1. Dead Promises

Why have you wasted the time drown in hideous nights?
Oh Why have you woken the thoughts of a paranoid mind?

I’ve seen the walls collapsing
Breaking down
Countless times
The one that keeps on pulling you under
Do you know him at all?

Dead promises
Games you play will kill your dreams
I’m still here where you belong
Stop running from the truth
Dead promises
I can’t change what you believe
Promises mean everything
Life won’t look back for you

Why can’t you see that your powers will weaken and fall?
Oh why, you seem to forget what you make us recall?

I’ve seen the walls collapsing
Breaking down
Countless times
The one that keeps on pulling you under
Do you know him at all?

Dead promises
Games you play will kill your dreams
Promises mean everything
Life won’t look back for you

Dead promises

2. Goodbye Stranger

Let it go, let it go
Why crave to hold your breath?
Take it slow, take it slow
There is no life in death
It is time, it is time
To leave the past behind
And face yourself alone in the raw

Is it so, is it so
You can’t trust your wings
Who will know? Who will know?
What tomorrow brings
When you risk it all
You’ll get a chance
To kill the pain

I took the dust and gave my whole
I poured the gold into your soul
I found the beauty in the storm

Going where the sun don’t shine at all
Diving through the darkest thoughts unknown
Free fall your heart, loose everything
Old things depart, skies opening
Goodbye stranger

Can you see? Can you see?
Your ill resistance break
Let it be, let it be
What was asleep is awake
Carry on, carry on
Your solitary quest
The journey once started will never rest

How it feels, how it feels
For you to breath again
Keep it real, keep it real
The rush of gold in your veins
When you risked it all
You got the chance
The pain is gone

I took the dust and gave my whole
I poured the gold into your soul
I found the beauty in the storm

Going where the sun don’t shine at all
Diving through the darkest thoughts unknown
Free fall your heart, loose everything
Old things depart, skies opening
Goodbye stranger

Going where the sun don’t shine at all
Diving through the darkest thoughts unknown

Going where the sun don’t shine at all
Diving through the darkest thoughts unknown
Free fall your heart, loose everything
Old things depart, skies opening
Goodbye stranger

3. Tears In Rain

Dominos fall
In a house that’s empty
Still of the silence
Is deafening
Not even a trace
Our existence erased
By this quiet game

I wish I could feel
But I can’t remember
What was forever
Is never more
There’s no monuments
Just the fading sense
Of what came before

We are gone
Nothing of us remains
Like tears in rain
Who we are
All of it washed away
Like tears in rain

A voice in my head
Now it must be madness
Haunting the halls
Everywhere I go
The pictures replaced
With a different face
One that I don’t know

How could the memories be so real
We move on, but the time won’t heal
So I give what I get
Just before I forget
How our fates we’re sealed

We are gone
Nothing of us remains
Like tears in rain
Who we are
All of it washed away
Like tears in rain

Like tears in rain
We are gone
Nothing of us remains
Like tears in rain

I will write
Another storyline
The circle of love will shine
We’ll share the daylight wishing for the nights

First time
When I met your eyes
Sublime
The last paradise
We’ve seen our
Shangri-la
But for now

We are gone
Nothing of us remains
Like tears in rain
Who we are
All of it washed away
Like tears in rain

Like tears in rain
We are gone
Nothing of us remains
Like tears In rain

4. Railroads

Hard to believe in, strikes like a bad sin
Life without meaning is no life at all
Dreaming victorious, death to be glorious
Conquering new worlds further than before

The violin player in her red gown
Cuts the strings to life while golden
Feathered keys are struggling
Through the lightning path in black and white
Frozen tiger statues round us
Arbeit macht frei never back
Your eyes without a face chasing the medals in disguise

Come show me the love that fills your heart
You’ll see this moment will redeem the past
And shine tomorrow railroads with your light

Facing the darkness, escaping that madness
I traveled a long way to find out what is near

Rings of fire, monastery
Laurel wreath, the bells of glory
Eagle rising, camels fading
Ancient martial arts we are floating
Spiral keeps on round and round
Deep into the swamp we are boating
Latin veritas and Ichiban sharing the sky

Come show me the love that fills your heart
You’ll see this moment will redeem the past
And shine tomorrow railroads with your light

5. You And I

In silence and the darkness speaks again
Of a pain that never ends,
But it will cos I’m here still, I forgot
We can be stronger than sin
I used up every doubt to let you in
And this time out of light I see everything

It’s how you make me breathe at night when I’m feeling small
How you break it down when I’m against the wall
Now I learn how a heart can ache
When the levee breaks and what it takes

For you and I
We fall apart to find the truth is our love survives
When every missing part of you makes me wanna cry
For you and I

Can you feel the pain drip, drip down like rain?

