CRIMSON
BLEED IN MY ARMS
(music: Laihiala & SENTENCED, lyrics: Laihiala)
No, you don't want me to be there…
To kiss your eyes, caress your hair… or kill that pain away
As pain is my companion, solitude my guide
Your sweet affection solely offers me a threat I cannot abide
Yet you'll lose yourself in me… in me
Bleed in my arms wounds within
Fall from grace as I offer you sin
Sacrifice yourself so frail…
This pseudo-love is as good as betrayal
So place your love in the palm of my hand…
where temptation lies within… that something you've yet to feel
And as I close my fist and awake your sleeping fears
Without forbearance I will quench my thirst of your crimson tears
You've lost yourself in me… in me
Bleed in my arms wounds within
Fall from grace as I offer you sin
Sacrifice yourself so frail…
This pseudo-love is as good as betrayal
Weep for promises which all died
A drop of tear for every lie
Love forever torn away…
I am only to cherish your pain
…I am only to cherish your pain…
HOME IN DESPAIR
(music: Tenkula & SENTENCED, lyrics: Lopakka)
Again the sky has fallen down on me
Once more a world has crumbled down and over me
And yet in some twisted way
I enjoy my misery
And in some strange way
I have grown together with my agony
I feel home in despair for I dwell in grief
and I feel home when the air's too thick to breathe
and I feel home anywhere human lives are going down the drain
For as long as I remember life has been hard
I guess they have "misery" written somewhere in my stars
For I have mourned for so damn long…
that I've forgotten what it was for
Everything has gone so wrong
that I really couldn't think of anything more
I feel home in despair for I dwell in grief
and I feel home when the air's too thick to breathe
and I feel home anywhere human lives are flowing down the drain
I feel home in despair for I dwell in grief
and I feel home when the air's too thick to breathe
and I feel home anywhere the light of day is drowned in heavy rain
Yet I know the worst is still to come
FRAGILE
(music: Lopakka, Tenkula & SENTENCED, lyrics: Lopakka)
So many times I have brought you down
that I have already lost all count
and I seem to be doing it again
No matter how hard I have tried
I have crumbled time after time
and kept failing in the end
Sometimes it feels it would be better for you all
If I ceased to exist or was never born at all
So many times I have let you down
shadowed the shine of our sun
and drowned you in tears and misery
that it is hard for me to see
how you can after all these years
still be standing by me
Sometimes it feels it would be better for us all
If I ceased to exist or was never born at all
Sometimes it feels it would be easier to fall
than to flutter in the air with these wings so weak and torn
NO MORE BEATING AS ONE
(music: Laihiala & SENTENCED, lyrics: Laihiala)
She was no longer precious to me…
I guess my hate grew much stronger than my love for her ever did
(I was) so tired of chasing that person who made me feel loved
and as we were embracing I cut and spilt the dearest blood
I'm praying for her soul as this blood on my hands stains me whole…
You were my life, from you I fed of
And now parted by knife - the suicide of our love
So callous and frigid was that stillborn soul…
yet no other half could ever make me whole
You promised: "…'til death do us part", and then you made a stone of my heart
And with the last rays of the setting sun the loveless pulse fades away
No more beating as one, no longer burns the flame
Gone are the times when I felt alive
Gone are those nights with you by my side
And now here I stand as the shadows grow deep…
With the death on my hand at your grave I weep
We were one yet not the same…
Once passion abundant, now pain
And with the last rays of the setting sun the loveless pulse fades away
No more beating as one, no longer burns the flame
…Love laved with stillness like the grave in my heart
and all the reasons huddled in your seeping blood…
And with the last rays of the setting sun the loveless pulse fades away
No more beating as one, no longer burns the flame
And with the last rays of the setting sun she bled her love away
No more beating as one, no longer burns the flame
BROKEN
(music: Tenkula & SENTENCED, lyrics: Lopakka)
I have come a long way where I started from
but I'm still not even close to where I'm going
(and now) I can no longer see the shine
that has been lighting up my way
I cannot feel its glowing
The fire in my heart is dying
and the zeal I had is gone
This path that I've chosen's a rocky one
Long, hard and frozen it has become
Each turn that I've taken on the way
has only led me back to Hell
I am dying down… growing weaker now
It could seem that I'm doing fine
but I'm broken to little pieces deep inside
Why did I ever choose to go this way
The question I keep asking myself all the time
I guess it was my instinct for self-destruction
that pointed me down this way
The fire in my eyes is dying
and the dream I had is gone
This path that I've chosen's a rocky one
Long, hard and frozen it has become
Each turn that I've taken on the way
has only led me back to Hell
I am dying down… growing weaker now
It could seem that I'm doing fine
but I'm broken to little pieces deep inside
KILLING ME KILLING YOU
(music: Tenkula & SENTENCED, lyrics: Lopakka)
Baby, have you seen, there is a snake in our paradise
A serpent that's wriggling between us
and freezing our feelings to ice
And with each drop of blood we bleed because of this
something so precious dies and it feels it really is...
