure wished for love Prayed for your - "
"Never pray for me!"
"Who the hell are you for me But a mortal dream to see?"
"This apathetic life must drown Forever just for me"
"Leave me be Leave me be Leave me be...ee...eeee"
"From cradle to coffin Shall my wickedness be your passion"
We shall come to set the dolphins free We shall wash the darkened bloodred sea Our songs will echo over the mountains and seas The eternity will begin once again in peace
Sacrament Of Wilderness
Naked in midwinter magic Lies an angel in the snow The frozen figure crossed by tracks of wolves An encounter symbolic yet truthful With a hungry choir of wolves An agreement immemorial to be born
Dulcet elvenharps from a dryad forest Accompany all charming tunes Of a sacrament by a campfire A promise between the tameless And the one with a tool Tonight the journey from a cave begins
I want to hunt with the tameless heart I want to learn the wisdom of mountains afar We will honor the angel in the snow We will make the streams for our children flow
Wrapped in furs beneath the northern lights From my cave I watch the land untamed And wonder if some becoming season Will make the angel melt in shame
I want to hunt with the tameless heart...
Passion And The Opera
Princess of lust Dignity put to dust A virginal sight Their apple to bite
Drink from my thighs The rain of lies A sight so cursed Breasts which never nursed
An Aphrodite for mortal souls Playing hide and seek in lecherous roles Their erotic hour my tearless weep Their satisfaction my infinite sleep
Naked limbs reflecting from the moon I'll be there for you soon First wish for this night: Let me be your delight
Body of a virgin Soul to the Devil's kin Your God is me In all that you see
An Aphrodite for mortal souls...
Swanheart
All those beautiful people I want to have them all All those porcelain models If only I could make them fall
Be my heart a well of love Flowing free so far above
A wintry eve Once upon a tale An Ugly Duckling Lost in a verse Of a sparrows carol Dreaming the stars
Be my heart a well of love Flowing free so far above
In my world Love is for poets Never the famous balcony scene Just a dying faith On the heaven's gate
Crystal pond awaits the lorn Tonight another morn for the lonely one is born
Moondance

The Riddler
Riddler Riddler ask me why The birds fly free on a mackerel sky Ask me whither goes the wind Whence the endless tick-tick stream begins
Make me guess if the earth is flat or round Set a guessing if fantasies are unbound If tales aren't just for children to see That it's peace if sleep walks with me
As you wish For kingdom come The one to know all the answers You think you dwell in wisdoms sea Still sweet ignorance is the key To a poet's paradise Challenge the Riddler and you will see...
Riddler Riddler ask me why All mothers beneath the Earth and sky Hold their children's hands for a while Their hearts forever - yours and mine
Make me wonder what's the meaning of life What's the use to be born and then die Make me guess who's the one Behind the mask of Father and Son
As you wish...
For nature hates virginity I wish to be touched Not by the hands of where's and why's But by the Oceans' minds
As you wish...
The Pharaoh Sails To Orion
"Get away from me! Take heed to thyself and see my face no more! for in the day Thou see my face Thou shalt die!" - Exodus 10:28
A constellation of divine architecture built on Earth A holy harbour - Orion Nautical ascension to the firmament
Ship-shaped barrows open my heart to the wisdom of this land Sailing with the Serpent Chimera of a fiendish sandman
The Unicorn arrives with the westwind to dream His funeral "Thou art born for Horus dwells in Thee"
Slumbering with the ebb and the flow of this foaming tomb "Thou art born for Seteh dwells in Thee"
Reveal your face to me and guide me through the Stygian fields Enthral my soul to Sepedet's beams to serve Your will
Sailing on the distant seas from darkness to deliverance Tales like the ocean written to the Draco's glance
Ruling with the scythe of death you tear our philosophies apart An ancient starwalk to merge into the stars
"Open thy veins for my venom Kiss the cobras with thy twisted tongue So shalt thou join the empyrean circus Where beggars mourn and seraphs dance In this twilight cathedral Shall I wed thee, O Bride of the Netherworld"
Sailing on the distant seas...
Join my soul the Hunter in the sky
Walking In The Air
We're walking in the air We're floating in the moonlit sky The people far below are sleeping as we fly
I'm holding very tight I'm riding in the midnight blue I'm finding I can fly so high above with you
Far across the world The villages go by like trees The rivers and the hills The forests and the streams
Children gaze open mouth Taken by surprise Nobody down below believes their eyes
We're surfing in the air We're swimming in the frozen sky We're drifting over icy Mountains floating by
Suddenly swooping low on an ocean deep Arousing of a mighty monster from its sleep
We're walking in the air We're floating in the midnight sky And everyone who sees us greets us as we fly
Sleeping Sun
The sun is sleeping quietly Once upon a century Wistful oceans calm and red Ardent caresses laid to rest
For my dreams I hold my life For wishes I behold my night The truth at the end of time Losing faith makes a crime
I wish for this night-time to last for a lifetime The darkness around me Shores of a solar sea Oh how I wish to go down with the sun Sleeping Weeping With you
Sorrow has a human heart From my god it will depart I'd sail before a thousand moons Never finding where to go
Two hundred twenty-two days of light Will be desired by a night A moment for the poet's play Until there's nothing left to say
I wish for this night-time...
I wish for this night-time...
Nightquest
Born to the false world the wanderer Storyteller the pied piper On a quest for immortality Gathering a troop to find the fantasy
Lead by a maid queen of the night Voice of angel such a divine sight An amazon to fight and cure This reality with her feline lure
Patriotic to the promised land Of never-waking dream
Nightquest a quest not for the past But for tomorrow to make it last Simply the best way to walk this life Hand in hand with a dreamer's mind Enter the realm don't stay awake The dreams remain they only break Forget the task enjoy the ride And follow us into the night
A merry minstrel with his fingers fast Playing his lute charming every lass Joins the troop with a glitter in his eye "Shall I find fame - or shall I die?"
Warrior with power along the path A hammerheart his gallantry to last Rhythm of sirens enemies take heed For in this war laws are in silent sleep
Patriotic to the promised land Of never-waking dream
Nightquest a quest not for the past...
Come to the Elfland the eldest said In my guidance you shall not be afraid I am the mastermind the wizard to show the way...
Nightquest a quest not for the past...
First ones to walk this path of night Lady in black lady in white Followed by legions of night-time wanderers
Guardians of the halls of heart When we from my homeland depart To challenge the gods of emptiness May the quest begin!