To every part of me that can’t let go
In all forgiveness, I forgive it all
And I break if I ache, but then you know me

It’s how you get me calm when the world’s running up my veins
When the pressure is high, driving me insane
Carry me through when I fall again
How you stay the same I let it rain

For you and I
We fall apart to find the truth is our love survives
When every missing part of you makes me wanna cry
For you and I

Can you feel the pain drip, drip down like rain?

When I can see the moon it’s crystal clear
A wish for everything can’t disappear
And I will cos I’m here still just forgot

You and I
We fall apart to find the truth is our love survives
When every missing part of you makes me wanna cry
For you and I

Can you feel the pain drip, drip down like rain?
Wherever we are drip, drip just like rain

6. The Golden Chamber

On paikka missä aika on lakkaamaton
Siel’ unelmissa yö on loputon
Kuin palan taivasta sain syliini kanssasi sun
Katosi usvaan katkeruus kadotetun

7. Spirits Of The Sea

I watched you go at wave-beaten shore
where wind stood still
Felt grey and cold the moment you went away from me
Now dreams are sleeping with your quiet destiny
Underway to dwell the longer on your memory

Meet me at the hour of dawn
Think of us after you’re gone
Wait for me at the edge of the sky
Promise me our love won’t die
Fear of men no longer lives
Let the sunlight dry our tears
I’ll go

The Ashrays chanting with their velvet silver hair
Nocturnal, luring choirs will live to tell the tale
The quest of overwhelming fortune came to an end
Burning inside of us remain their eternal flames

Never let them go
Where the stars can’t reach,
living infinite

They’ll always know
Kept in secrecy
44 and me
Spirits of the sea

Never break their freedom in supreme tranquillity
Seeking for truth
My brothers of the blue

8. Silent Masquerade

Red arises in the sky of Sunday morning
Washing the face of the mountain by the sea
I am the present without knowledge, without warning
The child in me will never cease to be

Is not the future we see, endless daze of fantasies
The ocean whispering me time really doesn’t exist
Now I’m drifting away, imprisoned by our memories
Love was just a word until you gave it meaning

Go on and find the prince of crime
Temptation keeps you satisfied
Distort your sight I suffocate
In your silent masquerade
Leave me as victim of your lies
Salvation cannot help you hide
Won’t hear me cry I suffocate
In your silent masquerade

No one can tell the games that we play will last forever
No matter we tried, we never got a chance

9. Serene

I’m gonna capture the silence
Dress up in your fear
And harbor your ocean
Surrender nothing to violence
My promise is dear
From now ’til it’s over

I am the face in the mirror
Telling you all will turn out right
In every step of the way
I follow your lead into the night

Dream high
And I’ll open up the sky
Stay true
It’s all inside of you
Black skies, light up diamonds in your eyes
And break through
I live inside of you
Just fly
Over the night
And you’ll soon wake up to see
Everything’s serene

There are so many confusions
To read in as signs
I’ll stop all the madness
I will dissolve the illusions
I’ll give you my time
So you take it slowly

I am the face in your mirror
I’m telling you, all will turn out fine
With every step of the way
I’ll battle them all, across the line

10. Shadow Play

Looking at the mirror, asking questions with old, weary eyes
Once a girl who had no name dressed as an angel in disguise
From the corner of her bedroom light illuminates
Crawling shadows, cut out silhouettes
With the darkness, a dancing marionette

Smiled away with such a beauty ever seen before
Drowned by rain of thorns and petals falling at her curtain call
This mortal coil year after year recalled a sad charade
Like a shadow play we can’t forget
In the darkness, a crying marionette

Make me believe
I must go one
Life is a warning
Don’t want to risk it anymore
I want to leave
This place so wrong
It left me terrified to lose
All I am living for

Alone, imprisoned by the echoes of the empty hall
She made a deal with the enemy and let her fences fall
From the dust she build a door to frame new memories
Once a shadow, dancing with her fears
Lights the darkness, now the puppeteer

Make me believe
I must go one
Life is a warning
Don’t want to risk it anymore
I want to leave
This place so wrong
It left me terrified to lose
All I am living for

There’s a world inside we are holding the keys
One day at a time not trying to please
Tell me of anything that is lasting forever
You are your thoughts
What are we waiting for?

Make me believe
I must go one
Life is a warning
Don’t want to risk it anymore
I want to leave
This place so wrong
It left me terrified to lose
All I am living for

I want to leave
This place so wrong
It left me terrified to lose
All I am living for
Make me believe
I must go one
Life is a warning
Don’t want to risk it anymore
