It truly makes the most beautiful music Everything it has to give It's everywhere hiding the listener Without it I could not live ...Silence

We only have one candle To burn down to the handle No matter what they say If you live like a man, You live in tales you tell
To rage and run like a fool You need no brain, your best tool Stay put and as they say Live like a man, the only way you can
You let the phone line bring it home to you The life, the lies, the dreams You cannot see the real thing underneath - Naked truth revealed
You type your name on one row To get dosed-up tomorrow You live in a CC dream, with your machine It's your goal supreme
You think you have it all now The wisdom, power, know-how Can't even think you're wrong This is the way the brain of a male is made
You let the phone line bring it home to you The life, the lies, the dreams You cannot see the real thing underneath - Naked truth revealed
If you live, you will die You won't live forever stuck in time Ebb and flow, push and tow You must keep it real to find her
You let the phone line bring it home to you The life, the lies, the dreams Can't even see the real thing underneath - Naked truth revealed
If you live, you will die You won't live forever stuck in time Ebb and flow, push and tow You must keep it real to find her
[Repeat Chorus]
False News Travel Fast
Tony Kakko
I Look out the Window, I see the sun in the sky, for now, it is not for me Stories of old times, Black Book of Lies with no reason nor rhymes No secrets, no disguise
Colour of the jealousy that hangs over thee Why don't you believe, You still do not know me
Books of true tales, Mirrors of tragedy Remorseful and pale As always These news travel fast
Walking cross snowfields, how can I trust in this path I leave fading behind me Pleading not guilty. It's in the nature of humankind Installed in a manchild
Life can -do it in many ways, toss dirt on your face But I am your man, and for you I do all I can
[Repeat chorus]
Standing on the station, watching your train slowly disappear I'm only shell of a man, I thought you knew who I am...
[Solos]
But go ahead and blame the fool You have beliefs that aren't true I have not lived the life you read from
The books of true tales, Mirrors of tragedy My life is no game It's a real shame the false news travel fast
Why do you keep me in the agony? "The Book of true tales" How can you hate and keep me in this agony? "The Mirror of tragedy" I haven't lied, I haven't cheated! "The Book of true tales" What do you think? What do you see when you look in "The Mirror of tragedy"
And I'm still your man, and for you I do all I can
Books of true tales, Mirrors of tragedy Remorseful and pale as in past, these news travel fast
The books of true tales, Mirrors of tragedy My life is no game It's a real shame the false news travel fast
The End Of This Chapter
Tony Kakko
[Chapter One] I gave you my time I gave you my whole life I gave you my love, every dime They told me it was... a crime
Do you remember? Or did it all go in vain...
[Chapter Two] I looked in the light, I sat in your coalmine The promise they made, I should keep? Make sure that we would never meet
I can't remember The promise I made so deep
Tell me that past times won't die... Tell me that old lies are alive
[Chapter Three] Across darkened skies, I travelled without a light I sank in the well of my mind Too deep, never to be found
I can't remember... How could you be so vain...
Tell me that past times won't die... Tell me that old lies are alive Love that expired too long time ago Kills me, it thrills me...
[Chapter Four] You have new love and It looks good on you I have never wished you dead, yet.
You can now have all the things I could never give to you Look out the window "c'est moi"...
[Chapter Five] I'm sorry, I am here I'm not sure if it should bring you fear I whisper in your ear Why is he here'
[Chapter six] While you are sleeping, I steal your ear ring Light you one candle, this anger I handle
They said I won't find you, but now I'm beside you I'm not all that stable You should know by know that you are mine...
Tell me that past times won't die... Tell me that old lies are alive
I tell you that past times won't die... I tell you that old lies are alive Love due to expire too long time ago Kills me, it will kill you...too
Black Sheep
Tony Kakko
In love with the maiden, The flower of winter Lowbrow children, in grove of the inland How many times heart's gone thru the grinder wherever you look there's a painful reminder
Singing a love song, words of a stranger The howling miller, never to face her
Temple of the evil, Temple of the weak no one knows how bad he feels Late-night innuendo, tempetation of the key "Live with the Blacksheep, live with me"
Insanity, blessing for those born to hate you Burned by the embers of love, it is so cruel Howling the night, for sun of the midnight Serving the people, condemned you in the eternal night
of the lost song, words of the stranger The howling miller, never to face her
[chorus]
Land Of The Free
Tony Kakko
From the shadows of the stars Comes a man with no face, soul of million scars An evil Count, The End of Days There are many ways to
Take full advantage when we cannot see Make us live in an part-time reality
To get a hold of the only seed We must make them all see bloodshed that is he Splitting hairs is not the key Water and fire
Take full advantage when we cannot see Make us live in an part-time reality
One flash of light and for good we are gone No-one to wonder what we have done New breed of ignorance, new circle will start Unless we try real hard
[solo]
When you wake up, was it a dream All the sick paradoxes all around the world In the mean time, Count, he leaves From the land of the free
Take full advantage when we cannot see Make us live in an part-time reality So he takes full advantage if we cannot see Makes us live in an full-time insanity
Last Drop Falls
Tony Kakko
When I'm looking in your eyes Everything seems to fade away After all these years we had do I know you now Have I trusted blindly in your love, too many times
You said: "hey, my love, I'm sorry but we can't go on 'cause I'm in love with someone else" Tell me, what do you want me to say When you treat me this way
Oh I love you, maybe And I hope it goes away Oh, how I want you daily I know it's gonna stay
You are so self satisfied Always ready for a ride Double crossing, lousy cheat, love you anyway You have warm and tender devils soul, you are so low
I can hear you say: "I'm sorry, should we still go on, I'm not in love with that someone else" Tell me, what do you want me to say When you treat me this way
Oh I love you, maybe' And I hope it goes away Oh, how I want you daily Tell me now that...
