01. Leave The Fallen Behind

Music by Sami Boman
Lyrics by Matti Aikio
Brothers in arms
Falling left and right
Flame of the world
Burning up bright

The machine it grinds
Souls, dreams and skulls
No one survives
It's yearning your blood

Leave the fallen behind
Just let your heart freeze
It's time to bury the dead

Don't look behind
The lost souls they claim
Don't stop the fight
Lest we died in vain

The dark closes in
All the stars falling down
Let the battle begin
Let our names to be known

Leave the fallen behind
Just let your heart freeze
There's no time for tears

Leave the fallen behind
Just let your heart freeze
It's time to bury the dead

02. The Messenger

Music by Juha Lehtioksa
Lyrics by Matti Aikio
Oh black raven, my raven
What have you foreseen
Dark tidings and woe
Rich pickings for death

Let the gods wipe my tears
With this falling rain
Let this lake be my graveside
And woods the golden hall

Our braves long since fallen
With the tides of the war
Our words no more spoken
I'm ready to fall

Bare message, my raven
To gods this prayer for me
Blackbird of the chosen
Bare this prayer for me

Oh black raven, my raven
Bare message for me
Come closer the foe
And take my last breath

Blackbird of the chosen
Bare this prayer for me

Let the gods wipe my tears
With this falling rain
Let this lake be my graveside
And woods the golden hall

Bare message, my raven
To gods this prayer for me
Blackbird of the chosen
Bare this prayer for me

03. A Knife In The Back

Music by Juha Lehtioksa
Lyrics by Matti Aikio
Is it could enough to breathe
Could I move without the pain
Did someone call my name
Is that the sun or does it rain

When I'm on my feet again
And soar on my wings
Every cloud turns to black
I feel the knife in my back
When you turn to walk away
When you least expect it
It's the closest one to stab
The knives in your back

Beneath the surge it's clear
No fear whence here's no hope
It's every time I rise above
When I can't seem to cope

When I'm on my feet again
And soar on my wings
Every cloud turns to black
I feel the knife in my back
When you turn to walk away
When you least expect it
It's the closest one to stab
The knives in your back

Am I asleep or were you here?
I don't want to be awake
I wish that I could speak
But if I could is too late?

Within my misery, I am free
Underneath the fear and dark I am me

When I'm on my feet again
And soar on my wings
Every cloud turns to black
I feel the knife in my back
When you turn to walk away
When you least expect it
It's the closest one to stab
The knives in your back

04. The Fallen Ones With You Tonight

Music by Sami Boman
Lyrics by Matti Aikio
The fallen ones with you tonight
They fill your dreams with butterflies
Smiling as they watch you sleep
Flames devour their tiny feet

They're winged and horned, their haloes burn
The floor is crawling, the moon has turned
They laugh with you upon night sky
You don't fell shame or need to hide

The fallen ones with you tonight
Come close your eyes
The fallen ones with you tonight
Come close your eyes

The fallen ones with you tonight
They fill your dreams with demonchrists
Cinnamon Rose and broken hopes
They'll soothe your skin with tender strokes

They'll chain you in a tree of life
The nails of snake teeth pierce your sides
Ice pick arrows through your chest
The clouds aflame, it's raining lead

The fallen ones with you tonight
Come close your eyes
The fallen ones with you tonight
Come close your eyes

The fallen ones...
Clear voice fills the midnight air
...with you tonight
"Closer, come and hold me near
Closer, under, over here"

They'll take you anywhere you like
Souls around you...
On a cotton candy horseback ride
...laying bare
Beyond the grace of God and light

You're drifting in
The pure starlight
With chosen ones with gesture smile

They'll let
You dream of things divine
The whirl of beauty

The whirl of beauty
The sudden storm

The fallen ones with you tonight
The fallen ones with you tonight

They'll chain you in a tree of life
The nails of snake teeth pierce your sides
Ice pick arrows through your chest
The clouds aflame, it's raining lead

The fallen ones with you tonight
Come close your eyes
The fallen ones with you tonight

They'll lift you up in ivory arms
Cyclone balloons in dolphin shapes
They fill your dreams
These dreams are full of fun and games
They'll soothe your skin

