1. The Last Viking

the day is coming to an end, and
darkness is my only friend, only friend

adrift in the ocean, I'm lost in emotion,
the ship is my cradle, I long for the
stars, I'll trade my life, I just want to see
the stars!

an old and tired Viking, I'm soon to join
the sea, the darkness will embrace me,
the frost will set me free
I'm burning in my broken ship, my sails
are full of sorrow,
beyond is Valhall, vast and void, where
the gods will drink with me

the moon is floating in the rain, the
gods are laughing at my pain, at my
pain

a final decision, to meet with my
makers, they clouded my vision, I look
for the stars, I'll trade my life, I just want
to see the stars!

an old and tired Viking, I'm soon to join
the sea, the darkness will embrace me,
the frost will set me free I'm burning in
my broken ship, my sails are full of
sorrow, beyond is Valhall, vast and void,
where the gods will drink with me




2. Burning Eyes

running with the devil, racing thru the
years, staring in the face of death, had
way too many fears
tried to move the mountain, only moved
the air, only finding rocks and there are
windows everywhere
thunder in the evening, fire in the sky,
witches all around me, and I'm
powerless and high
later in the morning, sky is coming
clear, all regrets are gone, and Jesus
cries another tear

I found the answer in your burning eyes

floating with a shadow, tumbling thru
the wind, swimming in the light as if I
never really sinned

tried to find the rhythm, crying in the
rain, tried to fight the answer, but I
fought'em all in vain

I found the answer in your burning eyes

a day may come and shower you with
joy and happiness, the next day all you'll
see is pain and fear, you find your own
nirvana and it's not for me to guess,
but then you'll see it clear




3. Valhall Scuffle (Instrumental)




4. Fading Away

you took away my sense of destiny, we
laughed away so many days
too many miles apart to keep it real, we
had to go our separate ways

fading away, fading away, we saw the
light together, but now you fade away

I thought that life is either black or
white, the truth is somewhere in
between

fading away, fading away, we saw the
light together, but now you fade away




5. Forest Song

I come from the northern woods, I dwell
in the snow, I found all my answers long
ago
the winter the enemy, and summer is
cold, the gods in the sky are growing
old

the sky is my only roof, the forest my
friend, the river is in my blood, i stay to
the end

the forest is wet and cold, the forest is
dark, say, have i the will to leave my
mark
I ask to the northern star, it's up in
the sky, I wanted to know I before I die




6. In the Mirror

all in a flash of light

the truth is deep, the grave is shallow, a
deeper mystery found, but there's no
one to follow
I see myself, a burning fire, the clock is
ticking away, but I've never been higher

beyond the sky, is something there, I'm
asking why, too much to bear, I'll find
my peace, it's in the light

in the mirror, seeing clearer, I see my
soul

a flash of light, without a warning, the
spell was broken again, with the mist of
the morning
adrift in space, just like I'm falling, I
vanish into the wall, is it Death that is
calling

in the mirror, seeing clearer, seeing
nearer, reach into the light

all in a flash of light




7. Samurai (Bonus Track)




8. Close to You

they say that love will never last, i really
thought so in the past, it didn't last

I always ways the last to know, but now
I'm going with the flow, i have to know

close to you, close to you, I don't want
to think it thru
close to you, close to you, all my
dreams are coming true
close to you, close to you, all my
dreams are coming true, they're
coming true

I never used to have a doubt, nothing
was waiting to come out, but now I
doubt
they say that love is never blind, but
now i think I lost my mind, I'm going
blind




9. Carry Me

I sometimes wonder why the years go
by, and in the end we always die
but when I held you close, time almost
froze, they say it's life but no one knows

carry, me through eternity, we're
holding the key, we'll always be free
carry, me through eternity, we're
holding the key, we'll always be free

this world has so much hate, we
shouldn't wait, I feel the force of love
and fate
I know you'll be OK, don't go away, we'll
live to fight another day




10. Winter Battle (Instrumental)




11. Alone

rainy morning, and I look into your eyes,
see in the wonder, you're an angel in
disguise
windy evening, and you tell me all your
lies, tears are falling, and the love within
me dies

without a fear I have to turn around and
run, your crazy world will still be
spinning when I'm gone
I realize I feel like breathing on my own,
and I want to be alone

I want to be alone, I want to be alone

winter coming, the flowers are dying,
snow is falling, the angels are crying

your crazy world will still be spinning
when I'm gone, I feel like all the color's
going out
without a fear I have to turn around and
run, nobody knows what is all about