I have found the whore in you Why can't I tell you no Time will show, the last word is for me If you fail to see the problem we have, one room full of walls Jar of love isn't dry until the last drop falls
The moment I will step aside, you're ready for another ride Walking in the cool night air without underwear You have red light burning in your soul, I've seen the glow
In every dream I have I say: "I'm not in love with you" But every day I say I do You have messed with my head so many times Forced me to love you [spoken]
Now that... I have found the whore in you why Can't I tell you no Time will show, the last word is for me If you fail to see the problem we have, one room full of walls I will try until the last drop falls
San Sebastian (Revisited)
Tony Kakko
I could see my life, short film passing my eyes I tried to look away from her, as always I just tried
Sweetness in her eyes, gone thru one million miles How could I turn my back on her, the sweetest thing alive
I was eager, day time dreamer, waiting time when I'd come alive
Sun of San Sebastian eighteen years young today She's all I ever dreamed, but now my skies are turning gray It was good I got to know her well, because it made me see That the sun of San Sebastian is just too hot for me
Look what I have done to my San Sebastian I wasted all my childhood dreams by staring at the sun
Back in time with a dream of mine I try to find my way back to life
Burning fever, night time screamer, waiting time when I'd come alive
Sun of San Sebastian oh why I cannot stay She's all I ever dreamed, but now my skies are turning gray It was good I got to know her well, because it made me see That the sun of San Sebastian Is just too hot for me
Every single day, for the rest of my way I live without my love, my God, I have to stay in shade When I'm old and gray, I remember that day When she came, that perfect dame and she blew me away
I was eager, day time dreamer, waiting time when I'd come alive
Oo-oo... Was it good I got to know her well although it made me see That the sun of San Sebastian is far too hot for me (yeah) Oo-oo.. Now I live my life in shades and I am married to the moon And the sun of San Sebastian is warming someone new
Sing In Silence
Tony Kakko
You were daddy's girl nice and sweet Never in trouble mommy's honey Little child who just couldn't see The pressure from her so called friends Was simply too much
The monkey slowly climbed on her back Offering an aid for her pain Giving love and care No-one cared, no-one cared...
Fragile like a rose on the snow Eating all your strength and your money Living in the shade day and night Never letting sunshine in your eyes like before
Cannot shake the monkey off your back Did I see a spark on your eye Was it just the last light of hope That died, hope that died
"Forgive me, Father, my daily sin..."
How can I forgive you, never leave you You know that if you live like, you will die like Haven of Emotion, Mournful Ocean Heiress of the Evening Sings in silence
"I need to have now, my daily sin..."
For all your life I prayed for time To show you where the light lies Now this is the end One rose for the memory of the innosence...
"I know, my Father, I cannot win..."
Never will forgive you, never leave you You know that if you live like, you will die like How can I erase your pain and aid you When Death wants to kiss you and you want kiss Him back...

