1. Something Real
There was a shadow over heaven
On the day that I was born
They tried to bless me with holy water
But I was baptised in a storm... Oh yeahhh
I was raised with a crossbow aiming for something real
I sent out the arrow from behind my defense shield
Eternal dreamer so full of lite
A faithful believer soon I will arise
They tried to put me down
And it struck me hard
I used to turn the other cheek
Till they pushed me too far
Now I'm right on target
And my thoughts are clearer
Closer to balance as the end draws neare... Oh yeahh
I give you everythign just for a while
You got the best of me this is my time
The seed I've been given, Hallelujah
To grow my ambitions high
All you people of the western land
Is it so hard to smile and lend a helping hand
Open your hearts it can be simple
If you just show what you feel
Go look for something real
You can call me a peace warrior
A dark soul of light
I sing for the future
And the melody is my guide
Sailing the waters
Of this endless lullaby
My ship is leaking
Can't stop it if I try... Ohh
They tried to put me down
And it struck me hard
I used to turn the other cheek
Till they pushed me too far
Now I'm right on target
And my thoughts are clearer
Closer to harmony as my love feels nearer
I give you everythign just for a while
You got the best of me this is my time
The seed I've been given, Hallelujah
To grow my ambitions high
All you people of the western land
Is it so hard to smile and lend a helping hand
Open your hearts it can be simple
If you just know what you feel
Go look for something real
2. Gonna Find The Sun
3. Bridges Will Burn
I wanna wake up to a brand new morning
Dance in the sunlight when there's love in the air
I wanna see that we can live together
Control the fire and pass on the flame
Deep in the heart I feel sorrow and pain
I can't find the words it's so hard to explain
The bridges we build will burn down
The bridges we make will fall down down down
And so the story goes predictable and senseless
I fear a future so wicked and cold
Gazing from the outside looking inside for a reason
Been searching high and low
But I can't find my way back home
Deep in the heart I feel sorrow and pain
I can't find the words it's so hard to explain
The bridges we build will burn down
Yeah, the bridges we make will fall down down down
Deep in the heart I feel sorrow and pain
Tears in my eyes they keep pouring like rain
The bridges we make will fall down down down
Yeah, the bridges we build will fall down here
Deep in the heart I feel sorrow and pain
I can't find the words it's so hard to explain
The bridges we build will burn down
The bridges we make will fall down down down
Bridges will burn
I wanna wake up to a brand new morning
Dance in the sunlight when there's love in the air
I wanna see that we can live together
Control the fire and pass on the flame
I've searching high and low
But I can't find my way back home no
...and we are aiming higher higher and higher and higher
and higher and higher
4. Young Forever
Blessed with thunder
Crowned with rain
Fuelled with fire
As I spit out the flames
I bring you earthquake
I can be blazing
The demon in my soul is aching
To break free
It's the devil in me
Young forever
In my dreams I can never die
Somebody stop the time wheel
Freeze the night sky
So I can remodel history
Before I wake up the world
Search the answer on this stone of pain
Running with strangers
In the shadow of the game
Short is the moment
Cherish the moment that you've been given
Don't let them evil forces lead you on
And bring you down... down
Strong together
In our dreams we can never cry
We wanna slow the time wheel
Seize the day sky
You can remove my fame
Talk bad of my name
But you can't take my spirit
Can't kill the spirit... no
I've played some tricks
But I was mostly fair
I've had my women
But was love ever there
I brought you power
My energy raging
The chain that held my soul
Is now fading
And I'm free, it's the spirit in me... Yeahh
Young forever
In my dreams I can never die
Somebody stop the time wheel
Freeze the night sky
Strong together
In our dreams we can never cry
We wanna slow the time wheel
Seize the day sky
Before I wake up the world
5. Tungur Knivur
It was a long time ago
where the snowy winds blow
in the land of the midnight sun
in a storm sailed a viking ship
on a vast and long trip
the adventure had just begun
they were cold men of steel
with their swords and their shields
tungur knivur - heavy knife - tung kniv
there was thunder at the edge of the world
tungur knivur - pay the price - tung kniv
out to plunder with blades of steel
on the shore stood a warrior
his eyes are blue and sore
the only one to make it home
his soul was black as the raven
dark sinde the day when
his wounds had turned his heart to stone
he was strong without fear
hear a sound so clear
tungur knivur - heavy knife - tung kniv
there was thunder at the edge of the world
tungur knivur - pay the price - tung kniv
out to plunder with blades of steel
looking back at what was then
it was bravery of men
but time was bound to change everything
they would burn upon the cross
branded by a sacred cause
icon shadows turned to dust
tungur knivur - heavy knife - tung kniv
there was thunder at the edge of the world
tungur knivur - pay the price - tung kniv
out to plunder with blades of steel
6. One Day We Will Put Out The Sun
In the core of the earth a burning fire
Like the flame in my heart aiming higher
Bursting with power bound to explode
Some day the light will go black on the globe
Praying for a master
Someone who can lead us home
Falling in disaster
There'll be no more seeds to grow
On the streets of silence
Blood from war has dried out
There'll be no afterburn
One day we will put out the sun
And drain the sky
One day and the time will come... Yeahhh
We'll need no alibi... No no no
Since the beginning of life
A dark desire
Controlling the mindfields of man
Feel the world burn
The people never learn... Oh yeahhh
It's such a sad sad melody
On the streets of silence
Blood from war has dried out
And there's no return
One day we will put out the sun
And drain the sky
One day and the time will come...
