Lyrics


1. NEON LIGHT CHILD

I live on the street, it is my home
All my life I’ve been alone
I see people passing by
And they lower their eyes

It’s been like this for so many years
I had my share on lonely tears
My parents left me long ago
They did not want to know

Tell me how can I stand the pain?
Is there any hope for me at all?
Hear me cry in the cold rain
I never wanted to become
A Neon Light Child

There’ll come a day when I’ll be free
I will make people look at me
I’ll leave everything behind
There are good things for me to find

Tell me how can I stand the pain?
Is there any hope for me at all?
Hear me cry in the cold rain
I never wanted to become
A Neon Light Child


2. I DIED FOR YOU

I can’t believe this now
This isn’t what I planned
I lived and died and now
I just can’t understand
With all the love I feel
I could never leave her
No matter what the cost
My soul’s the price to see her

How I love you
The pain won’t go away
When I need you
You’re always so far away
I cry for you
Leaving myself to blame
I died for you
I gave up everything

The pain was just too much
When I finally saw her
She’s happy and in love
In love with my best friend
What makes it hurt so bad
Is that I love them both
And they will never know
For love I sold my soul

How I love you
The pain won’t go away
When I need you
You’re always so far away
I cry for you
Leaving myself to blame
I died for you
I gave up everything


3. DESTINY

I saw a star in the sky
Nothing of the property means
(It was this) moment in life
(When tears) are turning you’ll bleed

There was none escapes
More none before or back
The sky became darkly
Was it the arrival of a my deepest vision
Or was it the end for me?

Breaking the silence
There’s no turning back
Where’s my destiny?

I saw a dream I knew
Another curse forgotten came true
Cast into outer darkness
That face came out of the blue

There was none escapes
More none before or back
The sky became darkly
Was it the arrival of a my deepest vision?
Or was it the end for me?

Breaking the silence
There’s no turning back
Where’s my destiny?


4. FOREVER AND ONE (NEVERLAND)

What can I do?
Will I be getting through?
Now that I must try to leave it all behind
Did you see what you have done to me?
So hard to justify
Slowly it’s passing by

Forever and one I will miss you
However, I kiss you yet again
Way down in Neverland
So hard I was trying
Tomorrow I’ll still be crying
How could you hide your lies?
Your lies

Here I am
Seeing you once again
My mind’s so far away
My heart’s so close to stay
Too proud to fight
I’m walking back into night
Will I ever find someone to believe?

Forever and one I will miss you
However, I kiss you yet again
Way down in Neverland
So hard I was trying
Tomorrow I’ll still be crying
How could you hide your lies
Your lies


5. 18 AND LIFE

Ricky was a young boy
He had a heart of stone
Lived 9 to 5 and worked
His fingers to the bone
Just barely got out of school
Came from the edge of town
Fought like a switchblade
So no one could take him down
He had no money
Oh! No good at home
He walked the streets a soldier
And he fought the world alone
And now it’s

18 and life you got it
18 and life you know
Your crime is time and it’s
18 and life to go

Tequila in his heartbeat
His veins burned gasoline
It kept his motor running
But it never kept him clean
They say he loved adventure
“Ricky’s the wild one”
He married trouble
And had a courtship with a gun
Bang! Bang! Shoot ‘em up
The party never ends
You can’t think of dying
When the bottle’s your best friend
And now it’s

18 and life you got it
18 and life you know
Your crime is time and it’s
18 and life to go

“Accidents will happen”
They all heard Ricky say
He fired his six-shot to the wind
That blew a child away

18 and life you got it
18 and life you know
Your crime is time and it’s
18 and life to go


6. SLEEPING SUN

The sun is sleeping quietly
Once upon a century
Wistful oceans calm and red
Ardent caresses laid to rest
For my dreams I hold my life
For wishes I behold my nights
A truth at the end of time
Losing faith makes a crime

I wish for this nighttime to last for a lifetime
The darkness around me
Shores of a solar sea
Oh how I wish to go down with the sun
Sleeping, weeping with you

Sorrow has a human heart
From my God it will depart
I’d sail before a thousand moons
Never finding where to go
222 days of light
Will be desired by a night
A moment for the poet’s play
Until there’s nothing left to say

