RE-ARMED LYRICS

1. Dive Within

[Music: Oskari Niekka, lyrics: Jouni Matilainen, arrangement: Re-Armed]

Dive into yourself
Travel through eternal night,

And the stars become your eyes
Your light will shine and guide

Watch when the ground breaks
When the walls come down and ground shakes
Inside your own sphere, new dawn breaks
Hostile atmosphere – massive tidal wave

Standing on the ocean shore
Rolling shock waves rushing in
Between the devil and the deep blue sea
Forlorn hope lives deep within
(Hope) lives deep within

Deep within yourself
There's no other way out
At the gates of existence,

Mirror reflects inner self

Transform yourself
Face – face your demons
Foundation breaks
It swallows you away

"On elon aika lyhyt kullakin.
Siis palakaamme lieskoin leimuvin,
Tulessa kohotkaamme korkealle!
Maa maahan jää, mut henki taivahalle."
[Taken from Eino Leino's poem "Hymni Tulelle"]

2. Beyond The Horizon

[Music: Oskari Niekka, lyrics: Jouni Matilainen and Oskari Niekka, arrangement: Re-Armed]

When there's nothing left to hide,

There's nothing left to seek
What ever lies beneath, needs to be seen
Beam of light that never dims
The world is not falling apart
It's better to light the candle than curse the darkness

Stronger together
No matter what awaits us beyond the horizon
Stronger together
Forever united and unbroken

When there's nothing left to fear,
There's nothing left to lose
Like wind it pushes forwards, tearing down the roots of old
The seeds have been sewn
The light deeds once left undone
Now breaks the chains of frozen ground and gives us brightness of the sun

And now they will fall
Free the world from tyrants,
(To) Avoid greatest downfalls
Lead us into the future

Practice what you preach
Rising tide lifts all boats
Picture paints a thousand words
Like rats fleeing a sinking ship

3. Ode to Life

[Music: Allan Välimaa, lyrics: Jouni Matilainen, arrangement: Re-Armed, guest solo: Euge Valovirta]

Like the spring flowers blossom in,
So shall our lives begin
Free from violence and suffering,

From all the shriek that the world is thundering

Like the sun we will rise and fall
Life goes in circles from dusk 'til dawn
Humble reminder that all life is born
From natural selection – alternative forms

Feeble minds, endless forms
The seed of creation forever blooms

This is an ode to life,
A beautiful sight to behold
The greatest mystery of all time,
Full of diverse and complex lines
This is an ode to life,
A beautiful sight to behold
Sight to behold

Like the fall brings season of mist,
So we should fall asleep
Force to hibernate and suffocate
Our story begins where it ends

All the vibrant colors of life
Born out of violence
Born out of violence
Stardust – Stardust

4. Eager to Collapse

[Music: Allan Välimaa, lyrics: Allan Välimaa, arrangement: Re-Armed]

I can't help, but to keep this course and run,
Just run, to the point when there's no turning back
Don't we all dispose of the seamless tediums?
Don't we all crave for the surge of the second taste

There's no need to make self amends
You're free from closure
At the rim the view is not beyond - it's all around

Our soothing likes are reversions to expand our minds, to merge
Surroundings
In mists we stray until it makes us eager to collapse even more

Don't you like to taste, taste your life twice?
Or do you lust for thirst?

Let it flow and seize, without any pleas
We thrive among this storm and pressure
Never lose the ways, anything feeds the pace
Fulfilled and delighted, make it worth living

I find myself, life seems better when thrilled
Just pour me another drink of adrenaline
Don't we all know, there's no need to calm down
Don't you like to taste life twice, in the moment and in retrospect

5. Resistance

[Music: Juhana Heinonen and Allan Välimaa, lyrics: Juhana Heinonen, arrangement: Re-Armed]

Born to perish in this world of purest forms of devastation
Screams of horror that are forcing you to never give up - the sounds of the damned

When the beating begins
You'll see a new life meaning
Don't sleep and try to resist,
As the darkness comes for your soul

Frozen ghosts of torment calls out your name
Don't pretend that you're not endlessly slaved
Time is fading - save your loved ones today
Seek to the light before it's too late

The reason - unquestioned
The meaning of all hope

Breaking point will define the strength of your perseverance
Resistance is the only key to open reasons why you're suffering

When the beating won't end
You'll sense a new life meaning
Don't sleep and try to resist,
As the darkness comes for your soul

Determine your fate

Nothing is ever what it seems
You can fight or die with broken dreams
Look inside - there's nothing to hide
Release your hate - infection worldwide

Live to kill - all the enemies
Kill to live - as your heart turns to black

Reach out from the nightmare
Burning signs of survival
One chance, one shot, one life
Become stronger than death - again!

