[Music & Words by Tolkki]

I have been sailing across the oceans
flying across the blue sky
Without never finding the answer
the answer to the 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

Chasing Shadows, Chasing shadows
Chasing Shadows, all your life


. . .



[Music & Words by Tolkki]

Sign of the times and writings on the wall
they show me it's 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 thirty eight
oh won't we ever learn
This time is't 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 thins 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


. . .



[Words & Music by 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 to the sand
And who is to take the food away
from the children's hand
We all could be friends now
and it's not a crime
But we have to be quick now
because we don't have 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


. . .



[Music by 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


. . .



[Music & Words by Tolkki]

Let me take you to the far away 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


. . .



[Music & Words by 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,
show us the way to reality.
No more injustice or cruelty.
Save us, we are the future.
Lead us into the better world,
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 fight, with me.

Save us, we are the future.
Lead us into the better world,
show us the way to reality.
No more injustice or cruelty.
Save us, we are the future.
Lead us into the better world,
show us the way to reality
injustice is all gone.

[Words & Music by Tolkki]

Tears of Ice falling down my cheeks
forming a lake in it's surface
I see you face and I watch it till 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 drop 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 you 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


. . .



[Music & Words by 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 allright 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 signs of light anywhere I am going in sane
Now I am leaving this life
No hope left I want to die


. . .



[Music & Words by Tolkki]

What the hell is going on
Skijumpers 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

Everything costs so much nowadays
An 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


. . .



[Music & Words by Tolkki/Lassila]

I'm walking on a thin ice
Lying paralyzed
There's staying there's 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

[No lyrics]

[Music & Words by Tolkki]

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 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 no nothing at all
the sun is blinding my eyes
The pain I feel in my head
I think I 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


. . .



[Music & Words by Tolkki]

I worked so hard to get my aim
Pulled out wrong card is this my last game
Too fast too son you know it takes time
Hasty deeds spoilt the chances of mine

I'm burning inside outside seems all right
Try not to think about it much
It's hard to say when I will play againg

Shattered, Shattered my hands are shattered
Shattered, Shattered my life is shattered

I'm dressed to kill and ready to score
Third pain pill and there's pain no more
I can't break out, out of these walls
Walls that sometimes the skull is caled

I'm burning inside outside seems all right
Try not to think about it much
It's hard to say when I will play againg

Shattered, Shattered my hands are shattered
Shattered, Shattered my life is shattered


. . .



[Music & Words by 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

Concider that this world could be free from all this hatred
There would be no borders no laws of anykind yeah

Still mankind is falling, planning it's 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
