1. The Sleep Of The Innocent

[Intro]

2. When Hell Freezes Over

[E. Ahonen]

Media provokate: Atheist! Nihilist! Anarchist!
Extremist! Turning to madman scientist!
The Perceiver: Marching along at the Road of
Destruction? Are we going insane?
Media provokate: Pro drugs! Pro war! Pro pain, all insane!
Losing all vision, extremist!
The Perceiver: These shallow promises, mesmerized by media whores

If this is what is left
Then walk away

The King has returned, Never lose your faith
Break the chains, rise above the lies
The King has returned, Never lose your faith
We have to break the chains, Fight for freedom
They only change
When Hell Freezes Over

Media provokate: Racist! Zionist! Fascist! Pacifist!
Corrupted post-modern idiotism!
The Perceiver: Blinded by the common fear of knowledge?
(Truth is) based on faith or science!
Media provokate: Communist! Islamist! Born again!
Terrorist! Lost in a Mystic evangelism!
The Perceiver: How come you (journalists) fear your mind?
Why don't you (the media) just choose your destiny?

If this is what is left
Then walk away

The King has returned, never lose your faith
Break the chains, rise above the lies
The King has returned, never lose your faith
We have to break the chains, fight for freedom
They only change
When Hell Freezes Over

[All Leads & Harmonies - Ahonen]

If this is what is left
Then walk away

The King has returned, never lose your faith
Break the chains, rise above the lies
The King has returned, never lose your faith
We have to break the chains, When Hell Freezes Over
When Hell Freezes Over

[Ending lead - Ahonen]

3. In Thy Power

[E. Ahonen & J. Johansson]

In a world of confusion and pain
We will need a leader again
He will come and bring us home
And will see that all evil is gone

Even though our kingdom can die
We must try to hold our heads high
Now the time will come for us
Make a stand and fight for our king

There will be another time for us
Our kingdom will grow strong

In the power of our king (power of our king)
We will fight and never die
He's the keeper of our ring (keeper of our ring)
For us he is divine
In the power of our king (power of our king)
We will fight and never die
He's the keeper of the ring
For us he is divine

In these times when tyranny rules
Killing heroes, saints and fools
They are slain by the reign of blood
Sacrifice for the unholy god

From the masses a man will rise
He will point his sword at the skies
All the evil will tremble with fear
Because they know that the end is near

There will be another time for us
Our kingdom will grow strong

In the power of our king (power of our king)
We will fight and never die
He's the keeper of our ring (keeper of our ring)
For us he is divine
In the power of our king (power of our king)
We will fight and never die
He's the keeper of the ring
For us he is divine

[All Leads & Harmonies - Ahonen]

In the power of our king (power of our king)
We will fight and never die
He's the keeper of our ring (keeper of our ring)
For us he is divine
In the power of our king (power of our king)
We will fight and never die
He's the keeper of the ring
For us he is divine

4. Travellers In Time

[E. Ahonen]

We all started one morning
Scientists with a mission
A journey to the unknown
Looked so good, felt so right

I remember it so clearly
Technology will save us
But the machines started shaking
Began to dissolve, We fall apart

It's all in the Eye of the Beholder
As we dissolve in dimensions of life

We are the Travellers in Time
Man made machines now machines make men
See the Empires Rise
Visions of Fate and Future ahead

Remember all the Promises
The Power and the Glory
Of our Quest of humanity
Looked so good, felt so right

I remember it so clearly
We were the best of the best
But we could not prevent it
Living as ghosts not really dead

It's all in the Eye of the Beholder
As we dissolve in dimensions of life

We are the Travellers in Time
Man made machines now machines make men
See the Empires Rise
New visions of Fate and Future ahead
We are the Travellers in Time
Man made machines now machines make men
See the Empire Fall
Vanishing fragments in Sea of Lies

Am I a man or am I a Machine?
Am I the Redeemer or was I the Saviour?
I am the new Alpha & Omega
But who Created Me?

Lord help me now
Lord hear me scream
Fading apart
I'm losing my mind

[Lead - Ahonen / Collin / Ahonen / Collin / Ahonen]

[All harmonies - Ahonen]

We are the Travellers in Time
Man made machines now machines make men
See the Empires Rise
New visions of Fate and Future ahead
We are the Travellers in Time
Man made machines now machines make men
See the Empire Fall
Vanishing fragments in Sea of Lies

5. Beast Slayer

[E. Ahonen]

Screams in the night, the beast has risen again
Screams of fear, the beast has no mercy to men
Live or just Die, by the Code of Conduct
Divine Justice, is my Holy Revenge, Beware!

