ASTRAL DOORS LYRICS

1. Bride Of Christ

[Johansson / Nordlund / Haglund]

He's an unholy ranger, not a logical trainer
A prior and preacher with style
No one knew he was able
No one heard 'bout the chamber
In the darkest of dark
On the back side of religion

Enchanter and Judas; murderer and thief
Tempting the weak and foretold about the

Glory of heaven, it's for now and forever; you and I
The Bride of Christ
Not evil, but afraid he would leave here there behind
She's the Bride of Christ

She had been there forever and she wasn't so clever
She fell just like rain from the sky
He stood in the middle; Stan played on his fiddle
They danced in their church
To celebrate their new Messiah

Glory of heaven, it's for now and forever; you and I
The Bride of Christ
Not evil, but afraid he would leave here there behind
She's the Bride of Christ

"You can all meet Jesus.
You can all be a part of his great big family.
So come and join the army:
Be a soldier in the name of God!"

[Solo: Nordlund / Haglund]

Enchanter and Judas; murderer and thief
Tempting the weak and foretold about the

Glory of heaven, it's for now and forever; you and I
The Bride of Christ
Not evil, but afraid he would leave here there behind
She's the Bride of Christ
Glory of heaven, it's for now and forever; you and I
The Bride of Christ
Not evil, but afraid he would leave here there behind
She's the Bride of Christ
Bride of Christ
Bride of Christ
The men in the village had to bow for the Bride of Christ
Bride of Christ
Bride of Christ
The comen and children, obeying the Bride of Christ
No, no
She won't come to heaven

2. Time To Rock

[Johansson / Nordlund / Lindstedt]

It's another boring day; I wanted to run
And people in my way
Oh, what have I done?

Here we are, time to stay Raw
Burning up but what do we know?
Live to learn; wait another minute
By the will to die

Their haunted houses were made of strangers
He'll break the sun and light
The marker's cleared and locked

It's time to rock
It's time to rock
It's time to rock
When your cell is down and locked
It's time to rock

There is a lonely man
He's taking control
He might be doing wrong
It's eating his soul

Came out; riding the law
They're forced to say: we'll open the door
In between; lost inside a riddle
And we may have to die

He live upon the edge of danger
They'll hold their weapons down
But I will never stop

It's time to rock
It's time to rock
It's time to rock
Yes, when your world is down and locked
It's time to rock

[Solo: Nordlund]

Their haunted houses were made of strangers
He'll break the sun and light
The maker's cleared and locked

It's time to rock
It's time to rock
It's time to rock
Yes when your mind is cleared and locked
It's time to rock
It's time to rock
It's time to rock
Wes when your world is down and locked
It's time to rock
It's time to rock
It's time to rock
All around the world
And I will never ever stop
And I ain't never gonna drop
It's time to rock

3. Evil Is Forever

[Johansson / Haglund / Nordlund / Roberg]

Prime time suicide; they are creatures with no rights
They are so cold; some heads are gonna roll
Wipe it off and spit it out

I know where you go
Devil or angel or heaven or steel
Got more to say

Evil is forever
In good times and despair
Evil is forever
And tomorrows luck is drifting in the air

It's the same song and nothing going wrong
In the carnage of our lives
Stand up and fight the commercialized
And you will be the last to find

Stray hound, fool around
Saints and sinners, beggars and thieves
No more to say

Evil is forever
In good times and despair
Evil is forever
And tomorrows luck is drifting in the air

So evil

[Solo: Nordlund / Haglund]

Prime time suicide; they are creatures with no rights
They are so cold; some heads are gonna roll
Wipe it off and spit it out

I know where you go
Devil or angel or heaven or steel
Got more to say

Evil is forever
In good times and despair
Evil is forever
But no one really cares
Evil is forever
It is here to ruin your day
Evil is forever
And you want to go, but one day you shall pay
So evil

Evil is forever
Evil is forever
Evil is forever
And it makes me wanna cry
Evil is forever
Soon I'm gonna die
Evil is forever
Can you hear me now?
Evil is forever
Gonna die
Evil is forever

4. Lionheart

[Johansson / Nordlund / Lindstedt]

If you are wind, I would go to a place where wind don't blow
It's time to leave
If you are steel, I would be like a flame to melt you down
You have to see and tell me why you cry
Why you cry

He came to save our lives; to kill the tyrant and the beast
He brought a legion
And maybe one day he will rise up and say:
I fought in this holy war, in quest to find the Astral Doors
Look into the future; you'll fall forever

In the slaughter to release us; we shall survive

Lionheart
Lionheart
Brave and divine
Lionheart
We stand for the sake, fighting side by side

They came to paradise; I stood beside them in my dreams
And all those pages
To me seemed so real though they're all make believe
Liar; how you sacrificed my soul
Got no wish of growing old
And when I die at last; I won't miss you

To the warrior from the loser; who can survive?

