[Music:Tolkki/:Kotipelto]

Again I see you standing there watching me.
Your gaze, those eyes are tantalizing openly, inviting meto get close to you,
can't help myself.
There's fascination in the air.
I try to fight this strong sensation but there's no chance to escape
from this temptation.
Feels like I've known you before, repeating phrases,
but I yearn for something more.
I know I can't stay by your side forever,
but I know I won't forget your beauty,
my Black Diamond.


. . .



[Music & Words by Tolkki/Lassila]

Danger zone
I look into the mirror see my face again
I hear myself preaching
You are getting bold
Growing old
Skin turns cold

You're to blame
But I will find the way to be myself again
I break the mirror with a noise
Stop preaching me teaching me
leave me be

There's no way to stop me now
My end is in sight
I reach for the light
Tonight

Twilight time
It's twilight time
Reaching for a morning light
Twilight time


. . .



[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

[another japanese bonus]

Now it is thome for you to close your eyes
They've seen much pain it's slowly filling your mind
Pretty as they are but now so pale
You better leave all your worries far behind

Not long ago when you had the Fire
Burning inside of you brighter than any flame
You were the one that I believed in
Keeping our hopes up high where are you now?
Where do you aim?

Let mr take you there
To the place you know
Why don't you Dream With Me
The answers will be found

No it is time to open your eyes again
See how the sorrows have disappeared faded away
I am right here waiting for your pace
Through the day

Let me take...


. . .



[Music:Tolkki/:Tolkki]

Late at night I find myself again wondering and watching tv.
I can't believe what's on the screen, something that I wouldn't like to see.
Many rare species will perish soon and we'll be short on food.
Why do we have to be so selfish, we've got to change our attitude.
I know that I am no the only one that's worried,
why don't we all wake up, and realize.
Like the birds in the sky we are flying so high,
without making any kind of sacrifice.
We've got so little time to undo this crime or we'll lose our Paradise.
It seems to me that there's no sense at all, nobody cares it's always the same.
Mother nature's crying out in pain I know we're the one's to blame.


. . .



[Words & Music by Tolkki/Lassila]

Out to the light from the mist
From the shadows I go
Facing the new world the odd things
The places unknown
Far away I sail away today

Seeing a new face impression the moment
The thought
Unarmed and naked defendless
My mind is caught
Far away it sails away to stay

Out 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


. . .



[Words & Music by Tolkki]

I stand alone in the darkness
the winter of my life came so fast
memories go back to my childhood
to days I still recall

Oh how happy I was then
there was no sorrow there was no pain
walking through the green fields
sunshine in my eyes

I'm still there everywhere
I'm the dust in the wind
I'm the star in the northern sky
I never stayed anywhere
I'm the wind in the trees
would you wait for me forever ?


. . .



[Japan bonus Track]

[Music & Words by Tolkki]

Shining there in the sky light our way across the land
Black clouds in fromt of you face fading into the haze
In this prison of mine my soul lies in despair

My mind wanders through time tell me what is my crime
What is behind velvet lies heart as cold as the ice
in this prison of mine my soul lies in despair
Won't you set me free now I have to leave


. . .



[Music:Tolkki/:Kotipelto]

I hear footsteps closing in I recognize them from my early days.
The times are different the image remains the same
repeating back flashes remembering the name, approaching visions of things
I can't recall, a familiar smike awakes the pain
unkept promises, the night awaits, the act of confidence
The kiss of Judas I feel the lips on my cheek
The kiss of Judas hold me once again
in your privage chamber, you're all alone.
the well earned silver pieces falling to the floor
the flame of the candle casting movement to the wall
your eyes filled with guilt keeps staring at the door
Approaching visions of things. I can't recall
A familiar smile awakes the pain
unkept promises, the night awaits, the act of confidence
The kiss of Judas I feel the lips on my cheek
The kiss of Judas hold me once again
unkept promises, the night awaits, the act of confidence
The kiss of Judas I feel the lips on my cheek
The kiss of Judas hold me once again
unkept promises, the night awaits, the act of confidence
The kiss of Judas I feel the lips on my cheek
The kiss of Judas hold me once again

[Tolkki/Tolkki-Kotipelto]

I'm waiting for the rain now
To settle the dusty air
Clearing up my emotions
Facing it all if I dare

I've been thinking
I've been trying
But I've always been denying
Wasted days are still inside of me
It's time to set them free

Why don't we see what is going on?
There are not so many years to be wasted
Until the damage is done and the beauty is gone
Save Our Souls
What is the price that we pay?
Save Our Souls
Do we have nothing to say?


. . .



[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


. . .



[Words & Music by Tolkki/Kotipelto]

Once again I try to make things work
facing all the power of society
Searching all the answers of the life
I'll never make it on my own
Was I meant to fail everytime
Seems to me thats my destiny
Is this all that's left to me
Confusion and bad memories

But now my time has come
No more running in the dark
I want much more than this
I really want it all

Against the wind we run
to every place under the sun
We've got so much power inside
We will never give up
Against the wind we go
towards the new shore
together we'll forget the sorrow
it's forever gone


. . .



[Music by Tolkki, Words by Kotipelto]

Today is just an other day
of my life too short to live
I should have somekind of meaning
a destiny to believe in
before I go to sleep

I find some pictures of a time
when everything was still so fine
although the years have passed by
I will give it all I have inside...everything

I'm away lost in my thoughts
everyday my life goes by
at the speed of light


. . .



[Tolkki]

These empty days are filling me with pain
After I left it seems my life is only rain
My heart is longing to the better times
When everything was still so fine

I wonder why it happens so fast
You give your heart away knowing it might not last
I'm still here waiting for the rain to fall
And to see you once again

4000 Rainy Nights
4000 Nights I'd be with you
4000 Rainy Nights with you

I keep your memory in my heart
You give me hope when everything is so dark
That thing nobody can take away
Forever in me

4000 Rainy...


. . .



[Music by Tolkki, Words by Kotipelto]

Throwing my dreams out of my mind
casting them into the sky
canceling tasks I've delayed for so long
now it's do or die

I can't be seen I can't be heard
but I am here and I am wondering

Will the sun rise tomorrow
will it light up my sky
can I wake up with no sorrow awaiting
Will the sun rise tomorrow
will I still see the dawn
and not worry 'bout the future anymore

At the end of each day I promise myself
I'd better start to live
coz sooner or later I'll find out
there's so much I can give
I can't be seen I can't be heard
but I am here and I am wondering

Will the sun rise tomorrow
will it light up my sky
can I wake up with no sorrow awaiting
will the sun rise tomorrow
will I still see the dawn
and not worry 'bout the future anymore