_______________________________________ Search for beauty, find your shore Try to save them all, bleed no more You have such oceans within In the end, I will always love you...
Take heed, dear heart Once apart, she can touch nor me nor you Dressed as one A wolf will betray a lamb
Lead astray the gazers The razors on your seducing skin In the meadow of sinful thoughts Every flower`s perfect
To paradise with pleasure haunted by fear
A sin for him Desire within A burning veil For the bride too dear for him A sin for him Desire within Fall in love with your deep dark sin
I am the Fallen You are what my sins enclose Lust is not as creative As its discovery
To paradise with pleasure haunted by fear
A sin for him...
Bless me, undress me Pick your prey in a wicked way God I must confess... ...I do envy the sinners
The Kinslayer
For whom the gun tolls For whom the prey weeps Bow before a war Call it religion
Some wounds never heal Some tears never will Dry for the unkind Cry for mankind
Even the dead cry - Their only comfort Kill your friend, I don`t care Orchid kids, blinded stare
Need to understand No need to forgive No truth no sense left to be followed
"Facing this unbearable fear like meeting an old friend" "Time to die, poor mates, You made me what I am!"
"In this world of a million religions everyone prays the same way" "Your praying is in vain It`ll all be over soon" "Father help me, save me a place by your side!" "There is no god Our creed is but for ourselves"
"Not a hero unless you die Our species eat the wounded ones"
"Drunk with the blood of your victims I do feel your pity-wanting pain, Lust for fame, a deadly game"
"Run away with your impeccable kin!"
"- Good wombs hath borne bad sons..." Cursing, God, why? Falling for every lie Survivors` guilt In us forevermore
15 candles Redeemers of this world Dwell in hypocrisy: "How were we supposed to know?"
4 pink ones 9 blue ones 2 black ones
- In memory of the Redeemers 20.4.1999
Come Cover Me
Come wet a widow`s eye Cover the night with your love Dry the rain from my beaten face Drink the wine the red sweet taste of mine
Come cover me with you For the thrill Till you will take me in Come comfort me in you Young love must Live twice only for us
For me For you Time devours passion`s beauty With me With you In war for the love of you (Tonight any dream will do)
Not a world but your fine grace Seduction in sleepwalker`s land November dressed in May on your face Holding us now the lovecropper`s hand
Come cover me with you...
Wanderlust
I want to see where the sirens sing Hear how the wolves howl Sail the dead calm waters of the Pacific
Dance in the fields of coral Be blinded by the white Discover the deepest jungle
I want to find The Secret Path A bird delivered into my heart, so
It`s not the end Not the kingdom come It is the journey that matters, the distant wanderer Call of the wild In me forever and ever and ever forever Wanderlust
I want to love by the Blue Lagoon Kiss under the waning moon Straying, claiming my place in this mortal coil
Riding the dolphins Asking the mountains Dreaming Alaska The Earth can have but Earth
I want to find...
It`s not the end...
Drown into my eyes and see the wanderer See the mirrors of a wolf behold the pathfinder
Two For Tragedy
Sleep Eden sleep My fallen son Slumber in peace
Cease the pain Life`s just in vain For us to gain Nothing but all the same
No healing hand For your disease Drinking scorn like water Cascading with my tears
Beneath the candle bed Two saddened angels - in heaven, in death
Now let us lie Sad we lived sad we die Even in your pride I never blamed you
A mother`s love Is a sacrifice Together sleeping Keeping it all
No sympathy No eternity One light for each undeserved tear
Beneath the candle bed Two souls with everything yet to be said
Wishmaster
Master! Apprentice! Heartborne, 7th Seeker Warrior! Disciple! In me the Wishmaster
Elbereth Lorien
A dreamy-eyed child staring into night On a journey to storyteller`s mind Whispers a wish speaks with the stars the words are silent in him Distant sigh from a lonely heart "I`ll be with you soon, my Shalafi" Grey Havens my destiny
Master!...
Silvara Starbreeze
Sla-Mori the one known only by Him To august realms, the sorcery within If you hear the call of arcane lore, Your world shall rest on Earth no more A maiden elf calling with her cunning song "Meet me at the Inn of Last Home" Heartborne will find the way!
Master!...
Wishmaster Crusade for Your will A child, dreamfinder The Apprentice becoming...
Master!...
Bare Grace Misery
Sweet boy, come in I am the dark side of you Die for my sins Like the One once did
Cinnamon bed For your unashamed appetite A figurante This dance will hurt like hell
Oh, bare grace misery Just a child without a fairytale am I Dark but so lovely A Little Match Girl freezing in the snow
Love lying, enticing (Bare grace misery) Crowning the moment (Bare grace misery) This is what I am Bare grace for the end of days
Romantic scent Spoiled Lucrece lies warm for you There`s no such priest That can pray me to heaven
When done with me Forget if you think I feel ashamed A wild thing Never felt sorry for anything
Love lying...
Crownless
Crownless again shall be the queen Trophy on her grave still remains unseen A boat on the river confessing the sins The Riddler revealing the deep hidden things
Crownless again shall be the king A gull covered in oil with a broken wing A hitcher on a road alone and lost Iron sharpens iron - a truth that once was
Mine is the Earth and the sword in the stone Mine is the throne for the idol One fleeting moment and it is all gone Crownless again Will I fall?
Roaming on razor-sharp castles Ruling all but myself (Now my night is laid to sleep)
One fragrant rose worth ten times what I am A crippled begging a coin braver than I ever was Reflection from me - Devil dressed in white Chasten the being Become what I once was Mine is the Earth...
Deep Silent Complete
In your creation heaven did decree That in your arms sweet death should dwell
Deep Silent Complete Black velvet sea The sirens are calling for me
Saved my soul thinking "This song`s a lie" Sand on the shore is so dry
Deep Silent Complete Black velvet sea Brave day sinking in endless night
The age will say "This poet lies" Heaven never touched earthly face The age will say "This night was ours" Blessed with the Deep The Silent the Complete
Dead Boy's Poem
Born from silence, silence full of it A perfect concert my best friend So much to live for, so much to die for If only my heart had a home
Sing what you can`t say Forget what you can`t play Hasten to drown into beautiful eyes Walk within my poetry, this dying music - My loveletter to nobody
Never sigh for better world It`s already composed, played and told Every thought the music I write Everything a wish for the night
Wrote for the eclipse, wrote for the virgin Died for the beauty the one in the garden Created a kingdom, reached for the wisdom Failed in becoming a god
Never sigh...