I wish for this nighttime to last for a lifetime
The darkness around me
Shores of a solar sea
Oh how I wish to go down with the sun
Sleeping, weeping with you


7. NIGHTFALL

No sign of life did flicker
In floods of tears she cried
“All hope’s lost it can’t be undone
They’re wasted and gone”

“Save me your speeches I know (They blinded us all)
What you want you will take it away from me
Take it and I know for sure
The light she once brought in is gone forevermore”

Like sorrowful seagulls they sang
“(We’re) lost in the deep shades
The misty cloud brought
(A wailing when beauty was gone
Come take a look at the sky)
Monstrous it covered the shore
Fearful into the unknown”

Quietly it crept in new horror
Insanity reigned
And spilled the first blood
When the old king was slain

Nightfall
Quietly crept in and changed us all
Nightfall
Quietly crept in and changed us all
Nightfall
Immortal land lies down in agony

“How long shall we mourn in the dark
The bliss and the beauty will not return
Say farewell to sadness and grief
Though long and hard the road may be”

But even in silence I heard the words
“An oath we shall swear by the name of the one
Until the world’s end it can’t be broken”
Just wondering how
I can still hear these voices inside
The doom of the Noldor drew near

The words of a banished king
“I swear revenge”
Filled with anger aflamed our hearts
Full of hate full of pride
We screamed for revenge

Nightfall
Quietly crept in and changed us all
Nightfall
Quietly crept in and changed us all
Nightfall
Immortal land lies down in agony

“Vala he is that’s what you said
Then your oath’s been sworn in vain
(But) freely you came and
You freely shall depart
(So) never trust the northern winds
Never turn your back on friends”

“Oh I’m heir of the high lord!”
“You better don’t trust him”
The enemy of mine
Isn’t he of your kind and
Finally you may follow me
Farewell
He said

Nightfall
Quietly crept in and changed us all
Nightfall
Quietly crept in and changed us all
Nightfall
Immortal land lies down in agony

Back to where it all began


8. EARTH AND SKY

Sometime, when I look up at the sky
The night sky, night sky so vast
I wish, I wish upon a star
Your star burns so bright to me

Earth and sky
I wish upon your star
Your star’s still there
You’ve gone away
It seems eternally
Your star’s still there
It burns inside of me

My time here seems like empty years
Waiting to see you again
I believe, oh I do believe
Our circle will start again

Long ago, you broke the chains
You traveled on, you sailed the stars
I was left behind
The tears they burned in me
I long to be joined again


9. THE TURNING POINT

Poutaisat pilvet haihtuvat katoen nopesti tuulten mukana kuin tama uni
Jossa en enaa sinua tavoita on liian myohaista

In a dream I saw the world beyond
No tongues telling lies
The silence was covering everything inside
In a dream I saw myself
Fallen down next to me
Couldn’t crawl back inside my body

No laughter on my face
Reality mirrored in the deep signs of life
Too long sacrificed my feelings to the ones
Who take all ‘til there’s nothing in the end

I’m not in my aim
I’ve gotta love also the other half of me
To reach the turning point
As only in my dreams I’m my biggest enemy

Till I’d found out that I only loved your half in me
So much time I spent not knowing myself
Too much love I’d given for everyone but nothing for me
My light was burning ‘til the end

Now you showed me that two full halves make a stronger one
Also out of me and I feel the strength
Returning into me I new-found love again

Couldn’t have been fighting alone
Thank you for hearing me on time
I bless you for the trust you gave
When I didn’t admit being weak

I am close to my aim
Truly hoping I won’t fail
Before I reach the turning point
Where we’re no longer the same

Didn’t notice me change
Was not living the days without names
Now I’m here with you to stay beyond
The turning point of my dreams

O found my aim
Now I can face myself again
I thank you for loving me
And keeping us on the right way


10. TO BE WITH YOU

Hold on little girl
Show me what he’s done to you
Stand up little girl
A broken heart can’t be that bad

When it’s through, it’s through
Fate will twist the both of you
So come on baby come on over
Let me be the one to show you

I’m the one who wants to be with you
Deep inside I hope you feel it too
Waited on a line of greens and blues
Just to be the next to be with you

