SKYFIRE LYRICS

1. Nightmares Nevermore

[Music: Edlund/Hanner / Lyrics: Wenngrenn]

Double-barreled in your opinion
Trying to be one you never will be
Hiding your true face behind a mask
And you think you will gain respect?

Indifferent to what you give
Indifferent to what we receive
The strength is in myself
Loneliness is no decease

A wall around my precious castle
Nevermore an open book, become a labyrinth

I won't open the gate again
No one shall enter: nightmare
I am staying the way I am
Disgusted by your feeble attempts
to come inside

Indifferent to what you give
Indifferent to what we receive
The strength is in myself
Lonliness is no decease

A wall around my precious castle
Nevermore an open book, become a labyrinth
Pleased with my dream
I won't let it fall apart

2. Haunted By Shadows

[Music: Edlund/Hanner / Lyrics: Sjogren]

Nowhere to go, I'm drifting off
I once was told to trust
In nothing but the eternal heights
And the stars are calling my name

Falling through skies of a new dawn
Nothing can ever change what I've become
I used to be the one in life
Seeking challenges and distant paths

Still, shadows haunting me
In fragments of what used to be
The illusion slips from my hand
As I arrive in newborn land

Heaven is blackened by clouds
Like a Masquerade with the stars
But an aura of starlit energy
Unmasks the biggest lie of all

Before my dusk the image fades
The sky is bound to fall
Nevermore shall I return
The mindless thought is gone

Thunder and rain keeps us from sanity
This journey will never end
Denied by our human vanity
Unclad by the revolutionary mind

Still, shadows haunting me
In fragments of what used to be
The illusion slips from my hand
As I arrive in newborn land

3. Colliding In Mind

[Music: Edlund/Hanner / Lyrics: Wenngrenn]

One thousand questions searching answers
A silent laughter from the other side
I am trying to master the madman in my mind

I must remain calm, wear my mask
Where are the walls that I built?
No, this isn't my fault, I shall feel no guilt

Phrases colliding from different directions
A vortex of words inside my mind
My deepest thoughts, I try to hide

My life is passing by again
All my experience as images
You can not see what is inside
You can't understand what haunts my mind

A new beginning, a new end
I will never learn how to fly
Pictures of the past, passing by

A white lie written on lips
A path not meant for me
You can not see what is inside
You can't understand what haunts my mind

A silent end, a lost soul
Carrying more than he can bear
A lost soul at his silent end
The dreams inside he fears

A silent end, a lost soul
Carrying more than he can bear
A lost soul at his silent end
The dreams inside he fears

Lies...
Guilt...

A silent end, a lost soul
Carrying more than he can bear
A lost soul at his silent end
The dreams inside he fears

A silent end, a lost soul
Carrying more than he can bear
A lost soul at his silent end
The dreams inside he fears

4. Dawn Will Break

[Music: Hanner / Lyrics: Sjogren]

I've conquered my mind, wait for my soul
Silence is all, there's no hope, lost all control
Twilight has come, the ultimate nightmare is here
Inherit the dark side of life, the hunted is near

Nowhere to run, no where to dwell
Once struck by the furious pain.
This can't be real!

The dark side
Has taken over me
I feel the beast inside me come to life
As I leave the human soul

Frightened by shadows, fiends from within

The gloomy eyes I see, caused by the never ending sin
So cold the night, burning sensations are coming through
A new dawn will break, hope will arrive but nightfall too

Can't see the light, a shelter of emptiness
Awakened by powers buried deep inside of me!

I wake up in anguish...cold sweat and shattered thoughts

Nowhere to run, nowhere to dwell,
Once struck by the furious pain.
This can't be real!

The dark side
Has taken over me
I feel the beast inside me come to life
As I leave the human soul

5. Uncloud The Sky

[Music: Edlund / Lyrics: Wenngrenn]

Where is the sun? I hope it's gone
Only rain makes my world fade to grey
Slowly marching to a future unknown
I glance on what was, did I evolve to fast?

You can not reach me
You are lost in your own lies
I want to penetrate your soul
Is there anything that's dead in what is alive?

You spoke the lie, I lived your lie
Unaware of what was to come
A silent whisper, my final call
Slowly marching... towards

The death, such a relief
Uncloud the sky for me
Violins playing at my funeral
Will you remember me after all?

Memories left on earth and in mind
Will we ever understand what is inside?
A new hope, is this true?
Never mind the voices, I go my own way...

You can not reach me
You are lost in your own lies
I want to penetrate your soul
Is there anything that's dead in what is alive?

You spoke the lie, I lived your lie
Unaware of what was to come
A silent whisper, my final call
Slowly marching... towards

The death, such a relief
Uncloud the sky for me
Violins playing at my funeral
Will you remember me after all?

The death, such a relief
Uncloud the sky for me
Violins playing at my funeral
Will you remember me after all?