"If you read this line, remember not the hand that wrote it Remember only the verse, songmaker`s cry, the one without tears For I`ve given this its strength and it has become my only strength. Comforting home, mother`s lap, chance for immortality Where being wanted became a thrill I never knew The sweet piano writing down my life"
"Teach me passion for I fear it`s gone Show me love, hold the lorn So much more I wanted to give to the ones who love me I`m sorry Time will tell (this bitter farewell) I live no more to shame nor me nor you
And you... I wish I didn`t feel for you anymore..."
A lonely soul... An ocean soul...
FantasMic
Part 1
Wish upon a star Take a step enter the land Walk through the air Take my hand Wishmaster`s will- Join him the quest for dream A make-believe Is all we ever need
Wish upon a star No matter who you are The second star to the right Harbinger`s gate Beyond the boundaries Blossom ballet In the great wide somewhere
Wish upon a star Believe in will The realm of the king of fantasy The master of the tale-like lore The way to kingdom I adore Where the warrior`s heart is pure Where the stories will come true
Part 2
A cub of the king betrayed by usurper A girl in the rain swearing to her father`s name Belle the last sight for the dying gruesome The beauties sleeping awaiting Deep in a dream For true love`s first kiss
Part 3
Bald Mountain Night Devilheart endures but light A mad aerial dance Chernabog`s succubi
Black Cauldron born Gurgi`s heart forlorn Pig-keeper or hero On a quest of augury
Maleficent`s fury The spindle so luring Dragon fight, dying night Dooming might
Apprentice of Yen Sid Conducting the galaxy Dreamer on mountaintop Spellbound masquerade
The Sailor an idol for the six-year-old in me The Phoenix of White Agony Creek Enchantress, A mermaid in a tale as old as time A Dragonslayer, The Awakener
Wish upon a star...
Sleepwalker
Close your eyes Feel the ocean where passion lies Silently the senses Abandon all defences
A place between sleep and awake End of innocence, unending masquerade That's where I'll wait for you
Hold me near you So close I sear you Seeing, believing Dreaming, decieving
A place between sleep and awake End of innocence, unending masquerade That's where I'll wait for you
Sleepwalker seducing me I dare to enter your ecstacy Lay yourself now down to sleep In my dreams you're mine to keep
(Sleepwalk with me...)
Sleepwalker seducing me...

They came for him one winter's night. Arrested, he was bound. They said there'd been a robbery, his pistol had been found.
They marched him to the station house, he waited for the dawn. And as they led him to the dock, he knew that he'd been wronged. "You stand accused of robbery," he heard the bailiff say. He knew without an alibi, tomorrow's light would mourn his freedom.
Over the hills and far away, for ten long years he'll count the days. Over the mountains and the seas, a prisoner's life for him there'll be.
He knew that it would cost him dear, but yet he dare not say. Where he had been that fateful night, a secret it must stay. He had to fight back tears of rage. His heart beat like a drum. For with the wife of his best friend, he spent his final night of freedom.
Over the hills and far away, he swears he will return one day. Far from the mountains and the seas, back in her arms he swears he'll be. Over the hills and far away.
Over the hills and, over the hills and, over the hills and far away.
Each night within his prison cell, he looks out through the bars. He reads the letters that she wrote. One day he'll know the taste of freedom.
Over the hills and far away, she prays he will return one day. As sure as the rivers reach the seas, back in his arms he swears she'll be.
Over the hills and far away, he swears he will return one day. Far from the mountains and the seas, back in her arms he swears he'll be.
Over the hills and far away, she prays he will return one day. As sure as the rivers reach the seas, back in his arms is where she'll be.
Over the hills, over the hills and far away.
Over the hills, over the hills and far away.
10th Man Down
Today I killed, he was just a boy Eight before him, I knew them all In the fields a dying oath: I´d kill them all to save my own
Cut me free, Bleed with me, Oh no One by one, We will fall, down down Pull the plug, End the pain, Run´n fight for life Hold on tight, this ain´t my fight
Deliver me from this war It´s not for me it´s because of you Devil´s instant my eternity Obey to kill to save yourself
Cut me free...
"I envy the 9 lives that gave me hell My path made up by their torn bodies Man to man, soldier to soldier, dust to dust Call me a coward but I can´t take it anymore"
They wait for me back home The live with eyes turned away They were the first ones to see They are the last ones to bleed
"The ultimate high as all beautiful dies A ruler´s tool, priest´s excuse, tyrant´s delight... I alone, the great white hunter I´ll march till the dawn brings me rest 10th patriot at the gallow´s pole!"
Cut me free...
Away
The days were brighter Gardens more blooming The nights had more hope In their silence The wild was calling Wishes were whispering The time was there But without a meaning
Away, away in time Every dream's a journey away Away to a home away from care Everywhere's just a journey away
The days departed Gardens deserted This frail world My only rest ?
The wild calls no more Wishes so hollow The Barefoot Boy weeping in an empty night
Away...
Cherish the moment Tower the skies Don't let the dreamer fade to grey like grass
No falling for life A gain for every loss Time gathered me But kept me flying
"For this gift of dream I must pay the price with the loss of life's pleasures"
Astral Romance (2001)
A nocturnal concerto Candlelight whispers me where to go Hymn of gathering stars as my guide As I wander on this path of the night
Embroidery of the stars Undress my feelings for this earth Send me your salva to heal my scars And let this nakedness me my birth
Macrocosm poured its powers on me And the hopes of this world I now must leave The nightwish I sent you centuries ago Has been heard by those who dwelled in a woe
The distance of our bridal bed Await for me to be dead Dust of the galaxies take my hand Lead me to my beloved's land
"The constant longing for your touch This bitter ocean of hatred and pain This loneliness I need to be who I am"
"The oceans are alone as I Somebody take away this gift of mine No charisma for the beast! But still I love you forevermore"
"Come to me Deliver me from you And from all the days of the Earth"
No last words to say Only memories remain A farewell then, my path goes forever on

_______________________________________ Search for beauty, find your shore Try to save them all, bleed no more You have such oceans within In the end, I will always love you...