Killing Me Killing You
Killing all we have
As our loves wither away
Burning Me Burning You
Burning us to ash
Drowning us in a sea of flames
Darling, do you feel, there is a storm coming our way
The burning light between us is already starting to fade
The fire in our hearts is smothered by the rain
and the crimson flame of passion turns into something gray
And with each drop of blood our shattered hearts ever bleed
something so precious dies and is lost eternally
Killing Me Killing You
Killing all we have
As our loves wither away
Burning Me Burning You
Burning us to ash
Drowning us in a sea of flames
Each teardrop from your eyes
makes something inside me die
Each of these days that draws us part
takes a piece from my heart
Kill me kill me kill me again with your love
and chase the storm away
Bring me bring me bring me the end with your love
and haunt the demons away
Killing Me Killing You
Killing all we have
As our loves wither away
Burning Me Burning You
Burning us to ash
Drowning us in a sea of flames
Kill me kill me kill me again with your love
and chase the snake away
Bring me bring me bring me the end with your love
and haunt the serpent away
DEAD MOON RISING
(music: Lopakka/SENTENCED, lyrics: Lopakka)
The darkness comes out of her shell…
Yet another cold night in Hell with all the pain
The dying light is losing its glow
And my last glimmer of hope now fades away
It is starting to rain again
I'm coming closer to my end with every breath
The creepy shadows are growing pale
And the rising glow brings along the sense of death
I can feel Her presence now
Dead Moon Rising…
Bleeding red light over the sea
-I hope this time She came for me
-I hope this time She sets me free
My wounds are open wide
The freezing wind blows right inside and feels like ice
The eerie glow fires up the sky
And She takes away my sight with Her shine
I can feel Her all around
Dead Moon Rising…
Bleeding dead light over the sea
-I hope this time She came for me
-I hope this time She sets me free
Dead Moon Rising…
Bleeding dead light over the sea
-I hope this time She came for me
-I hope this time She sets me free
THE RIVER
(music: Tenkula & SENTENCED, lyrics: Lopakka)
Yet another morning
that feels like this
Yet another life's bitter kiss
It has been like this for… I don't know how long
I only know that at some point
it all went wrong
I don't remember much from last night
but still far more than I would like to
I'm floating downstream that damned river again
What can I do now except continue
and open a bottle once more
What can I do now except see this through
and float with the stream, off the shore
- see where the river will take me
When I needed you, you weren't there…
now I need booze like I need the air that I breathe
With each drink I'm drifting further away from your world
the further off I get the harder it will be to return
It has been like this for… I don't know how long
I only know that at some point
it all went wrong
Floating downstream that damned river again
The river that's distilled from premium grain
What can I do now except continue
and open a bottle once more
What can I do now except see this through
and float with the stream, off the shore
- see where the river will take me
- see where the river will take me
ONE MORE DAY
(music: Tenkula & SENTENCED, lyrics: Lopakka)
It feels that your love for me
is slowly turning to dust
It seems that our union made of iron
is starting to rust
I hate life
I hate this shit
I love you and I hate myself
I hate our world
and everything in it
I hate loving you
I hate
I hate
Give me a reason to live
one more day
Let me just once more feel
your light through the rain
It feels that my love for you
is eternal, never-ending
but it seems that you're not receiving
what I have been sending
I love life
I love this shit
I love you and I hate myself
I love our world
and everything in it
I love loving you
I love
I hate
Give me a reason to live
one more day
Let me just once more feel
your light trough the rain
Give me a reason to live
one more day
Let me just once more feel
your love through the pain
WITH BITTERNESS AND JOY
(music: Tenkula & SENTENCED, lyrics: Lopakka)
It has now spread itself all over inside me
all the way to the brain and down to my knees
My time comes closer with each day it lets me see
- with each night the pain keeps me from sleep
Life has given me much - maybe taken more
but those good times were always worth waiting for
When it's time for goodbyes I will leave grieving and yet so relieved
with bitterness and joy
Pleasure and pain; Heaven and Hell - my memories
What a long and strange trip this has been for me
What a short and strange life this has been
It has given me much - maybe taken more
but those good times were always worth waiting for
When it's time to take leave of this world
I will leave with bitterness and joy
What a long and strange trip this has been for me
What a short and strange life this has been
It has given me much - maybe taken more
but those good times were always worth waiting for
When it's time for goodbyes I will leave grieving and yet so relieved
with bitterness and joy
Life has given me much - maybe taken more
but those good times were always worth waiting for
When it's time to take leave of this world
I will leave with bitterness and joy
MY SLOWING HEART
(music: Tenkula & SENTENCED, lyrics: Lopakka)
I gave and gave - gave all I had
I took and took - all I could grab
I had it all and I had none
Now the game is over and it's all gone
My heart is worn out to keep beating
My lungs exhausted by all this breathing
My mind's too tired to keep grieving
I was against and I was for
I wanted less and wanted more
I won I lost, I lost and won
Now it's all over and I am done
My throat is too sore for more screaming
My eyes too swollen for more weeping
My wounds are too dry for more bleeding
My blood too drained for more streaming
My heart is slowing down
Long short is life is short and long
Strong weak am I am weak and strong
My crop is ready for the Reaping
My being ready for releasing
My heart is slowing down
FROZEN
KAAMOS
(music: Tenkula & SENTENCED)
FAREWELL
(music: Laihiala & SENTENCED, lyrics: Laihiala)
I´ve dragged myself through the blood and mud
and with burning eyes pushed the love away…
No, I´m not the kind of man who´d play for keeps…
-The enchantment lies in the moment of goodbyes
For eternity…
-My sun has set down
I dream to flee…
As I suffer "the black" bleed into me
I regret every single day I ever lived in my life
I gave all I had in me… So it´s time to say Goodbye
The breath of wind beneath my beating wings
is slowly dying down…
-Yet raging it´s final blow!