Lionheart
You are stronger than the steel
Lionheart
Brave and divine
Lionheart
You are riding on the wings of Heavens might
Fighting side by side

[Solo: Nordlund / Nordlund]

In the slaughter to release us; we shall survive

Lionheart
Lionheart
Brave and divine
Lionheart
We stand for the sake, my life at stake
Lionheart
You are stronger than the steel
Lionheart
Brave and divine
Lionheart
You are riding on the wings of Heavens might
Fighting side by side

If you are steel, I would be like a flame to melt you down
You have to see and tell me why

5. Praise The Bones

[Johansson / Nordlund / Lindstedt]

Come along
Won't you hear my song?

Well, there's a mystic river; many people shiver
But I will burn with delight
Dragons to the left; maidens to the right
Brimstone, fire and ice

And I shall always sing my song
I'll always be around to praise the bones

Praise the bones
I can't create another rime
Inside a fantasy world
We are living for to praise the bones

I saw elves and striders; black horse riders
Mean machines ready to strike
I read it in the cradle; keep it on the table
Religion meant for a child

And I shall always sing my song
I'll always be around to praise the bones

Praise the bones
I can't create another rime
Inside a fantasy world
We are living for to praise the bones

Praise the bones
Praise the bones
Praise the bones
Oh no
Come on and praise it

[Solo: Nordlund / Haglund]

And I shall always sing my song
I'll always be around to praise the bones

Praise the bones
I can't create another rime
Inside a fantasy world
We are living for to praise the bones

Praise the bones

6. Pull The Break

[Johansson / Nordlund / Lindstedt]

Came out of speed and I knew that I'd won
Turning the steel for the king and his crown
Scared from the start, I could never be late
Leaving the others for a lonely day

You know I never needed love
Don't you lie; never lie
I guess you'll stay the night awake
I'm going to win what's to take

You pull the break
You pull the break
You pull the break
You know what to take
You pull the break
You pull the break
You pull the break
You're a loser, your ground will quake
You pull the break

Married the highway; sleeping with the road
Talk to myself, I'm about to explode
Using my sense, I will never return
Bur one day you're all about to burn

I wish that I had wings to fly
Way up high, so high
Tomorrow will be all too late
Only for one man's mistake

You pull the break
You pull the break
You pull the break
You know what to take
You pull the break
You pull the break
You pull the break
You're a loser, your ground will quake
You pull the break

[Solo: Nordlund]

Here I go, no
You know I never needed love
Don't you lie
I guess you'll stay the night awake
I'm going to win what's to take
Break
I live what to take
Don't pull, don't pull
You pull the break
You pull the break
You pull the break
You know what to take
You pull the break
You're faster than the speed of light
You're holding on the curves so tight
I know that I will live to die
I know I will live to die; oh die

7. Fear In Their Eyes

[Johansson / Haglund]

In the picture of the soldier
In a world that's getting colder
Colors balms for my kind
Some were looking for this haven
Rumors blowing in the wind
Oh please, let me stay for a while

They came across the water
To escape from the slaughter
I took my chance but I wnted to pay
A poor boy has to lose; it's black, white and grey

There was fear in their eyes
There was blood on the walls
I can still recall
All the fear in their eyes
When their world had to fall
There was fear in their eyes

No medication from a doctor
Could ever heal this broken man
I needed someone to hold
The purgatory of life
Brought the violence to my heart
Sorry babe; forgive me babe
Now I'm gone

My execration
Of the world that rules the nation
I'm not a boy, I stand equal to God
Don't need any money
I do what I want

There was fear in their eyes
There was blood on the walls
I can still recall
All the fear in their eyes
When their world had to fall
It was in their eyes

[Solo: Haglund]

For the king and the castle
For the knight of the swords
I will march out to war
They are dying there; dying there
But the pain has been here for so long
Determination of my home land
The Promised Land

I too my chance but I wanted to pay
A poor boy has to lose; it's black, white and grey

There was fear in their eyes
There was blood on the walls
I can still recall
All the fear in their eyes
When their world had to fall
I saw fear in your eyes
Fear in their eyes

8. Stalingrad

[Johansson / Nordlund / Lindstedt]