Rise beyond your torment - never give in
Hopeless grief makes you dig your own grave
Final warnings of life don't die as a slave
Seek to the light before it's too fucking late

6. The Hollow Lights

[Music: Oskari Niekka, lyrics: Juhana Heinonen, arrangement: Re-Armed]

Live a life on the razor's edge
Holding the pressure with this strength from within
No time to fear or turn back time
Disconnected from these chains of humanity

Father time will erase the weakest ones and leave no trace and the woes of the weak will be thrown away

When we are gone far beyond our lives
We must find a place to rust in peace
We must stay strong through these sleepless nights
We must roam – roam the road unknown

Waking up from the darkest streets
Hollow lights are shining through the mist of eternity
Embrace the trails of bitter peace
Through the endless struggle – we must stay undefeated

Mother earth will erase the weakest ones and leave no trace and the woes of the weak will be thrown away

What lies beyond is unknown
What lies beyond is faraway from home
Home

7. Remain Unbounded

[Music: Allan Välimaa and Oskari Niekka, lyrics: Juhana Heinonen, arrangement: Re-Armed]

Fighting against anything what may come
Boundaries will be broken by the bravest ones
Creatures that won't never be slaved,
In this land of desperation

Deep inside a fire burns
The brightest star that gives them wings to fly away from this madness
Storms will come and there's no shelter
They still won't rest, until they're dead
Obsessed to possess a greater meaning

Hear the ones who are living in violence – violence
Those who remain unbounded
They shall never be buried in silence – silence
They bury all their fears

Freedom is running through their veins
Fearless are these villains of the nightless night
Thousand fists are in the air
There's no time for hesitation

Hear the ones who are living in violence – violence
Those who remain unbounded
They shall never be buried in silence – silence
In the nights of revolution

Those who remain unbounded

8. Words Left Unsaid

[Music: Juhana Heinonen and Oskari Niekka, lyrics: Jouni Matilainen, arrangement: Re-Armed]

Step back!

No matter what comes your way
No matter what comes through the gate
You will stand your ground and bring them down
No matter if you win or lose
No matter if the bridges will burn,
'Cause you have nothing to lose, but your chains

When the sun goes down,

The silence is deafening
In the shadows you reap what you sow

Behind your emotional wall
Alone with loneliness,

In your fortress of solitude
You can still love
This is a wake up – wake-up call

Words left unsaid

No matter if the sun wouldn't rise
No matter how long it takes
As long as you do not stop – words remain unsaid
No matter how long the night
The new dawn will break
Don't let the darkness harden your heart anyway

9. Voyager

[Music: Oskari Niekka, lyrics: Jouni Matilainen, arrangement: Re-Armed, guest vocals on chorus: Micko Hell, guest solo: Sami Tiittanen]

So proudly we go where no human has gone before,

To explore strange new worlds
Dreams that captivated hearts and minds across the generations

Dreams that changed the world

Voyager – reach the stars
Voyager – reach the stars and we will follow

To take the next giant leap, the greater our knowledge increases,
The greater our ignorance unfolds
It's our destiny, to discover worlds unknown

It's written in our DNA

It's a one-way trip to the stars
Journey into the unknown
The secrets of the universe lie waiting to be unsolved
It's a one-way trip to the stars
Journey into the endless void
The cryptic universe lie waiting to be discovered

The universe lies within your grasp
Explore the far frontiers of space
Unlock the gateway to star path
And now it's time for resurrection

10. Built to Last

[Music: Oskari Niekka, Allan Välimaa and Jussi Venäläinen, lyrics: Jouni Matilainen and Juhana Heinonen, arrangement: Re-Armed]

Disarming the powers of corruption – killing the apathy
It's the strength that defines us – destroys the enemy
Breaking the chains of oppression – free from boundaries,
Before chaos takes control – break the cycle, break the cycle

Rise to fall – fall to rise
Open the floodgates and reshape the future

We must, rise up from the shadows of fears
Arise, ascend from the ashes of failure

We are the millennials
The burning truth
Voice for the voiceless
A torch to carry on
Built to last forever
Built to last forever

Nothing is what it seems
We are left with one belief;
Hope is all we have left
Seeing crystal clear now
Visions of brighter future
Dark past lies cold

Tear down their idols that have summoned our names
Fighting for a new generation – we shall remain
Reach out, expand, wake up, aware
Scorching light renews what is dead
Evolve, become, rebirth, remain
Remove shackles that limits our kind

Ash to ash – dust to filth
This is not the last day on earth, last day on earth
