Les paroles

1. ALICE IN WONDERMENT

A silent face and a prying eye
You're looking back at me in pride
I clench my fist and you draw back
But never leave me of your sight

I see it gleaming deep inside
The hatred for our tangled tie
You remain silent but your smile
Speak more than your lies

Looking
Deep into your smirk
I found the strength and hunger
While you mocked my lack of gust

For years
I wished I was more like you
But I can see it clear now
You're just smoke and mirrors

Reaching out
Crashing down

You crush my revolve in a sneer
Scoffing at my weakness and fear
I try to stand up to your grin
While you cloak yourself in deceit

I used to look up to your grit
I used to borrow from your check
But the characters is weary

You're looked in the mirror

And I reach out for your hand
Our fingers touch but cannot bind
Wish you were real but in the end
We both know lies can't spring to life
Shed that cocky smile from your lips
I know what's hidden deep inside
I know the pain and numbing fear
The heavy load of your mask

Who you were, who you are

And I reach out for your hand
I can feel you're as cold as ice
Dead already, as in the grave
And I'm leaving you here behind
Farewell my friend, thank you again
But I won't need you by my side
You can vanish into thin air
Alice has grown up, in time

Who you were, who you are
Who you were, Who are you ?


2. THE TROLLS' WALTZ

Black Moon rising over the land
Deep in the woods, lost in a dale
Centuries-old monsters, forgotten tales
Rise up again out from their caves

And as the children lie unaware
Hedless mothers sleep in their bed
Eyes in the dark, glistening fangs
Threatening claws lurk in the shades

My sweet child, run to your house
Don't stop until you reach the steps
You should know better, you should be scared
The Trolls are out to take you away

My lovely child, go and hide
Under the blankets of your bed
Huddle and shiver, out of sight
Before they come and take you away

Studded and benumbed, we watch aghast
Empty craddles, home torn apart
Once ther was shelter, once there was warmth
Now we're all cold, inert in fright

But if the tales of old have in right
We should gather around the fire
Sing the night away, dance in the night
And not still petrified

My sweet child, run to your house
Don't stop until you reach the steps
You should know better, you should be scared
The Trolls are out to take you away

My lovely child, go and hide
Under the blankets of your bed
Huddle and shiver, out of sight
Before they come and take you away


3. ARMAGAYDDON

Revolting words pour out from your lips
Serpents and frogs lain in deceit
Disgracing us and naming our signs
Sitting the throne of decency
Gathered together, immodest kings
Store up your wrath for Adams and Eves
Stubborn in heart and prompt in judding

So deep your ignorance and dread
Both accuser and judge you will play
You will point at us in dismay
Blaming us for your guilty shame
The only mark we bear in your stare
The names you call us in your rage
Still you prophesy loss and decay
The foretold downfall of your race

Light up your face
Since the righteous will be saved
You should find your own place
Don't be scared
Sing your Gospel
For you'll be bewarded
In accordance to your innocence

Your scriptures taugh you respect and love
But nothing remains of this words
You made you own creed and broke you vows
New idols roaring with the wolves
And as you kneel down to pray once more
Darkness and gloom come in black clouds
For once I'll plead along with the crowd
Call for the ruin of your world

Light up your face
Since the righteous will be saved
You should find your own place
Don't be scared
Sing your Gospel
For you'll be bewarded
In accordance to your innocence

Light up your face
The fire you have professed
Will fall down on this waste
And the blaze
Will wash it away
And no Evil shall be left
Nothing but love complete among Men

Rise ! Summon a wave
And spread the world
For this is the end of your world
In blinding rays
Ashes and flames
It is the time we wrote a new verse
Your world is hatred and fear and contempt
It's time to change it or wash it away
Violence and deceit and scorn we'll erase
And let the sun rise with it healing rays

Cry not for the old
Not for what's lost
For we are given a new dawn
Fairness for all
One battle won
There'll be many more to fight fot
In communion we shall find a new strengh
United all for the good of our race
Rid of the snakes our Eden is at hand
Adams and Eves one flesh, rid of all shame


4. THE SHORES OF ATLANTIS

Standing awake at the steer
Captain sailing through the night
Leading my men into the mist
Driven by a burning desire

On a quest for the eight continent
For the lost city of Atlantis
For the once defiant island
And its promise of infinite bliss

Diamond and glory, shiny shaphires
Silver and gold shall be my prize
Sweet lasses fair, in silk all clad
Fall at my feet with longing eyes
Pray the waves speed my ship
To the dainty shores of Atlantis

Where sirens chant their melody
To the glory of Atlantis

Captain drifting in the night
Standing weary at the steer
Along the years my men have died
But I still hold on my dream

My soul won't rest until I feel
The golden sands of your eternal beam
Pray the waves speed my ship
To the dainty shores of Atlantis

And as the prow sinks into filth
The hull keels over in soil and grime
Muck on the gore, stench at defeat
Plastic and dross shall be my prize
Foul slags of slit piled at my feet
To welcome a king by decline right

Pray the waves swallow me up
Swallow my ship, swallow my dreams
Swallow the disgrace of my lust
Swallow my pride, swallow my greed

Swallow my very existence
Swallow my life, swallow my years
No trace shall remain of the smut
Or the murky shores of Trashlantis


5. WALKING BY ASIDE

Once we were onethough storms and rain
Once we stood stonger hand in hand
We walked across unharmed but changed
And found ourselves stranfers again

Bound by a broken line
Walking by Aside

Walking ahead we've come apart
Now unknown to each other's heart
Foreign souls in each other's arms
None daring coming to a halt

Calling each other to a blind
Clinging to what you left behind
Deaf to the growing wear and tear
Side by side and still out of reach
