2. Heart Of Gold

[Music&Lyrics / P. Ahonen]

I hear the voice calling out my name
without a choice I have to live with this pain...deep inside

I see myself as an image of the hurt
I locked you out....will I ever learn...
will I ever learn...?

[BRIDGE]
Stranger came - it brought me to my knees
Devil`s game – another day is deceased
Live or die - my options are growing short

[CHORUS]
The darkness reveals all it`s secrets to me
from this unknown land that no one has seen
The beast will arise from the depths of my soul
it`s the end of the Heart of gold

I sealed the fate when I try to ease the pain
and at the gates I bow my head down with a shame...I can`t take it
anymore...
Out of focus- reality`s swept away
Am I just a pawn – in this devil`s play ...in this devil`s play

[BRIDGE]
Stranger came - it brought me to my knees
Devil`s game – another day is deceased
Live or die - my options are growing short

[CHORUS X2]
The darkness reveals all it`s secrets to me
from this unknown land that no one has seen
The beast will arise from the depths of my soul
it`s the end of the Heart of gold

[SOLO / Pekka / Pete]

[BRIDGE]

3. Dawn Of The Ancient War

[Music&Lyrics / P. Ahonen]

You`re the worst I`ve seen one without a conscience
I`ve had enough of your kinds
Conducting symphony with your stick held up high
repeatedly your dreams end up in a nightmare

[BRIDGE]
Denying evil is the start of it all...

Concept of loyalty is a total stranger
when you`re reaching to the higher grounds
Burning bridges leave the past behind you
disregarding morality ends up in disaster...

[BRIDGE]
Denying evil is the start of it all...

[CHORUS]
It`s the dawn of the ancient war
no retreat, no surrender
It`s the dawn of the ancient war
no looking back...the violence just begun...

Diminished capacity of the brain activity
lacking respect towards another
Counting hits I laugh you`ll never achieve it
repeatedly your dreams end up in a nightmare

[BRIDGE]
Denying evil is the start of it all...

[CHORUS]
It`s the dawn of the ancient war
no retreat, no surrender
It`s the dawn of the ancient war
no looking back...the violence just begun...

[SOLO / Pete]

[BRIDGE]
[CHORUS]


4. Hell Awaits

[Music&Lyrics / P. Ahonen]

You`re so condescending there`s no way I`ll be bending down,
down with your rules
Two worlds colliding I`ll be rewriting your future
and the victory is mine

[BRIDGE]
Say what you say it doesn`t mean anything
Play what you play, but in the end I will take it all...

[CHORUS]
Hell awaits when you`re near me
Hell awaits if you try to deceive me believe me I`m breaking you down

Sucking out all the lifeblood in the end there`s no rivals
standing alone on the field
Actions speak louder than words ever will,
but you`re not wise enough to understand the truth

[BRIDGE]
Say what you say it doesn`t mean anything
Play what you play, but in the end I will take it all...

[CHORUS]
Hell awaits when you`re near me
Hell awaits just try to deceive me

Hell awaits when you`re near me
Hell awaits if you try to deceive me believe me I`m breaking you down

[SOLO / Pete]

[BRIDGE]
[CHORUS]


5. From The Beginning Of It All

[Music&Lyrics / P. Ahonen]

Desperately searching for the one who could heal the wounds
...but no one to be found...
Nowhere to turn always on the run it`s a game I could only lose

[BRIDGE]
I thought of the better days, but you shot me down in flames
In so many ways I denied my shame...

[CHORUS]
From the beginning of it all - I was too blind to see your lies
From the beginning of it all - I should`ve seen through your disguise...

Needed the distance, could not get away, do you believe me
...oh no you don`t
Equal to none in this pain I feel so deep inside

[BRIDGE]
I thought of the better days, but you shot me down in flames
In so many ways I denied my shame...

[CHORUS]
From the beginning of it all - I was too blind to see your lies
From the beginning of it all - I should`ve seen through your disguise...

[SOLO / Pete]

[BRIDGE]

6. Icebound

[Music&Lyrics / P. Ahonen]

Pain… welcomes me on it`s daily show
Forcing me to take the hardest of the roads

Helpless... I will be as my energy running low
I can`t see nothing more just the pain I feel

...Save me....