"I was born amidst the purple waterfalls. I was weak, yet not unblessed. Dead to the world. Alive for the journey. One night I dreamt a white rose withering, a newborn drowning a lifetime loneliness. I dreamt all my future. Relived my past. A witnessed the beauty of the beast"
Where have all the feelings gone? Why has all the laughter ceased?
Why am I loved only when I'm gone? Gone back in time to bless the child Think of me long enough to make a memory Come bless the child one more time
How can I ever feel again? Given the chance would I return?
I've never felt so alone in my life As I drank from a cup which was counting my time There's a poison drop in this cup of Man To drink it is to follow the left hand path
"Where have all the feelings gone? Why is the deadliest sin - to love as I loved you? Now unblessed, homesick in time, soon to be freed from care, from human pain. My tale is the most bitter truth: Time pays us but with earth & dust, and a dark, silent grave. Remember, my child: Without innocence the cross is only iron, hope is only an illusion & Ocean Soul's nothing but a name...
The Child bless thee & keep thee forever"
End Of All Hope
It is the end of all hope To lose the child, the faith To end all the innocence To be someone like me This is the birth of all hope To have what I once had This life unforgiven It will end with a birth
No will to wake for this morn To see another black rose born Deathbed is slowly covered with snow
Angels, they fell first but I'm still here Alone as they are drawing near In heaven my masterpiece will finally be sung
Wounded is the deer that leaps highest And my wound it cuts so deep Turn off the light and let me pull the plug
Mandylion without a face Deathwish without a prayer End of hope End of love End of time The rest is silence
Dead To The World
All the same take me away We're dead to the world
The child gave thought to the poet's world Gave comfort to the Fallen (Heartfelt, lovelorn)
Remaining, yet still uninvited Those words scented my soul (Lonely soul, Ocean soul)
It's not the monsters under your bed It is the Man next door That makes you fear, makes you cry, Makes you cry for the child All the wars are fought among those lonely men Unarmed, unscarred
I don't want to die a scarless man A lonely soul (Tell me now what to do)
I studied silence to learn the music I joined the sinful to regain innocence
Heaven queen, cover me In all that blue Little boy, such precious joy Is dead to the world
Heaven queen, carry me Away from all pain All the same take me away We're dead to the world
Dead, silent, constant Yet always changing - My favorite view of this world
As he died, he will return to die in me again Weaving the cloth, giving birth to the Century Child Who gave his life not for the world but for me Innocence reborn once more
Ever Dream
Ever felt away with me Just once that all I need Entwined in finding you one day
Ever felt away without me My love, it lies so deep Ever dream of me
Would you do it with me Heal the scars and change the stars Would you do it for me Turn loose the heaven within
I'd take you away Castaway on a lonely day Bosom for a teary cheek My song can but borrow your grace
Come out, come out wherever you are So lost in your sea Give in, give in for my touch For my taste for my lust
Your beauty cascaded on me In this white night fantasy
Slaying The Dreamer
I'm a priest for the poorest sacrifice I'm but a raft in a sea of sorrow and greed You bathed in my wine Drank from my cup, mocked my rhyme Your slit tongues licked my aching wounds
Put a stake through my heart! And drag me into sunlight So awake for your greed As you're slaying the dreamer
Swansong for the Wish of Night God it hurts, give a name to the pain Our primrose path to hell is growing weed
Blame me, it's me Coward, a good-for-nothing scapegoat Dumb kid, living a dream Romantic only on paper
Tell me why you took all that was mine! Stay as you lay - don't lead me astray!
Wake up, mow the weed You'd be nothing without me Take my life if you have the heart to die
You bastards tainted my tool Raped my words, played me a fool Gather your precious glitter and leave me be The Great Ones are all dead And I'm tired, too
I truly hate you all!
Forever Yours
Fare thee well, little broken heart Downcast eyes, lifetime loneliness
Whatever walks in my heart will walk alone
Constant longing for the perfect soul Unwashed scenery forever gone
No love left in me No eyes to see the heaven beside me My time is yet to come So I'll be forever yours
Ocean Soul
One more night To bear this nightmare What more do I have to say
Crying for me was never worth a tear My lonely soul is only filled with fear
Long hours of loneliness Between me and the sea
Losing emotion Finding devotion Should I dress in white and search the sea As I always wished to be - one with the waves Ocean Soul
Walking the tideline I hear your name Is angels wispering Something so beautiful it hurts
I only wished to become something beautiful Through my music, through my silent devotion
Feel For You
You were my first love The earth moving under me Bedroom scent, beauty ardent Distant shiver, heaven sent
I'm the snow on your lips The freezing taste, the silvery sip I'm the breath on your hair The endless nightmare, devil's lair
Only so many times I can say I long for you The lily among the thorns The prey among the wolves
Someday, I will feed a snake Drink her venom, stay awake With time all pain will fade Through your memory I will wade
Barely cold in her grave Barely warm in my bed Settling for a draw tonight Puppet girl, your strings are mine
This one is for you for you Only for you Just give in to it never think again I feel for you
The Phantom Of The Opera
[CHRISTINE:] In sleep he sang to me In dreams he came That voice which calls to me And speaks my name And do I dream again For now I find The Phantom of the opera is there Inside my mind
[PHANTOM:] Sing once again with me Our strange duet My power over you Grows stronger yet And though you turn from me To glance behind The Phantom of the opera is there Inside your mind
[CHRISTINE:] Those who have seen your face Draw back in fear I am the mask you wear
[PHANTOM:] It's me they hear
[TOGETHER:] My/your spirit and your/my voice In one combined The phantom of the opera is there Inside your/my mind
He's there the Phantom of the opera Beware the Phantom of the opera
[PHANTOM:] In all your fantasies You always knew That man and mystery
[CHRISTINE:] Were both in you
[TOGETHER:] And in this labyrinth Where night is blind The phantom of the opera is there Inside your/my mind
[PHANTOM:] Sing my angel of music
Beauty Of The Beast
Long Lost Love
Trees have dropped their leaves, Clouds their waters All this burden is killing me
Distance is covering your way, Tears your memory All this beauty is killing me
Oh, do you care, I still feel for you So aware, What should be lost is there
I fear I will never find anyone I know my greatest pain is yet to come Will we find each other in the dark My long lost love
One More Night To Live
Safely away from the world In a dream, timeless domain A child, dreamy eyed, Mother's mirror, father's pride
I wish I could come back to you Once again feel the rain Falling inside me Cleaning all that I've become
My home is far but the rest it lies so close With my long lost love under the black rose You told I had the eyes of a wolf Search them and find the beauty of the beast
All of my songs can only be composed of the greatest of pains Every single verse can only be born of the greatest of wishes I wish I had one more night to live
A saint blessed me, drank me deeply Spitting out the misery in me Still a sinner rapes 1000 saints Sharing the same hell with me
Sanest choice in the insane world: Beware the beast but enjoy the feast he offers
Christabel
"Oh, sweet Christabel. Share with me your poem. For I know now, I'm a puppet on this silent stage show. I'm but a poet who failed his best play. A Dead Boy, who failed to write an ending To each of his poems."
