1. Ad Finem

[Instrumental]

2. The Longest Day Of My Life

 
In my life I made a choice
To be what I have to be
But when I am to see myself in the mirror
I can't contain my pain
It looks me right in the eye

The secrets that I hide
Mean that in no one I can confide
I chose this life and fall to secrecy
But in the end it turns on me
The longest day of my life

This is the longest day of my life
It's time to pick up the pieces
And build it back together
When I was young I saw my best friends die
I'm not gonna let you go
I'll be by your side forever

In my life I broke a promise
I said I will always be there
I'm coming to find you to bring you back
This pain that I try to hide
Because I play your whole lie cannot defy

This time I'll change
I'll do things differently
I'll never let you go
Protect you with my life

This is the longest day of my life
It's time to pick up the pieces
And build it back together
When I was young I saw my best friends die
I'm not gonna let you go
I'll be by your side forever

Countless times they say I crossed the line
But ask me how many lives I saved in time
Innocents don't have to die
Not in my war
Not on my time
I'll do what I have to do until I die
This is my last day before I walk away
I'm coming to take your beautiful love
We'll be folly again

So you question my decisions now
Let me ask you how you'll feel
If all that mattered to you was so suddenly ripped away
Would you fight for it
Would you cross the line
Or would you let them slip away
I did my life

This is my last day before I walk away
I'm coming to take your beautiful love
We'll be folly again

And a day will come
When the warriors standing
Will be you and me
And that day has come
I'ts all they sing of
The final day for me is here

The final day is here

This is the longest day of my life
It's time to pick up the pieces
And build it back together
When I was young I saw my best friends die
I'm not gonna let you go
I'll be by your side forever

This is the longest day
It's time to pick up the pieces
And build it back together
This is the longest day
It's time to pick up the pieces
And build it back together

Picking up the pieces

3. Reborn

 
The world is slowly caving in
as my darkness grows within
These walls are sanctuary for me
I know that others would rather die

They will not let me be alone
and for them I gave my soul
And somehow I feel I am reborn
I've been reborn

I've paid the price for my own mistakes
But am I born into a fate I can't change
This pain of life that never seems to end
And I wonder why

There's something not quite right in me
I ask why the world was so cruel to me
And just like the darkness surrounds my soul
I wake to the feeling I've been here before

You ask me why I have faith in God
And became my own worst fear
You live in a world where no one seems to care
Let me take you there

There's something not quite right in me
I ask why the world was so cruel to me
And just like the darkness surrounds my soul
I wake to the feeling I've been here before
Am I living this life once more
This pain of life that never seems to end

I can't change what's become of me
I can only wish for what might have been
I pray for the day I finally die
Until then I will wonder why

There's something not quite right in me
I ask why the world was so cruel to me
And just like the darkness surrounds my soul
I wake to the feeling I've been here before

There's something not quite right in me
I ask why the world was so cruel to me
And just like the darkness surrounds my soul
I wake to the feeling I've been reborn

I have been reborn

4. I Hope

Fear can hold you prisoner
Hope can set you free

This is my last request
Will you forgive me for what I have done?
I've come to realise as the years passed me by
I made a mistake
I was living a lie

I hope that the ocean will be as blue as in my dreams
I hope that one day I will see my friend again
I know I'm soon to see and find
That I'm nothing on the outside
I hope
I hope

Just me all alone in my empty cell
My thoughts echo throughout this old and lonely shell
And it was in the cold of night
I dreamt of a day
I'd be released from this hell
Forgiven...