Russian tundra, cold is the night
Still it's not too late
There's no bail; Siberian trail
Doomed to live my last days
Like a cursed in the dark

From the eye you can't hide
When the fatherland decides you're Christ
In their state they create a better race

But take my warning
It is right before your eyes
A new time dawning
Gonna send me off
To Stalingrad

A fatal birth of one mans earth
Now it's all too late
Curtain of iron, confusion in the crowd
A union made by violence, greed and force
To tame all the men in the land
And to crush their houses of glass; in flesh
On my way to Gulag this preacher spoke

He said:
Take my warning
It is right before your eyes
A new time dawning
We will die
For the traitor of mankind
They made me fight in Stalingrad
All the people died in Stalingrad

[Solo: Nordlund / Haglund]

I'm a cursed in the dark
From the eye you can't hide
When the fatherland decides you're a Christ
In the state they create a better race

But take my warning
It's the beginning of the end
A new time dawning
Defenders of the worst of crimes
Take my warning
It is right before your eyes
A new time dawning
We will die for the traitor of mankind
We will die in Stalingrad
We will die in Stalingrad

9. From The Cradle To The Grave

[Johansson / Nordlund / Lindstedt]

With a gun inside your mouth life's rushing by
In the shade of sin; to live you have to die
Convicting yourself to the cross; it was your loss
The face made of tragic and tears:
Now it's here

It goes on and on and on
From the cradle to the grave
Well, it rolls like a wheel
The torture goes on and on

In the houses made of stone you try to hide
But the eyes of the beholder will try
To drag you from heaven to hell, I tell
The treasure, the struggle in pain
All in vain

It goes on and on and on
From the cradle to the grave
Well, it rolls like a wheel
On and on and on

On and on and on
It goes on and on and on
On and on and on
It goes on and on and on

[Solo: Nordlund / Haglund]

Now you're gone
The torments tongue brought you under the ground
I can see it now so clear; you have to die
Convicting yourself to the cross; it was your loss
The face made of tragic and tears
Now it's near

It goes on and on and on
From the cradle to the grave
Well, it rolls like a wheel
The torture goes on and on
It goes on and on and on
From the cradle to the grave
In the calm in the storm
On and on and on
On and on
From the cradle to the grave
On and on and on and on

10. The Flame

[Johansson / Nordlund / Lindstedt]

Well, I know I was born with a crown made of troll
Faking a smile and I try to move on
Calling the shots like the king of the flies
Hiding myself, but my art's gonna take me higher
So much higher again

Love, hate and fury coming my way
Cry out in anger, got nothing to say
Cool, rich and famous, smoking cigars
The hole in my brain, won't stop me to ride the flame

Ride the flame

And the flames go higher and higher
Away from love and hate; tales of fate
Lord, I cry out in anger

[Solo: Nordlund / Haglund]

I take you all higher, so much higher again

Love, hate and fury coming my way
Cry out in anger, got nothing to say
Cool, rich and famous, smoking cigars
The hole in my brain
The hole in my brain
Love, hate and fury coming my way
Cry out in anger, got nothing to say
Cool, rich and famous, smoking cigars
The hole in my brain, won't stop me to ride the flame

Ride the flame
Ride the flame

11. Path To Delirium

[Johansson / Nordlund / Lindstedt]

In the feet of dawning; to the pagan sea
For the breath of yawning; falling like a leaf
See the cries of the aged and wise
The know where the world will go

Way down to the train of the caravan
Won't you give it away, give it away
Give your life or you will stand alone
Open up the gate and try

Let the black sun shine
All you fools and those to stay
Let the black sun shine
Heroes die and so do I
And so do I

When the giant's falling and your spirit rise
Distant voices calling; make your sacrifice
Your life's not an easy ride
For those on the other side

Don't run to the scene of another crime
Won't you give it away, give it away
Give your life; don't climb the mountain high
Open up the gate and try

Let the black sun shine
Start to run, start to run
Let the black sun shine
Heroes die and so do I
So do I

Maybe some can realize that the closer to our God
Flames and songs in Neverland
You are there and never coming home
There's an evil song to the world tonight
Delirium; save me God; save me God

[Solo: Nordlund]

So give your life or you will stand alone
Open up the gate and try

Let the black sun shine
All you fools and those to stay
Let the black sun shine
Heroes die and so do I
So do I
Master of deliria; keep away, won't let it out
Let the black sun shine
All the fools in the masquerade
Seduction of the good and brave
Black; let the black sun shine
