1. Intro

[Music and lyrics by Tony Kakko]

Well, well. How are you?

It truly makes the most beautiful music
Everything it has to give

It's everywhere hiding the listener
Without it I could not live
...Silence...


2. Weballergy

[Music and lyrics by Tony Kakko]

We only have one candle
To burn down to the handle
No matter what they say
If you live like a man, You live in tales you tell

To rage and run like a fool
You need no brain, your best tool
Stay put and as they say
Live like a man, the only way you can

You let the phone line bring it home to you
The life, the lies, the dreams
You cannot see the real thing underneath
- Naked truth revealed

You type your name on one row
To get dosed-up tomorrow
You live in a CC dream, with your machine
It's your goal supreme

You think you have it all now
The wisdom, power, know-how
Can't even think you're wrong
This is the way the brain of a male is made

You let the phone line bring it home to you
The life, the lies, the dreams
You cannot see the real thing underneath
- Naked truth revealed

[Chorus:]
If you live, you will die
You won't live forever stuck in time
Ebb and flow, push and tow
You must keep it real to find her

[Solos]

You let the phone line bring it home to you
The life, the lies, the dreams
Can't even see the real thing underneath
- Naked truth revealed

[Chorus]

If you live, you will die... stuck in time
Ebb and flow, push and tow
You must keep it real to find her!


3. Kingdom For A Heart

[Music and lyrics by Tony Kakko]

What the hell are you standing there for,
Expecting me to help you, when I'm down myself
Waiting my saviour, my world is flooding over,
There's no room for me, I can't breathe,
I would give a kingdom for one more day

I'd give - a kingdom
For one more day as a king of your world
I'd give a kingdom, for just one more day - hey!

[Solos]

What the hell am I waiting here for,
Expecting you to come and give away your life
Just for a moment of my time, have a hole where I should have a heart,
I'm made of wood, I'm falling apart,
I would give a kingdom if I only had you

I'd give - a kingdom
For one more day as a kind of your world
I'd give a kingdom, if I had a heart

[Chorus:]
I'd give it all for a heart
if I was a King I would give away my kingdom
Treasures and crowns wouldn't mean a thing
If I only had a heart, if I only had a heart...

[Solos]

Now I know I will never love you,
I'm a man without a heart,
I'm not allowed to feel human feelings
I'm king of the land, I'm a ruler of seas,
I'd give it away in a moment.
If I only had one moment

I'd give - a kingdom
For one more day as a king of your world
I'd give a kingdom, if I had a heart

I'd give it all for a heart
if I was a King I would give away my kingdom
Treasures and crowns wouldn't mean a thing
If I only had a heart

[Chorus x2]

[Solos]


4. Sing In Silence

[Music and lyrics by Tony Kakko]

You were daddy's girl nice and sweet
Never in trouble mommy's honey
Little child who just couldn't see
The pressure from her so called friends
Was simply too much

The monkey slowly climbed on her back
Offering an aid for her pain
Giving love and care
No-one cared, no-one cared...

Fragile like a rose on the snow
Eating all your strength and your money
Living in the shade day and night
Never letting sunshine in your eyes like before

Cannot shake the monkey off your back
Did I see a spark on your eye
Was it just the last light of hope
That died, hope that died

"Forgive me, Father, my daily sin..."

How can I forgive you, never leave you
You know that if you live like, you will die like
Haven of Emotion, Mournful Ocean
Heiress of the Evening Sings in silence
"I need to have now, my daily sin..."

For all your life I prayed for time
To show you where the light lies
Now this is the end
One rose for the memory of the innosence...

[Solos]

"I know, my Father, I cannot win..."

Never will forgive you, never leave you
You know that if you live like, you will die like
How can I erase your pain and aid you
When Death wants to kiss you and you want kiss Him back...


5. False News Travel Fast

[Music and lyrics by Tony Kakko]

I Look out the Window, I see the sun in the sky, for now,
it is not for me
Stories of old times, Black Book of Lies with no reason nor rhymes
No secrets, no disguise

Colour of the jealousy that hangs over thee
Why don't you believe, You still do not know me

[Chorus:]
Books of true tales,
Mirrors of tragedy
Remorseful and pale
As always these news travel fast

Walking cross snowfields, how can I trust in this path I leave
fading behind me
Pleading not guilty. It's in the nature of humankind
Installed in a manchild

Life can - do it in many ways, toss dirt on your face
But I am your man, and for you I do all I can

[Chorus]

[Solos]

Standing on the station, watching your train slowly disappear
I'm only shell of a man, I thought you knew who I am...

