1. The Poltergeist

[written by Dan Fondelius]

I sold my soul to the night
I refuse to go into the light
It's been so long since I saw the sun
Remember me, the undone

My faith was sealed
At an early stage
The pain decided
This secret place

So it is, much darker now
Still it is clear anyhow
I don't know what to do
Alone I walk without you

No more flesh wounds
It's all over now
After I've taken my last breath
I found a choice in death

I sit around and waiting, waiting here for you
If I am not mistaken, you, you feel it, too
That was what I was thinking when I first got here
I know now I am dreaming cos you don't know I'm here

You don't know I am here
I am alone, so alone

The point is very clear
Realize, that you are dead
A cold world hurt so much
A poltergeist, no human touch

No fate was sealed at an early stage
You yourself decided this secret place
Your mind was set to an eternal life
And insted you got an eternal death

2. Scream

[written by Dan Fondelius]

Mother nature has crossed the lane
Finally caught in sands of time

Daddy, must we burn my sundry any day?
Feeling so faint, I start to pray.

I scream
Tell me it is not so I dream
Let this nightmare go

In this the vary last of days
I'd to go first

Is it that we woke up much too late?
Feeling to be ceased and living hate.

I scream
This is the price you have to pay
I scream
You bastards better break, yeah.

I'm ready as they cease to feed us
In tedious times I think of you to listen
For a loose sometime

We are now living in the seventh seals
God was right all along
In this fight around me

As I woke up from pain of life and death
People of world they seem of foul and dispute
I shackle the shadow

Repay your chain
This was the last time that the enemies
This was far to see its faults some years ago
The prophet's wonders

I know, I know

Might is of falling god's life it never was
Tomb stone is calling and forever

I scream
Tomorrow blinks of fast
I scream
Don't know how long I last

3. Nashira

[written by Dan Fondelius]

When I first laid my eyes upon you
You were too far away
I decided to get closer to you
This time you have to stay

Simply overcome by this reaction
It is draining me
I know I can't resist your strange attraction
You're seducing me
Nashira

You draw me nearer when everything is clear
With you I have no fear
No point resisting I am simply giving in
To you my shining Queen

Most people haven't seen you, that's alright
Too preoccupied by their strife
But I love you and I'm staying to the end
This banner of love I sway for you my friend

I travel to you through my magic glass
What else can I do?
Strange emotions as you speak to me this way
Will we ever meet in the flesh one day

Although I know that you are always around
And sometimes hard to find
Confused, but happy, is this what love can do?
And tonight again I'll look for you
Nashira
Nashira

4. The Entity

[written by Dan Fondelius, Fredrik Jansson, Jens Bock]

We're walking through this life that's nothing but a game
All know The Entity, the no one speaks its name
Were told that we are born, we live and we die
What is between all this we just have to hide

Welcome to the other side
Where we no longer hide

There are rules out here, wherever you will turn
They are all put there in case you should learn
They are all meant for you to never find your life
And if you follow them you must kiss your ass goodbye

Welcome...

Remember when you were young
You wished good for everyone
Turn back the clocks of time
To end this eternal crime

You think that you will make it here, I bet
You just don't know the truth yet
Life here does not include you
So what are you gonna do?

I'm really sorry for what I have to say
Peace is no longer the optional way
You must pick up your sword and fight them to the death
Or call down the almighty's fire breath

5. Mammons War

[written by Dan Fondelius]

Greetings humanity here comes the war
Now it has reached your own door
I don't understand why you look so pale
You had your chance, now you must pay

I am the one who started the fire
Cos you lack any desire
And I guard the fire until it burned
Away everything you've ever learned

Everyone started to do the dance
Around the golden calf in trance
They have to hurry and hurry fast
Cos they all know they will never last

The poor have suffered for too long
Meanwhile all governments sing their songs
Their day of slaughter is at hand
Their heads on plates I will demand

6. A Lifetime

[written by Dan Fondelius, Fredrik Jansson, Jens Bock]

This life I've traveled for so long
Through its timeless wilderness
And all the people that I've met
All with their thought and dreams
One thing I wonder tho, in our uniqueness
Isn't it really so, so much is equalness