As it crumbles down… my castle in the air
The relieving words of farewell end my earthly Hell
For eternity…
-My sun has set down
It has ceased to be…
The lightning that once burned in me
I regret every single day I ever lived in my life
I gave all I had in me… So it´s time to say Goodbye
DEAD LEAVES
(music: Tenkula & SENTENCED, lyrics: Lopakka)
Yes, autumn´s here again…
to put all forms of life to an end
-Death has taken over and slowly fades the light away
The deadly shadows fall…
and the bleeding sun sinks down below
-The first flakes of snow guide me on my last pathway
Alive no more… what once was green has turned to red
Leaves start their fall… gray with the whiteness of what´s dead
The wintry frost comes crawling
freezing all life that´s on its way
The first dead leaves come falling,
hovering in the air with the rain
I feel the flaming frost…
I feel the burning ice and snow for the first time
since the night she was taken away
Alive no more… what once was green has turned to red
Leaves lightly fall… gray with the whiteness of what´s dead
The wintry frost comes crawling
ceasing all life that´s on its way
Dead frozen leaves come falling,
hovering in the air with the rain
…hovering in the air…
"…and as the last leaf hovers down upon the ground,
the end is at hand - I´ll find the one I came looking for…"
Alive no more… what once was green has turned to red
Leaves lightly fall… gray with the whiteness of what´s dead
The wintry frost comes crawling
freezing all life that´s on its way
The last dead leaves come falling,
hovering in the air with the rain
The End of Life comes crawling
ceasing my bleeding heart and now;
The last dead leaf comes falling,
hovering lightly down upon the ground
…upon the frozen ground…
FOR THE LOVE I BEAR
(music: Tenkula & SENTENCED, lyrics: Laihiala)
The silent peace this anguished morning brings leaves me to my grief
Oh, so many years I´ve been married to the grave
These bitter tears fill up my sorrowed eyes as I lay my head down
and beg myself to be so brave…
Oh, how I miss your loving hate… And yet I miss her loving hate
Cursed be this love I bear
Bereaved be this heart that bleeds for her
The love of the man lives here…
-On grain and the earth, rain and the chilling air
The burning passion the glowing sunset gives will leave me to my joy
and I´ll laugh upon the stroke that murders me
So farewell my love, take all of myself and kill this love forsaken
and please send me no need of thee…
Oh, how I miss your loving hate… And yet I miss her loving hate
Cursed be this love I bear
Bereaved be this heart that bleeds for her
The love of the man lives here…
-On grain and the earth, rain and the chilling air
ONE WITH MISERY
(music: Laihiala & SENTENCED, lyrics: Laihiala)
The stars shine down on the crimson sky as the night falls upon
The pain arrives and hurts like a twist of a knife…
It makes him wish to be gone
So he´s facing the curtain descending with a razorblade smile
He´s taken "the path neverending" yet only to walk for a while
He´s gazing through all that is there
and sees the world left for him to despise…
Blissfully feeling so dead, no glimmer in his eyes
So no more joy or forgiving, he´s one with misery
Nothing left to believe in, he´s reaching out to be free
On that trail the warrior rides
chasing the fall of his soul
Life´s been too dire so the fullest desire has died
deep from inside
On that trail the warrior rides
from the cradle straight to the grave
Within his heart he feels his soul´s being barred
yet aberrant… aberrant
THE SUICIDER
(music: Tenkula & SENTENCED, words: the serial self-killer)
"….I am the light that shall lead you to darkness…"
Well, here I am, I´m back again
From the Deadlands I descend…
back from the dead, back from The End
…I´m here to take Revenge!
Soon the deathly dusk will fall
and the Night I´ve waited for
…at the dawn you´ll live no more
Breathing through Death… Living for Bloodshed…
I´m the Suicider dying every night and day
Killing me is not enough to make me go away
I live to kill and kill to live
And long for dying endlessly
Each time I kill I´m born again
…I have become The End
Thus I am and thus I´ll die
yet another thousand times
…I am dead and I am alive
Take a deep breath…
It´s the last one you will get!!!