Build up your confidence
So you can be on top for once
Wake up who cares about
Little boys that talk too much
I’ve seen it all go down
Your game of love was all rained out
So come on baby, come on over
Let me be the one to hold you

Why be alone when we can be together, baby
You can make my life worthwhile
And I can make you start to smile

Just to be the next to be with you


11. REPLICA

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 steel
The kind the bullets cannot see

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

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

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

Are you gonna leave me now
When it is all over
Are you gonna leave me
Is my world now over

Rising 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

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


12. LACRIMARUM

It’s all pain and it’s all tears
It’s all chaos and it’s all fears
It’s all sin it’s the feeling
That I’m not alive

I’m afraid to face my fate
Misery sorrow and hate
Despair lives on
Lives in everything

Despair lives on and on
Lives in everything
Life’s just a pain
That I’ll go through


13. REMEMBER

Raise your eyes
Time has come
Raise your eyes
There’s a yearning
There’s a burning in the skies

Walking, walking helpless in undiscovered land
From tomorrow to today and yesterday

Now, from now on
You’ll remember what you’ve done
You’ll be cryin’, you’ll be tryin’ not to fall
Now, now you see
Life is just a memory
You’ll be cryin’, you’ll be tryin’ to recall

Time will tell
Faith was mine
Time will tell
Would you bless me
And caress me if I fell?

Sadly living through this irony
You’ll forget me in the emptiness of time

Now, from now on
You’ll remember what you’ve done
You’ll be cryin’, you’ll be tryin’ not to fall
Now, now you see
Life is just a memory
You’ll be cryin’, you’ll be tryin’ to recall


14. LET IT RAIN

Lady Jane
Will we ever meet again?
The times we had I count ‘em day by day
All the pain that we gave each other then
Was not enough to wanna make us run?

Who did say this life will last forever
We’re standing at the crossroad once again
All the things in life are growing slowly in progress
I know, we got to listen to the flow

Let it rain, let it rain
Till the sun comes back again
The answer is your only friend

We walk this path, slowly step by step
We don’t have to force it, just believe
There’s a place deep inside
Where we’ve never been before
I know we can be there, you and me

Who did say this life will last forever
We’re standing at the crossroad once again
All the things in life are fading slowly in progress
I know, we got to listen to the flow

Let it rain, let it rain
Till the sun comes back again
The answer is your only friend
Let it rain, let it rain
‘Cause I know we’ll meet again
Freedom will be there in the end

Hope you find your paradise
I wish you all the best of times
Have faith in love and please don’t cry

Let it rain, let it rain
Till the sun comes back again
The answer, is your only friend
Let it rain, let it rain
‘Cause I know we’ll meet again
Freedom will be there in the end


15. GOOD NIGHT AMANDA

Good-bye came without a warning
I never thought it could hurt me that way
You’ve been like a new day dawning
A snowflake melting on a sunny day

How can I live without you?
God, I miss your smile

So Good night, Amanda
Good night, I wish you well
I’ll remember you
Wherever you are now
I wish you good night
I wish you good night

My days were filled
With your sweet laughter
I’ll always cherish your memory
And all the nights we’ve been together
Just holding you so tenderly

Still I dream about you
God, I miss you so

It’s so hard not to think about you, girl
I have built my world around you
But somehow it stopped to turn
Without you

So Good night, Amanda
Good night, I wish you well
I’ll remember you
Wherever you are now
I wish you good night
I wish you good night

So Good night, Amanda
Good night, I wish you well
You’ll be in my heart
Until we meet again
(Until the end of time)
I wish you good night
I wish you good night


16. MOONLIGHT CARESS

Set like a jewel
In the black velvet of the night
You’ll listen to my breath
In this clear quiet darkness

And you’ll see a warm tear
Run down my cold face
Oh, virgin silk-skinned moon
Dance with me until the dawn
Oh, virgin queen of the night
Up there on your enchanted throne

And I gaze at your whiteness
Reflected in the lake waters

...And I’ll see my image
In the weak waves
And I’ll be able to hear
Your plaintive voice
Comfort my soul

Oh, virgin silk-skinned moon
Oh, virgin queen of the night