The Wayfarer
I went into the wilderness with Uncle Walt I discovered the wild Learning to suck all the experience Seeing the world through cradle's bars
The wild blessed me with an errant mind Showing the way for the ultimate lore I went around the world, beyond the wild Finding my home from an ocean shore
Wayfarer, heartlander What if I only had One more night to live
Home is where the way is My road goes on forever One more voyage to go
Dead to the world Alive for the journey

_______________________________________ Search for beauty, find your shore Try to save them all, bleed no more You have such oceans within In the end, I will always love you...
Once there was a child's dream One night the clock struck twelve The window open wide Once there was a child's heart The age I learned to fly And took a step outside
Once I knew all the tales It's time to turn back time Follow the pale moonlight Once I wished for this night Faith brought me here It's time to cut the rope and fly
Fly to a dream Far across the sea All the burdens gone Open the chest once more Dark chest of wonders Seen through the eyes Of the one with pure heart Once so long ago
The one in the Big Blue is what the world stole from me This night will bring him back to me
Fly to a dream...
Wish I Had An Angel
I wish I had an angel For one moment of love I wish I had your angel Your Virgin Mary undone I'm in love with my lust Burning angelwings to dust I wish I had your angel tonight
Deep into a dying day I took a step outside an innocent heart Prepare to hate me fall when I may This night will hurt you like never before
Old loves they die hard Old lies they die harder
I wish...
I'm going down so frail 'n cruel Drunken disguise changes all the rules
Old loves...
I Wish...
Greatest thrill Not to kill But to have the prize of the night Hypocrite Wannabe friend 13th disciple who betrayed me for nothing!
Last dance, first kiss Your touch my bliss Beauty always comes with dark thoughts
I wish...
Nemo
This is me for forever One of the lost ones The one without a name Without an honest heart as compass
This is me for forever One without a name These lines the last endeavor To find the missing lifeline
Oh how I wish For soothing rain All I wish is to dream again My loving heart Lost in the dark For hope I`d give my everything Oh how I wish For soothing rain Oh how I wish to dream again Once and for all And all for once Nemo my name forevermore
My flower, withered between The pages 2 and 3 The once and forever bloom gone with my sins
Walk the dark path Sleep with angels Call the past for help Touch me with your love And reveal to me my true name
Oh, how I wish...
Nemo sailing home Nemo letting go
Oh, how i wish...
Planet Hell
Denying the lying A million children fighting For lives in strife For hope beyond the horizon
A dead world A dark path Not even crossroads to choose from All the bloodred Carpets before me Behold this fair creation of God
My only wish to leave behind All the days of the Earth An everyday hell of my kingdom come
The 1st rock thrown again Welcome to hell, little Saint Mother Gaia in slaughter Welcome to paradise, Soldier
My 1st cry neverending All life is to fear for life You fool, you wanderer You challenged the gods and lost
Save yourself a penny for the ferryman Save yourself and let them suffer In hope In love This world ain't ready for The Ark Mankind works in mysterious ways
Creek Mary's Blood
Soon I will be here no more You'll hear the tale Through my blood Through my people And the eagle's cry The bear within will never lay to rest
Wandering on Horizon Road Following the trail of tears
White man came Saw the blessed land We cared, you took You fought, we lost Not the war but an unfair fight Sceneries painted beautiful in blood
Wandering on Horizon Road Following the trail of tears Once we were here Where we have lived since the world began Since time itself gave us this land
Our souls will join again the wild Our home in peace 'n war 'n death
Wandering on Horizon Road...
"I still dream every night Of them wolves, them mustangs, those endless prairies The restless winds over mountaintops The unspoilt frontier of my kith 'n kin The hallowed land of the Great Spirit I still believe In every night In every day I am like the caribou And you like the wolves that make me stronger We never owed you anything Our only debt is one life for our Mother It was a good day to chant this song For Her
Our spirit was here long before you Long before us And long will it be after your pride brings you to your end"
The Siren
A lady with a violin playing to the seals Hearken to the sound of calling
Who tied my hands to the wheel? The zodiac turns over me (Come to me) Somewhere there my fate revealed I hear but how will I see
I tied myself to the wheel The winds talk to my sails, not me (Come to me) Somewhere there my fate revealed I hear but how will I see
Dead Gardens
The story behind the painting I drew is already told No more tearstains on the pages of my diary Tired but unable to give up since I'm Responsible for the lives I saved
The play is done The curtain's down
All the tales are told All the orchids gone Lost in my own world Now I care for dead gardens
My song is little worth anymore Time to lay this weary pen aside
The play is done The curtain`s down
"Where are the wolves, the underwater moon The elvenpath, the haven of youth Lagoons of the starlit sea
Have I felt enough for one man's deed? Or is it time to challenge the Ancient of Days And let the virgin conceive"
All the tales...
Romanticide
Godlove and rest my soul With this sundown neverending The feel is gone yet you ain't gonna see me fail I am the decadence of your world I am an eider covered in oil Happy hunting, you double-faced carnivore
Tell me why No heart to cry Hang me high
The music is dead, the amen is said The kiss of faith is what I beg A loving heart `n soul for sale
Tell me why...
Leave me be And cease to tell me how to feel To grieve, to shield myself from evil Leave me be Od of lies is killing me Romanticide Till love do me part
See me ruined by my own creations
Leave me be...
