1. Eternal (Ikuinen)
I no longer see but just a shadow of that what I was so afraid of
Still I won't change too much so that I wouldn't lie
about useless things that are soon running in a circle
Today, I want you to read my words out aloud
Can't you see? There's no way I could break my promise
On the white bedlinen another wants to make everything eternal
There's too much love in one heartbeat of mine
Receive me and save me from myself
as each empty day is too much for me
I won't read farewells as I'd curse you my dear
Stay in my arms, whatever you give I'm sure to carry
On the white bedlinen cradling another to eternity
In vain I have protected each beautiful word of mine
Would you receive it if I gave you my most sacred treasure
Let me protect, let me fight on your side against the evil of the world
Romeo abandoned Julia
Julia abandoned Romeo
but you
you're eternal
2. Your time is now (Aikasi on nyt)
You don't need to get up at nights
as you cry through them all
And in the morning you don't remember
why your heart was raped
Who undressed you with his lies and punctured your eyes
So that in every moment you lived to the fullest
and took everything at once, you knew that, too
Hey, your feet can still carry you through one life
that's how it is, because the whole world is hanging on your shoulders
Your eyelids are heavy, you must fight against
that's how it is, so your time is now
For you fear is a sickness that must be medicated,
dreams that have already been buried
When you don't want anything, you no longer know anyone
Who would know you the way you were when you were carved
So that in every moment you would still live to the fullest
and you wouldn't wither like all the others around you
Now, with weights around the ankles floating in the air
forgetting where I or she was buried
3. Vigilant coma (Valvekooma)
Our road takes us further from the sun
We are hoping at the mercy of chaos
But hope and love will never die
from the ash we rise to resistance
Now it's the time of new revolution
and the time will show who will rule
The ones with hearts of stone, surrounded by a black aura
will take us into vigilant coma
If we find our place in the sun
the golden gates will summon us
4. Goldfishes(Kultakalat)
In the harbor a girl is waiting for the ship
The horizon is under a river of tears
An own place in the stars has been promised
It's been shown that there far away
there's a better place to be
Like a goldfish in the maelstroms of the bottomless sea
is not afraid of days or cold nights
The hell has been familiar for a long time
The boy has believed and negotiated peace
You'll get to the destination if you always make your wish
in the evening when travelling under a storm
It's better be this way
Like a goldfish in the maelstroms of the bottomless sea
is not afraid of days or cold nights
Just like goldfishes
are our promises in the arms of the wind
In the middle of our journey I'd already like to be at the destination
5. Festive room (Juhlahuone)
As memories of that time
there are lots of scars that weren't diluted by
loneliness
that won't disappear, that won't go away
without you maybe withered away
before it was the time
At those moments
when the soul has been thrown away
it would be enough to have just one chance
to feel and to find the only right one
to bury away all one's sorrows
I spread my wings for the last trajectory
changing my direction from the arms of the night into the morning dew
Yes, I knew that it can't rain all the time
at the moment when you stepped in the festive room
Without hope
the journey seems endless
from this far, from the heart of darkness
to the unknown
After the fight our deeds shall be weighed
at foot of wisdom
You're the one who sets me free
6. Silver (Hopea)
In the lights outside I can't remember the place
where we met last
in those evenings when we floated in the air
I knew that I could never fight against, either
I want to come near you
I want to rise still higher
I knew everything will change anyway
my dream will have to wait again
somewhere else, without you
I knew the shadows will step aside into silver
Being lifted by teeth by the back of the neck
before morning you're already elsewhere
I remember you as most beautiful one
in that world of mine
something like that I couldn't even imagine earlier
Still I won't give up
I won't cry on your wrists
we are ourselves the guardians of our own deeds
7. The world is blowing (Maailma puhaltaa)
I still don't want to understand
why my soul is crying
messing up everything in front of me
Anyway, I can hardly make out
anything in here
my eyelids are heavy, my soul's on fire and shedding ashes
I wouldn't like to give up, to break our bridge
It's better to be with you than at the brink of the precipice
When the world is blowing
the heart is beating, it can't choose
I'd like to know whether to inhale joy or sorrow
I'm left alone, your hand still doesn't grab me
but it moves away
How could I explain? How could you understand?
When the imagination goes around I'm not present
You don't remember me when I was there
I want you to know that you've gotten a part of me
8. Wrapped in silk (Silkkiin käärittyinä)
Damaged are the wheels of the world
Rescued from it's cold arms
The others' miens are like a grey mass
from among it your face shines like the sun
In my fears our minds turn numb
Inside of me our hope is in safe
We go hiding, when the seal breaks
I watch from aside when the world ends
finally
Like wrapped in silk in the maelstrom of the world
I'll never let loose
And even if I were powerless I'd carry us
with armies on the heels
My destiny lives in you
keep it secret, keep it safe
And I'll never let go of you
Under the shining stars we're wandering to safety
finally
9. Away from me (Poispäin minusta)
My mind is shaken, disappointed, given up
turned to the point where I will find you again
though I knew long ago that you're going
My feet are heavy, they follow me to tomorrow
you don't hear me when you're finally there
frustrated on my icy wrists
You're still circle me, you push me to insanity
I hate you
I want you to leave, again I start the sentences
Go away from me
don't come any closer to me
if you don't have a good reason to stay here
Our bodies want to function, but we're responsible for everything
What do you want from me? Do you think that I wouldn't give up everything
Broken, mended for the final scene
I'm afraid of giving up
that you aren't there
when I again start the sentences
Go away from me
don't come any closer to me
if you don't have a good reason to stay here
Don't come closer to me,
don't even look at me,
if you once have no good reason to stay here.
10. You paint my mind (Sinä maalaat mieleni)
The fear of everything leading
into the same black abyss
It wasn't real
when the time stood still
Those tales about happiness
were born again
You paint my mind as beautiful
as a drug forever streaming in my veins
You stay inside of me and through the time
our love will flow
There are moments when I don't want to remember
the time on the edge of the precipice
I see everything in a more beautiful way
because of you
I feel that everything's changing
nothing's left the way it used to be
That black curtain is gone
forever
