[Music & Words by Tolkki/Lassila]

Why do you stare at me?
It's hard to please when you're
feeling ill at ease
Hey let it go
You have feelings inside let them show

Grim craven mind
Timid all the time
Can't come out of your shell
It's hell

Shame on you
There are so many things that you could do
Hey can't you see?
Love is a stream that endlessly flows in me

Grim craven mind
Timid all the time
Can't come out of your shell
It's hell

It's time to break the ice

[Music & Words by Tolkki/Lassila]

The time is running
It's running so fast that you don't notice
Years are passing by
And you're growing older
What happened to all your dreams?
Did they become true at all?

We cannot undo the deeds of the years
They leave you on your own
With all your deepest fears

Don't look for the future
Don't live in the past
Just take it day by day 'cause life goes fast
The minutes, the hours
The days and the years will fly so
Live still when you have the time

We cannot undo the deeds of the years
They leave you on your own
With all your deepest fears

Wheel of the time
Turns again tonight
Eternally decides our destiny
Wheel of the time
Turns again tonight
Without reason or rhyme

The hands of time

[Words & Music by Tolkki]

He's crawling out from the asylum
Under cover of the night
Insanity of his crazy mind
It's useless for you now to hide
Walking the streets someone's in sight
He's waiting for you in the night
Hiding in the shadows
Hiding in the alleys
He's ready to kill tonight

So lock your doors and hide
And pray your god 'cause you're not alone

Years he spent in the cage
They did not help him at all
Now today with the power of his rage
He's slaughtering people tonight
Walking the streets someone's in sight
He's waiting for you in the night
Hiding in the shadows
Hiding in the alleys
He's ready to kill tonight

So lock your doors and hide
And pray your god 'cause you're not alone

Madness strikes at midnight
Madness strikes at night

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 & Words by Tolkki/Lassila]

Come with me my child
It's gonna take a little while
To teach you the knowledge
Of the ancient rhyme
Fly with me tonight
Through the cosmic sea
It's a mystery

From the thirst for life
You will never keep away
Pleasure of one man
Makes another man a prey
Fly with me tonight
Through the cosmic sea
It's a mystery

The hills have eyes
mind your step you'll better be wise
Or you never rise again
The hills have eyes
never forgive nor compromise
You fail in vain

[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

Hey you, take a look around,
Can you feel the change begin?
Soon it will be too late,
if you don't wake up.
Outside the winds are blowing
and the people are staring so cold.
The look that's in their eyes,
Tells me somethings wrong.

Lead us into the light.

It's so strange,
We have come so far.
Still knowing what will happen,
when we close our eyes.
Is this the hell on earth?
And the heaven is out of our sight,
open your eyes realize,
It's not too late.

Lead us into the light.