Dead Boy's alive but without sense I need a near-death experience Heart once bold Now turned to stone Perfection my messenger from hell
Wine turns to water Campfires freeze, loveletters burn Romance is lost Lord, let me be wrong in this pain
Temporary pain, eternal shame To take part in this devil's chess game Spit on me, let go, get rid of me And try to survive your stupidity
Ghost Love Score
We used to swim the same moonlight waters Oceans away from the wakeful day
- My fall will be for you - My fall will be for you My love will be in you If you be the one to cut me I will bleed forever
Scent of the sea before the waking of the world Brings me to thee Into the blue memory
- My fall will be for you - My fall will be for you My love will be in you If you be the one to cut me I will bleed forever
Into the blue memory
A siren from the deep came to me Sang my name my longing Still I write my songs about that dream of mine Worth everything I may ever be
The Child will be born again That siren carried him to me First of them true loves Singing on the shoulders of an angel Without care for love 'n loss
Bring me home or leave me be My love in the dark heart of the night I have lost the path before me The one behind will lead me
Take me Cure me Kill me Bring me home Every way Every day Just another loop in the hangman's noose
Take me, cure me, kill me, bring me home Every way, every day I keep on watching us sleep
Relive the old sin of Adam and Eve Of you and me Forgive the adoring beast
Redeem me into childhood Show me myself without the shell Like the advent of May I`ll be there when you say Time to never hold our love
- My fall will be for you - My fall will be for you My love will be in you You were the one to cut me So I'll bleed forever
Kuolema Tekee Taiteilijan
Kerran vain haaveeni nähdä sain En pienuutta alla tähtien tuntenut
Kerran sain kehtooni kalterit Vankina sieltä kirjettä kirjoitan
Luojani, luoksesi anna minun tulla siksi miksi lapseni minua luulee
Sinussa maailman kauneus Josta kuolema teki minusta taiteilijan
Luojani, luoksesi anna minun tulla siksi miksi lapseni minua luulee
Oman taivaan tänne loin Anna minun päästä pois
Higher Than Hope
Time it took the most of me And left me with no key To unlock the chest of remedy Mother, the pain ain`t hurting me But the love that I feel When you hold me near
The hopes were high The choirs were vast Now my dreams are left to live through you
Red Sun rising Drown without inhaling Within, the dark holds hard
Passiontide An angel by my side But no Christ to end this war To deliver my soul from the sword Hope has shown me a scenery Paradise poetry With first snow I`ll be gone
The hopes were high The choirs were vast Now my dreams are left to live through you
Red Sun rising Drown without inhaling Within, the dark holds hard Red Sun rising Curtain falling Higher than hope my cure lies
Your death saved me
Red Sun rising Drown without inhaling Within, the dark holds hard Red Sun rising Curtain falling Higher than hope my cure lies
Red Sun rising Drown without inhaling Within, the dark holds hard Red Sun rising Curtain falling Higher than hope my cure lies
White Night Fantasy
Enchantress came to me and said: Meet me at the lake tonight
I hunmed this song to the white Through the shroud of snow I saw Paradise Peace No more lies
Crestfallen soul Rest for this night Love is here Right here under my wings
I dream of wolves with them I run For me she lengthened the night I am home I am in peace
Crestfallen soul Rest for this night Love is here Right here under my wings

Live To Tell The Tale
A single grain can tip the scale Amidst the burden the scale will prevail Showing what`s worth being here Storyteller by a hearth of stone A white little creature purring me My childhood kingdom gone in time The islands filling my mind with blue The one in speacial, heaven's court
All the joy unforgiven by this task
An errant soul, homeless and foul All gone but the will to Live to tell the tale
The days are filled with anxiety Frustration, one right note a day Where to find a perfect tune Just do the work and take a step back
All the joy unforgiven by this task
An errant soul, homeless and foul All gone but the will to Live to tell the tale
Dark chambers of my mind Locked around the neck of my love None of you understand And it doesn't matter To a broken marionette like me
An errant soul, homeless and foul
An errant soul, homeless and foul All gone but the will to Live to tell the tale
Oh how I hate mykind Have it all Yet wish to die
Not mykind but the kind as you are Saints in Cain's mask I love you I just did

Where Were You Last Night
[Ankie Bagger Cover]
Still Spinning round in my head How I regret everything that I said Why did I tell you to go Saving my pride but losing my soul
I'm here all alone Still wait by the phone The hours go by What else could I do but to cry
I call and I call Just to make things right Have I lost the fight Where were you last night
I beg and I cry I keep asking why Where were you last night Where were you last night
Lost In the dark and my fears If only you saw the tracks of my tears I think I'm losing my mind Where did you go and what did you find
I'm here all alone Still wait by the phone The hours go by What else could I do but to cry
I call and I call Just to make things right Have I lost the fight Where were you last night
I beg and I cry I keep asking why Where were you last night Where were you last night
I call and I call Just to make things right Have I lost the fight Where were you last night
I beg and I cry I keep asking why Where were you last night Where were you last night
[synth solo]
I'm here all alone Still wait by the phone The hours go by What else could I do but to cry
I call and I call Just to make things right Have I lost the fight Where were you last night
I beg and I cry
I call and I call Just to make things right Have I lost the fight Where were you last night
I beg and I cry I keep asking why Where were you last night Where were you last night
Where were you last night Where were you last night

The songwriter's dead. The blade fell upon him Taking him to the white lands Of Empathica Of Innocence Empathica Innocence
"HOME"
The dreamer and the wine Poet without a rhyme A widowed writer torn apart by chains of hell
One last perfect verse Is still the same old song Oh Christ how I hate what I have become
Take me home
Getaway, runaway, fly away Lead me astray to dreamer's hideaway I cannot cry 'cause the shoulder cries more I cannot die, I, a whore for the cold world Forgive me I have but two faces One for the world One for God Save me I cannot cry 'cause the shoulder cries more I cannot die, I, a whore for the cold world
My home was there 'n then Those meadows of heaven Adventure-filled days One with every smiling face
Please, no more words Thoughts from a severed head No more praise Tell me once my heart goes right
Take me home
Getaway, runaway, fly away Lead me astray to dreamer's hideaway I cannot cry 'cause the shoulder cries more I cannot die, I, a whore for the cold world Forgive me I have but two faces One for the world One for God Save me I cannot cry 'cause the shoulder cries more I cannot die, I, a whore for the cold world
"THE PACIFIC"
Sparkle my scenery With turquoise waterfall With beauty underneath The Ever Free
Tuck me in beneath the blue Beneath the pain, beneath the rain Goodnight kiss for a child in time Swaying blade my lullaby
On the shore we sat and hoped Under the same pale moon Whose guiding light chose you Chose you all
"I'm afraid. I'm so afraid. Being raped again, and again, and again I know I will die alone. But loved.
