1. As the Light Leads the Way
[Music and words: M. Andersson]
[Guitarsolo: Patrik]
Someone close left you behind
you were filled with sorrow,
you were crying all the time.
You were lost in your own world.
You were dreaming in deep sadness,
couldn´t break free.
Now you have to be strong.
Face the future, do not hide.
You don´t have to be afraid.
Open your eyes for tomorrow.
You remember all the things you´ve done.
(remember all the things you´ve done)
All these memories kept you crying.
Let it go!
Go on, don´t cry. You have tomorrow.
As the light leads the way, you will follow.
You´re lost into a world of sorrow.
Don´t close your eyes for another day.
You see the past as present time.
You have to find a way to let go,
break your chains.
All this grief has gone too far.
try to get a grip on yourself,
or you won't last.
You remember all the things you´ve done.
(remember all the things you´ve done)
All these memories kept you crying.
Let it go!
Go on, don´t cry. You have tomorrow.
As the light leads the way, you will follow.
You´re lost into a world of sorrow.
Don´t close your eyes for another day,
another day,
another day.
[Guitarsolo: Torben Enevoldsen followed by Patrik on the second half of the outro]
2. Under Fire
[Music and words: M. Andersson]
I am laying down, staring at the ceiling.
I feel a tension creeping up my spine, tortures me.
The more i think about it, the more i feel the pain.
Better try to fall asleep but damn I have to scream.
In my dreams everything´s alright.
I´m so far away from the misery.
The world´s in pain and in agony.
I am not justified to complain.
When the world is crying
why can´t we try to understand?
The world is under fire,
still we complain 'bout the small things in life.
I hear a clock ticking. The sound is killing me.
'Thinking 'bout the children that are starving
around the world.
Peace, love and understanding was meant as
a guiding light.
But I don't know anyone who follows that
great vision.
Our world is a falling star.
We have to realize it´s time to save the world.
In my dreams everything´s allright.
We have to understand we´re close to damnation.
When the world is crying
why can´t we try to understand?
The world is under fire,
still we complain 'bout the small things in life.
Under fire...
[Guitarsolo: Patrik]
When the world is crying
why can´t we try to understand?
The world is under fire,
still we complain 'bout the small things in life.
Under fire!
I am lying down, and I´m staring at the ceiling.
I´m feeling tension creeping up my spine,
Under fire!
Under fire!
3. Aqua 275
I AM THE MYTH, ENLIGHTENED AND ABOVE YOU ALL
I INHERIT THE HAVEN WHICH NATURE PROVIDES
A THRESHOLD TO AQUATIC LANDSCAPES
ABOVE THE SURFACE THE GATEWAY RISES
ENTER THE ISLAND SEE WHATS BENEATH
ONLY AN ENTRANCE NEVER AN EXIT
LIMITED ACCESS ENDS LIFE AS YOU KNOW IT
THE OCEAN GAVE AND I GIVE IT BACK
GODS OF THE DEEP SEE MY CREATIONS
TO SEE THEIR EXCELLENCE THROW AWAY YOUR PREJUDICE
CRASH INTO THE WAVES
FEELING THE COLD

TSUNAMIS WILL RULE A FLOWING JUDGE AND JURY
LIMITED ACCESS ENDS LIFE AS YOU KNOW IT

4. Witching Hour
[Music: B. Eliasson, Words: R. Landin]
I am the myth, enlightened and above you all.
I inherit the haven which nature provides,
a threshold to aquatic landscapes.
Above the surface the gateway rises.
Enter the island, see what´s beneath.
Only an entrance, never an exit.
Limited access ends life as you know it.
The ocean gave and I give it back.
Gods of the deep see my creations.
To see their excellence throw away your prejudice.
Crash into the waves, feeling the cold
down below.
Make your final dive into the sea.
Welcome to this world.
My fortress below will gather their forces,
hunt down the weakness in mankind.
The tide will wash all sins away.
Tsunamis will rule a flowing judge and jury.
Limited access ends life as you know it.
The ocean gave and I give it back.
Gods of the deep see my creations.
To see their excellence throw away your prejudice.
Crash into the waves, feeling the cold
down below.
Make your final dive into the sea.
Welcome to this world.
[Guitarsolo: Brörn]
Crash into the waves, feeling the cold
down below
Make your final dive into the sea.
Welcome to this world.
Crash into the waves, feeling the cold
down below
Make your final dive into the sea.
Welcome to this world.
5. In These Walls
[Music: B. Eliasson, Words: R. Landin]
A mansion was built on a foundation so black.
Appearance was flawless, with evil intent.
Pain in the concrete and hate pouring out.
Blueprints existing from a place beyond all.
Ravishing landmark exterior beauty,
hiding those secrets in rigid grey walls.