Tallulah
Tony Kakko
Remember when we used to look how sun set far away' And how you said: "this is never over" I believed your every word and I quess you did too But now you're saying : "hey, let's think this over"
You take My hand and pull me next to you, so close to you I have a feeling you don't have the words I found one for you, kiss your cheak, say bye, and walk away Don't look back cause I am crying
I remember little things, you hardly ever do Tell me why. I don't know why it's over I remember shooting stars, the walk we took that night I hope your wish came true, mine betrayed me
You let my hand go, and you fake a smile for me I have a feeling you don't know what to do I look deep in your eyes, hesitate a while... Why are you crying'
Tallulah, It's easier to live alone than fear the time it's over Tallulah, find the words and talk to me ,oh, Tallulah, This could be... heaven
I see you walking hand in hand with long-haired drummer of the band In love with her or so it seems, he's dancing with my beauty queen Don't even dare to say you hi, still swallowing the goodbye But I know the feelings still alive- still alive
[Solo]
I lost my patience once, so do you punish me now I'll always love you, no matter what you do I'll win you back for me if you give me a chance But there is one thing you must understand
[Chorus]
Wolf And Raven
Tony Kakko
Grant me a wish, my master Take heed of me I have been loyal servant Heartfelt, humble
Gave up - what belongs to me Gave up my greed My self-examination Made me see, to be me
I am now like Judas, done Ashamed of what I've become Fear for life I wear as a ring To bask in your favor, I will kill the king
You say I am invincible I cannot die, I know, but anyway The words, they maim me
Grant me a wish, my master Compassion, please I'd like be a human ...maybe one day
I am now like Judas, done Ashamed of what I've become Fear of life I wear as a ring To bask in your favor, I will kill the king
[Entreaty:] let me go Master, I hate you so How can I sleep my nights When my whole being cries
I tried to be like everyone Open my soul But what I had to give Resulted loathing
Enchanted by the power Licked by the grace One beautiful black flower The end of the human race
With pride now face my faith King and Queen now lie in state Fear for life I wear as a ring I bask in your favor, I have killed the king
[Entreaty:] let me go Master, I hate you so How can I sleep my nights When my whole being cries
I had a nightmare The Wolf eating The Raven
Entrails of life on my plate And I ate 'em..
Interested in what I see Try that Rorcharch test on me Have you seen the beauty of the Enticing beast
[Entreaty:] let me go Master, I hate you so I cannot sleep my nights When my whole being cries
The Power Of One
Tony Kakko
Father I have killed many angels, I think. I will now walk in the sea. I hope you will someday forgive me Please moor my empty boat on a pier
I can blame for the blue blood that runs in my veins. But I seem to forget that we are all the same.
In your own blaze of hate you've spawn a fear in many lifes You've taken action thinking it was all said on the sings. You cannot heal the feeling burning deep inside your spine You now collapse, cave in revealing scabby marks of life
Mother I've seen too much, I hate to live my life. Forgot every word you told me, stubborn little child, (angel of your life) I have to find my Eden now, the gates I left behind. But the pain will remain. No power to gain.
Now I have time to dwell on, self awareness, dreadful crime. I saw the colors too bright, not knowing that I was blind. I slayed a man who took a chance and drank the forbidden wine. The map I draw reveals that I have been complete, machine, in team.
Father I've seen too much, I hate to live my life. Forgot every word you told me, stubborn little child, (angel of your life) I have to find my Eden now, the gates I left behind. The pain will remain. No power to gain.
Mother where's your son. When has this begun' Who has been the fool'
No one was born to be a servant or a slave. Who you tell me the color of the rain' In the world that we live on, the lies said and done They can well overrun the power of one.
No one was born to be a slave etc.
To live and let die To give hope and take life Is that what you're here for'
To think you are right To make sure it won't fly Is a making of a hate crime
In the homes of the brave, In the homes of the land slaves, We are all the same
I need to believe. There's more than the eye can see All colors of rainbow.
No one was born to be a slave Seek the past and place the blame Tell me the color of the rain No one was born to be a master
In the land we live, we die praise the oneness, praise the lie To bind a web around the faker We will need a true Rainmaker
"Children of Abel, Children of Cain Can live in harmony, without shame The keys that I grant thee, The Sacret Land Are dry desert sand on the palm of your hand Without the water, the wisdom of past Will run through your fingers, forgotten so fast Thus now when I leave you, I'm truly blind This blindness, this blessing, the hope of mankind..."
Respect The Wilderness (Bonus Track)
Tony Kakko
Winter in here ain't as cold as they say We have nature, yes, we know the way Accomodation in the lap of the nature Can give you a moving response, If you have the time...
Violate the law of the wild, see her lose her temper Drink the wine from her stream Have a time, she's there for thee
Build the campfire in a place you know safe And then see that you put it out right Can you see trail of garbage in there Maybe not, and that is a sign to follow
Violate the law of the wild, see her lose her temper Drink the wine from her stream Have a time, she's there for thee
You are still the number one Wilderness, my soul We may have or lose it all Respect the wilderness, Respect the life Save the nature for your unborn child
In the summertime we have night with no night In the winter she will hide the light Over the hills, hear the call of the wild You have yearning to get there, Lapland, madness
Violate the law of the wild, see her lose her temper Drink the wine from her stream Have a time, she's there for thee
You are still the number one Wilderness, my soul We may have or lose it all Respect the wilderness, Respect the life Save the nature for your unborn child
