1. The Tower
(M.Karlsson / J.Lundholm)
So many miles through the unknown forests
Side by side through wind and rain
Desperate thoughts and fear in their eyes
They didn't really want to go
The tales and the stories were spread around
Well know to every man
Fools-they kept trying
Lord knows they kept dying
By the tower walls
THE TOWER WAS STRONG AND THE ENEMIES FEW
FOR THE GLORY THEY TRIED
FOR THE GLORY THEY DIED
THE TOWER
No mercy was given, no feelings showed
The human tracks along the wall
Screams of anger, blood and tears
Echoes from the underground
Despite the losses despite the fear
They gathered for one last attack
Fools-they kept trying
Lord knows they kept dying
By the tower walls
Chorus
What was the price of the glory
Now it seems so far away
No more blood will be spilled there
But the memories remain
2. In the End
(M.Karlsson / P.Olander / J.Lundholm)
On the horizon, I cry
Why is it my time to die
I can see what I've done
All the victories I left unsung
Might wonder why it's black
And how we lost the track
In our gardens of tray towns
Have mercy on the lonely ones
For the lonely ones I pray
IN THE END-With the changing of the season
ANOTHER DAY-I don't want to die
By the rivers of truth
People I knew passing through
There are losers and winners
Religious freaks and beginners
All day and late at night
I can and I just might
Take the same road again
Have mercy on the crazy ones
For the poor ones I pray
IN THE END-With the changing of the season
ANOTHER DAY-I don't want to die
3. Electric Messengers
4. Power Games
(M.Karlsson / J.Lundholm)
Fooled again by the same old song
Every day a new game is played
Start to wonder everybody wonders
What fool's gonna kill us one day
Wake up. You say you don't worry
The drugs won't keep you alive
Love it or leave it. Anyway you want it
Can't you see you're a victim of circumstance
A human brain will fail again
And then we all will receive
The products of a modern society
We've only got ourselves to blame
Wake up. You know that you're dreaming
The drugs won't keep you alive
Love it or leave it. One day you'll receive it
Bang, bang, you're dead
POWER GAMES: Pushed to the limit
POWER GAMES: Built to destroy
POWER GAMES: Ashes to ashes
POWER GAMES: Dust to dust
Wake up. You say you don't worry
The drugs won't keep you alive
Love it or leave it. Anyway you want it
Well, it's up to you now
POWER GAMES: Pushed to the limit
POWER GAMES: Built to destroy
POWER GAMES: Ashes to ashes
POWER GAMES: Dust to dust
POWER GAMES: Played to the limit
POWER GAMES: Out of control
POWER GAMES: If there's no way to stop it
POWER GAMES: We've only got ourselves to blame
5. Blessed By Night
6. Secret Dance (Xymania)

8. Mind Over Muscle
9. Whiter Than White