I´m the Suicider dying every night and day
Killing me is not enough to make me go away
I´m the Suicider seeking for the End of Life
(But) killing me is not enough to cease the flame inside
…Thus I kill and thus I`ll die…
Thus I will live for all time
chorus
THE RAIN COMES FALLING DOWN
(music: Tenkula & SENTENCED, lyrics: Lopakka)
now every single cloud becomes a raging storm
as I go seeking for the one I used to live for…
since your love was taken away
my heart´s been beating empty beats
well, it will end tonight…
-the blade shall set me free
a steady hand with this sharpened cold steel
will help me wipe away this pain that I feel
the rain comes falling down
my life flows to the ground
no longer feeling the pain
my flame now fading away
the rain comes falling down
my life flows to the ground
no longer feeling the pain
my flame now fading away
so here I´m lying on these dead and bloody autumn leaves
waiting for death to take me where I want to be…
a steady hand with this sharpened hard steel
will help me wipe away this agony I feel
the rain comes falling down
my life flows to the ground
no longer feeling the pain
my flame now fading away
the rain comes falling down
my life flows to the ground
no longer feeling the pain
these leaves now becoming my grave
no longer feeling the flame
no longer feeling the rain
GRAVE SWEET GRAVE
(music: Tenkula & SENTENCED, lyrics: Lopakka)
I have seen my funeral in a thousand dreams
Its beauty…
Now the night descends
and drowns me in this dream once again…
No stars tonight… they all have ceased
No moon tonight to cast its gleam
…just a single flame lighting my journey…
Two at my feet, and two at my head
Two carrying me at where my hands are laid
Endless sleep… giving me peace
and eternally bringing release
Nothing more to be done
Nothing more to be lived for me
All my life I´ve waited for this eternal night
and now it´s time…
soon they´ll lower me down deep into the icy ground
Two at my feet, and two at my head
Two carrying me at where my hands are laid
…and once there´ll be a time that I have waited for
when the dawn will steal my dreams no more…
Two at my feet, and two at my head
Two carrying me at where my hands are laid
Grave Sweet Grave - welcoming me home
Grave Sweet Grave - I´ll be yours till the dawn
(the dawn shall steal my dreams no more)
BURN
(music: Tenkula & SENTENCED, line: Lopakka)
Just take the flame and Burn Yourself…
-Burn the pain away!!!
DROWN TOGETHER
(music: Tenkula & SENTENCED, lyrics: Lopakka)
Take this love, my dear, and cherish it in your heart
You shall have no fear…
Nothing could tear us apart
Accept this love sincere, from the bottom of my heart
for now our time is here…
and love shall heal the scars
Now twilight hides the clear, and haunts the day away
We cross the last frontier,
and it sets our hearts ablaze
The Waves lie still and gleaming on Our Sea
…and we´re drifting down the stream…
Let´s drown ourselves in this love
my darling, my only one
Let´s give our lives for this love we are in
- make it forever…
Let me dry your tears
and hold you in embrace
Until we disappear in the crimson haze
The Flames rise still so freezing on Our Sea
…and we´re drifting down the stream…
Let´s drown ourselves in this love
my darling, my only one
Let´s give our lives for this love we are in
(we´ll) do it together…
"…and we take our dive into the waters of eternity…
…here all pain has died and the only ones are you and me…"
The Haze lies still and bleeding on Our Sea
…and we´re drifting down the stream…
(-to eternity!)
Let´s drown ourselves in this love
my darling, my only one
(Let´s) set sacrifices for this love we are in
- make it forever…
Let´s drown ourselves in this love
Let´s give our lives for this love we are in
(we´ll) do it together…
LET GO (The Last Chapter)
(music: Tenkula & SENTENCED, words: Lopakka)
Now everything
that used to matter to me
is taken away
forever gone
The only things
I really have left here
…in this life
are bitter hate and this gun
From this trip I´m taking now
I´m never coming back…
It´s time, tonight´s the night
-the last one of my life
This time I´ll just let myself go
and leave this world behind
The booze flows in
like blood to heart that beats no more
and blows the flame of fear out…
I raise the gun
- my finger on the trigger -
and put the barrel into my mouth
From this trip I´m taking now
I´m never coming back…
It´s time, tonight´s the night
-the last one of my life
This time I´ll just let myself go
and leave this world behind
It´s here, tonight´s the night
-the last one of my life
With no fear I´ll just let my life go
and take the six-feet-dive…

Intro - THE GATE
(Tenkula & Sentenced)
NOOSE
(music: Tenkula & Sentenced, lyrics: Lopakka)
No way out of your misery
Alone in pain and agony
Lay depressed and hollow
One thought in your mind
-No Tomorrow
And then you had made up your mind
and thought it was your time
You left this world without shedding a tear
without hope, without fear
So you thought you'd just put your head
into the Noose and let it all go...and so you did
Oh yeah, you did
Now you come haunting every night
Calling my name until I...