You live long enough to hear the sound of guns, long enough to find yourself screaming every night, long enough to see your friends betray you.
For years I've been strapped unto this altar. Now I only have 3 minutes and counting. I just wish the tide would catch me first and give me a death I always longed for ".
"DARK PASSION PLAY"
2nd robber to the right of Christ Cut in half - infanticide The world will rejoice today As the crows feast on the rotting poet
Everyone must bury their own No pack to bury the heart of stone Now he's home in hell, serves him well Slain by the bell, tolling for his farewell
The morning dawned, upon his altar Remains of the dark passion play Performed by his friends without shame Spitting on his grave as they came
Getaway, runaway, fly away Lead me astray to dreamer's hideaway I cannot cry 'cause the shoulder cries more I cannot die, I, a whore for the cold world Forgive me I have but two faces One for the world One for God Save me I cannot cry 'cause the shoulder cries more I cannot die, I, a whore for the cold world
"Today, in the year of our Lord 2005, Tuomas was called from the cares of the world. He stopped crying at the end of each beautiful day. The music he wrote had too long been without silence.
He was found naked and dead, With a smile in his face, a pen and 1000 pages of erased text."
Save me
"MOTHER & FATHER"
Be still, my son You're home Oh when did you become so cold? The blade will keep on descending All you need is to feel my love
Search for beauty, find your shore Try to save them all, bleed no more You have such oceans within In the end I will always love you
The beginning.
Bye Bye Beautiful
Finally the hills are without eyes They are tired of painting a dead man's face red With their own blood
They used to love having so much to lose Blink your eyes just once and see everything in ruins
Did you ever hear what I told you Did you ever read what I wrote you Did you ever listen to what we played Did you ever let in what the world said Did we get this far just to feel your hate Did we play to become only pawns in the game How blind can you be, don't you see You chose the long road but we'll be waiting
Bye bye beautiful
Jacob's ghost for the girl in white Blindfold for the blind Dead siblings walking the dying earth
Noose around a choking heart Eternity torn apart Slow toll now the funeral bells
"I need to die to feel alive"
Did you ever hear what I told you Did you ever read what I wrote you Did you ever listen to what we played Did you ever let in what the world said Did we get this far just to feel your hate Did we play to become only pawns in the game How blind can you be, don't you see You chose the long road but we'll be waiting
Bye bye beautiful
It's not the tree that forsakes the flower But the flower that forsakes the tree Someday I'll learn to love these scars Still fresh from the red-hot blade of your words
...How blind can you be, don't you see... ...that the gambler lost all he does not have...
Did you ever hear what I told you Did you ever read what I wrote you Did you ever listen to what we played Did you ever let in what the world said Did we get this far just to feel your hate Did we play to become only pawns in the game How blind can you be, don't you see You chose the long road but we'll be waiting
Bye bye beautiful
Amaranth
Baptised with a perfect name The doubting one by heart Alone without himself
War between him and the day Need someone to blame In the end, little he can do alone
You believe but what you see You receive but what you give
Caress the one, the Never-Fading Rain in your heart - the tears of snow-white sorrow Caress the one, the hiding amaranth In a land of the daybreak
Apart from the wandering pack In this brief flight of time we reach For the ones, whoever dare
You believe but what you see You receive but what you give
Caress the one, the Never-Fading Rain in your heart - the tears of snow-white sorrow Caress the one, the hiding amaranth In a land of the daybreak
Reaching, searching for something untouched Hearing voices of the Never-Fading calling
Caress the one, the Never-Fading Rain in your heart - the tears of snow-white sorrow Caress the one, the hiding amaranth In a land of the daybreak
Cadence Of Her Last Breath
Running for her life The dark rain from her eyes still falls Breathtaking butterfly Chose a dark day to live
Save one breath for me
A Loner longing for The cadence of her last breath
Why do I miss someone I never met, with bated breath I lay Seawinds brought her to me A butterfly, mere one-day miracle of life And all the poetry in the world Finally makes sense to me
Save one death for me
A Loner longing for The cadence of her last breath
Put to rest all that's not life Drink for beauty and fill my blank page
Sometimes a dream turns into a dream
A Loner longing for The cadence of her last breath
Master Passion Greed
Who the hell are you to tell me What to do, why to do, why bother Leech in a mask of virtue Such waste, to ever think of you again
Hey Judas, your Christess was our love Hit and run, your will be done Never sorry, never wrong More more more more more
Master passion greed
"Hello. How are you? Let me explain one thing. All for her and more for me Why is it so hard to see? I see no sense in doing this Not enough for me I fuck up everything but let me explain."
Some day you shall flee, Panting and weak
Master passion greed
All within me gone but pain and hope Hoping that the pain would fade away
Greed, your master passion I Feed the mouth that bites me Mammon, opiate of the masses The reek of your lies draws flies
Seek her Seduce her Tame her Blame her Have her Kill her Feast on it all
With awakening the tears will begin To my everlasting shame silence took me
Eva
6:30 winter morn Snow keeps falling, silent dawn A rose by any other name Eva leaves her Swanbrook home A kindest heart which always made Me ashamed of my own She walks alone but not without her name
Eva flies away Dreams the world far away In this cruel children's game There's no friend to call her name Eva sails away Dreams the world far away The Good in her will be my sunflower field
Mocked by man to depths of shame Little girl with life ahead For a memory of one kind word She would stay among the beasts Time for one more daring dream Before her escape, edenbeam We kill with her own loving heart
Eva flies away Dreams the world far away In this cruel children's game There's no friend to call her name Eva sails away Dreams the world far away The Good in her will be my sunflower field
Sahara
A ballad of dark queen echoes through night As he flees the curse of gods, the pharaoh's wrath
1001 nights unseen The philosopher and the queen
Ancient mariner in a sea of sand The burning beauty his tomb to die for
1001 nights unseen The philosopher and the queen Horizon's swarming with death Run!