I hope that the ocean's under the bluest sky and I recall
I think that I've been there in my dreams before
I know that in life it set me free

And I'll keep holding on
I hope

Get me out of this hell
I spent too long dying in this prison cell
Will you set me free?
Release the pain of life from me

Tell me what u see
This old tired man is what's left of me
Would you set it free?
The only thing left, the hope in me

Hope never dies

Can I be condemned for life
For my mistakes?
You know I regret what I have done
Can I seek forgiveness in my sour?
To set me free
Set me free

I hope that the ocean's under the bluest sky and I recall
I think that I've been there in my dreams before
I know that one day we'll meet again
And I'll keep holding on
I hope

5. Acerbus Inceptum (Pt. I)

Until the night where everything changed
I was a young boy with dreams and aspirations
But after that night things would never be the same
A shadow hung over me and it would do until the day I died

I learnt in the light of a new day
That things could never be the same between us
But my love for you remained
All those years I was gone
I was holding on

I left my life for a new beginning
And became what I knew I had to be
To bring justice upon a corrupt world
To bring back the light in me

And strike fear into the hearts of all once feared
For vengeance
For Justice
For love?

Maybe one day you'll see me, think of we

6. Someone Else (Pt. II)

Hope, hope can sometimes change your life
Hope can set you free
Hope can be a light in the dark
Dreams, dreams may sometimes be shattered
Dreams might even fade away
But dreams can give you hope
Inside yourself

Me, I gave up long ago
I lost my hope, I lost my dreams
I became someone else
You, you still remember me
But do you know and do you see
What I really am?

I'll stay right here
Even though I've lost my life
To be a hero in your eyes
But will a hero live today
and will he fly away
or will he fade to black?

This is how the story goes
Yet how it ends, no one knows
I've become this to take revenge
To justify my actions
If our paths should cross again
In your mind I'm still the same
If you see a sign in the dark night
Would you think of me?

I'll stay right here
Even though I've lost my life
To be a hero in your eyes
But will a hero live today
and will he hide his pain
Or will he fade
Or will he fade away?

I'll stay right here
Even though, I know
I know my life's a lie
And I long to save you
Then I'll be a hero
I'll be a hero
I'll be a hero
In your eyes

I'll stay right here
Even though I've lost my life
To be a hero in your eyes
But will a hero live today
and will he fly away
or will he fade to black?

I'll stay right here
I've become someone else
Even though I've lost my life
I've become someone else
To be a hero in your eyes
Can't you see me?
But will a hero live today
I've become someone else
and will he hide his pain
I've become someone else
Or will he fade to black?

7. Bringer Of Light (Pt. III)

A cold place fading into darkness
Descending into madness
What will be left when I am gone
A time when hope once there
Has gone, never to return
People cry out for a saviour
They are still to learn

That when the world descends into darkness
I'll bring the light

This path is one I must walk alone
I have promised myself I'd break free of your hold
And of the chains that keep me here
I'm not a prisoner of this world
I've become what I have to be
The dark is bringing back the light in me
Bringer of light

I stand here reflecting on my past
High above the ground
And in my thoughts I know
My destiny is this
Tell me what do you believe in?
A saviour, Another hero
That's not what I am
I'm just a man

But when the world descends into darkness
I'll bring the light

This path is one I must walk alone
I have promised myself I'd break free of your hold
And of the chains that keep me here
I'm not a prisoner of this world
I've become what I have to be
The dark is bringing back the light i me
Bringer of light

Tell me, is this what I have to be
Is this my destiny
Am I condemned to the night
To be a bringer of light
Oh how I wish to move on
But my love for you keeps me here
But it's not meant to be
While the bringer of light's in me

The bringer of light's in me

This path is one I must walk alone
I have promised myself I'd break free of your hold
And of the chains that keep me here
I'm not a prisoner of this world
I've become what I have to be
The dark is bringing back the light in me
Bringer of light
This path is one I must walk alone
I have promised myself I'd break free of your hold
And of the chains that keep me here
I'm not a prisoner of this world
I've become what I have to be
The dark is bringing back the light in me
Bringer of light

Bringer of light

8. Shadow Symphony (Pt. IV)

Look at me, my eyes are open wide
But in the light, I am blind
What do they expect of me?
I gave it all for one last time
The people need a hero not like me
I can't condone, I can't forget
My eyes are open as I turn my head away
I am gone but my shadow remains

