Tracks



01. The Will

Music by Jarno Salomaa
[instrumental]

02. Profound

Music by Jarno Salomaa
Lyrics by Ilpo Paasela
Alone I'm staring
Into raging fire

Too blind to what's real
Watching smoke rising
To the sky

Can you feel my sorrow from a distance?

I want solace that you create
I wanna follow your steps undying
And it's the darkness that feels profound
When we enter somewhere else

All this time
(It was) shimmering
And now we enter deep down there

03. Atonement

Music by Jarno Salomaa
Lyrics by Ilpo Paasela
It's everything
A silhouette of death
A crushing serenade

Down the river
Let me float away
Until I'm out of sight
Forgotten in time

Now I've come to terms
With my purpose
Through closed eyes
I imagine my death

I've come to terms with myself

04. To Exit All False

Music by Jarno Salomaa
Lyrics by Ilpo Paasela
Floating somewhere far
A journey into myself

No solace
The ocean is flooding in
I'm drowning
In my own failures

I've tried to forget
But failed everytime

No solace
The ocean is flooding in
It's final
I can see all clear

Somewhere far I let go
And exit all false
Now I'm close to the lights of the end
The void opens

Somewhere far I let go
And exit all false
Now I'm close to the lights of the end
The void opens

05. Saviour

Music by Jarno Salomaa
Lyrics by Ilpo Paasela
Something falls eternally
Never reaching a bottom
That something cannot be defined
It's just a feeling of total emptiness

Come to life in fire, in comfort
Inside this house
The world becomes a blur
Can anyone hear us?

Free us from reality
A salvation in time of need
Someone somewhere deep

A chase of reason is over, it's final
There isn't one
We hold our scars dear
And wonder
If someone could save us

Returning to times and places before
We´re floating away now

Free us from reality
A salvation in time of need
Someone somewhere deep

06. Blank Sunrise

Music by Jarno Salomaa
Lyrics by Ilpo Paasela
The one which we trust
Condemns life
By sending storms
To seal our downfall
No light will shine

Oh it's dawning proud
The blank sunrise
False gods
Saw it come

To dance in the last of fires
Is cursing heavens above
You'll find me there at the gates
I'm stained with blood

Oh it's dawning proud
The blank sunrise
And the sky is turning red
We're the ones

Blank sunrise

07. Buried In The White

Music by Jarno Salomaa
Lyrics by Ilpo Paasela
It came to pass
I saw it in a dream
Under a tree
Standing leafless

You were too frail
And got swallowed
By the void within you
Cold and endless

This burial
And the falling white from the skies...

I saw you in the mist
And left you lifeless there
I felt nothing
Cause you had stopped trying

I saw you in the mist
You had stopped trying

Some are alive too long

08. Our Triumph

Music by Jarno Salomaa
Lyrics by Ilpo Paasela
It's when you die I lift your body
And carry it away from all
In a distant house we'll born gain
On its walls the emptiness opens

Surrounding darkness liberates
As we claim our place in all of this

We knew it's the last dawn you'll see
And I was ready
Something woke inside of me
My arms prepared for you

The winter spoke without a sound
It told me to redefine us

It's when you die I steal your body
And carry it away from all
In a furthest grave we'll bloom again
On its walls infinity unfolds

Growing darkness celebrates
As we claim our place in all of this

09. Among The Pines We'll Die

Music by Jarno Salomaa
Lyrics by Ilpo Paasela
My soul wanders in a forest
With nothing left, nothing left
But this horror by my side

Her body they tried to hide
But something, something carried on

This sacrifice reminds us
Among the pines we'll die
And the empty halls await us
The distant lights our guide

Among the pines we'll die...

My soul wanders in a forest
With nothing left, nothing left
But this horror by my side

This sacrifice reminds us
Among the pines we'll die
And the empty halls await us
The distant lights our guide