wake up feeling this sorrow
One thought in my mind
- I will follow
I'll drink the booze to depress myself
then I take the rope and express myself
I'll leave this world without shedding a tear
without hope, without fear
Yeah, I think I'll put my head
into the Noose and let it all go...and so I will
Oh yeah, I will
I'll take the rope, just like you
and wherever you are, I'll be too
I think I'll just put my head
into the Noose and let it all go...and so I will
Oh yeah, I will
SHADEGROWN
(music: Tenkula & Sentenced, lyrics: Lopakka)
I have dwelled in the dark
so long that I have become the night
Here only the chilling Northwind
can give warmth to my life
There comes the morning light and brings the pain
...slashing my heart
It goes by slowly and makes the pain last forever
...it tears me apart
I'm drowning in this light
I'm dying, it's so bright
I have lived in the shades
- Make the Glow go away
Come cast your shadow over me
and I'll cast mine all over thee
Take me away, into the shades
where there is no light of day
(to harm my way)
Come with me and we'll flee from this world
across the nightly sky
Believe me, you'll be free
as we take our ride on the darkside
I'm drowning in this light
I'm dying, it's so bright
I have lived in the shades
- Make the Glow go away
Come cast your shadow over me
and I'll cast mine all over thee
Take me away, into the shades
where there is no light of day
Come cast your shadow over me
I'll give you immortality
Let's walk away, into the shades
where there is no light of day
To Harm Our Way
BLEED
(music: Tenkula & Sentenced, lyrics: Lopakka)
Burnt all the bridges I have passed
No looking back to the life I once had
-The hate for myself is all that´s left now
"As blood runs down my arms
I feel peace in my heart…"
On my skin the razor blade is shining bright
The veins show clearly through, my blood is running wild
This wrath that runs inside my veins
This hate that burns inside the ruins of my heart
I´ve got to let it out
I can´t control it anymore
"As blood runs down my heart
I feel peace in my heart…"
On my skin the razor blade is shining bright
The veins show clearly through, my blood is running wild
The deep red flowing within, longing to be free
A little pressure´s all it takes to make me bleed…to death
KEEP MY GRAVE OPEN
(music: Lopakka & Sentenced, lyrics: Lopakka)
(Hunt or be hunted)
The days are hot
and the dead lie unburied on the field
So the wind brings the smell of blood;
- so heavy and sweet
They're back again
- we came so near and yet so far
They're all around
and if they come any closer...
We're done
Keep My Grave Open, open wide
Keep My Grave Open, I'm longing to die
- Cool and peaceful, and far from the battlefields
...and opened just for me
The moon shuts her eyes
and great black clouds cover the sky
Rain bathes the ground
while we live in darkness like the blind..
CRUMBLING DOWN (GIVE UP HOPE)
(music: Tenkula & Sentenced, lyrics: Lopakka)>
Like roses wither so does hope
as we approach our final fate
A new dawn of man?
Oh no, can't you feel, the End is on its way...
It's all over, said and done, haven't you heard?
We are living our last days in this world
Oh, Give Up Hope, do it now
the world is coming Crumbling Down
we have passed
the point of No Return by far
and swept away the last sheds of hope
A new dawn of man?
Oh no, can't you feel, the End is on its way...
It's all over, said and done, haven't you heard?
We are living our last days on this earth
Oh, your days are over!
Your world is finished!
Down down down down
Thy kingdom gone
Down down down down
My kingdom come
This is it
This is the End
Free at last
SUN WON'T SHINE
(music: Tenkula & Sentenced, lyrics: Lopakka)
The candles have been blown out by the wind
don't be scared, my love, I'm right by your side
I still remember the times I walked alone...dead
until you woke me up and made me come alive
With her love she feeds the fire in my heart
And in her eyes, oh the birth of stars
The sun won't shine on me without your love
...don't you know
The cold wind kills the flame in my heart
...by its blow
She gave me everything I had craved
through the years of pain
the years of pain
With her love she feeds the fire in my heart
Oh she's my only light
In the dark
The sun won't shine on me without your love
...don't you know
The cold wind kills the flame in my heart
...by its blow
Dead Calm all around
ODE TO THE END
(music: Tenkula & Sentenced, lyrics: Laihiala & Lopakka)
Looking down through clouds of iron
at the shattered remains of the world
New bays on coasts, new land in the sea
Deserts of ash... on Death Row Earth
Open your eyes to realize...
Your source of life exists no more
Pale obsolete is the whole of me
but yet I feel more than ever before
So came our time - the time that lasts forever
and through the death we frolic endlessly
Too many years of pain and sorrow
I hope my life leaves me be... dead
Emotions which I kept are no longer in my head
'cause all the words I said, they showed...
I was dying to be dead
Close your eyes to see why the dark desire
tempts my soul, oh my friend
Come, listen to my mind and feel the fire
This is the Ode to the End
Don't hold your sight - I know there's no heaven
...I believe we all have our personal Hell
and don't be scared, take death with open arms
and you'll feel so warm and peacefull...

WARRIOR OF LIFE (REEPER REDEEMER)
(music: Tenkula & Sentenced, lyrics: Lopakka)
All these years I've spent fighting the fight
winning my war, showing my might
It was clear to me all the time...
- There's no battle like that of life
Give me War!
I will give you Hell!
I'm the Warrior of Life, I know the Reaper by name
I was born one foot in grave
I'm the Warrior of Life and my blood's running cold
I see pain wherever I go
I've stood up everyone and everything
and walked against the wind
So it is and so it will be
It is the only way... for me
I'LL THROW THE FIRST ROCK
(music: Tenkula & Sentenced, lyrics: Lopakka & Laihiala)
I could hear them speaking of those
"Good Old Days" that never were
Those hollow containers for souls
who no longer live there...
