Anteroom Of Death
Written by Michelle Leonard / Kiko Masbaum / Tarja Turunen
Two faced drama rebellion,
Are you the Joker, King or Queen?
Place your cards as they're coming.
Came to win, lost everything.
Gambling riders pull the strings
Pull them tighter, let them in.
Come and play another day.
Throw your mask away.
I don't care what you say
'Cause your lovely words decay.
Come and play another day.
Welcome to the anteroom of death.
Hide your conspiracies so,
Who's got the keys and who has not?
Sell your fortune to me
'Cause I can still read behind all that.
Burn your fingers, trade a dream.
Watch the clock as it's ticking.
Come and play another day.
Throw your mask away.
I don't care what you say
'Cause your lovely words decay.
Come and play another day.
Welcome to the anteroom of death.
Blinded in the dark.
I'm touching the scars of tainted hearts.
If you're searching, learn to see.
Honesty is all you need.
Take a bow, finally.
Come and play another day.
Throw your mask away.
I don't care what you say
'Cause your lovely words decay.
Come and play another day.
Welcome to the anteroom of death.
Until My Last Breath
Written by Johnny Andrews / Tarja Turunen
Cannot cry it loud enough.
I'm giving up this ghost.
How can I still justify
When you deny my voice?
In this nothing I am not allowed,
I just follow alone.
Words as weapons without a sound,
Echoes dying unborn.
Until my last breath
You'll never know.
Until you feel the silence
When I am gone.
Now is vanishing, everything
What we might have been.
Only now you praise,
Call my name that you won't see again.
Who can change this memory,
Inside it needs to burn.
Worship by the enemy,
The guilty take their turns.
Watching as it's disappearing.
Shadows all that remain.
Wishes slowly crossing over
In this parade of pain.
Until my last breath
You'll never know.
Until you feel the silence
When I am gone.
Now is vanishing, everything
What we might have been.
Only now you praise,
Call my name that you won't see again.
I Feel Immortal
Written by Lindy Robbins / Toby Gad / Kerli Koiv / Tarja Turunen
Whenever I wake up
I'm lost and always afraid.
It's never the same place.
I close my eyes to escape
The walls around me
And I drift away.
Inside the silence
Overtakes the pain
And in my dreams
I feel immortal.
I am not scared,
No I'm not scared.
I feel immortal
When I am there,
When I am there.
Whenever I wake up
The shards of us cut within.
Always the same day
Frozen out in the fringe.
I surrender to the sleep
And leave the hurt behind me.
There's no death to fear
And in my dreams
I feel immortal.
I am not scared,
No I'm not scared.
I feel immortal
When I am there,
When I am there.
So far or right beside me.
So close, but they can't find me.
Slowly, time forgets me.
I am only, only dreaming.
Don't wake me up!
In For A Kill
Written by Matthias Lindblom / Anders Wollbeck / Tarja Turunen
Where do you go from here?
It's dragging you under.
Nothing could be more clear,
When you are the hunter.
Is that a dream to die for?
A prize, you keep it out of the light.
Nothing can shine,
Left in the dark,
Far from their eyes.
Under black water
There is no halo,
Only the hunger
And you're in for a kill.
You and your twisted minds
It's making us shiver.
How can we be so blind,
The fear you deliver.
It's all a grand illusion,
A trick you keep it
out of the light.
Nothing can shine,
Left in the dark,
Far from their eyes.
Under black water
There is no halo,
Only the hunger
And you're in for a kill.
Underneath
Written by Johnny Andrews / Tarja Turunen
Even in my darkest times, overcome with worry.
Find the comfort in the storm, no reason to be sorry.
Look inside for a place to hide.
All around the faithless wait full of expectations.
They will never see the beauty in the imperfections.
The more I show, the less they know.
Out of reach.
Underneath.
Learned to breath.
Underneath.
Something inside me invisible
Turning the fragile unbreakable.
But they cannot take away,
Cannot take away what I believe.
You cannot take away,
Cannot take away what's underneath.
Every little cut runs deep masked in my tomorrow.
Bringing wisdom that I need for all the time I borrow.
My other side is left behind.
Out of reach.
Underneath.
Learned to breath.
Underneath.
Something inside me invisible
Turning the fragile unbreakable.
But they cannot take away,
Cannot take away what I believe.
You cannot take away,
Cannot take away what's underneath.
Little Lies
Written by Alex Scholpp / Johnny Andrews / Tarja Turunen
Take my faith
With an open hand and warm embrace, my confidant.
Use my words,
Take the good away and leave the worst to sell me out.