[CHORUS]
THE COLDNESS OF THIS WORLD
THE CRIES ARE NEVER HEARD, I`M ICEBOUND
THIS ISOLATED WORLD
WHERE EVER I WILL TURN , I`M ICEBOUND

My mind breaks I`m giving up to the endless black
I feel unsafe and the feeling grows there`s no returning back

...Save me...

[CHORUS]
THE COLDNESS OF THIS WORLD
THE CRIES ARE NEVER HEARD, I`M ICEBOUND
THIS ISOLATED WORLDs
WHERE EVER I WILL TURN, I`M ICEBOUND

... Spark of light in the morning makes me think of the better days
God of the sun the one I`m calling clear the sky and let me live...again...

[SOLO / Pete / Pekka / Pete]

[CHORUS]


7. Deceiver

[Music&Lyrics / P. Ahonen]

Storm approaching I can feel it coming
and soon it`s past the point of no return

Read between the lines there`s a thunder roaming
and I`m giving in to the urge to tame the land

[BRIDGE]
I feel the waves rushing in...
Every second counts and every passing minute, the hour is here...

[CHORUS]
Deceiver -- Mistreater
Deceiver -- Mistreater

Blind to the truth there is no believing
doublecrossed me from the very start

Endless thirst for blood hunger grows inside me
you will get what you deserve

[BRIDGE]
I feel the waves rushing in...
Every second counts and every passing minute, the hour is here...

[CHORUS]
Deceiver -- Mistreater
Deceiver -- Mistreater

8. Eye For An Eye

[Music&Lyrics / P. Ahonen]

From the shadows you rose gave me a lethal doze
rip the heart of my chest and left me to die
Pointless arguments I dive in to the deep end
watching the world go by ...oh no...am I living in a lie...

[BRIDGE]
Do they hate me because of my sins
Won`t you save me from the evil within

[CHORUS]
Eye for an eye welcome to my world
It`s like the blind blind leading the blind
Eye for an eye haven`t you heard
It`s like the blind blind leading the blind
straight in to the heart of the night...

You say life ain`t fair , no one really cares
you put the blame on me and you walk away
Target at my sights too numb to even try
closing the pages, eternally, I stand back and watch your demise

[BRIDGE]
Saints will fall in to the sinners hands
If you want to crawl, I shout my demand

[CHORUS]
Eye for an eye welcome to my world
It`s like the blind blind leading the blind
Eye for an eye haven`t you heard
It`s like the blind blind leading the blind
straight in to the heart of the dark...

...Have mercy on me, I`m so tired as a man can be
I`m not the same as I was before
Where this path is leading me, I do not know, but I`m anxious to see
what the future holds for me...what the future holds for me... what is there
for me...

[SOLO / Pete]

[BRIDGE]
Do they hate me because of my sins
Won`t you save me from the evil within

[CHORUS X2]
Eye for an eye welcome to my world
It`s like the blind blind leading the blind
Eye for an eye haven`t you heard
It`s like the blind blind leading the blind
straight in to the heart of the night...


9. To Hell And Back

[Music&Lyrics / P. Ahonen]

Between you and us there is no love lost
Curtains that fell revealing your private hell
You cheat and you steal no compassion you feel
Feeble minded bloodsucker suffer... and burn

We leave you behind and the parasite will die
and the neon lights will fade away
You mastered your craft please, don`t make me laugh
Simple minded bloodsucker suffer and burn

[BRIDGE]
Countdown has started
you`ll never win, we never lose
You`re so blackhearted
you`re the king of the fools

[CHORUS]
To hell and back - To hell and back
We survived through it all
To hell and back - To hell and back
We survived through it all, You`ll be destined to fall...

You`ve awakened the beast you`re last in line, you`re the least
You`re no stranger at all just a loser about to fall
You cheat and you steal no compassion you feel
Simple minded bloodsucker suffer and burn

[BRIDGE]
Countdown has started
you`ll never win, we never lose
You`re so blackhearted
you`re the king of the fools

[CHORUS]
To hell and back - To hell and back
We survived through it all
To hell and back - To hell and back
You`ll be destined to fall
To hell and back - To hell and back
We survived through it all, You`ll be destined to fall...