Remains laid to rest buried deep within,
twisting and turning in grotesque deformities.
Letting you in then grasps for your soul,
ripping and tearing your mind into shreds.
In these walls they will appear,
draining your life.
You'll never be sane again.
In these walls they will appear,
draining your life.
You'll never be sane again.
Windows like wounds, roof made of scales.
True eyes could see, you have to believe.
Inch by inch, expanding the limits,
devouring the ground with no hesitation.
Ravishing landmark exterior beauty,
hiding those secrets in rigid grey walls.
Remains laid to rest buried deep within,
twisting and turning in grotesque deformities.
Letting you in then grasps for your soul,
ripping and tearing your mind into shreds.
In these walls they will appear,
draining your life.
You'll never be sane again.
In these walls they will appear,
draining your life.
You'll never be sane again.
In these walls they will appear,
draining your life.
You'll never be sane again.
In these walls...
[Guitarsolo: Björn]
6. Out of the Shadows
[Music: B. Eliasson, Words: P. Svärd, R. Landin]
I can see a crimson moonlight
in the distance, far away.
The legend tells us the time has come.
The stars are shining in the sky.
This quiet night is about to turn.
Evil doings will try to take, take away the light.
I see a strange formation of clouds,
a majestic sight made by strange illusions.
A presence glows in the dark,
suddenly it turns around.
It spread it's wings, straight towards the sky.
I see a fire coming from within,
speaking words unknown to me.
Oh no! Flames are getting wilder.
The time has come for me to run.
Am I the only one aware of the outcome?
It came out of the shadows.
A thing of illusions that should not be here.
I don't know if the world knows,
a thing from beyond will take our souls away.
A blinding light
shooting from it's eyes.
The aim is set, turning brick into dust.
Infernal chaos spreading wildfire,
the earth is crumbling and ceases to be.
It's all fading away.
Everything is calm again.
It was just a dream, now it's over.
It came out of the shadows.
A thing of illusions that should not be here.
I don't know if the world knows,
a thing from beyond will take our souls away.
[Guitar melody: Björn]
Everything is calm again,
can't believe that it is over, yeeeeaaah!
It came out of the shadows.
A thing of illusions that should not be here.
I don't know if the world knows,
a thing from beyond will take our souls away.
7. Everyday is Up to You
[Music and Words: M. Andersson]
You live your life on your own,
that's what you've been longing for,
no one to depend on.
A room with naked walls invites you to your future.
The silence calms you down.
A candle lights up the room.
This darkened world of loneliness makes
you feel so pleased.
No obligations to fulfill, to serve another.
You are on your own.
You have lived your life devoted to love.
The memories of your past are fading.
You're not afraid of being lonely.
You feel obliged to this life, no regrets.
Everyday is up to you.
Imagination fills your mind.
Blue skies and a sunshine world entering
your dreams.
Newly found lust for life growing inside of you.
Now you're making memories.
Don't try to remember what you've had,
you've found a life more conveniante for you.
It wasn't meant for you to share your life.
You feel obliged to this life, no regrets.
Every day is up to you.
How you want to spend your time.
You've found more pleasure on your own.
[Guitarsolo: Patrik]
Everyday is up to you.
How you want to spend your time.
You've found more pleasure on your own.
You've wanted this for so long.
Everyday is up to you.
Everyday is up to you.
Everyday is up to you.
Everyday is up to you...
8. Dawn of Fury
[Music: B. Eliasson, Words: M. Andersson]
The night was facing dawn,
fireflies seized the air.
A man was heading out for new adventures
as a knight.
A guardian angel
lead him to his goals.
He was raised to settle scores,
show his clan his pride.
Mysteries are lurking in the shadows,
the trees are whispering his name through the wind.
He rides so brave and proud,
powerful with a heart of gold.
The blade is held up high as he goes into battle.
He passes canyonlands
to find the trophy and the prize.
He wanted honour and respect,
make his clan so proud.
He was seeking justice in the kingdom.
He was trusted to protect the children and the weak.
His reputation has been spread across the lands.
Bounty-hunters searched for him to bring him down.
Shout your name, call out your name!
Strike your blade and you will be remembered.
The violence, show them your game.
This world will fade if you loose your faith.
Allegiance will stay the same.
You've become a legend and a story told
you will defeat the bringer of war.
Then he met a woman,
love was born and he settled down.
His dedication for their love lead them to their altar.
One night a child was born,
who's destiny was already set.
Years passed and suddenly darkness
clouded his view.
He saw his family being burned to ashes.
Struck by fury and revenge, he went out of his mind.
Full of hate he became a slayer.
He raised his sword up high, electrified by lightning.
Shout your name, call out your name!
Strike your blade and you will be remembered.
The violence, show them your game.
