Stratovarius Album

[Music by Tolkki, Words by Kotipelto]

Walking down the path that leads me to my memories
Pacing all the way without a care in my stride
Where are the friends of my yesterday
have they moved on with they lives
Can we still laugh and joke about things like before

There's no need to hide the past that I have left behind
It's a good resource somewhere for me to find
Why am I waiting for someone to reach out
it should be all up to them
keeping in touch ain't that easy but I'll have to try

Where have all the years gone
that's what I am asking now
What have I learnt so far
tell me Father Time - tell me now

Now I understand I'll take from time what I need
And I store it inside it's there for me to find
I can't deny that the years will pass by
but it won't bother me
Coz now I will set out to realize my dream

Where have all the years gone
that's what I am asking now
What have I learnt so far
tell me Father Time - tell me now

[Music & Words by Kotipelto]

Learning by trying it's hard to deny it
while paying for what I used to know
Dreams are deceiving untill I'm achieving
the goals I haven't set too low

Waiting for a new day
to wipe away
the Uncertainty that flows around me
once again to stay

So many choices but so few answers
my time slips away while thinking too much
Whom to believe in they're all just repeating
the same old lies so nice to clutch

Waiting for a new day
to wipe away
the Uncertainty that flows around me
once again to stay

[Rainbow cover]

Danger, danger the Queen's about to kill
There's a stranger, stranger and life about to spill
Oh no move me out of harm
I need a spell and a charm
Fly like the wind
I'm no pawn, so be gone, speed on and on
Kill the king
Tear him down

Kill the king, yeah
Strike him down

Power, power it happens every day
Power, power all along the way
Oh no, move me out of harm
I need a spell and a charm
And fly like the wind
I'm no pawn, so be gone, speed on and on
Kill the king

Treason, treason, the spectre looms again
Treason, reason, the realm is safe and then
Oh no, move away from harm
I need a spell and a charm
Fly like the rainbow
I'm no pawn, so be gone, speed on and on

Kill the king
Tear him down
Kill the king, yeah
Got to take his crown

Kill the king
He'll rule no more
Strike him dead
The people roar

Kill the king, yeah
Take his head
Down, down, down, down
Oh, kill
Oh, kill
Oh, oh

[Music by Tolkki, Words by Tolkki/Lassila]

I saw it in a dream
the day that changed our history
I still can hear the screams
swear it was no mystery
In the heat of the blast
Houses fell down into the ground
This happened so fast
Mankind disappeared without sound

Now the world lives in shadow of atomic fear
Can we win the fight for peace or will we disappear?
Future Shock

I saw it on the screen
The day that changed our lives and history
There goes our dream
Nuked into the sky don't know why
In the heat of the blast
Watch the beauty of the mushroom cast
It won't take long
You won't live till the end of this song

now the ...