Shadow symphony

This pain has gone on for too long

Can't you see, my pain is inside out
What am I to do
I can clearly see the end
If I don't walk away from you
For you I leave my legacy behind
And with it I leave my pain
I can only be what I can be
So I leave my shadow symphony

A sign of my pride
It's the sound of my demise
Because the balance of the world
Is the weight upon my shoulders

My love, my love, take me away,
my love from here, my love take me away
My love, my love, take me away,
my love from here, my love take me away

In the shadows scorn and the fire's symphony

This pain has gone on for too long
The past always clouds my mind
Will you do this last thing for me
Take my place in this world

This pain has gone on for too long
The past always clouds my mind

Will you do this last thing for me
Take my place in this world

Why do the shadows fade away and turn to gray?
Pale is all that's left of me
Take my place
I, I'm left to turn away
I have no choice
It's been taken away from me
My life for yours

My shadow symphony

A sign of my pride
It's the sound of my demise
Because the balance of the world
Is the weight upon my shoulders
A sign of my pride
It's the sound of my demise
An end to my pain
In the shadows scorn and the fire's symphony

My love, my love, take me away,
my love from here, my love take me away
My love, my love, take me away,
my love from here, my love take me away

A shadow, my shadow symphony

My love, my love, take me away,
my love from here, my love take me away
My love, my love, take me away,
my love from here, my love take me away

My Shadow symphony

9. No Leaf Clover

[originally by Metallica]

And it feels right this time
On his crash course with the big time
Paid no mind to the distant thunder
Today filled his head with wonder... boy

Says it feels right this time
Turn around and found the light lime
Good day to be alive... sir
Good day to be alive he said

Then it comes to be that the soothing light
At the end of your tunnel
It's just a freight train comin your way
Then it comes to be that the soothing light
At the end of your tunnel
It's just a freight train comin your way

Don't it feel right like this
All the pieces fall to his wish
Sucker for that quick reward... boy
Sucker for that quick reward they said

Then it comes to be that the soothing light
At the end of your tunnel
It's just a freight train comin your way
Then it comes to be that the soothing light
At the end of your tunnel
It's just a freight train comin your way
It's comin' your way
It's comin your way
It comes!

Then it comes to be that the soothing light
At the end of your tunnel
Was just a freight train comin your way

Then it comes to be... yeah

10. Pride (The Warrior's Way)

Far away in a distant land
Ten men, weapons close at hand
These men are at war for peace
Outnumbered they are up against all odds
But their spirit is undetered
On the distant cries in the wind
We hear our friends die in agony
We have learnt that we always must stay strong
Relying on each other till the day we die
Are we the only ones left?

So this is how the story goes
We live to fight another day
and we will stay together as one
Find another way
We either win or we will die by
Each others sides
For pride we fight
For pride we die

We've been here for far too long
we haven't eaten in weeks
It's hard to go on
But with each day that slowly passes by
I don't feel like giving in
I'd rather die
Cos this is the way we are born to be

So this is how the story goes
We live to fight another day
and we will stay together as one
Find another way
We either win or we will die by
Each others sides
A Warrior's heart, never dies
Never dies

We gather here, beneath the sky
The days go by and we lose track of time
Watching the seasons pass us by
Sun, wind, snow we've seen it all
But this is how we're born to be
To serve the king is our sworn duty
We fight these wars but why we do not know
A spirit of pride is all we own

So this is how the story goes
We live to fight another day
and we will stay together as one
find another way
We either win or we will die by
Each others sides
A Warrior's heart, never dies

So this is how the story goes
We live to fight another day
and we will stay together as one
find another way, this is the warrior's way
We either win or we will die by
Each others sides
We fight for pride
We fight for pride
For pride we fight
For pride we die

A thousand years could pass us by
but it'll never change our warrior's pride
Our souls live on in another life
We'll stand together at each others sides
We will fight together and together we die
Cos this is our way
This is who we are
The Warrior's way will live on forever
in the hearts and souls of all who stand together
The spirit lives on, in our song
To the end