[Solos]

But go ahead and blame the fool
You have beliefs that aren't true
I have not lived the life you read from

[Chorus]

[Solos]

Why do you keep me in the agony?
"The Book of true tales"
How can you hate and keep me in this agony?
"The Mirror of tragedy"
I haven't lied, I haven't cheated!
"The Book of true tales"
What do you think? What do you see when you look in
"The Mirror of tragedy"

And I'm still your man, and for you I do all I can

[Chorus x2]

My life is no game
It's a real shame the false news travel fast


6. Last Drop Falls

[Music and lyrics by Tony Kakko]

"Nothing is over until the Last Drop Falls"

When I'm looking in your eyes
Everything seems to fade away
After all these years we had do I know you now
Have I trusted blindly in your love, too many times

You said: "Hey, my love, I'm sorry but we can't go on 'cause
I'm in love with someone else"
Tell me, what do you want me to say
When you treat me this way

Oh I love you, maybe
And I hope it goes away
Oh, how I want you daily
I know it's gonna stay

You are so self satisfied
Always ready for a ride
Double crossing, lousy cheat, love you anyway
You have warm and tender devils soul, you are so low

I can hear you say: "I'm sorry, should we still go on,
I'm not in love with that someone else"
Tell me, what do you want me to say
When you treat me this way

Oh I love you, maybe?
And I hope it goes away
Oh, how I want you daily
Tell me now that...

[Chorus:]
I have found the whore in you
Why can't I tell you no
Time will show, the last word is for me
If you fail to see the problem we have, one room full of walls
Jar of love isn't dry until the last drop falls

[Guitar Solo]

The moment I will step aside, you're ready for another ride
Walking in the cool night air without underwear
You have red light burning in your soul, I've seen the glow

In every dream I have I say: "I'm not in love with you"
But every day I say I do
You have messed with my head so many times
Forced me to love you (spoken)

Now that...

[Chorus:]
I have found the whore in you
why Can't I tell you no
Time will show, the last word is for me
If you fail to see the problem we have, one room full of walls
I will try until the last drop falls

(Now that...)

[Chorus:]
I have found the whore in you
Why can't I tell you no?
Time will show, the last word is for me
If you fail to see the problem we have, one room full of walls
I will try until the last drop falls...


7. Respect The Wilderness

[Music and lyrics by Tony Kakko]

Winter in here ain't as cold as they say
We have nature, yes, we know the way
Accommodation in the lap of the nature
Can give you a moving response,
If you have the time...

Violate the law of the wild, see her lose her temper
Drink the wine from her stream
Have a time, she's there for thee

Build the campfire in a place you know safe
And then see that you put it out right
Can you see trail of garbage in there
Maybe not, and that is a sign to follow

Violate the law of the wild, see her lose her temper
Drink the wine from her stream
Have a time, she's there for thee

[Chorus:]
You are still the number one
Wilderness, my soul
We may have or lose it all
Respect The Wilderness, respect the life
Save the nature for your unborn child

[Keyboard And Guitar Solos]

Summertime we have night with no night
The winter she will hide the light
Over the hills, hear the call of the wild
You have yearning to get there, Lapland, madness

Violate the law of the wild, see her lose her temper
Drink the wine from her stream
Have a time, she's there for thee

[Chorus x2]


8. Fullmoon

[Music and lyrics by Tony Kakko]

Sitting on a corner all alone,
staring from the bottom of his soul,
watching the night come in from the window

It'll all collapse tonight, the fullmoon is here again
In sickness and in health, understanding so demanding
It has no name, there's one for every season
Makes him insane to know

Running away from it all
"I'll be safe in the cornfields", he thinks
Hunted by his own,
again he feels the moon rising on the sky

Find a barn which to sleep in, but can he hide anymore
Someones at the door, understanding too demanding
Can this be wrong, it's love that is not ending
Makes him insane again

[Chorus:]
She should not lock the open door
(run away run away, run way)
Fullmoon is on the sky and He's not a man anymore
She sees the change in Him but can't
(run away run away, run away)
See what beccame out of her man...

Fullmoon

Swimming across the bay,
the nit is gray, so calm today
She doesn't wanna wait.
"We've gotta make the love complete tonight..."

In the mist of the morning he cannot fight anymore
Thousands moon or more, he's been howling
Knock on the door, and scream that is soon ending
Mess on the floor again...

[Chorus]

See what became out of that man

[Solos]

[Chorus]

She should not lock the open door
Full moon is on the sky and he's not a man anymore
No, no, no
Oh, what became out of this man?


