CHASING SHADOWS
Music & Words by Tolkki
I have been sailing across the oceans
flying across the blue sky
Without never finding the answer
the answer to the question why
just when you think you reach it, itīs gone
Chasing Shadows, Chasing shadows
Chasing Shadows, all your life
Harder you try to fix things in your life
Faster you know itīs in vain
Searching for loving from strangest places
Nothing is left but the pain
Chasing Shadows, Chasing shadows
Chasing Shadows, all your life |
4TH REICH
Music & Words by Tolkki
Sign of the times and writings on the wall
they show me itīs time has come
Order of a new kind we will all find
stronger than never before
Things are pretty much the same
like in the year thirty eight
oh wonīt we ever learn
This time isīt gonna be different
so letīs all join our hands
And let the children sing
for the last time
4th Reich is rising
canīt you see the signs
4th Reich is rising
for the last time
Letīs just press more money
donīt worry about the inflation
we got to have more weapons to carry on
Unemployment and sorrow cannot be avoided at this point
but thins will be so different when they are
ruling the world
4th Reich is rising
canīt you see the signs
4th Reich is rising
for the last time
what will be left to our children
is this our final destiny |
EYES OF THE WORLD
Words & Music by Tolkki
Everywhere I go I see people staring at me
It makes me feel so strange
why wonīt they just leave me be
So take a look in the mirror
and maybe youīll see all the things that happened
while you were looking at me
Am I really so different
In the Eyes of the world
you are no different to me
In the Eyes of the world
is it so hard to see now
Everything we do is running to the sand
And who is to take the food away
from the childrenīs hand
We all could be friends now
and itīs not a crime
But we have to be quick now
because we donīt have much time
Are we really so different
In the Eyes of the world
you are no different to me
In the Eyes of the world
is it so hard to see now |
HOLD ON TO YOUR DREAM
Music by Tolkki/Lassila
Since you were born pushed into corner
and left all alone
Told what to do, obey all the rules
be just like everyone else those fools
Day at the school
teacherīs a bully
Youīre mobbed as a rule
nothing from TV
Your folks are away
you are trapped inside this house you must stay - home
Now itīs time for you to move on
Leave the shadows of your past
Donīt let them haunt you forever
Hold on to your dream
Somewhere thereīs a beam of hope
which is guiding your way through the dark
This is your chance
Your love your romance
Hold on to your dream and never give up
in your life - Hold on to your Dream |
MAGIC CARPET RIDE
Music & Words by Tolkki
Let me take you to the far away places
Where youīve never been to the orient lands
Soon you will notice the mountains and forests
Weīre flying over them now
Donīt you be afraid, just take my hand
as we race with four winds
Welcome to the land of mystery
Welcome to the land of secrets
This is no ancient history
We are flying through the gates of Babylon
Allah is speaking us all with his mighty
voice
Bowing to his power as we go down
This magic carpet ride is not a dream to us
Itīs really happening |
WE ARE THE FUTURE
Music & Words by Tolkki
What is wrong with a man destroying the
land
Our planet is full of waste
Sheltering ozone layer is no more a shield
the temperature is rising up
Now itīs time to stop this madness
preventing increasing sadness
Letīs put end to all this while we can
Save us we are the future
Lead us in to the better world now
Show us the way to reality
No more injustice or cruelty
Save us we are the future
Lead us in to the better world now
Show us the way to reality
injustice is all gone
Fast, fast stop this course now
Last, last or we wonīt last
Past stop living in the past
or you will die
End, end of our time
Time our precious time
Crime, crime against mankind we have to pay
In the course of mad destruction
Thereīll be no coming back
The nuclear end is in sight
soon there will be no one to fight with
Take a look in to the sky
It may be your last time
The complete end is in sight
Soon there will be no one to fight with me

TEARS OF ICE
Words & Music by Tolkki
Tears of Ice falling down my cheeks
forming a lake in itīs surface
I see you face and I watch it till itīs gone