They're winged and horned, their halos burn
The floor is crawling, the moon has turned
They laugh with you upon night sky
You don't feel shame or need to hide

The fallen ones with you tonight
Come close your eyes
The fallen ones with you tonight

05. My Broken Angel

Music by Juha Lehtioksa
Lyrics by Matti Aikio
My angel she falls
Deserted down from heaven
In darkness she came to me

You stripped down my shields
You heard all my weeps
Your own heart broken
Laid down my burden

All sins forgiven
We'll find our haven
We'll heal our hearts
Each other's arms
My broken angel
All pain forgotten
Will you be here
When gone is the night
Here in my arms
My broken angel

My angel she falls
Deserted down from heaven
In darkness she came to me

My home, my haven
Here in my arms
My little angel
Here in my arms
My sweet angel
Safe from all harms
So gently I'm waken
Here in your arms

You stripped down my shields
You heard all my weeps
Have it healing
Feel it burning

All sins forgiven
We'll find our haven
We'll heal our hearts
In each other's arms
My broken angel
All pain forgotten
Will you be here
When gone is the night
Here in my arms
My broken angel

06. The Cradle Of Nameless

Music by Sami Boman
Lyrics by Matti Aikio
Here is my peace in darkness and cold
Here in the sleep where you can behold
Angels are singing
Praising your grace
Blessing at dawn the grave without name

Hold me here in the deep
'Cause when I wake the pain is too real

This is the pain that no one should feel
To let go of a child and everything dear
Stay with me please
'Till dawn and light
Just let me sleep with my ghosts tonight

Drawn me into sleep
Hold me there with you
Let me dream you alive
Hush now come smile at me

Here is my peace
Here in the deep
Stay with me
Please let me sleep

Here is my peace
Here in the deep
Stay with me please
Just let me sleep

Here is my peace in darkness and cold
Here in the sleep you behold
This is the pain that no one should feel
To let go everything dear

Here is my peace
Here in darkness and cold
Here in the sleep where you can behold
Cradle is empty yet swinging tonight
Cradle of nameless is burning tonight

Here is my peace

07. Storm Sight Solicitude

Music by Juha Lehtioksa
Lyrics by Matti Aikio
You're a fraction of memory
Here in my dark
You're a wave of serenity
You've swept me apart

08. Embrace The Storm

Music by Juha Lehtioksa
Lyrics by Matti Aikio
The clouds a weep
A roofless church
The rain it sweeps
The altar burned

The heavens rot
The night she died
"Lest we forget"
Lost souls the cried

A shrapnel wound
A shrapnel through saviours flesh
Their hate it burns
Their hate it awe brightness

Still hear them moan
In a bloody mess
Amongst the wolves
The dreadful sheep

Embrace the storm
And fear the death
Gently the gale
Bolting your breath

Embraced the storm
And the children's tears
Through burning fields
The evil's here

Embrace the storm
The breath of hate
It'll all be gone
It'll be all too late

Embrace the storm
Fondle your fear
With human form
It's drawing near

Embrace the storm
And fear the death
Gently the gale
Bolting your breath

Embraced the storm
And the children's tears
Through burning fields
The evil's here

09. La Fin Du Monde

Music by Riina Rinkinen & Sami Boman
Lyrics by Riina Rinkinen
There are words best unsaid
And these lonely days
Have left them vile
Have left them wolves
They feed before they prey

They told me lies of sunshine
When I felt the night
In the end we are all as jaded
Blind, beyond the light

All I have to wait for
Is the moon to rise
These nights in all their splendour
Remove my disguise

There are words best used unwritten
And these hollow days
Have turned them real
Have turned them wolves
They eat your love away

All I have to wait for
Is the moon to rise
These nights in all their splendour
Remove my disguise

They told me lies of sunshine
When i felt the night
Oblivion resembles bliss
Enough to sing to the abyss

Comfortly drowning
(Sleep is denied for those who understand)
Vast nothingness growing
(Dreams lucid as sky I'm forced to comprehend)
Vague heartbeat is slowing

Is the end complete?
