THAUROROD LYRICS

1. Power

Once I saw in a dream
A land where our children would roam
Like sap from a tree
The dust of our fallen will lie in our home

Come with me 'cause
Power we need
Power we breathe
Power to break through the gates
To our dreams

Full of power we are together
Full of power when joining our hands
With our brothers
Full of power we are forever
Full of power we are

How I've longed for this prize
The sun rises east of the river we crossed
To see it all with my eyes
I gaze up to heaven and think
Of our lost

Come with me 'cause
Power we need
Power we breathe
Power to break through the gates
To our dreams

Full of power we are together
Full of power when joining our hands
With our brothers
Full of power we are forever
Full of power we are

[Solo: Nyman, Pohjalainen]

Full of power we are together
Full of power when joining our hands
With our brothers
Full of power we are forever
Full of power uniting our armies together

Full of power we are together
Full of power when joining our hands
With our brothers
Full of power we are forever
Full of power we are

2. The Commonwealth Lives

The Tower of London
I sit in its dungeon
And simply for hearing the call

Though I cannot remember
This foolish endeavor
I vaguely recall how we blundered it all

Oliver Cromwell
Lord Protector
Behind his lectern

With dreams to be soured
By Royalist power
We die in this tower
But that's what you get

A torrent of wind
No escape from this madness
The power within
Puts the wind back into my sails

And in spite of your lies
The Commonwealth lives
The Commonwealth lives
The Common, the Common, the Commonwealth lives!

From Ireland's fair hills
To the highlands of Dunbar
His body lies here
But his name traveled so far

And through all this fighting
He would not become king
With providence spoken
He gave us free hand

And from Marston Moor
To the whole civil war
We all made a stand
For our glorious land

[Solo: Koskela, Pohjalainen]

A torrent of sin
No escape from the madness
The power within
Puts the wind back into my sails

The Commonwealth lives

And in spite of your lies
The Commonwealth lives

3. Coast Of Gold

To the ocean tides we are
Sailing bow high
Compass our guide the sails
Pulled so tight
I close my eyes and dream
Of what we'll find
Dark clouds moving fast as we
Face the storm's might

Here on the waves the sea will command
Men on the deck they scan for land
Our journey takes us far away
If only I could find a way

Sail with me to the coast of gold
Leave behind the turmoil at home
Sail with me to the coast of gold
We will find the lands unknown

So immense the sea
So mysterious and deep

Four months how many more
We sail upon this ocean?
Could it be that I am wrong
We sail towards damnation?

Here I am still out in the sea
Risking my men but they are free
Our journey takes us far away
If only I could find a way

[Solo: Pohjalainen]

Sail with me to the coast of gold
Leave behind the turmoil at home
Sail with me to the coast of gold
We will find the lands unknown

Sail with me to the coast of gold
Leave behind the turmoil at home
Sail with me to the coast of gold
We will find the lands unknown
Sail with me to the coast of gold

4. 24601

Here I roam, abandoned by the world
Trying to find a barn's open door
Cold night is closing in while I walk
Pile of hay to lay down to rest until dawn

No tavern will take me their guest
A starving man without any rest
Finally an old man warm and kind
Endows me shelter, feast and bed overnight

Acts of a criminal man
Old man with his mercy will stand
What is this chaos in my head?
The good and the evil contend

My head is clear
I know the way
I leave behind my wicked name
I have a goal
I'm on my way
Henceforth I help the poor and frail

"24601, 24601",
Calls Javert
My name was Jean Valjean
24601
19 years I've done
Now I'm free
My name is not Valjean

Who is this law's haunted man
Accused for the crimes in my past
If I will speak I'm condemned
Silence and I will be damned

Am I the Satan in paradise
If I stay here to live my life
And if I go to hell again
Will I be an angel there instead

"24601, 24601,"
Calls Javert
My name is Jean Valjean
"24601, 24601,"
Calls out Javert
My name is Jean Valjean

[Solo: Koskela, Pohjalainen, Nyman]

I have come to take all the blame
I need to go for a promise I've made
I will return for the judgement of law
Was not aware
This child's the new meaning to war

"24601, 24601,"
Calls Javert
My name is Jean Valjean
"24601, 24601,"
Calls out Javert
My name is Jean Valjean

"24601, 24601,"
Calls Javert
My name is Jean Valjean
"24601, 24601,"
Calls out Javert
My name is Jean Valjean

On my dying bed I can tell
Time has come to join with my dear friends
I will die but my life is fulfilled
Let me go to eternal rest and you live on

5. Feed The Flame

Fire from the heart
Light up the sky
Life is an art
Master it while you are
Searching for truth
Of our lives
You are the light
Guiding us although we

Go through our days
Confusing your mind
Set in our ways
Just living our lives
There's more to see
Than what is before our eyes

Hard to believe
That they never told you
There's a whole world out there
Waiting for you
Even the clouds seem to freeze
Upon the sky

Walk through the fire
To enter the light
Banish the eternal night
Stand tall and proud
Let your heart feed the flame
Things will never again
Be the same

This much is true
Heaven or hell
It starts with you
Change begins with yourself
Reach for the light
In our lives
Fight the good fight
Save us although we are

Stuck in our ways
Confusing your mind
Wasting our days
Just living our lives
There's more to see
A world that is beyond our eyes

Hard to believe
That they never told you
There's a whole world out there
Waiting for you
Even the stars seem to bleed
Upon the sky

Walk through the fire
To enter the light
Banish the eternal night
Stand tall and proud
Let your heart feed the flame
Things will never again
Be the same

[Solo: Nyman, Koskela, Pohjalainen]

Walk through the fire
To enter the light
Banish the eternal night
Stand tall and proud
Let your heart feed the flame
Things will never again
Be the same

6. Cannibal Island

Welcome to the cannibal island...
Welcome to the cannibal island...