There were times all I did was cry out your name
only thing I feel now is pain
Tears of Ice frozen heart icy drop fall to
the ground
forming stream golden dream
that will lead me to your door
There were times all I did was cry out your name
only thing I feel now is pain
Baby you should see what you did to me
now I am crying tears of ice
Baby you should feel like I felt in those days
now I am crying tears of ice |
DREAMPSACE
Music & Words by Tolkki
Looking back through time to my childhood
days
I used to have a place where I could escape the reality
But lately things have been so difficult for me
trying to reach for the light in the fall of darkness
Waiting watching my life Iīm wasting my
time
Iīm losing grip from life
Going back to my dreamspace leaving it all behind
soon the things will be allright when I get there
Am I safe in here, nothing left to fear
I will close my eyes and float away with stream
Wandering here in this eternal darkness
no signs of light anywhere I am going in sane
Now I am leaving this life
No hope left I want to die |
REIGN OF TERROR
Music & Words by Tolkki
What the hell is going on
Skijumpers making music that sells gold
Thereīs no talent in this game
Hunting, hunting for the fame
Publicity is all you need
thatīs why it feels to me like
Reign of Terror
Everything costs so much nowadays
An individuals vanish in the haze
Entertainment for the masses
saving, saving your own asses
Rats are leaving sinking ship
still it feels to me like
Reign of Terror
What the hell is going on
everything is upside down
Hunting, hunting for the fame
terror, terror everywhere |
THIN ICE
Music & Words by Tolkki/Lassila
Iīm walking on a thin ice
Lying paralyzed
Thereīs staying thereīs alone
Reaching for the unknown
In the mirror I see despair
In the closet I smell death
Thereīs needles in my bed
Iīve finally lost my head |
ATLANTIS
Music by Tolkki
Intrumental |
ABYSS
Music & Words by Tolkki
Iīm out on the open sea
the wind is embracing me
Iīm watching the setting sun
Far far away from you
thereīs not much that I could
Do you know whatīs the only way for me
Into the depths I fall
into the unknown darkness I go
Down, Down, Down
down, down, down
falling into the Abyss
A morning of no recall
no memory no nothing at all
the sun is blinding my eyes
The pain I feel in my head
I think I go back to bed
Or should I have just one more
Into the depths I fall
into the unknown darkness I go
Down, Down, Down
down, down, down
falling into the Abyss |
SHATTERED
Music & Words by Tolkki
I worked so hard to get my aim
Pulled out wrong card is this my last game
Too fast too son you know it takes time
Hasty deeds spoilt the chances of mine
Iīm burning inside outside seems all
right
Try not to think about it much
Itīs hard to say when I will play againg
Shattered, Shattered my hands are
shattered
Shattered, Shattered my life is shattered
Iīm dressed to kill and ready to score
Third pain pill and thereīs pain no more
I canīt break out, out of these walls
Walls that sometimes the skull is caled
Iīm burning inside outside seems all
right
Try not to think about it much
Itīs hard to say when I will play againg
Shattered, Shattered my hands are
shattered
Shattered, Shattered my life is shattered |
WINGS OF TOMORROW
Music & Words by Tolkki
New winds are blowing over the world can
you feel it
Message is spreading among all the people
Future is calling, history is leaving behind
Nobody is thinking about the past days
If you want to have a look in future world
If you have an open mind now it is your turn
Come join our forces to this trip on the Wings of Tomorrow
Concider that this world could be free
from all this hatred

Still mankind is falling, planning itīs
ruin everyday
But hey we can still stop this madness together
If you want to have a look in future world
If you have an open mind now it is your turn
Come join our forces to this trip on the Wings of Tomorrow |
Music & Words by Tolkki
Shining there in the sky light our way
across the land
Black clouds in front of you face fading into the haze
In this prison of mine my soul lies in despair
My mind wanders through time tell me what
is my crime
What is behind velvet lies heart as cold as the ice
in this prison of mine my soul lies in despair
Wonīt you set me free now I have to leave |