Heaven has a darkened face Dunes are soaring, as on a chase Caravan of the cursed Chasing him across the waves
May he now rest under aegis of mirage As the sands slowly turn to Elysian fields
1001 nights unseen The philosopher and the queen
Whoever Brings The Night
We seduce the dark with pain and rapture Like two ships that pass in the night You and I, a whore and a bashful sailor Welcome to a sunrise of a dirty mind
All you love is a lie You one-night butterfly Hurt me, be the one Whoever brings the night
The Dark, created to hide the innocent white, the lust of night Eyes so bright, seductive lies Crimson masquerade where I merely played my part Poison dart of desire
All you love is a lie You one-night butterfly Hurt me, be the one Whoever brings the night
Choose a bride Tonight a fantasy for a zombie Hurt me, I love to suffer Your harem's a dream for free
Enter Suck from us and live forever Rotten beauty Will haunt you for a lifetime
Come with me underwater And drown to despise me no more Unholy, unworthy My night is a dream for free
All you love is a lie You one-night butterfly Hurt me, be the one Whoever brings the night
For The Heart I Once Had
Heaven today is but a way To a place I once called home Heart of a child, one final sigh As another love goes cold
Once my heart beat to the rhythm of the falling snow Blackened below, the river now flows A stream of molten virgin snow
For the heart I'll never have For the child forever gone The music flows, because it longs For the heart I once had
Living today without a way To understand the weight of the world Faded and torn, old and forlorn My weak and hoping heart
For the child, for the light For the heart I once had I'll believe and foresee Everything I could ever be
For the heart I'll never have For the child forever gone The music flows, because it longs For the heart I once had
Time will not heal a Dead Boy's scars Time will kill
For the heart I'll never have For the child forever gone The music flows, because it longs For the heart I once had
The Islander
An old man by a seashore At the end of day Gazes the horizon With seawinds in his face Tempest-tossed island Seasons all the same Anchorage unpainted And a ship without a name
Sea without a shore for the banished one unheard He lightens the beacon, light at the end of world Showing the way lighting hope in their hearts The ones on their travels homeward from afar
This is for long-forgotten Light at the end of the world Horizon crying The tears he left behind long ago
The albatross is flying Making him daydream The time before he became One of the world's unseen Princess in the tower Children in the fields Life gave him it all: An island of the universe
Now his love's a memory A ghost in the fog He sets the sails one last time Saying farewell to the world Anchor to the water Seabed far below Grass still in his feet And a smile beneath his brow
This is for long-forgotten Light at the end of the world Horizon crying The tears he left behind so long ago
Last Of The Wilds
(instrumental)
7 Days To The Wolves
The wolves, my love, will come Taking us home where dust once was a man
Is there Life before a Death? Do we long too much and never let in?
Howl 7 days to the wolves Where will we be when they come 7 days to the poison And a place in heaven Time drawing near as they come to take us
This is my church of choice Love's strength standeth in love's sacrifice
For the rest, I have to say to you I will dream like the God And suffer like all the dead children
Howl 7 days to the wolves Where will we be when they come 7 days to the poison And a place in heaven Time drawing near as they come to take us
This is Where heroes And cowards Part ways
Light the fire, feast Chase the ghost, give in Take the road less traveled by Leave the city of fools Turn every poet loose
Meadows Of Heaven
I close my eyes The lantern dies The scent of awakening Wildhoney and dew
Childhood games Woods and lakes Streams of silver Toys of olden days
Meadows of heaven
The flowers of wonder And the hidden treasures In the meadow of life My acre of heaven A 5-year-old winterheart In a place called home Sailing the waves of past
Meadows of heaven
Rocking chair without a dreamer A wooden swing without laughter Sandbox without toy soldiers Yuletide without the Flight
Dreambound for life
Flowers wither, treasures stay hidden Until I see the 1st star of fall
I fall asleep And see it all: Mother's care And color of the kites
Meadows of heaven
Escapist
Who's there knocking at my window? The Owl and the Dead Boy This night whispers my name All the dying children
Virgin snow beneath my feet Painting the world in white I tread the way and lose myself into a tale
Come hell or high water My search will go on Clayborn Voyage without an end
A nightingale in a golden cage That's me locked inside reality's maze Come someone make my heavy heart light Come undone bring me back to life It all starts with a lullaby
Journey homeward bound A sound of a dolphin calling Tearing off the mask of man The Tower my sole guide This is who I am Escapist, paradise seeker Farewell now time to fly Out of sight, out of time, away from all lies
A nightingale in a golden cage That's me locked inside reality's maze Come someone make my heavy heart light Come undone bring me back to life It all starts with a lullaby
(Bonustrack)
Erämaan Viimeinen
Nukkuu korpi, ja nyt, aatoksissain minä matkaa teen Yli metsien, uinuvan veen Kuutar taivaan yön valaisee Maalaa maiseman, pohjoisen siimeksen
Unta onko tää, Vai kuolema jossa palata sinne saan missä hiillos jo luovuttaa lumen alla Kun astun maailmaan, erämaan aikaan
Ensilumi satoi kahdesti Maalasi sieluni taulun
Tää jylhä kauneus ja ääretön yksinäisyys Lapsuuteni metsän, taivaan Kaikuu se haikeus halki tän matkan Aamun tullen yö tarinansa kertoo Jylhä on kauneus ja ääretön yksinäisyyteni Sitä henkeensä halajaa Kehtoni hauta, hautani paikka Erämaan viimeinen on
Minne katosivat muut Suon noidat, neidontornit Ja varjoissa havisevat puut Kielon istutin ikihankeen Ja hiljaisuuden tultua luotin tulevaan
Ensilumi satoi kahdesti Maalasi sieluni taulun
Tää jylhä kauneus ja ääretön yksinäisyys Lapsuuteni metsän, taivaan Kaikuu se haikeus halki tän matkan Aamun tullen yö tarinansa kertoo Jylhä on kauneus ja ääretön yksinäisyyteni Sitä henkeensä halajaa Kehtoni hauta, hautani paikka Erämaan viimeinen on
While Your Lips Are Still Red
Sweet little words made for silence Not talk Young heart for love Not heartache Dark hair for catching the wind Not to veil the sight of a cold world
Kiss while your lips are still red While he`s still silent Rest while bosom is still untouched, unveiled Hold another hand while the hand`s still without a tool Drown into eyes while they`re still blind Love while the night still hides the withering dawn
First day of love never comes back A passionate hour`s never a wasted one The violin, the poet`s hand, Every thawing heart plays your theme with care
Kiss while your lips are still red While he`s still silent Rest while bosom is still untouched, unveiled Hold another hand while the hand`s still without a tool Drown into eyes while they`re still blind Love while the night still hides the withering dawn
