"Repeat"- says the liar
"Repeat a thousandfold"
A lie into the truth becomes
Beneath the power always lie the weak
For whom the lie becomes real
Tales of equality for the cattle
The rule is to remain asleep,
Not knowing who's who
Never dream out of tune
Playground of darkness
Children of deceit
Pray and then have your meal
Becoming - walls falling down
Falling down to the ground
Becoming - on goes the storm
Sweeping who dares the throne
On goes the storm

We'll live, we'll bleed
We'll grow like a raging fire…
Or we will be ruled by liars
Their hell awaits, an age of hate is coming
You´ll see our peace is fading away
We need to be one when the enemy's close
Then you'll see the enemy fall
We need to be one when the enemy's close
Hear my calling
Today they killed to give our sons a lesson
We'll teach to keep fear from our way
With a song that’s keeping us together
That we’ll shelter for long
Through these times our hardest ever
Fate’s giving us the choice

Far beyond the hills
Where the wind's no leaf to stir
Stillness cracked all hope
Hunted down like doe
Saw the murk uncharted dare
Our very pledge to endure
Had no choice, for I knew your wounds...
Unarmed I charged at the herd of wolves
When fate called, it found me fierce
Fate called - Million beings beheld me soar high
They pierce like white pikes the night
Fate calls for me!
Near the barley fields
Where I'd play at dusk as child
Where our ways were sown...
Followed you for hours
To your death on humid ground
Star-like boding in yellow
"For your kin", taught the firefly
I dwell in them, I burn in the sky
When fate called, it found me fierce
Fate called - Million beings beheld me soar high
They pierce like white pikes the night
Fate calls for me!

All that I was,
All that I've lived,
Everything that I can remember
Lies in the past and will die in my mind.
Nobody can change what I've done
Nobody can rewrite my story
There's no regret that can rebuild what is lost
And I know that old good days will never come
Back again.
They're gone with the river,
Never will return; gone with the river
When all is gone with the river.
There's nothing more to do except to get up,
Carry on, and don't look behind.
Lessons are learnt only with pain,
But you must not feel guilty,
Soon you will know that every wound is a chance.
Yesterday's gone, all our deeds lie in the memories of people
And when it dies (at the end) it will be lost,
And I know
that old good days will never come back again.

Spare me - from the lies I was always driven to believe
Spare me - they'd surround me in the darkness
For my time is coming to the end…
And I've no rest
Had I felt the soothing wind before
Seen the ageing trees climb up forever
But you'll hear my name echo through the days
Then you will know I ran away from the storm
Calmly and in peace
Like an infant walking to the gates
Take me - such heart never felt hatred
For to die in peace is to return to Mother Earth

Guard your patch, crave their ground,
The lines I traced are before your eyes...
To tempt you, to divide you
To shake the rust from the old art.
Then truce came and I laughed hard
At words that won't soothe your angry mind
Your fate is to be drawn in...
My game board's set and awaiting.
Mutual curse, war cry, both heralds slain
I can't help but taste this day of chaos.
Rage on, rage on,
That the wicked wheel needs turning...
Rage on, rage on,
State you greatness
Rage on, rage on,
That you think history will enshrine.
One whole page for you.
This lad will die so lonely
When greed turns man to dust so soon
His name won't be remembered
Carved on a stone that's to erode.
Your great deeds make fine seeds
They lie beneath and are all alike
To please me, to release me,
The wheel prepares for a new turn.
Your guts and little glory
Are spread like compost in your last breath
You glimpsed me, when you realized
That no one's sorry for your death...
But I did give meaning to your days
Then you might just thank me for such service.

I saw a hawk willing to fly under blackened skies
Holding against a storm that came and's not turning back
I heard a cry fading out in the thickest numbness
Warning all of us never to be swallowed up by the void…
Born in the dark age - With their fallen souls, fallen souls
It’s in the dark age...that we drift on our own
Will we ever spread our wings of gold over the landscape...
And restore what is lost.
Loners in packs, filling the streets, see through lifeless eyes
Aching for coins, dullness resets with each passing sun...
Stumbling their way over bodies dead or dying...
Screwed to a routine that is able to squeeze the most of our souls

Reach down to the Earth
We will know the meaning of power
If god is dead let's take the world
From now on destiny is ours
Steel and disease to the ones
Raging against all we stand for
I’ll make us all return
Back to the heathen shores
Proudly on raven wings
We will overthrow
What always made us weak
Loud, shouting aloud, we're ready to fight
Breaking the bounds of the nations
Loud, shouting aloud,
We're shaking the ground
For a new revelation
Reach back to the Earth
For all that is scarring in me

Real and grim 'til the end of your days
Looking from within, you're going to find me
Counting sins with an eye stinging in like an arrow
Feed on the guilt of those who believe
Hear the rhyme, the everlasting lie
Dare to defy it...everlasting lie
Running blind to the saviour of souls
They were told about...
But they don't find him
In the eyes and the face
Of a cold lifeless idol

You brought forth an army of clowns
Fit for the masses daft
It seems I'm always on the wrong side.
Three or four words that you repeat
If you ask me that's rather bleak
In this game I play the traitor
Wave the flag, take control.
Gobble up, then go for more
March on, men of clay
Are you selves or slaves?
Don't put strings on me
'cause I don't want to be
A puppet from your legion of fools
I am breaking the rules
I spit at your wind of lies,
It won't serve to change my mind
You preach, you shriek, you're weak
You hide it fine.
Where were they in times of war?
Are they proud they've missed the show?
The past, a day ago...Look, they just forgot