Little lies,
Little lies
Making up tragedies.
Nothing is what it seems.
Who cares what is real.
Little lies,
Little lies
Only to entertain.
The message is all the same
For those who believe.
Feed the flames.
Empty wishes with no room to blame, my sacrifice.
Deep inside,
There is nothing left to stand behind, but little lies.
Little lies,
Little lies
Making up tragedies.
Nothing is what it seems.
Who cares what is real.
Little lies,
Little lies
Only to entertain.
The message is all the same
For those who believe.
Rivers Of Lust
Written by Kid Crazy / Johan Westmar / Kristoffer Karlsson / Jessica Lundstrom / Tarja Turunen
Violent hands come at midnight.
Hold me down, I can't make a sound
In their arms, still unwanted,
Crave the child be forever wiled.
Stranger, danger,
Release me.
Mercy's hiding,
It let me go,
Hurts to know.
Mercy's watching,
Watching me drowning
In rivers of lust.
Morning sun, break the shelter.
Turn back time. Wash away my crime.
Betrayer, slayer
Release me
Mercy's hiding,
It let me go,
Hurts to know.
Mercy's watching,
Watching me drowning
In rivers of lust.
Found at noon,
Clutching still the stone.
Dark Star
Written by Johnny Andrews / Tarja Turunen
Burning out in the distance you're falling,
Starting to fade.
Light is condemned to be tied down by gravity
Close to the end.
Do you still remember?
Before the weight that pulled you under, dared you to rise.
Where are you now?
Are you proud of the life you wasted?
Wearing the crown of illusion you created.
You'll never know what it feels like to shine.
You're the master in your own mind,
But a slave to all,
You are a dark star.
Empty, is never enough,
You keep clawing for what you can't reach.
Smothering space filled without any grace
And I can't breathe.
Nothing lasts forever.
Even the stars will loose their luster returning to dust.
Where are you now?
Are you proud of the life you wasted?
Wearing the crown of illusion you created.
You'll never know what it feels like to shine.
You're the master in your own mind,
But a slave to all,
You are a dark star.
Falling Awake
Written by Johnny Andrews / Tarja Turunen
Phantom voices with no words to follow
At the mercy of the cold and hollow.
I withdrew into my sanctuary of silence,
My defence.
In this moment I am just becoming
Liberated from my cell of nothing.
No sensation there was only breathing.
Overcome, oblivion.
Falling Awake
From a walking sleep
And all that remains
Is the dying memory.
And now I can dive for
these dreams I make.
Like I am Falling,
I am falling awake.
Waves of melodies once forgotten
like a symphony across the ocean.
Never knew that they could hear my calling
deep within
crashing
rushing in
like falling
Falling Awake
From a walking sleep
And all that remains
Is the dying memory
And now I can dive for
these dreams I make
Like I am Falling
I am falling awake
There is no returning to that emptiness, loneliness.
The dream that lives inside of me won't fade away, it's wide awake
Falling Awake
From a walking sleep
And all that remains
Is the dying memory
And now I can dive for
these dreams I make
Like I am Falling
I am falling awake
The Archive Of Lost Dreams
Written by Tarja Turunen
Far from the light to reach beneath a veil of mist,
Countless stories were left to rest in peace.
Darkened and calm, the grave uncared.
Once a haven filled with hope,
the archive of lost dreams.
We send our inner fears for the ocean to score.
Waiting it takes them all away from the shore.
Deepest beliefs from billions of souls
Longing for our wishes to find the way back home.
Aah...Naiad, the last one in the unknown.
The keeper of our written dreams.
Aah...Promises, none of them were left behind.
She blessed them with her kiss.
See, hear and feel the miracle of life.
Believe the signs and trust you'll stay alive.
Descend to find the depth of your heart.
Mysterious Naiad, now the circle's closed forever.
Aah...Naiad, the archive is gone.
We are on our own.
Crimson Deep
Written by Bart Hendrickson / Angela Heldman / Tarja Turunen
Sometimes I see the pulse,
Numb I feel, so unreal.
Blood on my lips I taste the heavy lead.
What can I find behind the mirror,
I'll never know.
Who's the reflection within?
Should I frame for you the other world,
Another world?
I've heard the voices of Elysium.
The scent of a sudden wish,
Never there, everywhere.
Read me the space in-between.
Come to me,
I cried,
I need you.
I am seeking the gates unfold inside,
My lost soul in the dark.
Far beneath my breath
I'm burning at my core.
Show me how, let me see beyond
I will find my Crimson Deep
Sharp is the edge of all discovery,
Now I see.
