CRIMSON SUN LYRICS

1. The Beast Within

[Music: Junnila, Rantavuo; lyrics: Rantavuo]

Feel the wind in your face
As you race away from the life you used to live in
All that trash has to stay behind
'Cause the only way is forward and over the top

Feed the fire, don't believe the fools
Feel the burn, make your own rules

Go faster, harder
Beat the clock and never stop
Be tougher, louder
And fight your way to the top
Better, stronger, climb up higher
Don't fear to fail enjoy the game
Rise above the average man
Unleash the beast within

Found a home in this place
Where the stranger is welcomed by challenge and pain
Fight the odds just to prove yourself and grow
Leave the weakness just to realize your true potential

Feed the fire, don't believe the fools
Feel the burn, make your own rules

Go faster, harder...

Let your mind flow free
And feel the beast within
Believe in what you want to be
Set free the beast within

Let your mind flow free
Believe in what you want to be

Go faster, harder...

2. Virtual Reality

[Music: Junnila, Rantavuo; lyrics: Rantavuo]

The blue light shines, staring hypnotized
At the reflections of the life I once had
The time flies by, buried my thoughts
In this mechanical paradise

Got to escape
Before it is too late

Take control!
Break the chains and let yourself go
Fake no more!
Taste the air and see the sunrise
Take control!
Break free and let yourself go
Escape virtual reality
And enter mortality

It is too easy to lose yourself
In this maze of false hope
The further you go the harder it gets
To find yourself home

Got to escape
Before it is too late

Take control…

3. We Are One

[Music: Junnila; lyrics: Rantavuo, Junnila, Hujanen]

We built these walls, too high to climb over
Blinded by disbelief, didn't see the bigger picture
It took everything we've got to stand up and fight for what's right
Powered through these barriers

Step by step we conquer
And lift the weight of the world off our shoulders

We are one, we will rise
Like a storm in the night
This path goes on forever
Rewriting history together

Don't be afraid
There is always a price to be paid
Where there is unity
There is always victory

All these things that got in our way
Distractions that led us astray
Kept us from finding our aim
But now we see and everything's clear
We took our chances and got nothing for granted

Step by step we conquer
And lift the weight of the world off our shoulders

We are one…

Never enough
Never give up

Don't give up on your dreams
Just because someone won't believe
Never show your weakness
Or the world will tear you apart

We are one...

4. The Prison

[Music: Junnila, Rantavuo; lyrics: Hujanen]

You ended up behind bars
Never thought this is how it ends
This prison is made for the damned and vile
You may spend here the rest of your life
The thought of leaving is unbearable
You are living day to day in fear

The doubt in your heart has raised its voice
A way out is the only choice
The pain of staying will eat you alive
Walls are closing in day by day
The longer you stay, the harder you fall
Freedom truly is the toughest call

They pushed you down, locked you in place and
You know nothing of the world outside

The Prison won't break you
And nothing else will
Everything on the outside
Tastes sweet like summer rain
Cut the bars or stay forever in
Just close the door and fade away

Have you felt the sweetness of freedom
Have you drunk from the fountain of life
Hear the wind howls in the wild
See the brightest northern nights
The years of strife were not what they said
The prison is just in your head

They pushed you down, locked you in place and
You know nothing of the world outside

The Prison won't break you...

Have you seen the stars and moon
Have you seen how the world opens over you

The Prison won't break you...

5. Overcome

[Music: Junnila; lyrics: Junnila, Rantavuo, Hujanen]

You can look at my palm and see the scars from my past
Read the book of my life
I've overcome

For decades I fought the war
Sought the way to escape
Everyday hoped for salvation
A story that can touch us all

He's gone, I'm here

On the inside I have bled and inside I've dreamed
Have faced the fears that made me scream
Now looking back at my pain
I treasure the strength I've gained

How could I, mere mortal man
Leashed by the blight
Cut through the imaginary chains
The solution was to believe

He's dead, I am alive

On the inside I have bled...

