Excalion

For me adorement outspoken Along with the blinding flashlights Pieces of me are wanted and taken I had never before felt stagefright It was a song that just came through me Like hundreds before had done But this one had a different feel This time I wrote too g...

It feels like yesterday When I was told a little tale About a broken road A tale of fortune and of fame There was a time When a man couldn't find his kind There was a rhyme Which made a man make up his mind In those lines I heard you say Fare well on your wa...

I like to be lost in starlight Shattered beauty of a little child I have come here a long way Beyond the winds, but I won´t stay I´m done with those who betray Anymore nothing goes astray All unfolds, bitter and realized Alone I stand with the memories Tens...

Welcoming the new century when hopes were soaring high Came along a child with starry eyes the colour of the sky A few years more and the drums of war were thundering away And a pair of eyes cast in the sky saw wherein lay the way There was a place to be for...

How different are the doors and walkways when it´s dark outside The sounds and memories appear to twist and turn the mind The rainy days have gone on far too long to be recalled I crossed a line and now it´s time for another night Looking for me behind the wi...

I was told to look behind the eyes But it seems our vision is not clear The things inside can hardly be set free Between the lines there are some things I never want to hear I tried to convince myself The feeling is true Regain understanding Once between me a...

Fifteen days and nights Out here in the wild What is it that I'm hunting for I'm not sure It is moving fast Through its native land It is always one day ahead Out of sight Bring on the storm Let it rage on Won't give up, not this time Can't stop now, anymor...

Time it moves too slowly Life’s too short for such a pace I have conquered my days Outlived my meagre years Every nightly hour I lay low and hide The window opens wide This glowing screen, these worlds unseen They are my private time machine On every page a...

Be here for a while or two while I cease to talk In fine northern breeze on the shore it is cool to walk Wherever we are, we’re never too far We just came ashore We’re stranded and lost, we follow a star To be home once more Home of our past lives on in dream...

Men of the times long gone kept count of the days Observed and memorized the movements of the stars Turned to the river with an invitation And each year it answered them In rising waters a new beginning The weary land brought to life again Silently I can hea...

For time past remembering I have talked to the sea Above all beloved for Not speaking back to me Silent friend throughout the years Of much of harm and strife Fierce, infuriated Now comes to claim my life Hand clutching the ship-rail Appears to be my own So m...

Gone, I compare with none They would never let me miss a step, catch my breath Done, I’m finally down and stunned Tried my best with this stumbling mind, but fell behind They speak to me like I cannot see Flood of fortune awaits I should leave a mark, b...

No devil, no angel But I know how to be a stranger I do not know my way about But I'm seeking a way out Out of a roundabout Where are you from? I really feel Your eyes on me Welcome I am animated Come enter a life A life with me Welcome You are nominated To...

Winter Has not yet come But it's not afar As I approach My fireplace Wary This is a sanctuary and a hideaway I light a flame and end the day And something comes alive, it's burning, turning into fire Shows me a wonder under the November sky I stare and stare...

You're not strong on modesty Or sanity My favorite enemy I found your head in clouds Ten miles from the ground Quite frequently If you were here now I would have to say I don't think I know you Like I did one day Song that goes on forever The song we compose...

As a prince to the kingdom I was born To serve my king I swore Obey your master or become forlorn Is this my only task? I follow my heart To be free King of the kingdom I don´t want to be I follow my heart To be free King of the kingdom I don´t want t...

Further away each and every day I'll find a way to cross every ocean Loneliness, a permanent emotion Wherever may the journeyman stay I'm on my way from somewhere to anywhere I have learned not to ask when I'll be there You don't have to call me homeless I'm...

Pouring rain is falling down on me All hope is gone for me All alone remembering the past Hoping this picture to last Many years I've travelled on the path of pain I have nothing left to gain Again the rain is falling down on me My mind screams for horror I h...

This task was burden It was placed on my shoulders The goal is near But I lose all the answers Suffer in my eyes Defeat comes to conquer me Are these goodbyes? No escape to victory I promised to keep you safe, for eternity Now you realize what my words are w...

Some days I might rejoice My face shining with self-praise Everyone else is inferior The force to seal my doors To ignore the voice of yours Always makes me feel superior This is the fortress of me Foundations in vanity Here I´ve built myself high Head of mi...

I welcome the silence and the night winds breeze Again with a head bend down and I feel you watching me Nobody else can see me On the balcony I stand Holding a wedding ring so heavy in my hand You are the guidance, you are the light You are the force...

Patience is a thing that we don´t have We rush into things that we don´t understand Life floods in our newborn veins Intoxicating our reason in brain All is new to us, in all we trust Life is our lust Fast we will run towards our destiny All is ahead, we wil...

A bullet train is coming through Rain and gasoline Hear the melody? Do as winners do Life is calling my number In this place and time It's fine to be alive It's fine to be alive No need For fortune, hope or glory I have a lifetime To make history For me It'...

Some games are fair Some played with loaded dice Fake and loaded with lies Sweet words are cheaply sold No eldorado’s gold Ever met your eyes Castaway, thrown away One lesson learnt the hardest way Lift up your head and listen close As before, there is more,...

Arriving to oblivion, I am just waking up If all this is reality, worse than a bad dream It´s hard to stay awake in here where we all look each others faults One day it must be clear that no one is save from those Look at yourself, this road´s a dead end I ha...

