1. Against the Wind
Zene: Tolkki/Kotipelto - Szöveg: Tolkki/Kotipelto
Once again I try to make things work
facing all the power of society
Searching all the answers of the life
I´ll never make it on my own
Was I meant to fail everytime
Seems to me thats my destiny
Is this all that´s left to me
Confusion and bad memories
But now my time has come
No more running in the dark
I want much more than this
I really want it all
Against the wind we run
to every place under the sun
We´ve got so much power inside
We will never give up
Against the wind we go
towards the new shore
together we´ll forget the sorrow
it´s forever gone
2. Distant Skies
Zene: Tolkki - Szöveg: Tolkki
Went into the plane was scared like hell
tried to relax for awhile
But when we took off I feared we would fall
waving goodbye to this life
I´m flying through winds tonight
no sign of the dawn or light
Silhouettes in the sky
wings are carrying me through the night
Sihouettes in the sky
destination unknown - Distant Skies
Then after awhile I tried to sleep
but watched two movies instead
The fear struck again how I hate this plane
Hope this would come to an end
I´m flying through winds tonight
no sign of the dawn or light
Silhouettes in the sky
wings are carrying me through the night
Sihouettes in the sky
destination unknown - Distant Skies
3. Galaxies
Zene: Tolkki/Kotipelto - Szöveg: Tolkki/Kotipelto
Hear my call don´t waste your time
remember what we´re fighting for
Hear my voice take my hand
We´ve got to win this war
We were meant to be free
not to live in slavery
To the other Galaxie we go
gather all our strength before they know
Soon the time will come for all of us
to unite our souls and hearts
save the universe
4. Winter
Zene: Tolkki - Szöveg: Tolkki
Silence is all I hear
Blackness fills my world
Midwinter days and lonely nights
Depression takes over
my frozen mind
Morning starts a new day
Dawning nowhere to be seen
Oh, won´t you break
my chains and let me go
free as a bird in the sky
Winter blows colder
I´m growing older
Visions of darkness
breaking the silence
Winter blows colder
I´m feeling older
Light fades away
I´m here to stay
I´m telling you no-one could ever take your place
open your eyes and you will see

6. Lord of the Wasteland
Zene: Tolkki - Szöveg: Tolkki
I´m going back through time
before the war this crime
who would have believed
that they would do it
One April morning
without a warning
the sirens woke us up
two minutes to live we got
I´m dying I´m crying
still I´m the lord
I´m fighting denying
still I´m the lord
of the wasteland
Now I´m alone here
the last man on earth I´ll be
walking through chaos land
there´s just black mist and sand
I´m dying I´m crying
still I´m the lord
I´m fighting denying
still I´m the lord
of the wasteland
7. 030366
Zene: Tolkki - Szöveg: Tolkki
I´m your god computer´s my name
Give the password or you will fail
I will lock you into my mind
Your number is all you will find
Don´t try to run
(I´ll take your life and the will of your power)
Under the sun
(There is no place where you can hide)
If you are a virus instead
Go away there´s nothing for you here
Log you out of my system
No use commands are always the same
zero three zero three six six
8. Nightfall
Zene: Tolkki/Lassila - Szöveg: Tolkki/Lassila
Shades of night
I´m walking through sleeping village
that is having a dream of thousand dreams
Moon is guiding my way through the land
the snow is silently falling
from the sky that is lit by million stars
Nightfall
I feel the breeze
Nightfall
on my face
Nightfall
and the trees are
Nightfall
covered with white lace
9. We Hold the Key
Zene: Tolkki/Kotipelto - Szöveg: Tolkki/Kotipelto
I´m watching as the morning sun rises
before my very eyes
Revealing all this beauty
Questions fill my mind once again
clearing my thoughs have I been blind
Now I see
The hole is getting bigger in the sky
do you know the reason why nobody seems to care
Everything is so well in your life
did you ever give a dime
to things that you really believed
The future will show
what happens to our world
We hold the key to the door
of salvation eternally
We hold the key to minds
to the future of mankind
It´s time to wake up from you dreams
to reality this can´t go on believe me
If you just turn your head away
will tomorrow be the same
try to foresee
The future will show
what happens to our world
We hold the key to the door
of salvation eternally
We hold the key to minds
to the future of mankind
What will we find
mountains to climb
more destruction
and hatred we´ll discover
Suddenly sounds awake me
birds singing beautifully
Maybe there is hope still left
in this world
10. Twilight Symphony
Zene: Tolkki - Szöveg: Tolkki
I´m entering in to the woods
I left everything behind
I have to follow my heart
Don´t know what I´m looking for
Starlights guiding my way
to old black oak where we meet
now it´s full moon
other side is calling me
singing dancing this is no dream
Twilight Symphony
The feast is going on
rapture never seen before
the fury is taking us
into a new level soon
Hearing voices everywhere
telling me what to do
giving me answers
other side is calling me
singing dancing this is no dream
Twilight Symphony
The spirits are calling me
I only wish to die
there is no question why
anymore