We'll need no alibi... No alibi
On the streets of silence
Blood from war has dried out
We're gonna drain the sky
One day we will put out the sun
And drain the sky
One day and the time will come... Yeahhh
We'll need no alibi
One day... Some day
We'll put out the sun... We'll drain the sky... The sky
One day... The day will come... We'll need no alibi
7. Sunset Station
Well, I got time on my side as I roll the dice
There is something out there waiting for me
And I see roads without signs that can lead you blind
And the lonely way is easy to take
Hold on - hold on tighter
It's a long way to where I'm going
Meet me in a seventh sky
See me at the sunset station
Above the twilight I'll be flying there
It's just the state I'm in
Can't stop myself from dreaming
Won't stop believing I'll be flying there
Somewhere in a seventh sky
And as our life is told and we're growing old
Collecting pieces of the dreams we've been chasing
Brothers ans sisters of sin
Who's gonna loose and who's gonna win
Need a crystal ball to show me the way
Move on - move on faster
It's a long way to where I'm going
Meet me in a seventh sky
See me at the sunset station
Above the twilight I'll be flying there
It's just the state I'm in
Can't stop myself from dreaming
Within the starlight I'll be flying there
Meet me in a seventh sky
See me at the sunset station
Above the twilight I'll be flying there
It's just the state I'm in
Won't stop believing
Can't stop myself from dreaming
Meet me in a seventh sky
See me at the sunset station
Above the twilight I'll be flying there
It's just the state I'm in
Won't stop believing
Can't stop myself from dreaming
I got time on my side
Within the starlight I'll be flying there
Somewhere in a seventh sky
8. Hourglass
9. Gate Of Tears
10. House Of Cards
It's late at night
And I'm watching the news
There's blood on the screen
And I felt guilty somehow
Escaping from reality
When I close my eyes
Don't wanna see them die
Hear the children cry
There's been so much trouble
Too many sad songs have been played
And when you think you've found something real
It's suddenly so deceiving
Hard to believe in changes
It's a faded paradise
And I'm running out of strength
In this house made of cards
Smoke is rising
Playing in the fire
Change the mode - crack the code
Power overload
SOS - Emergency
No one seems to find the key
I've been seeking my fortune
For too many years
Living on the edge - racing time
But it never took me far
Never got to reach that star
And I'm running out of strength
In this house made of cards
Smoke is rising
Playing in the fire
Change the mode - crack the code
Power overload
SOS - Emergency
Will we ever find the key
What will the future be
I wanna see
We are living on the dark side
In a cold time - searching for the light
Stranded - and we will stand the fight
Must be hope in sight
The wind will blow and seeds will grow
And I know that someday we'll be there
In this house made of cards
Smoke is rising
Playing in the fire
Change the mode - crack the code
Power overload
SOS - Emergency
Gotta find the key
Save me - want me
These are stormy days
Playing in the fire
We are living on the dark side
In a cold time - searching for the light
11. My Own Way
12. Worldchanger
Earthly saviour can't you see
Bleeding is the world
Our behaviour so absurd
Need something to believe in
World changer - Soul rearranger
You've left us broken hearted
Since the day we started
World changer - Don't be a stranger
Let your healing power show
We've gone too far and can't let go
In the rythim of the heat
Feel the rush within
Day by day avoid defeat
Tell me there's a moaning
World changer - Soul rearranger
Shine your light on everyone
Make our life a happy song
World changer - Living with danger
You know we must be strong
Our will to carry on World Changer...
Always the same - lust for power and gain
Poisoned by demons of hellfire
Choose a map of the road and carry the load
Hold on till the judgement day
Holy land there's blood on the sand
Imperial ages marked by the beast
We still hold the wire
Always get our fingers burned
Will we ever learn why
I feel rush within me
World changer - Soul rearranger
Been waiting so long
Reveal yourself to everyone
Worldchanger - Soul rearranger
You left me blind I cannot see
13. Abyss Of Evil
14. Where The Winds Blow
15. Christine
There was a time when I was younger
My love was cold and I didn't know wich way to go
Then I was found by a shiny flower
She took me in and saved me from stormy wind
Christine - everyday she is so good - so good to me
Christine - she's everything a man would ever need
Christine - she lifts me up when I'm feeling low
Christine you mean the world to me
The way she moves me with her secret smile
She don't wear no make up
She is pure and wild
I'm as happy as happy can be
Oh, Lucky man, the man it's me
Christine - everyday she is so good - so good to me
Christine - she's everything a man would ever need
Christine - she lifts me up when I'm feeling low
Christine you mean the world to me
Christine - everyday she is so good - so good to me
Christine - she's everything a man would ever need
Christine - she lifts me up when I'm feeling low
Christine you mean the world to me
Everyday so good to me
I'm as happy as a man can ever be
Christine I can't let go
I love you so
16. Big