This world will fade if you loose your faith.
Allegiance will stay the same.
You've become a legend and a story told
you will defeat the bringer of war.
Shout your name, call out your name! (Call out your name!)
Strike your blade and you will be remembered.
The violence, show them your game. (Show them your game.)
This world will fade if you loose your faith.
Allegiance will stay the same. (Will stay the same.)
You've become a legend and a story told
you will defeat the bringer of war. (The bringer of war...)
9. Slave
[Music and words: M. Andersson]
She was caged in a room without any way to get out.
She was lost in a darkness which
she could not figure out.
Couldn't stay there anymore.
She was trapped and couldn't get out of
there.
No nightmare is comparable.
She's been abused as a slave and she's suffering.
She felt the pain, (She felt the pain)
dreaming of freedom, dreaming of light. (Dreaming of light)
She'd find a way, (She'd find a way)
running for freedom, running for light. (Running for light)
She saw a chance to escape, she'd run
through broken glass.
Wouldn't feel anymore pain in that prison of slavery.
Now she's running for her life.
She was used to be chained, but now she's out of
there.
No nightmare is comparable.
Now she's free like she is supposed to be.
She felt the pain, (She felt the pain)
dreaming of freedom, dreaming of light. (Dreaming of light)
She'd find a way, (She'd find a way)
running for freedom, running for light. (Running for light)
[Guitarsolo: Patrik]
She was freed from the chains that kept her enslaved.
Now she's running for her life.
She was used to be chained, but now she's out of
there. (Out of there)
No nightmare is comparable.
Now she's free like she is supposed to be.
She felt the pain,
dreaming of freedom, dreaming of light.
She'd find a way,
running for freedom, running for light.
She felt the pain,
dreaming of freedom, dreaming of light.
She'd find a way,
running for freedom, running for light.
10. The Presence of Spirits
[Music: B. Eliasson, Words: M. Andersson]
I can't prevail spirits from their acts.
They appear to me as ghosts from strange dimensions.
My existence is surrounded by illusions.
I haven't chosen this life to live, 'cause I'm...
...able to see the presence of spirits.
Close your eyes and you'll see through...
Mine (mine)
and (and) feel (feel) my (my) misery.
As a child I learned how to live with it.
Feels like I'm losing consciousness in the real world.
Every time I go to sleep I hear whispers in the walls.
I'm really anxious to be free and left alone
from this spirit world. (spirit world)
Those christian ghosts can't find their peace.
That is why they're wnadering like restless souls.
I can see dominions of spirits.
Close your eyes and you'll see through...
Mine (mine)
and (and) feel (feel) my (my) misery.
As a child I learned how to live with it.
Feels like I'm losing consciousness.
As a child I learned how to live with it.
Feels like I'm losing consciousness in the real world.
[Guitarsolo: Björn]
I can see dominions of spirits.
Close your eyes and you'll see through mine.
Misery.
As a child I learned how to live with it.
Feels like I'm losing consciousness.
As a child I learned how to live with it.
Feels like I'm losing consciousness in the real world.
11. Scream
[Music and words: M. Andersson]
Just another bloody day.
You wonder what there is to do.
Your scream is echoing.
Your nerves begin to crawl.
You're tired of those days in silence.
You have no fantasies.
(Scream, scream)
Screaming in the night to hold on.
(Scream, scream)
Screaming to let go of your anger.
You are feeling like a wreck, trying to get by.
Well, you feel your heartbeat,
screaming out in anger.
You're tired of those days in silence.
You have no fantasies.
(Scream, scream)
Screaming in the night to hold on.
(Scream, scream)
Screaming to let go of your anger.
[Guitarsolo: Patrik]
You wonder how to spend your days.
You can't go on like this.
(Scream, scream)
Screaming in the night to hold on.
(Scream, scream)
Screaming to let go of your anger.
12. Losing Faith
[Music and words: M. Andersson]
I cannot take any of your lies.
You pushed me away too many times.
Losing my senses, 'turn to insanity.
I don't know if I am able to trust you.
'Refuse to go on anymore.
My love for you feels like a dream.
Sometimes you say you love me.
Why can't you do that forever?
No!
Don't cry no tears, I won't be chained to
your heart.
Your changing moods make me so angry.
I want you close to me.
You are the only one that I want.
Why are you so mean to me?
I just want you closer.
I can't blame you for the things I've done.
I don't wanna lose you again.
My life has fallen into pieces.
I'm crying for you.
My dreams, my life is about loving you.
'Don't want to cry.
I just want your love.
Don't disappoint me again.
[Guitarsolo: Patrik]
'Refuse to go on anymore.
My love for you feels like a dream.

My life has fallen into pieces.
I'm crying for you.
My dreams, my life is about loving you.
