The Truth is Sold
The Truth Is Sold
Your world does not seem too fetching
Nor your way to live your life
So routine and so honest
It would not hurt with some lies
It is time to cast aside your chains
Let's hide your fears and let things change
No cruelty and no hatred
No anger
, never depressed
No time for satisfaction
No time to lay down to rest
Do not believe the lie
The lie that you have been told
They say it is the truth
But the truth is sold
It is time to cast aside your chains
Let's hide your fears and let things change
Your world does not seem too fetching
Nor your way to live your life
So routine and so honest
It would not hurt with some lies
No cruelty and no hatred
No anger, never depressed
No time for satisfaction
No time to lay down to rest
Do not believe the lie
The lie that you have been told
They say it is the truth
But the truth is sold
Into the Land of Dreams
Into The Land Of Dreams
Close your eyes and fall asleep
And I will guide you to my kingdom
A place where we will unite
When the day turns to night
Join me - fly with me - into the land of dreams
We will walk through archways of solid gold
We will swim in lakes of wine
Fly with me - into the land of dreams
Join me - fly with me - into the land of dreams
We will walk through archways of solid gold
We will swim in lakes of wine
Join me - fly with me - forever - dreaming
In a world without limitations
Where worlds are heard but never spoken
Where reality becomes unreal
Join me - into my dreams
Close your eyes and fall asleep
And I will guide you to my kingdom
A place where we will unite
When the day turns to night
Join me - fly with me - into the land of dreams
We will walk through archways of solid gold
We will swim in lakes of wine
Fly with me - into the land of dreams
Join me - fly with me - into the land of dreams
We will walk through archways of solid gold
We will swim in lakes of wine
Join me - fly with me - forever - dreaming
In a world without limitations
Let your fantasies become real
On a trip far from life
Join me - into my dream
Mournful Serenade
Mournful Serenade
Remember your carress so gentle
Remember your kiss so delightful
With tears running down my cheek
I sit here alone wondering - why?
Sing with me - this song of love so pure
Sing with me - this mournful serenade
Sing with me - this song of love so pure
Sing with me - this mournful serenade
The pain inside me is unbearable
My love for you stronger than ever
Why this sunf=dden departure
Why did you decide to end your own life
Sing with me - this song of love so pure
Sing with me - this mournful serenade
Sing with me - this song of love so pure
Sing with me - this mournful serenade
With the moon as my only light
I stare at the picture of you
With one shot I ended my life
So that we forever will be united
The Return of the Mighty Raven
The Return Of The Mighty Raven
In a time long forgotten by man
When our ground still belonged to us
Our ancestors fought your armies
With swords in our hands
In a time when the northmen stood proud
Ina time when the northmen stood proud
Hear the thunderstorm as it roar
As you are approaching the final war
Our time will soon be here
The time when we will strike back
With swords in our hands
And strenght in our hearts
Prepare the return of the mighty raven...
In a time when the northmen stood proud
Ina time when the northmen stood proud
Hear the thunderstorm as it roar
As you are approaching the final war
When lightning strikes the sky
Your death is closing in
As heaven starts to cry
There is no way you can win
Prepare th return of the mighty raven...
I Will Be Your God
I Will Be Your God
What do you expect to see
The victory of humanity?
Your troops are only here and there
I am everywhere
You can burn it and pray that it dies
But it never just rests a while
You will be the victim of my game
You will be enslaved
Forever vanguished
Forever my slaves
I will build a mountain of skulls
And a castle of pain
I will build a throne of blood
You will be my slaves
I will build a mountain of skulls
And a castle of pain
I will build a throne of blood
I will be your god
What do you expect to see
The victory of humanity?
Your troops are only here and there
I am everywhere
I will build a mountain of skulls
And a castle of pain
I will build a throne of blood
You will be my slaves
I will build a mountain of skulls
And a castle of pain
I will build a throne of blood
I will be your god
You will be the victim of my game
You will be enslaved
Forever vanguished
Forever my slaves
Plague of Mine
Plague Of Mine
A voyage through time and eternity
Through sorrows, grief and pain
This fucking life - this fucking pain
An eternal plague of mine
This fucking life - this fucking pain
An eternal plague of mine
I soar in this level between life and death
Not knowing where I am heading
This total silence, this total calm
Makes me wanna die
This fucking life - this fucking pain
An eternal plague of mine
Eternal death is calling my name
The world below awaits me
My life finally laid to rest
The world below awaits me
I soar in this level between life and death
Not knowing where I am heading
This total silence, this total calm
Makes me wanna die
Eternal death is calling my name
The world below awaits me
My life finally laid to rest
The world below awaits me
A voyage through time and eternity
Through sorrows, grief and pain
This fucking life - this fucking pain
An eternal plague of mine
This fucking life - this fucking pain
An eternal plague of mine
As the Dove Falls Torn Apart
As The Dove Falls Torn Apart
Hear thes sounds of war, it is coming, it is here
The dove of peace falls torn apart
We will not go quietly into the night
We will not vanish without a fight
Never - go into the night
Never - vanish without a fight
Unleash my fire, unleash my hell
To make you suffer, to bring you pain
Unleash my fire, my inner hell
If you will fight me, you will fight in vain
Watch the ashes scatter in the wind
As the dove of peace falls torn apart
Your flame has ceased, you will pass away
A dismal moment, not for me
Spread out the fire, sread out the pain
A total desolation, I feel complete
Hear thes sounds of war, it is coming, it is here
The dove of peace falls torn apart
The war is here, the dove falls torn apart
Unleash my fire, unleash my hell
To make you suffer, to bring you pain
Unleash my fire, my inner hell
If you will fight me, you will fight in vain
Your flame has ceased, you will pass away
A dismal moment, not for me
Spread out the fire, sread out the pain
A total desolation, I feel complete
Suicide
Suicide
Is this just a preparation
For what is soon to come?
Another life might be waiting
For me to enter the tomb
I am not the only one
I am dying to find out
I want my life to rest
Solution suicide
I am not the only one
I am dying to find out
I want my life to rest
Solution suicide
This life is filled with ignorance
We are all born to die
No one knows what is to come
No one can see beyond life and time
Enter the realm of death
Sacrifice your life
To fill the emptiness
With knowledge from the other side
I am not the only one
I am dying to find out
I want my life to rest
Solution suicide
I am not the only one
I am dying to find out
I want my life to rest
Solution suicide

По сравнению с первым альбомом звучание осовременилось. Это выражается в отсутствии в большинстве песен запоминающихся гитарных соло, "грязном" саунде ритм-гитары, а также продолжительностью песен в районе 4 минут (т.е. эпичность отсутствует как класс). Музыка на альбоме явно вторична, авесь материал записан под действием желания "догнать и перегнать" своих более успешных коллег (Дарк Транквиллити и Ин Флэймс). Ну, если не перегнать, то хотя бы быть похожими на них. Тем не менее, запись сделана очень профессионально.