It dwells in my heart, the eternal hate
To get your share just wait (and see)
There are no strangers in this world
only bastards I haven't met
...and my skeptic way of thinking
turns away the joys they shed
It dwells in my heart, the eternal rage
And now I'll blast it on your face!
I'll throw the First Rock
- Blacken your world and your sun
I'll throw the First Rock
I'll throw the first one
You'll crumble to the ground
As I throw the rock that brings you
down |
LOVE AND DEATH
THE WAY I WANNA GO
(music: Tenkula & Sentenced, words: Jarva)
I know of a heaven... and damn sure... I know of a Hell... if you could take a look into this fighter's mind... the things you'd see.
What would you think? How would you feel? If you could really know me...mmm...
Can you see this Hell I feel inside? A tragedy in a human mind. Aaaaaaargh! That's what I am!!!
So turn away, turn away and go. Turn away while you still can. Turn away. The way I'm gonna go is not the way you want to go!
This reign that I have built myself, over the years, will crumble down on me.
Life's double edged sword gives both pleasure and pain. And it's MY cross to be carried!!!
Can you see this chaos-ridden mind? This tragedy, this tragedy of a human mind. Aaaaaaargh! That's how I am!!!
"It might seem to you that we are same. But that's just a part of the illusion of life.
There's no perfection in this world, and in the end we're but two strangers sailing our personal seas of sorrow..."
I've been to heaven! (and let me tell you:) I have been "down there"
So turn away, turn away and go. Turn away while you still can. Turn away. The way I'm gonna go is not the way you want to go!
Turn away, Turn away... This is the way I wanna go
OBSESSION
(music: Jarva & Sentenced, words: Jarva)
Obsession... burning me, carving me from inside my head. I am suffering frustrations of the deepest kind.
I am getting weaker but my lust keeps growing. I am out to get you. Obsession. Obsession.
Obsession! Inside my burning heart. Obsession! Till the end of time.
Obsession... you are feeding it, with every step, every breath you take. I've been watching you.
I've been following your every move. You cannot see me, but I can see you. I've been folloving.
I've been here since the dawn of time! Obsession! Inside my burning mind. Obsession! Till the end of time
...the end is near now... I'll be close enough... and you will fall victim... to the strongest love... our death will be... a beautiful one...
you know you belong to me... forever...
Obsession! Inside my burning heart. Obsession! In the end you're mine...
Obsession... the end is here now... I am close enough... 2gether 4ever
DREAMLANDS
(music: Tenkula & Sentenced, words: Jarva)
Sweet dreams... in deep sleep... widen the landscape of mind! Dreaming... and seeing... more than a lifetime could give!
And I keep dreamming... Oh, I keep breathing... The Night! What treasures it may hide... The Night!
What paths it may guide to... The Night!
Time after time... Take me, unfold me ! Hands on the Night... feeling inside.... I've lost one life !
Child of the Night... Don't wake me up !
And you keep dreaming... Oh, are you feeling the Night ? Dreams, do they come true... Tonight ! Dreams of the dead...
Night after night... Returning to the light ! Hands of time stop ! Filling my mind... with your starry eyes ! Child of the Night.
Time after time... tired. Hands of the Night... Take me away, feeling inside... so tired.
Child of the Night... we'll sleep.... Forever. Hands of time stop...
WHITE WEDDING
(B.Idol)
LOVE AND DEATH
(music: Lopakka & Sentenced, lyrics: Lopakka)
When the bow breaks the cradle will fall. I am in shape for the game, but for life ? ... no more. I have come here to end my life and I will do it with this rusty knife. It will all be over soon and I'll be through... to find my way to you
Loving Death... like she was at the End. Love and Death... can unite their souls again. Loving Death... he'll make it through it all. Love and Death... go hand in hand once more.
Is life too precious ? He knows it ain't. Well, it never could have gone any other way... nicely, slowly, enjoying the pain... and the soul will finish its jail. The wind will cry my name as the dark now cries her's. By then I've silenced. No final words said to this world.
Loving Death... like they were back then. Love and Death... have united through his end. Loving Death... as blood flows on the shore. Love and Death... go hand in hand once more.
Love and Death forever more
AMOK
THE WAR AIN'T OVER
(music: Tenkula & SENTENCED, words: Jarwa)
...hear the sounds of Thunder
feel it come in all its pride.
- and it's all yours!
this tension, this pressure...
sweat and feel the air too thick to breathe!
feel hatred, fear hatred...
wait the chaos that shall breed
- the spawn of WAR!
- the spawn of MAN!
- inside of us all - oh yes! you too...
live in this hell - die in this hell.
Hey! the Beast of War is on the hunt!
the Dove of Peace falls torn apart!
- disillusion!
well, Hey now! What did you expect to see?
the "victory of humanity"?
well, THE WAR AIN'T OVER!!!
"I remember all the hopes (I remember all lies)
I am "die Erd", I've seen it come and go and stay eternally! WAR!"
live in this hell - so what the hell,
- so let it be,
- die in this hell.
Hey! the Beast of War is on the hunt!
the Dove of Peace falls torn apart!