6. Shapes Of Insanity

[Music: Edlund/Hanner/Jonsson / Lyrics: Sjogren]

Reach out and talk to me
We're heading towards unexplored lands
Never to look back
At this world of deceit

Searching for an answer
When freedom is forever gone
We will bring back life
To the lands of despair

All alone
True in soul
The world arises from the call
Chaotic spirits
In control
The life you knew is soon to fall

Where is your god, once above all
You cannot trust him anymore
Fools of the living
living a lie of the dead

Wasted lives and endless pain
Falling reigns is what I see
Earth will tremble and remain
Sharing thoughts when all is free

Mindless patterns, shapes of insanity
Leading your way
Self destruction and genocide
Thoughts beyond control

Searching for an answer
When freedom is forever gone
We will bring back life
To the lands of despair

All alone
True in soul
The world arises from the call
Chaotic spirits
In control
The life you knew is soon to fall

Reach out and talk to me
We're heading towards unexplored lands
Never to look back
At this world of deceit

Searching for an answer
When freedom is forever gone
We will bring back life
To the lands of despair

All alone
True in soul
The world arises from the call
Chaotic spirits
In control
The life you knew is soon to fall

7. Blinded By Euphoria

[Music: Hanner / Lyrics: Wenngrenn]

A euphoria, you live in a dream
Wake up and smell reality's flower

Unwanted emotions stuck like a
thick layer of glue; weakness
It will break you down, make you
blind, in a way never
experience before

Trying desperately to get this
feeling out of my mind
But every time I try it's just like
"something's dragging you back"
Believe me
Release me from this evil spell
so I can be whole again

Unwanted emotions stuck like a
thick layer of glue; weakness
It will break you down, make you
blind, in a way never
experienced before
Before and after, hatred toward the lie
You live in euphoria

Trying desperately to get this
feeling out of my mind
But every time I try it's just like
"something's dragging you back"
Believe me
Release me from this evil spell
so I can be whole again

Indifferent to what you speak of
Your words have already been spoken

Blinded and unaware of the truth
No own way of thinking left
Filtrated emotions, where is your true spirit?
You have not lived this life

Trying desperately to get this
feeling out of my mind
But every time I try it's just like
"something's dragging you back"
Believe me
Release me from this evil spell
so I can be whole again

8. Caged

[Music: Hanner / Lyrics Wenngrenn]

The silence ends with a thunderclap
The sky turns black again
A roar from the sky
Makes the silence feel so wonderful
My eyes are open again
I can't see more than unclear (shadows)
Shadows that seem to follow my path
Lightning burn my eyes

A slumber, a silent and deeper sleep
The smell of rain
Burned by the lightning within
Unknown is this pain

The clouds lie silent like a cage
around what used to be
I can not reach the other side and
you can not reach me
The clouds lie silence like a cage
around what used to be
Stuck within this cube for all time,
from this place I can not flee

The whispers make me insane
I can not shut them out
No longer in control of my body
I close my eyes, dreams emerge
A new thunderclap awakens my mind
It is all like it used to be
I am trapped within my own imagination
Who has got the key to the gate?

A slumber, a silent and deeper sleep
The smell of rain
Burned by the lightning within
Unknown is this pain

The clouds lie silent like a cage
around what used to be
I can not reach the other side and
you can not reach me
The clouds lie silence like a cage
around what used to be
Stuck within this cube for all time,
from this place I can not flee

Slowly the clouds loosen their grip
I can see the other side
My dream end as many times before
Alone I stand again...

A slumber, a silent and deeper sleep
The smell of rain
Burned by the lightning within
Unknown is this pain

The clouds lie silent like a cage
around what used to be
I can not reach the other side and
you can not reach me
The clouds lie silence like a cage
around what used to be
Stuck within this cube for all time,
from this place I can not flee

9. Mind Revolution

[Music: Edlund/Hanner / Lyrics: Sjogren]

The eternal breath is calling
Ever to be sanctified
There's nothing like the pain
And the hollow sound of silence

The time has come
To tell the tale of a thousand years
The time is now
To whisper the ancient secret

Yesterday, filled with hubris
Now I met my superior soul
The wrath of all forgotten
Twisting my body, bending my mind

Nothing is what it used to be
From an emptiness divine
Once lost in the immense void
Now a molten core deep within

The speed of light, the sounds so clear
Stone cold, as I touch your withered face
Oblivious to the nature
You give hail to the higher ones

Mind the revolution
Revelation in my mind
This is the only solution
When all is left behind

The way things are, the way things were
There is no trust in telling lies
This time we won't look back
Till we reach our final destination

This is the great disaster
Crawling from beneath
Mournful, the final words are spoken
Without life I must remain

The truth lies for me open
Struck by the ricochet
Damned by the world going faster
This is the great disaster

Evolution complete
The choice is made.
Racing for perfection and superior forms.

Some things were meant to be
The fact is so clear
Nothing lies before us
It's all so vague

The source we all descend from, always obsolete
Turning from instincts and inner peace

The way we were, we still can't focus
Tomorrow brings us one step closer to our fate

The speed of light, the sounds so clear
Stone cold, as I touch your withered face
Oblivious to the nature
You give hail to the higher ones

Mind the revolution
Revelation in my mind
This is the only solution
When all is left behind

Once again we all will see
Destruction and shattered harmony
But in the end it's all so clear
Another time is near
