Tracks



01. Sub-Creatures

You mindless fools with your thoughtless dreams
Living in sandcastle-worlds

A single wave of simple reason can wash it all away

With brains too small to construct a thought
of causal connection

Or a mind so insensitive, too cold to care

Digging a grave under our own feet
Impossible dreams, built-in destructivity
How much I'll enjoy to watch it all crumble down

A serpent-race swallowing their tails
The fangs piercing their own flesh

A symbol for the eternal circle of stupidity

Perspective corrupt by a massive lack
of comprehension

A failure to see one-self in proportion with the universe

Digging a grave under our own feet
Impossible dreams, built-in destructivity
How much I'll enjoy to watch it all crumble down

[Solo: Tieaho]

Digging a grave under our own feet
Impossible dreams, built-in destructivity
How much I'll enjoy to watch it all crumble down

Sub-Creatures!

02. Throne Of Sin

An embodiment of purity. Soon to be defiled
Her god cannot protect her from me
Pray now every prayer you know
Soon you won't remember a single one

An angel depraved

For hours and hours without end
The whiteness of snow replaced by pure filth
Her torn body abandoned
For lesser vultures to feast on over and over again...

An angel depraved

Her bare skin, tempting me
Sit beside me, on my throne of sin

No room for redemption
Among the wicked
To pity those below you
Is to lower yourself

You let down your guard
For a blink of an eye
And you'll surely find me
Tainting your flock

[Solos: Tieaho - Mattila]

An angel depraved

Her bare skin, tempting me
Sit beside me, on my throne of sin

On my throne of sin...

03. Wall Of Sanity

Wave the flag, of victory
Instant access, into vanity
Around your empire, a shroud of emptiness
A bridge to darkness, gloomy nothingness

Cold world of reality

Face it or break the wall of sanity
Climb over feel the bricks eating your skin
Bounce off from its hard surface
It leaves you alone in this rotten place
Dead end this madness you behold

The dark eye
In the pitch black night
Seeing all, cursing daylight
Narrow ideas, built on false perspective
Lead to dreams, illusions so addictive

No applause, everyone is gone, the scene is empty, only the clown remains

[Solo: Tieaho]

Face it or break the wall of sanity
Climb over feel the bricks eating your skin
Bounce off from its hard surface
It leaves you alone in this rotten place
Dead end this madness you behold

04. Vanishing Act

I'm losing memories, all is vanishing away.
Don't remember what it means, if you're coward or brave

My mind is crystal clear, there is nothing to fear
I am screaming through the air, no one can hear

I'm drifting on a field, between stones I parade
I see that lonely flame, The candle on my grave... NO!!!!!!!

My mind is crystal clear, there is nothing to fear
I am screaming through the air, no one can hear

I was a soldier but now I'm fallen
remember that shot to the head
I see there's an angel who's calling
And I walk away...

Life is vanishing away...

My mind is crystal clear, there is nothing to fear
I am screaming through the air, no one can hear

05. Voiceless Army

If we play this game, if we roll the dice once more
Malignant cycle of despair becomes closer every day
Stabbing constant stress, annihilating the rest
Until only power exists, showing the ugly face of this world

Raise the torch of (the) revealing light
Illuminate this horrible sight
Architects of chaos created hell
What a story to tell

Greedy scavengers on the prey
Nameless men behind the veil
Possess the knowledge that once created hell
What a story to tell

Tongues lick the poison from the same bottomless pit
Defining the future for their substantial profit
It's a cure of another kind, they have to pull the trigger
When they can't repress, all the voices that detest them

Raise the torch of (the) revealing light
Illuminate this horrible sight
Architects of chaos created hell
What a story to tell

Greedy scavengers on the prey
Nameless men behind the veil
Possess the knowledge that once created hell
What a story to tell

Inhuman behavior, an atrocity accepted on all terms

Sole witnesses lie silent on the ground
The voiceless army is lying all around

[Solos: Tieaho - Mattila - Auerkallio - Mattila]

06. Eulogy

Instrumental

07. Blastbeat Of My Heart

Light, is fading from my eyes
Sorrow, is blinding my own mind
Those secrets I couldn't keep inside
Something's made me open my mind for the lie!
I can't rewind...

Wait! There's something you should know
Hate! is one that makes me grow
The fear is driving you insane
You lose your mind and it will make you cry,
again you lie...

Let me feel your knife again
Before you send me to death
Are you ready to detonate
This Blastbeat of my heart

You'll see the power in me!
see the fire in my eyes!
see your self burning!
Your not hurting me!
My heart is beating...
Faster and faster again...

[Solos: Mattila - Tieaho]

You'll see the power in me!
see the fire in my eyes!
see your self burning!
Your not hurting me!
My heart is beating...
Faster and faster again...

Let me feel your knife again
Before you send me to death
Are you ready to detonate
This Blastbeat of my heart

08. New Time

The abusing traitors are falling
You're climbing the stairs to the throne
Leave that old useless life. Burn the bridges behind
Create your new life, write the new one.
The story of new time

If you break the mirror of your soul
and those memories from your past
see the future when it comes
but don't look back

Raise your head and make them pay
turn the page from your book of life
Create the future with your own way
forget the past, and walk the new line, the new line

[Solo: Tieaho]

The abusing traitors have fallen
You've ascended and taken the throne
You left that old useless life. Bridges are burning behind
created a new life, wrote the new one. The story of new time

If you hide in the shadows of your life
You will go down with them
And all the traitors, they'll stand up and shine
If you'll let them

When you feel like there's nothing left for you
turn the page from your book of life
There is always more things to do
forget the past, and walk the new line, the new line

09. Lord Of The Mourn

A Godlike figure
Half a man
Armed with vicious thoughts
To rule the land
The power tempts helping hands

Like flies they gather around to feast
Feeding this venomous conspiracy
War! This means war!

Worms around the crown
Empower the Might
To spread the scourge
In the village tonight
Cuts so deep, they will never heal

Pitch black darkness is their demise
Condemned to live in endless lie
War! This means war!

Lord of them all
Standing tall

Every day now:
Touch of fear is present
Days of joy are gone
Engines of death are grinding
Seeds of hate are sown

Hear the tyrant s call
Forever to the fall
Sign of a constant threat
Fatal and possessed
Hear the tyrant s call!

[Solo: Tieaho]

10. Too Dark To See

I cannot dream with me, I cannot laugh with me no more
and my face in the mirror is too dark to see
I can't breath with me, I can't see myself anymore
because my face in the mirror is too dark to see

Those scars remind me how I made you cry
Your pain remains even if I die

I can't feel myself no more, is there someone behind my back
who can see this curse on me, or is it just too dark to see!
I can't take myself anymore, everything I touch falls apart
can you see this curse on me, or is it just too dark to see!

Those scars remind me how I made you cry
Your pain remains even if I die

All these questions, I'm screaming out loud
There is no one to tell me the way

[Solo: Tieaho]

I can't breath with me, I can't see myself anymore
because my face in the mirror is too dark to see
I can't feel myself no more, is there someone behind my back
who can see this curse on me, or is it just too dark to see!

Too dark to see!

Those scars remind me how I made you cry
Your pain remains even if I die

This is not the truth, this is not for real
I don't believe you 'cos you tell me lies
Everyone suffers and I am the cause
Those closest to me are fading away

Have I ever been alive?!?
