STRATOVARIUS LYRICS

1. Darkest Hours

These frantic memories
They bring me down, tormenting peace
The darkness drowns me
I'm restless without sleep
When day breaks, I'm still awake,
I recall my mistakes

I'll be never alone, never again, never alone,
I'll be never alone, never again, never alone...

When all my hope is gone,
I'm waiting for the dawn
I raise my head and find my own way out of the dark
I've left my past behind
I'm reaching for the light
I'm not afraid to live my life - I'll take what is mine.

I'll make my way through the darkest hours of my days!

Those frozen memories
Laid out for me, all I can see
The night surrounds me
Destroying harmony
What lies beneath, demising me?
I've lost my purity

I'll be never alone, never again, never alone,
I'll be never alone, never again, never alone...

When all my hope is gone,
I'm waiting for the dawn
I raise my head and find my own way out of the dark
I've left my past behind
I'm reaching for the light
I'm not afraid to live my life - I'll take what is mine.

I'll make my way through the darkest hours of my days!

[Solo]

When all my hope is gone,
I'm waiting for the dawn
I raise my head and find my own way out of the dark
I've left my past behind
I'm reaching for the light
I'm not afraid to live my life - I'll take what is mine.

When all my hope is gone,
I'm waiting for the dawn
I raise my head and find my own way out of the dark
I leave my past behind
I'm reaching for the light
I'm not afraid to live my life - I'll take what is mine.

I'll make my way through the darkest hours of my days!

2. Infernal Maze

You faded away
And woe is all that remains
And I have gone astray
My mind full of theory and states
I'm carrying a seed of insanity
A burden of faded memories

Delusion, destruction,
Salvation
Go on without saying

Hate in this creed
Awareness so numb this time
Underneath the skin
You're still drooling in

And what I've come to find
A state of mind
I need to find
A way to carry it
For my soul will once again be free

But first I need to bare it instead:

Infernal Maze
I'm lost within an internal game
Infernal Maze
The demons are calling out your name

Infernal Maze.

Infernal Maze
These demons, these demons,
Haunting me, Infernal Maze!
Infernal Maze!
Infernal Maze.

3. Darkest Hours (Demo)

4. Against The Wind (Live)

[live recording, Sofia, Bulgaria]
[Words & Music by Tolkki/Kotipelto]

Once again I try to make things work
Facing all the power of society
Searching all the answers of the life
I'll never make it on my own
Was I meant to fail everytime
Seems to me that's my destiny
Is this all that's left to me
Confusion and bad memories

But now my time has come
No more running in the dark
I want much more than this
I really want it all

[Chorus]

Against the wind we run
To every place under the sun
We've got so much power inside
We will never give up
Against the wind we go
Towards the new shore
Together we'll forget the sorrow
It's forever gone

[Repeat chorus x2]

5. Black Diamond (Live)

[live recording, Göteborg, Sweden]
[Music: T. Tolkki / Lyrics: T. Kotipelto]

Again I see you standing there watching me.
Your gaze, those eyes are tantalizing openly,
Inviting me to get close to you,
Can't help myself.
There's fascination in the air.

I try to fight this strong sensation
But there's no chance to escape from this temptation.
Feels like I've known you before, repeating phrases,
But I yearn for something more.

[Chorus]

I know I can't stay by your side forever,
But I know I won't forget your beauty,
My Black Diamond.

[Repeat chorus x2]