[European bonus track] Päivää kolme on lähdöstä saattueen Vie loistosta köyhyyteen Miehen tuon, viittansa pois antaneen Ei takaisin tietä entiseen Kävi onneton mies herransa luo Jääköön maat ja rikkaudet nuo Miksi aarteita jäisi hän palvomaan On vapaus kult...

I’ve seen the highlands and I have been low I’ve been to places you’d rather not know A rock and a hard place have nothing on me I’ve been there and set myself free The game has been won, now I run up the score And then I will come back for more and more I’m...

The pendulum’s last sway Just one heartbeat away This midnight the time is right to let go In a carnival I see in your face a gentle glow If we crash and burn then let it be so Seize the day while we’re not yet old Seize the day before the trail’s cold We’ll...

One Friday morning, I finally found my paradise When I saw her I knew she'll be my sweet sacrifice Figure like an angel So beautiful but so fragile My mind ice cold, full of burning excitement Deep eyes outside of her small apartment Standing behind the window...

Finally I see that my time is near My sight is clear, filled with fear In here all that I see is grey Only lies are what will remain What we teach our children Tomorrow, what they'll sing If the evil one wins Shall my deeds remain after me May my sons make i...

Others have gone to paradise, those who made the sacrifice Not everyone did the rightful acts, they've come to end of their laps Things you did, were they justified, crimes you made you just denied Forgiveness allowed to everyone, look far behind and see what...

Live faster life Live hard and loud, be alone in the crowd Day in, day out Gain higher ground Be such a trickster That devil himself would be proud I’m a dancer, I dance on the line Live on day at a time I’m a lancer, my life’s on the line Rise or fall and de...

[Act I: Forlorn Son] I was never a child at all I was raised to stand as tall as father’s immemorial Born to be a portrait on the wall I am the race car, they’re the timer I’m the firstborn, set for higher power than I care to be It is not for me Blu...

Sometimes your mind makes twists and turns Dreams up something out of this world Relieves you of dull sanity Every once in a while you dream Or simply forget what is real And it enables you to flee Hell or high water Say hi to mother Earth and father sky Beh...

Why has the truth been hidden, compromised and sold with lies? You're just a puppet on a string, yanked in panic and told to die. Look behind the black veil, Curtains fall and panes break. Planets and stars collide. Gods cry and forget the weak. Humankind giv...

The bell strikes my hour, I greet the setting sun I do not understand why all of this is still undone The river that used to flood is now a bed of sand I only hope that these dreams will refresh this drying land The mind wonders across the time Never lets me...

I´ll walk the path forever it seems longer than ever sentenced to death I´ll die the last warcry I´ll sigh to give life to my pain only goal to attain he lives his life to keep, he swings his scythe to reap Following me eternally victory will come along...

The call arrived, to fight for the cause none of their own The choice denied, taken from home, leaving it alone They won´t see, what lays ahead When the sun has failed and they are dead Goodbyes are hard to say Under the sky of cold and gray Have you heard t...

I am losing my reality If their lies turn to truth I'm surrounded by their cruelty Only one way to choose They blow the light away And I start to fade The edge of life and death I scream for the death I wished from a shooting star To bring the end to this tim...

Rising up from this bed of haze The window´s closed still I feel the breeze Can´t recall what I´ve said or done Drifting away into subconsciousness Lost within myself can´t find Any place to hideaway from myself A bitter feeling in my mind Devastates me, lead...

Over Wide open deep sea Men toil on the trireme The stream Pulls us astray according To our sun stones The sail and the hull are silhouettes As we consult The stars and the stones The captain's eyes Are fixed in place And the course is staying the same With...

You'd rather smash the mirror Than look yourself in the eye Truth in its coldness Could make your childish dreams die The world is a stage where the legends are made But its cast is of farce The price to be paid is getting heavier today For all the fast-burni...

When I sleep you are there When I rise you’re a million miles away Long ago, long before dreamtime We were bound to rule the sky Up there far away, every single night The firmament is bathing in your light On the eclipse day, in vastness high It will be ours,...

I woke up, the dawn never came Colder than yesterday it feels to me We are coming home, we are young no more Innocent as before playing our games Call it a dream or an ideal It's gone anyway And the banners of the nations... Today They will march no more The...

In his sign You will see these golden letters Make sure that no one enters My mighty high house During the years Every desire slowly walked in Decorated walls are talking Of riches and fame And now he can tell When your heart is made out of gold It's going t...

I wake up in the morning, asking reasons why What to do tomorrow? What to do today? Looking at the ceiling, my thoughts floating by I got find the way, the way to live my life I look at the mirror, I see face unknown I want to break the pain, and...

Here lies the formless world we´re living in Gravity is finally giving in Bad dreams appear to me as cloudy haze To lose sight of you is to disengage High altitudes and still upward we go I was never meant to lead but to follow We are like a double shining s...

On jalat rauhattomat monet ovet kiertäneet Ja aina poispäin johtaa lyhyemmät askeleet On asioita, joita liian kauan pohdittiin Piilotettiin ja haudattiin Vaiettiin Sut palkitaan jos sisään käydä saan Jos sallitaan ja portit avataan Ei valvomaan kanssansa pyyt...