I was born parentless
The only one was grandmother
No substitute for happiness,
I didn't even bother
I never went to my father's grave,
Right after he had died
This world had torn us apart
Still I feel I knew him

I know my lifetime passes so fast
And those sweet memories won't ever last
Everyone I see is hiding from the sun
Meanwhile I'm fighting for mine to be won

Sometimes I have wondered, what life's all about
And I stumble over the line
People's lives are stolen, two ways of living
These times I think I'm losing my mind
Today I heard a voice from heaven
Big changes really come this time
Don't worry about the ozone layer
I come in time or no flesh will be saved
Bear this in mind

I am not least bitter tho cos I have my freedom
And I will teach my children so, they also find freedom
This life meant so much to me, I was so happy
With no special place to be, the universe is my family

7. To Kill A Child

[written by Dan Fondelius]

I remember the day that you were born
Your eyes looked at my soul
I was so proud, that I kissed the sky
Little then did I know

Why, oh why, must this world force me to kill my child
I can no longer hide, the eternal pain that I feel inside

They said she was autistic, and silent as the night
I said it is alright
My heart is like the universe, that is endlessly
She'll be alright with me

The trees speak to me of sadness
Of world that wasn't meant to be
The creation is in entire madness
We don't know love, so we don't see
But that is another story
And it doesn't set me free
Neither God or humans help me
Am I bound to destiny?

Years have passed without help from anyone
This road I walked alone
I look upon the world, where no one's ever won
Then I blow her brain with my gun

Why, oh why, must this world force me to kill my child
Why, oh why, the only song this world ever sung, goodbye!

[Spoken:]
She's out of touch, out of reach, not one of us -
She is free, so she has to be punished by all of us
The father kills the son, the father kills her -
Not because of her, but because of you
Because of all of you, who refuse to do even the smallest thing for your next!
The time and clock is ticking for you my child -
Because they won't, they don't care about you!
Soon I will have your blood on my hands.
I'll be thrown in jail -
They will point their fingers at me
They will judge me, as they have, judged you -
As they will be judged, by you, and God!

8. To Love, Wherever You Are

[written by Dan Fondelius]

Tonight I'm drowning in your eyes
No will to fight and to deny
Tonight I'm drowning in your skin
Was it here that all things did begin?

Tonight I will love you for sue
Tomorrow I'll break down all the doors
I'll tell them you are in my life
And I want you to be my wife

This song is for someone out there
I haven't met you yet my dear
But when I do please believe
I will be true and never leave
Never leave
Never leave

9. Magic Is...

[written by Dan Fondelius, Fredrik Jansson, Jens Bock]

The magic is a foot, it is a hand
It controls the sea, the air and the land
Created by love cos you are grand
It's up to you to understand

The wind it started blowing
It is the wind of time
It screams and it whispers
Listen to me while still can

Long ago someone created the earth
Then left, and since then never heard
But the magic it has never ceased
It's inside you waiting to be released

A small part of your brain, you're using
What do you think the rest is for?
Use your heart and wake your senses
And terrible forces will come to your door

You can never remove all powers and tear down mountains
You can end starvation and heal the blind
Or change the universe direction
And the easy part, raise the dead

This is my message right on to you
No matter where you live or what you do
Leave this world and follow your heart
And we will never be apart

10. Seven Days

[written by Fredrik Jansson]

The time has come to say goodbye
The years of pain. It's over now
No more fears, no more lies
Rest your head and close your eyes

Embrace the end, never ending sleep
Forever lost in eternal dreams
Darkness comes and tucks you in
A peaceful feeling spreads deep within

Seven days passed by my door
As I watched you fade away
I stood speechless by your side
When you drifted towards the end

Our time is gone. We said goodbye
The years of pain, it's starting now
Shattered souls fills with grief
I know the scars will never heal

11. Increasing Deserts

[written by Dan Fondelius]

Here you are after all your traveling
And have you found your way
Did you loose your time here
Too many forms in the way

All your life you've been ill treated
Hurt most all your life
No help and mislead
You wish to say goodnight

You say there is no tomorrow
I urge you to be brave
I beg you, love each other
Turn night into day

Although Increasing Deserts
Decrease all your land
You are only losing
Unless you take my hand