A scar without suffering, impossible.
I'll wait until my last day with no shame,
Who's to blame.
Shaping the signs left for me.
Come to me,
I cried,
I need you.
I am seeking the gates unfold inside,
My lost soul in the dark.
Far beneath my breath
I'm burning at my core.
Show me how, let me see beyond
I will find my Crimson Deep
We Are
Written by ?
How cold is the heart
My world is on fire
How deep is the mark
When you leave
And your dream turn to water.
I let myself feel.
I'm wishing for something real.
We are
We are
Chasing a shadow
We are
We are
Lost in the shame
You try to hide only to reach out
It's too late
With a smile you move on
Every fear left unspoken
There was hope, now it's gone
So believe there is love in the open.
You just have to let go.
And turn into something real.
We are
We are
Chasing a shadow
We are
We are
Lost in the shame
You try to hide only to reach out
It's too late
Break the shade
See your hate
Black flames
No names
Who are you?
Janette said.
We are
We are
Chasing a shadow
We are
We are
Lost in the shame
You try to hide only to reach out
It's too late
Naiad
Written by Torsten Stenzel / Angela Heldmann / Adrian Zagoritis / Tarja Turunen
She hears the distant soft caress
There in the gloom
Colours surround with tenderness
Guiding her through
In the forgotten sweet abyss
Another sound
Twilight floating memories always without
Gloaming there above the surface
An illusion reaching down for me
What lies beneath
Beyond the ocean's door
Tranquil is the kiss of the azure rising deep
Sleeping ever more
Naiad's mystery
What lies beneath
Guarding their immorality
Saints in the sand
Stranger than beautiful eerie
An ancient land
Circle of 16 turned to stone and still they keep
Shimmering crystal promises one space between
Gloaming there above the surface
An illusion reaching down for me
What lies beneath
Beyond the ocean's door
Tranquil is the kiss of the azure rising deep
Sleeping ever more
Naiad's mystery
What lies beneath
Beyond the ocean's door
Tranquil is the kiss of the azure rising deep
Sleeping ever more
Naiad's mystery
What lies beneath
Aah...
Breathing the newborn waves
Kneeling for the sea she became
Still Of The Night
Whitesnake cover
In the Still of the Night
I hear the wolf howl, honey
Sniffing around your door
In the Still of the night
I feel my heart beating heavy
Telling me I gotta have more
In the shadow of night
I see the full moon rise
Telling me what's in store
My heart start aching
My body start a shaking
An' I can't take no more, no, no
Now I just wanna get close to you
An' taste your love so sweet
An' I just wanna make love to you
Feel your body heat
In the Still of the Night
In the Still of the Night
In the heat of the day
I hang my head down low
An' hide my face from the sun
Thru the light of the day
Until the evening time
I'm waiting for the night to come
In the Still of the Night
In the cool moonlight
I feel my heart is aching
In the Still of the Night
In the Still of the Night
I hear the wolf howl, honey
Sniffing around your door
In the Still of the night
I feel my heart beating heavy
Telling me I gotta have more
Now I just wanna get close to you
An' taste your love so sweet
An' I just wanna make love to you
Feel your body heat
In the Still of the Night
If You Believe
Written by Torsten Stenzel / Angela Heldmann / Adrian Zagoritis / Tarja Turunen
Drifting, words without meaning
Twisting, through the dark concealing
Search again
Your reflection lives within
Shade in the labyrinth
The path lies ahead
If you believe
Truth her name is honesty
Let her shine through your darkest temptation
Hidden deep
In sincerity,
With your painted smile
So revealing
Tarnished,
Yet there's no fear in me
Feeding the flower that dies
Is a ray of light
A ray of light
Roaming, colours they were sleeping
Senses, they are never-ending
Find again the beauty in the suffering
Shade in the labyrinth
The path lies ahead
If you believe
Truth her name is honesty
Let her shine through your darkest temptation
Hidden
Deep, insincerity,
With your painted smile
So revealing
Tarnished,
Yet there's no fear in me
Feeding the flower that dies
Is a ray of light
A ray of light
Montañas de Silencio
Written by ?
Vuela tan alto
como puedas
Nadie debajo
nadie está detrás
Siempre comienza
cuando estás solo
Amor, temor,
siente y encuéntrate
en la soledad
Tuya y nadie más
Translation:
Mountains Of Silence
Fly as high
As you can
Nobody below
Nobody is behind
It always begins
when you are alone
Love, fear,
feel and find yourself
in loneliness
yours and no one else