- disillusion!
well, Hey now! What did you expect to see?
the "victory of humanity"?
well, THE WAR AIN'T OVER!!!
no! Never! Ever! no!
so let it be.
PHENIX
(music: Tenkula & SENTENCED, defiance: Teiwaz)
burned alive in the flames of love
- the ashes scattered in the wind
fucked up by the unholy trinity;
you, me and our "perfect law"
(our perfect love)
each time I walk under a moonlit sky
- each time I dream of you
"Death won't tear us 'part but lack of love"
kill all gods and all mother-lovin whores
- my heart is built for War
yet one precious treasure is lost forever more
Fenix, Rising
Fenix...is rising high!
born again in the name of War
born to fight and built to last
from the ashes of our perfect love...
watch me now! I'll be complete!!!
each time I swim in your starry eyes
- each time I drown with you
"Death won't tear us 'part but lack of love"
well, kill your god and your mothafuckin' - Horse
- now Fenix is stronger than ever!
one precious treasure is lost forever more
Fenix, Rising
Fenix...is rising high!
born again in the name of War
born to fight and built to last
from the ashes of our perfect love...
(would you die for me like I died for you! huh!)
Fenix is rising in the name of War
(holding a silver sword upon his mighty head, swearing revenge to
all his enemies - rock 'n roll is the only way to die!!!)
watch me riding from our perfect love
watch me now! I'll be complete...
NEW AGE MESSIAH
(music: Tenkula & SENTENCED, words: Jarwa)
"He shall appear to thee and thou shall know Him.
He is no son of God, He is the son of the Earth!"
a new Messiah...
He's walked among the living
and lived among the dead
He holds the key up there...
far too long - the truth's been inverted by false tongues
and far too long - false prophets have infested the holy ground;
the holy Earth;
the pagan Reign of Nature...
now the time is right (too late)
fall from Grace, New Age Messiah
as a lightning cracks the sky
show the world its final fate
rise to the heights, New Age Messiah
they will worship you and hail!
as the world goes down the drain
the new Messiah leads the way!
"He shall appear to thee and thou shall understand,
He shall promise no salvation but let you see what is imminent."
chosen by His own will
as written by Himself
a new Messiah
has become to guide mankind
on its downward trail
He holds the key down there...
far too long - they had to wait Him to arrive
and far too long - the hordes believed all the lies
now all can see: the "Hand of Darwin"
rocks this human cradle-grave
god is dead, god is dead, long live the Nature!
fall from grace, New Age Messiah
on your first and last crusade
show the world its final fate
rise to the heights, New Age Messiah
so they can hear Your words of gold
as the world goes down the drain
the new Messiah makes your day
fall from grace, New Age Messiah
from the dark side of the Moon
to the point of no return - welcome the Prophet of Doom
open doors to a new reality
as the World goes down the drain
a new Messiah walks away
FOREVER LOST
(music: Lopakka & SENTENCED, words: Lopakka)
"EVERYMAN, I will go with thee and be thy guide
in thy most need to go by thy side"
(grave - home of the brave?)
fire...dance with me
for there's time for me and there's time for thee
desire ...rise, my friend
dance with me all the way
then descend
I wake up in the trench
and what a shitty world this is to wake up in...
our troops are only here and there
but the enemy is everywhere
will you be by me?
in the crimson moonlight
the battle is raging at its height
there...somewhere...I bleed and scream
take me over the stream - to my dream
if there's a heaven for the heathen
we'll gather our hearts in the kingdom of gods
and honour grows upon the graves of those
who were put through Hell in the line of fire
will you be by me?
(love remains)
fire...dance with me
when it's time to scream and when it's time to dream
higher...rise, my friend
dance with me all the way - to the end
lost in the Night Frost
forever lost
the night is still breathing
but I'll pass away, the Flame has ceased
as the others keep on hunting
I'm taken away by the silky breeze...
so if there's a heaven for the heathen
we'll gather our hearts in the kingdom of gods
and silence grows high where the soldiers lie
those who feared no evil (and those who did)
now set me on
fire...take me high
when it's time to fly and when it's time to die
higher...rise, my friend
dance with me all the way - to the end
lost in the Night Frost
forever lost
...to the end...
FUNERAL SPRING
(music: Jarwa & SENTENCED, words: Jarwa)
so came the spring, came the light
and gave farewell to the wintery ice
now all is gone, this is the end.
this snow in May reminds me...
funeral...funeral time again...funeral
so came the Winter and the Summertimes
forever gone as all love for live
blank the shroud upon the ground
the shadows cast so pale...
Funeral Spring is now
I watch you bury me down
funeral time again
longing to fly...
Funeral Spring is real
white as the ghostly veil on the ground
funeral time again
someone has died again
funeral time is now
and you bury me down below
funeral time again
I'm longing...to fly...again...
NEPENTHE
(music: Tenkula & SENTENCED, words: Jarwa)
think about all the good in your life
- it's only temporary
think about all the positive sides in life
- they never last forever
so drink to forget
and drown all your sorrow
bury your dreams
choose mind refinery
all the tears and the fears and the lies and the cries and the...