9. The End Of This Chapter

[Music and lyrics by Tony Kakko]

[Conversation In Phone:]
[Beep, beep]
Hello?

Well, well, how are you?

Ah, who is this?

Who do you think this is?

Stop it, who is this?

You know very well who I am
You almost got away from me, didn't you?

Oh, my god
You can't be, you can't be...

[Hahahahaha...]
[End Of Conversation In Phone]

[Chapter One]

I gave you my time
I gave you my whole life
I gave you my love, every dime
They told me it was... a crime

Do you remember?
Or did it all go in vain...

[Chapter Two]

I stood in the light, I sat in your coalmine
The promise they made, I should keep?
Make sure that we would never meet

I can't remember
How can I be so vain?

Tell me that past times won't die...
Tell me that old lies are alive

[Chapter Three]

Across darkened skies, I travelled without a light
I sank in the well of my mind
Too deep, never to be found

I can't remember...
How could you be so vain...

Tell me that past times won't die...
Tell me that old lies are alive
Love that expired too long time ago
Kills me, it thrills me...

[Chapter Four]

You have new love and
It looks good on you
I have never wished you dead, yet.

You can now have all the things I could never give to you
Look out the window "c'est moi"...

[Solos]

[Chapter Five]

I'm sorry, I am here
I'm not sure if it should bring you fear
I whisper in your ear
Why is he here?

[Chapter Six]

While you are sleeping, I steal your ear ring
Light you one candle, this anger I handle

They said I won't find you, but now I'm beside you
I'm not all that stable
You should know by know that you are mine...

Tell me that old lies are alive

I tell you that past times won't die...
I tell you that old lies are alive
Love due to expire too long time ago
Kills me, it will kill you...too
Kill me, please kill me before


10. The Power Of One

[Japanese Bonus Track]
[Music and lyrics by Tony Kakko]

("My father's land, my mothers tongue
Mislead me, so shamelessly
For many years I misbelieved
The hatred is the path for me")

Father I have killed many angels,
I think.
I will now walk in the sea.
I hope you will someday forgive me
Please moor
my empty boat on a pier

I can blame for the blue blood that runs in my veins.
But I seem to forget that we are all the same.

[Guitar solo]

In your own blaze of hate you've spawn a fear in many lifes
You've taken action thinking it was all said on the sings.
You cannot heal the feeling burning deep inside your spine
You now collapse, cave in revealing scabby marks of life

Mother I've seen too much, I hate to live my life.
Forgot every word you told me, stubborn little child, (angel of your life)
I have to find my Eden now, the gates I left behind.
But the pain will remain.
No power to gain.

Now I have time to dwell on, self awareness, dreadful crime.
I saw the colors too bright, not knowing that I was blind.
I slayed a man who took a chance and drank the forbidden wine.
The map I draw reveals that I have been complete, machine, in team.

Father I've seen too much, I hate to live my life.
Forgot every word you told me, stubborn little child, (angel of your life)
I have to find my Eden now, the gates I left behind.
The pain will remain.
No power to gain.

[Piano solo]

Mother where's your son.
When has this begun?
Who has been the fool?

No one was born to be a servant or a slave.
Who you tell me the color of the rain?
In the world that we live on, the lies said and done
They can well overrun
the power of one.

[Guitar solo]

No one was born to be a servant or a slave.
Who you tell me the color of the rain?
In the world that we live on, the lies said and done
They can well overrun
The power of one.

To live and let die
To give hope and take life
Is that what you're here for?

To think you are right
To make sure it won't fly
Is a making of a hate crime

In the homes of the brave,
In the homes of the land slaves,
We are all the same

I need to believe.
There's more than the eye can see
All colors of rainbow.

[Keyboard and guitar solo]

No one was born to be a slave
Seek the past and place the blame
Tell me the color of the rain
No one was born to be a master

In the land we live, we die
praise the oneness, praise the lie
To bind a web around the faker
We will need a true
Rainmaker

No one was born to be a slave
Seek the past and place the blame
Tell me the color of the rain
No one was born to be a master

In the land we live, we die
Praise the oneness, praise the lie
To bind a web around the faker
We will need a true
Rainmaker

"Children of Abel, Children of Cain
Can live in harmony, without shame
The keys that I grant thee, The Sacret Land
Are dry desert sand on the palm of your hand
Without the water, the wisdom of past
Will run through your fingers, forgotten so fast
Thus now when I leave you, I'm truly blind
This blindness, this blessing, the hope of mankind..."