10. Against The Madness Of Time

[Music&Lyrics / P. Ahonen]

I stood tall in this trial by fire
I survived it all
Chain is broken and my only desire
is to avoid the fall

[BRIDGE]
You`re leading, leading the cult of the damned
You`re feeding them right out of my hands

[CHORUS]
Against the madness of time
I finally killed the snakes in paradise
Against the madness of time
the search is over I `m out from the twilight

In too deep unable to escape
Haunted me in my sleep
Whats in it for me? you selfishly asked..
Your promises just try to keep

[BRIDGE]
You`re leading, leading the cult of the damned
You`re feeding them right out of my hands

[CHORUS]
Against the madness of time
I finally killed the snakes in paradise
Against the madness of time
the search is over I `m out from the twilight

Against the madness of time
I finally killed the serpents and the lies
Against the madness of time
the game is over I unveiled your disguise

...Sleepers awake now it`s time to pray
for the souls of the dying
The night after day it`s the bringer of pain
to the lonely souls that are crying...

[SOLO / Pete]

[BRIDGE]
[CHORUS]


11. Burned Down The Enemy

[Music&Lyrics / P. Ahonen]

Losing grip of reality
Revolution in this brave new world
Glimpse of evil in the child's eye
Persecution begins to emerge

Salvation came in a form of fire
Torches lit across the lands
Feeding the hungry we kept the flames alive,
but our hourglass ran out of sand

[BRIDGE]
Face the truth, shut your mouth, calm the storm,
but if you want it all, WE ARE READY TO FIGHT
Dethrone tyranny ending supremacy, the quest for honour has begun....

Out of the barn hoarsely spoken man
claims he owns our fire
Crawl back to your hole you`re not from this world
Youґre not the kind I admire

[BRIDGE]
Face the truth, shut your mouth, calm the storm,
but if you want it all, WE ARE READY TO FIGHT
Dethrone tyranny ending supremacy, the quest for honour has begun....

[CHORUS]
Host of palace in the dark
In silence lies the victim, we BURNED DOWN THE ENEMY
Out of the belly of this beast
We`re back in the light, we BURNED DOWN THE ENEMY
and we burned the evil past....we`re second to none we`re here to last...

... And now the battle is done and the war is over
all the heroes unsung join with me in the praise of glory
Only the ones with pure heart they survive, they`ll stand victorious
It`s up to us to kill the beast once and for all...

...This ship of fools is sailing without a course
the captain is changing and he`s taking new force
and now we head out to the new seas...

[SOLO / Pete / Pekka / Jussi/ Pekka / Pete]

[BRIDGE]
Face the truth, shut your mouth, calm the storm,
but if you want it all, WE ARE READY TO FIGHT
Dethrone tyranny ending supremacy, the quest for honour has begun....

[CHORUS]
Host of palace in the dark
In silence lies the victim, we BURNED DOWN THE ENEMY
Out of the belly of this beast
We`re back in the light, we BURNED DOWN THE ENEMY

Host of palace in the dark
You have played with fire, we BURNED DOWN THE ENEMY
Out of the belly of this beast
We are ready to fight, we BURNED DOWN THE ENEMY
and we burned the evil past....we`re second to none we`re here to last...

WE BURNED DOWN THE ENEMY!!


12. My Reign, My Fire

[Music&Lyrics / P. Ahonen]

Could it be the saviour who`ll get you out of here
(but) it turned out as a failure, the core , your biggest fear...

Words can be so fatal, you`re reaching much too far
Silence in the graveyard, it`s nothing and it`s all

[BRIDGE]
It all was gone in a moment
Tragically you lost all to me...

Finish what you`ve started, I`ve been teached to act
You live your life so guarded , it`s so true and sad...

[BRIDGE]
It all was gone in a moment
Tragically you lost all to me...

[CHORUS]
My reign, My fire
I`m claiming the throne It belongs to me ( It belongs to me )
My reign, My fire
and finally it`s the end of tyranny, misery, we all see....

[SOLO / Pekka]

[BRIDGE]
It all was gone in a moment
Tragically you lost all to me...

[CHORUS]
My reign, My fire
The kingdom is mine It belongs to me ( It belongs to me )
My reign, My fire
and finally it`s the end of tyranny, misery, we all see...
My reign, My fire
I`m claiming the throne, this kingdom is mine, it belongs to me
My reign, My fire
and finally it`s the end of tyranny, misery, we all see....