(nepenthe)
all the tears and the fears and the lies and the cries of the past
when the light of the chosen has died
when the Master is slave to his life
all the tears and the fears and the lies and the cries and the...
(forget)
all the love and the hate and the hate and the hate for you - my love
when the light of chosen has died
it is time to do something right, for once, goddamned!
so drink to forget
and drown all your sorrow
bury your dreams
and choose Catharsis!
all the tears and the fears and the lies and the cries and the...
(revenge)
all the hate in the world is the power to bring you down!
when the light of chosen has died
it is time to pay back for their crimes
DANCE ON THE GRAVES (lil siztah)
(music: Tenkula & SENTENCED, pathos: TJ)
"Hell I can't deny it...I fell to the illusion of life!
Now, she's taken away everything that I called I!"
MOONMAGICK
(music: Jarwa & SENTENCED, words: Jarwa)
Look into the night...
Look unto the sky...
face Her nightly shape...
feel Her chilling cold - Mother Moon is full!
Her face of agony
Her dismal morbid gleam
a shape so desperate - the Moon is full
reminding us of pain
reminding us of fear
She's guiding in the night - Her children
ah! the Moon is full
behind that ghostly veil She hides that ghostly shape
Her light is guiding us - Her children (as wander in the mist)
ah! the Moon is full!
reminding us of pain
reminding us of fear
She's watching in the dark - Her children
find Her dismal light
adopt Her facial form
breed the spawn of night
become one with the Moon
dismal agony, distant misery
I'm drowning in Her eyes and the Moon is full!
THE GOLDEN STREAM OF LAPLAND
(music: Tenkula &SENTENCED)
THE TROOPER
DESERT BY NIGHT
(music: Tenkula & SENTENCED, words: Jarva)
Yes, I am here…
Here at the landscape of my dreams
And what´s this perfection?
I feel immortality next to me
I have lived my life in your arms, mother
now I´m back to show my gratitude
Take my life, I know that I´m worth of you
And I´ll live again and I will live… through the Elk!
Now speak, Serpent, with my tongue
-tell them what you think
-infiltrate the venom in their veins
Brother Wolf, take my mind, use my hands for thee
and lead the way to Hall-up-high
- take their lives
Take back what is yours!
I´ve set this sacrifice
(…and now we dance
here in this circle of flames
We praise Your Might
We praise Your power to live…yeah)
Fresh as the North Wind…
You blow right to my heart
Warm as the South Breeze
my blood now covers the sand (and on we die!)
We have lived our lives in your arms, mother
Now we´re back show our gratitude
Take our lives, if you think we´re worth of you
and we will live again among the sheep…
as the Wolves!
Now speak, Hedgehog, with my tongue
-tell them what you want
and take revenge for a million lives
Sister Swan, spread thy wings, your enemies are mine
and let live those who are worth of you
-taste our minds
-taste our minds
-taste our minds
-taste our minds
NORTH FROM HERE
MY SKY IS DARKER THAN THINE
(music: Tenkula & Jarva & SENTENCED lyrics: Jarva)
Frozen soil...A dim moonlight
I've been..on this glorious ride
Raise the arms in victory
I've seen...on this glorious night
I've kept my eyes open wide
Through my dream I was given a hint:
"My sky is darker than yours, my star is brighter than yours"
A glance to the moonlight shadow reveals the runes of yesterday:
"I am of Astral Strain, my sky is darker than thine"
Die...die...die!!!
I...I...I...despite
Destroy!
The goals I've set to myself are far beyond mortality
To dominate, desolate everything weak that cannot stand alone!
And losers shall drop...
One after one...
I am before all gods
Who art thou to come to me?
You are the great pretender
And you will always be
(so die)
Frozen time...The astral gate
I've been before on this ground
Open wide before my eyes
I see...on this glorious ride
Now I know...
It was written in the stars that I am the Wrathchild
I laugh as you cry...
I am the one who laughs for last and laughs forever more
The goals I've set to myself are far beyond humanity
To dominate, desolate everything - I'm heading to immortality!
And losers shall drop...
One after one...
I WON!!!
WINGS
(music: Tenkula & SENTENCED lyrics: Lopakka)
The scars in the wind
Guiding my path to the dark
The breath of the silent night
Approaching from a distance
Wings
I cut a thousand cuts
Streams run (down) along my arms
The stars blasted into darkness
Change scents; colours
Catch..!
The sleepless eyes
Sterilized by drops of pride
Skies...mirror...screams
Shapes foundering into the scene
Wings
Hate in my heart
Revenge in my mind and my words
I rinse my hair in blood
And mock at your lousy God
I cut a thousand cuts
Streams run (down) along my arms
Oh the scars in the wind..!
Guiding my pathway on my ride
Catch death
The sleepless eyes
Sterilized by drops of pride
Skies...mirror...screams
Shapes foundering into the scene
FIELDS OF BLOOD: HARVESTER OF HATE
(music: Tenkula, Lopakka & SENTENCED lyrics: Jarva)
Come to me - oh, mighty force of my inner will...
Raise the power of knowledge and give me the spirit to...kill!
Prepare my being to conque | 
AJÁNLOM AZ OLDALT
