FATHER TIME
Music by Tolkki, Words by Kotipelto
Walking down the path that
leads me to my memories
Pacing all the way without a care in my stride
Where are the friends of my yesterday
have they moved on with they lives
Can we still laugh and joke about things like before
Thereīs no need to hide
the past that I have left behind
Itīs a good resource somewhere for me to find
Why am I waiting for someone to reach out
it should be all up to them
keeping in touch ainīt that easy but Iīll have to try
Where have all the years
gone
thatīs what I am asking now
What have I learnt so far
tell me Father Time - tell me now
Now I understand Iīll
take from time what I need
And I store it inside itīs there for me to find
I canīt deny that the years will pass by
but it wonīt bother me
Coz now I will set out to realize my dream
Where have all the years
gone
thatīs what I am asking now
What have I learnt so far
tell me Father Time - tell me now |
WILL THE SUN RISE?
Music by Tolkki, Words by Kotipelto
Throwing my dreams out of
my mind
casting them into the sky
canceling tasks Iīve delayed for so long
now itīs do or die
I canīt be seen I canīt
be heard
but I am here and I am wondering
Will the sun rise tomorrow
will it light up my sky
can I wake up with no sorrow awaiting
Will the sun rise tomorrow
will I still see the dawn
and not worry ībout the future anymore
At the end of each day I
promise myself
Iīd better start to live
coz sooner or later Iīll find out
thereīs so much I can give
I canīt be seen I canīt be heard
but I am here and I am wondering
Will the sun rise tomorrow
will it light up my sky
can I wake up with no sorrow awaiting
will the sun rise tomorrow
will I still see the dawn
and not worry ībout the future anymore |
ETERNITY
Music by Tolkki, Words by Kotipelto
When clouds are covering
the sky
I canīt help thinking whatīs behind
In a fading evening
I can feel strange thoughts in my mind
What if we arenīt alone here
thereīs a clone of everyone somewhere
that duplicates all that we do
not like me not like you but our other ego
there ainīt no wars or crises
only joy and compromises
time has stood still
why donīt you take me
there
wanna feel some infinity
why donīt we just dare
coz after all remains ... Eternity
A landscape with no trees
and a mist arising from the distance
an illusion just for me
or a proper reward and a chance
there ainīt no wars or crises
only joy and compromises
time has stood still
why donīt you take me
there
wanna feel some infinity
why donīt we just dare
coz after all remains ... Eternity |

SPEED OF
LIGHT
Music by Tolkki, Words by Kotipelto
Today is just an other day
of my life too short to live
I should have somekind of meaning
a destiny to believe in
before I go to sleep
I find some pictures of a
time
when everything was still so fine
although the years have passed by
I will give it all I have inside...everything
Iīm away lost in my
thoughts
everyday my life goes by
at the speed of light |
UNCERTAINLY
Music & Words by Kotipelto
Learning by trying itīs
hard to deny it
while paying for what I used to know
Dreams are deceiving untill Iīm achieving
the goals I havenīt set too low
Waiting for a new day
to wipe away
the Uncertainty that flows around me
once again to stay
So many choices but so few
answers
my time slips away while thinking too much
Whom to believe in theyīre all just repeating
the same old lies so nice to clutch
Waiting for a new day
to wipe away
the Uncertainty that flows around me
once again to stay |
SEASON OF CHANGE
Words & Music by Tolkki
Season of change life
feels so strange
Look into my eyes do you see the truth
Iīm lost and alone feelings unknown
Come to me stronger than before
On winds of time my soul
will fly
The angels are knocking at my door
Oh now I need to be free
From all this hatred I feel inside
Let it be my dreams
Let it be my thoughs
All those things in my heart
One too many days
One too many years
I wasted for nothing
I never realized
The truth is inside
Of every man for all to see
Listen to me now
Iīm so close to you
Never felt like this before
The carousel is spinning
fast
better enjoy while it lasts
Every moment is like gold
youīll remember when youīre old
And the meaning of this life
is to live and is to die
Make the best out of your dreams
theyīre the world where you are free
All the sorrow and the pain
will be washed away by rain
An eternal joy will come
it can be found by everyone
Though the end is drawing near
Iīm not feeling any fear
I have found the truth inside
after all the tears Iīve cried
Season of Change... |

BABYLON
Words & Music by Tolkki
A new day is rising in
ancient Babylon
Revealing mysteries to see
and the endless caravan
never ending itīs journey
with the wings of the wind I will fly
I can hear you calling me
I am blind but I see
Babylon
your memory haunts me forever
wonīt leave me be
Babylon
your gloryīs stronger than ever
for all to see
Centuries have passed by
but your memory still lives on
In the minds of those who see
Under the summer moon
there comes a sight
that stays with me forever
I can hear you calling me
I am blind but I see
Babylon your memory haunts
me forver
wonīt leave me be
Babylon
your gloryīs stronger that ever
for all to see
And underneath the starlit
sky
I feel so strong Iīll never die
Iīm on this road to Eternity
My soul will live forever - Iīm free |
TOMORROW
Music by Tolkki, Words by Johnson
Iīm staring out the
window
wondering will I soon know
the answers to the questions within
where should I begin
Iīm delusioned by a clear crystal night
While trying to find some insight
the solution is close at hand yet still so far away
Iīll turn the tables
īround and find another way
Iīll leave all this behind and move on today
I will take things as they
come
look out for number one
and Iīll be back tomorrow
Feeling strong and brave inside
my head up high with pride
yes Iīll be back tomorrow
Iīm facing my nightmares
again
determined that I wonīt bend
now the answers are coming to me
Iīm learning how to believe
I know now that this is the way
Iīve found my red-letter day
Iīve been there out on a limb
but now Iīve finally come in
Iīve turned the tables
īround and found another way
Iīve left it all behind for a better day
I will take things as they
come
look out for number one
and Iīll be back tomorrow
Feeling strong and brave inside
my head up high with pride
yes Iīll be back tomorrow |
NIGHT TIME ECLIPSE
Music by Tolkki, Words by Kotipelto
If I could stay awake for
awhile
it would be another morning
donīt wanna fall asleep now when
everything seems so far and beyond
Walking down a familiar
road
but the darkness is misleading me
I know I should feel fear inside
but still the shadows is where I wanna be
Just an ordinary day
stealing all the hope away
wanting me to be the one who has dreams made of clay
My fading confused mind
creating phrases unknown
I know I shouldīt stay
awake
if I fall asleep they just might find me
Now all is so clear
I can finally proceed
My fading confused mind
creating phrases unknown
Waiting for the dawn
soon to arrive
so few options that I have
and I can use
Lifeīs circumstances
can be so cruel
If I take a chance I just might
make the wrong move |
FOREVER
Words & Music by Tolkki
I stand alone in the
darkness
the winter of my life came so fast
memories go back to my childhood
to days I still recall
Oh how happy I was then
there was no sorrow there was no pain
walking through the green fields
sunshine in my eyes
Iīm still there
everywhere
Iīm the dust in the wind
Iīm the star in the northern sky
I never stayed anywhere
Iīm the wind in the trees
would you wait for me forever ? |
Music &
Words by Tolkki
Look around thereīs no
time to waste
life goes on nothingīs gonna change
Feel the winds of life blowing cold
it wonīt take so long you are growing old
there is no answer to be found
it is so easy to fall without a sound
Days of loving and gold
kept me from feeling so old
times Iīll always recall
when the night meets the day
Gates of heaven I saw
while flying through the misty dawn
those days Iīll always recall
when the night meets the day
I donīt wanna let you out
of my sight
but here Iīm lost and alone in the night |