I do not fear, the Beast's bloodstained path
He knows I'm near, in wrath he attacks from the dark

All my guns are blazing in the dark night
Another beast has been condemned to Hell

I'm alone in this dark world.
Its me, my guns and my trusted wolf
I am the Slayer,
The Chaser of unholy prey
I'm alone in this dark world.
It's me, my guns and my trusted wolf
I can not die yet
Until my quest is fulfilled
Beast slayer
Beast slayer

The blood red moon, witness my holy search
And then I stand, Eye to Eye with the Beast

The Fight was Brutal, but I burned him alive
All their victims can now rest in peace

All my guns are blazing in the dark night
Another beast has been condemned to Hell

I'm alone in this dark world.
It's me, my guns and my trusted wolf
I am the Slayer,
The Chaser of unholy prey
I'm alone in this dark world.
It's me, my guns and my trusted wolf
I can not die yet
Until my quest is fulfilled
Beast slayer
Beast slayer

[All Leads & Lead harmonies - Ahonen]

All my guns are blazing in the dark night
Another beast has been condemned to Hell
Hell, Hell, Hell

I'm alone in this dark world.
It's me, my guns and my trusted wolf
I am the Slayer,
The Chaser of unholy prey
I'm alone in this dark world.
It's me, my guns and my trusted wolf
I can not die yet
Until my quest is fulfilled
Beast slayer
Beast slayer
Beast slayer
Beast slayer

6. Wolfcry

[E. Ahonen]

He's vigil in the wonderland of broken holy mirrors
Never ending nightmares, Echoes of the past
He escapes his reality, with Prozac n' novocaine
And refuses to remember his search for peace

Fading pictures on his bedroom wall
Memories from the hidden past
Remaining dreams in an endless Fall
He will never ever rise&

Wolfcry, now he's coming after you
Wolfcry, I am fearing the night
Wolfcry, and there is nothing I can do
Wolfcry, I am fearing the night

He used to live alone, hiding in the ruins
In wars without a cause, deadly sniping enemies
Hailed as a Warrior but then the war was over
Haunted by the hollow eyes of those that he killed

Fading pictures on his bedroom wall
Memories from the hidden past
Remaining dreams in an endless Fall
He will never ever rise&

Wolfcry, now he's coming after you
Wolfcry, I am fearing the night
Wolfcry, and there is nothing I can do
Wolfcry, I am fearing the night

[All Leads & All harmonies - Ahonen]

Fading pictures on his bedroom wall
Memories from the hidden past
Remaining dreams in an endless Fall
He will never ever rise&

Wolfcry, now he's coming after you
Wolfcry, I am fearing the night
Wolfcry, and there is nothing I can do
Wolfcry, I am fearing the night

7. Mr. Gold

[J. Johansson]

All your life you've been walking the road
The road of the poor
You will do whatever it takes
To make it all shine
Wanna be rich and famous?
Wanna be Mr Gold?
Doesn't matter what it costs
Your life is on loan

Searching, searching you are never pleased
Going, going and you're never going back

Gone for gold - search across the land
Gone for gold - treasure's in your hand
Mr Gold - future lay ahead
Mr Gold - so you find it or be dead

Yes it seems that you can do
Whatever it takes
To make your own world good
Never ashamed
But when you reach your final goal
And all is fine
You will stand there all alone
Alone in the world

Searching, searching, you are never pleased
Going, going and you're never going back

Gone for gold - search across the land
Gone for gold - treasure's in your hand
Mr Gold - future lay ahead
Mr Gold - so you find it or be dead
I am Mr. Gold

[Leads - Collin / Ahonen / Both / Ahonen / Collin]

Searching, searching you are never pleased
Going, going and you're never going back

Gone for gold - search across the land
Gone for gold - treasure's in your hand
Mr Gold - future lay ahead
Mr Gold - so you find it or be dead

8. A Soldiers Tale

[E. Ahonen]

Tell me the promise of Fortune and Fame
Tell me how come it ends all the same
Tell me the story of young and the old
While we bleed, to death, this morning so cold

Cowards that hide in the Shadows of Greed
Attack in the night our brethren in need
We will strike back in the final frontier
The taste of Revenge is so sweet and so clear

If battle is for Glory
Tell me how, tell me when will this pain ever end?
If battle is for Glory
Tell me how, tell me when will this pain ever end?