11. Replica

[Music and lyrics by Tony Kakko]

I'm home again, I won the war, and now I am behind
your door. I tried so hard to obey the law, see the
meaning of it all. Remember me? Before the war.
I'm the man who lived next door. Long ago...

As you can see, when you look at me, I'm pieces of
what I used to be. It's easier if you don't see me
standing on my own two feet. I'm taller when I sit
here still, you ask are all my dreams fulfilled.
They made me a heart of steal, the kind them bullets
cannot see

[Chorus:]
Nothing's what it seems to be,
I'm a replica, I'm a replica
Empty shell inside of me
I'm not myself, I'm a replica of me...

[Keyboard and guitar solo]

The light is green, my slate is clean, new life to fill
the hole in me. I had no name, last December, Christmas
Eve I can't remember. I was in a constant pain, I saw
your shadow in a rain. I painted all your pigeons red,
I wish I had stayed home instead.

[Chorus]

Are you gonna leave me now, when it is all over
Are you gonna leave me, is my world now over...

[Keyboard and guitar solo]

Raising from the place I've been, and trying to keep
my home base clean. Now I'm here and won't go back believe.

I fall asleep and dream a dream, I'm floating in a
silent dream. No-one placing blame on me
But nothing's what it seems to be, yeah.

[Chorus x4]

Home again, won the war, now I am behind the door
Tried so hard to obey the law, see the meaning of this all
Remember me? Before the war...
I'm the man who lived...


12. My Land

[Music and lyrics by Tony Kakko]

My own land has closed ots gates on me
All alone in world, it's scaring me

I am here to prove you wrong
I'm accused of something I live for

In my dreamland, there's some who understands
A friendly soul, trusting life in my hands

Yes, I gave it all I can
Now it's invaded by a stranger

[Chorus:]
Keep in mind what you have heard today
You might find that you're not so brave
Are you man enough, carry the load all alone
When other have your own

[Guitar solo]

My old land is but a pile of sand
Cold and bare but something still is there

I am here to claim my land
You can't keep me away forever

[Chorus]

(Hey! Hey! ...)

I'm a true patriot, you are my land,
you have my soul, you have all I had
Now I am here, and I want it all back

In my dreams, I climb the hills I see
and let a gentle breeze lead me to
plains I once have seen and
Clear blue sky, I swim in lakes I find
I build a house right there
that you can't take away

I am here to claim my land
you can't keep me away, forever, ever

[Chorus]

Are you man enough, carrying the load all alone
When others have your own?


13. Black Sheep

[Music and lyrics by Tony Kakko]

In love with the maiden, The flower of winter
Lowbrow children, in grove of the inland
How many times heart's gone thru the grinder
wherever you look there's a painful reminder
Singing a love song, words of a stranger
The howling miller, never to face her

[Chorus:]
Temple of the evil, Temple of the weak
no one knows how bad he feels
Late-night innuendo, tempetation of the key
"Live with the Blacksheep, live with me"

[Solos]

Insanity, blessing for those born to hate you
Burned by the embers of love, it is so cruel
Howling the night, for sun of the midnight
Serving the people, condemned you in the eternal night

of the lost song, words of the stranger
The howling miller, never to face her

[Chorus]

[Solos]

[Chorus x2]

[Solos]


14. Wolf And Raven

[Music and lyrics by Tony Kakko]

Wolf And (Raven)!
Wolf And Raven!

[Solos]

Grant me a wish, my master
Take heed of me
I have been loyal servant
Heartfelt, humble

Gave up - what belongs to me
Gave up my greed
My self-examination
Made me see, to be me

I am now like Judas, done
Ashamed of what I've become
Fear for life I wear as a ring
Bask in your favor, I will kill the king

You say I am invincible
I cannot die,
I know, but anyway
The words, they maim me

Grant me a wish, my master
Compassion, please
I'd like be a human
...maybe one day

I am now like Judas, done
Ashamed of what I've become
Fear for life I wear as a ring
Bask in your favor, I will kill the king

[Chorus:]
Let me go
Master, I hate you so
How can I sleep my nights
When my whole being cries

I tried to be like everyone
Open my soul
But what I had to give
Resulted loathing

Enchanted by the power
Licked by the grace
One beautiful black flower
The end of the human race

I will
with pride now face my faith
King and Queen now lie in state
This ring I wear is a powerful thing
I bask in your favor, I have killed the king

[Chorus]

[Solos]

I had a nightmare
The Wolf eating The Raven
Entrails of life on my plate
And I ate 'em...

Interested in what I see
Try that Rorcharch test on me
Have you seen the beauty of the
Enticing beast

[Chorus x2]

[Solos]