Deep inside this land
Taigas neverend
Inside these borders brutality commence

Oh those wretched people
They could never know
Their desolated destination far away
From home

Ten days the journey still farther to the east
Then river Ob to the north
Finally they did enter the isle
The isle where thousands would die

Soon the storm of snow
Began to lash around
All these motley people starving on
The frozen ground
Cannibals among them
Began to kill the weak
Human flesh of dead or not was torn apart
Like meat

Into immensity of Siberia's reach
Deported there from the streets
Unwanted masses were taken so far
Onto the island of death

Welcome to the cannibal island
Welcome to the cannibal island
Welcome to the cannibal island
Welcome to the cannibal island

[Solo: Pohjalainen, Nyman]

The river here is so icy and cold
The current too strong to go
If I could flee from this forsaken isle
Out on these taigas lost and never found?

Welcome to the cannibal island
Welcome to the cannibal island
Welcome to the cannibal island
Welcome to the cannibal island

Welcome...
To this island
To the end of the road
Welcome...
To this island
To abandon all hope

7. Into The Flood

On through the haze
I see through the fire
A path through the flames
Fly true, don't let me down

Hold my breath and aim
Would you do the same for me?

On a hill surrounded, sacrificed
We look into a million eyes
Hold my cross and pray
Here we've come, and here we'll stay

Into the flood, we're riding
And for our blood, we're fighting
Lord, oh protect me tonight
Lest an arrow or knife
Take me to my final sight
Born alive in the life we gave
From the cradle to the grave

Down to the wire
The tides of the battlefield
Water and fire
Fortune, don't let me down
Hold my breath and aim
Lest the same be done for me

On this hill, beleaguered, sacrificed
Against the wall, my blood is mine
Close my eyes and pray
Here we've come and here we'll stay

Into the flood, we're riding
And for our blood, we're fighting
Lord, oh protect me tonight
Lest an arrow or knife
Take me to my final sight
Born alive in the life we gave
From the cradle to the grave

[Solo: Koskela, Pohjalainen]

Into the flood, we're riding
And for our blood, we're fighting
Lord, oh protect me tonight
Lest an arrow or knife
Take me to my final sight
Born alive in the life we gave
From the cradle to the grave

Cradle to the grave

8. My Sun Will Rise

I awake
We come about
And follow the sun
In our wake
A furious reminder

Of the cost
Decisions born of anger undone
For our lost
The battle is decided

Is it fate we carry on
Who will survive
Only the strong

Fight 'til it's won
Foes are defeated
Armies left standing
Or slain without meaning

All said and done
A story completed
My sun will rise over fields of my home
Again

We pound the land
Heart beating, alive
In our sight
Our victory looms glorious

Steel to flesh
The fight goes on until there's no light
Turned to ash
By dawn we'll be victorious

Give thanks to fate and carry on
Who will survive
Only the strong

[Solo: Nyman]

Fight 'til it's won
Foes are defeated
Armies left standing
Or slain without meaning

All said and done
A story completed
My sun will rise over fields of my home
Again

Fight 'til it's won
Foes are defeated
Armies left standing
Or slain without meaning

All said and done
A story completed
My sun will rise over fields of my home
Again

9. Illuminati

I'll not consent
I know more they concede
This is the end for their dominion
In secrecy
We grow to dare their power
This is the rise!
Rise of our rebellion

These are men who will believe
What they can see
These are men who want to prove reality

I see no Satan nor God
Heaven and hell don't exist at all
By my cognition of world
I see no Satan nor God

Indoctrination
Of those who will be born
Within the Catholic machination
There will be end
The existing system must bend
And now it's time
For illumination

These are men who will believe
What they can see
These are men who want to prove reality

I see no Satan nor God
Heaven and hell don't exist at all
By my cognition of world
I see no Satan nor God

[Solo: Nyman]

Time to illuminate
Open your eyes
Make up your mind

Time to illuminate
Welcome the new world
A life without chains

Open your eyes and doubt the church
And doubt their truths
Open your eyes don't let them feed
You all the sooth
Open your eyes and take a glance up
In the sky
Tomorrow you can be enlightened
By the wise

These are men who will believe
What they can see
These are men who want to prove reality

[Solo: Pohjalainen]

I see no Satan nor God
Heaven and hell don't exist at all
By my cognition of world
I see no Satan nor God

I see no Satan nor God
Heaven and hell don't exist at all
By my cognition of world
I see no Satan nor God

10. Halla

This year has been so full of hope
And dreams that never came
My days been like a leaf that roams
With winds of autumn day
The scorching flames they boil my blood
Rushing me further on
Dark shades will fall upon my heart
But I'll walk until a new day

Winter is here
Come to heal me scar my wounds
Winter is here
The end of the road or a new beginning?

I want to find the right words to say
To tell you where I've been
Frustration hits me low at times
As these walls fall down on me
This morning frost was all around
The winter's on the way
Deep snow will come to cloak the ground
And all is pure again

Winter is here
Come to heal me scar my wounds
Winter is here
Give me strength to journey on
Winter is here
Tears don't fall they hide from freezing
Winter is here
Take me to where the new day is dawning
Winter is here

[Solo: Kravljaca]

Winter is here
Come to heal me scar my wounds
Winter is here
Give me strength to journey on
Winter is here
Tears don't fall they hide from freezing
Winter is here
Take me to where the new day is dawning
Winter is here

11. Deja-Vu

[Japenese Bonus Track]
[originally by Iron Maiden]