We fight together, in this battlefield of Hell
We live forever, we are the Brothers in arms
We fight together, and to bitter end we will fight
We will never, surrender to unholy light

Tell me the reasons why you can't stop lying
Tell me how come that we all ha'e just die
Tell me the truth or has it been sold
While we bleed, to death, in this morning so cold

Vultures will feast on all those who will die
Pile of corpses beneath the red Sky
In rage we attack 'cause glory is near
The taste of Revenge is so sweet and so clear

If battle is for Glory
Tell me how, tell me when will this pain ever end?
If battle is for Glory
Tell me how, tell me when will this pain ever end?

We fight together, in this battlefield of Hell
We live forever, we are the Brothers in arms
We fight together, and to bitter end we will fight
We will never, surrender to unholy light

[All Leads & Lead harmonies - Ahonen]

We fight together, in this battlefield of Hell
We live forever, we are the Brothers in arms
We fight together, to bitter end we will fight
We will never, surrender to unholy light

[Outro melody - Ahonen]

9. Shark Attack

[J. Johansson]

[Intro lead - Ahonen]

Out in the night the wind blows so cold
The moon lights my way I wanna go home
I scan the horizon the Shore is so far
The body is weakening I stare at the stars

There is lightning and there's pain
You feel fire in your brain
There is nothing you can do
For the beast will come for you

Shark attack - swimming alone in the waters of Hell
Shark attack - the blood on my hands is the proof of the tale

[Lead - Ahonen]

Something is moving beneath my cold feet
I'm trying to move but I'm all too scared
A terrible burst of pain in my leg
The beast took a bite soon I am dead

There is lightning and there's pain
You feel fire in your brain
There is nothing you can do
For the beast will come for you

Shark attack - swimming alone in the waters of Hell
Shark attack - the blood on my hands is the proof of the tale

[Lead - Ahonen]

Shark attack - swimming alone in the waters of Hell
Shark attack - the blood on my hands is the proof of the tale

10. Rapid Fire

[J. Johansson]

[Intro lead - Ahonen]

In the deepest woods I run, I am frightened and alone
(I am so frightened and alone)
I am here defending my land, a million miles from home
(I am a million miles from home)
How can it be, it must be wrong, that the enemies of mine
(How can it be it must be wrong)
Is a threat to us and the world,
When they can't feed their children (or are the enemies of me?)

Lies
We are betrayed
Can this be wrong?
Is this the End?

Rapid Fire - waking you up in the night
Rapid Fire - terror of death rules the fight
Rapid Fire - it wakes you up and you cry
Rapid Fire - I hear the screams of those who die

Politicians make their way for the money and the fame
(Their way of greed makes us die)
Sending people to their graves for a reason that's unknown
(They're sending people to the grave)
All day long I think of this and it makes me wanna scream
(No, it makes me wanna scream)
And to leave it all behind, for them to fight their war
(For them to fight their wars)

Lies
We are betrayed
Can this be wrong?
It must the End?

Rapid fire - waking up in the night
Rapid fire - terror of death rules the fight
Rapid fire - it wakes you up and you cry
Rapid fire - I hear the screams of those who die
Rapid fire, fire, Fiiire, Rapid Fire

[Leads - Ahonen / Collin / Ahonen / Collin / Both]

Rapid fire - waking up in the night
Rapid fire - terror of death rules the fight
Rapid fire - it wakes you up and you cry
Rapid fire - I hear the screams of those who die
Rapid fire - waking up in the night
Rapid fire - terror of death rules the fight
Rapid fire - it wakes you up and you cry
Rapid fire - I hear the screams of those who die

11. Eternal Flames Of Metal

[E. Ahonen + J. Johansson + Jan Soderlund]

Never afraid, alone we stand strong
Our Brothers in Arms make us go on
Keepers of Faith will never let go
Stronger and stronger we grow, we will explode

We follow the road in an unbroken line
We go where nobody dares
A legacy strong was born to this world
By us the Brothers of Steel

We make our own way, they can't put us down (oh no)
'Cause we are aligned all over the world
The fire within will always burn bright
We will never give up, let's carry on

We follow the road in an unbroken line
We go where nobody dares
A legacy strong was born to this world
By us, the Brothers of Steel

The eternal flames of metal
Living in our hearts
It never dies
The flames will live forever

The eternal flames of metal
Burning in our hearts
It never dies
The flames will live forever

Together we march, to live or to die
A Legacy strong we can't leave behind
We will never surrender! They don't understand
That we are unique we're one of a kind

We follow the road in an unbroken line
We go where nobody dares
A legacy strong was born to this world
By us, the Brothers of Steel

The eternal flames of metal
Living in our hearts
It never dies
The flames will live forever

The eternal flames of metal
Burning in our hearts
It never dies
The flames will live forever