The trials I've had the lessons I've learned
Torment and fear that made me scream
Now looking back at my pain
I overcome with the strength I've gained

6. Fate of Nora

[Music: Junnila: lyrics: Hujanen]

She has walked down the path
Stood tall at the mark
She was broken like a bottle full of life
Lost in the dark

And yet she walks
These empty halls
And she will find her way (and she will find her way)

The fate of Nora
Forlorn thus far
Cruel matters told as they are
Fear and shameful displays of hate
And yet she walks away

The fate of Nora
Cruel matters told as they are
But she will find her way
She will find her way

She burned the bridges down
And left everything behind
She wants to shatter the vaults of glass
Once and for all

And yet she walks
These empty halls
And she will find her way (and she will find her way)

The fate of Nora...

This is a borderline
Of the world outside
The way out from the cruelty and hatred
This is another story, another round
Some other people, an eerie sound
Dying in her ears slowly
It's the sound of shackles of fate
And she will find her way

The fate of Nora...

The fate of Nora
Fear and shameful displays of hate
Does not matter she walks away
The fate Nora
Cruel matters forgotten as they are
And she has found her way
She has found her way

7. Trailblazer

[Music: Junnila, Rantavuo; lyrics: Seppälä]

You got lost along the way
Searching for a safe place for you to stay
A vicious circle's where you end up time and time again

Just faceless reflections nothing to hold on to
Like floating in the ceaseless sea with no destination only hesitation

Keep yourself from drowning too deep

Hear the scream from the future
You can't turn back time you can't run away
Gotta face your fears to beat them one day
It may break you down, drive you to the edge
Life's an everlasting test
Take action and be your own trailblazer

Don't let yourself get stuck in the past
The days will go by too fast
Open your eyes and search your heart to see who you are

Go on and show yourself you know you're strong enough
You can ride the winds and calm the storms
You are the sailor to rule the ceaseless sea

Keep yourself from drowning too deep

Hear the scream from the future...

We are all stories in the end

Hear the scream from the future...

8. Distant Stars

[Music: Junnila; lyrics: Rantavuo, Hujanen]

Always watching the horizon hoping to find a sign
These eyes are getting weary, my thoughts are lost in time

I've seen new worlds born and shattered to dust
Everlasting flames go out, it's useless to fight or shout

Forever on this journey, travelling so far
My quest is never-ending, to find the distant stars
Forever on the journey, time and space will bend
Infinity is overwhelming, this will never end

Always trying to reach further hoping to find my way
I'm just a feather flying in the black and lifeless sky

I've seen the destruction and how it devours space
No matter where I go I cannot win this race

Forever on this journey...

We are just a drop of rain in this never-ending sea
Only a grain of sand falling in an hourglass
What the eyes can't see, is it even real?
You need to stop and listen

The silence screaming in my head
Will I ever see the end?

Forever on this journey...

9. Essence of Creation

[Music: Junnila; lyrics: Junnila]

Respect the unscripted rule
The lifeline of all things
From life to life the cosmic ways go
They outline every shape we know

The meaning of life can't be held
Nor contained in the world we live
Not even identified in a way we are used to

A process that invites to surrender
To the unseen force behind all life
The unknown that fills a place in your heart

No words can tell in what celestial hour
The existence of things are decided
Build something new that brings us to the essence of creation

It's like the paradox
Which does nothing
But at the same time
Leaves nothing undone

Sometimes we frail creatures
Think that we know everything
But at the same time
We know nothing at all

Inhale and hold your breath

A process that invites to surrender...

10. Last Day on Earth

[Music: Junnila, Rantavuo; lyrics: Rantavuo]

A great flash in the sky, screams of terror around me
Skies turning black from smoke and ashes
The cold winds are rising, whispering of things to come
These walls are breaking down, no place to hide

The waves are crashing in, drowning all in their path
Beneath the surface, no one can hear you cry

Our time is running out
This is the last day on Earth
We brought this upon ourselves
Our time has come

Maybe we can go back in time
And make everything alright
I don't want to die
There's nothing we can do
It is too late to cry
I just want to die

The plastic mountains are melting down
A million birds falling from the sky
When the last tree is cut down we'll finally realize
That we weren't meant to say our last goodbyes

The waves are crashing in, drowning all in their path
Beneath the surface, no one can hear you cry

Our time is running out...
