Chasing Shadows 4th Reich Eyes Of The World Hold On To Your Dream Magic Carpet Ride We Are The Future Tears Of Ice Dreamspace Reign Of Terror Thin Ice Abyss Shattered Wings Of Tomorrow Chasing Shadows (Tolkki) I have been sailing Across the oceans Flying across the blue sky Without never finding the answers The answer to question why * Just when you think you reach it It's gone ** Chasing shadows Chasing shadows Chasing shadows All your life Harder you try to fix things in your life Faster you know it's vain Searching for loving From strangest places Nothing is left but the pain Repeat * Repeat ** (x2) 4th Reich (Tolkki) Sign of the times And writings on the wall They show me its 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 38 Oh won't we ever learn? This time it's gonna be different So let's all join our hands And let the children sing for the last time * 4th Reich is rising Can't you see the signs? 4th Reich is rising For the last time Let's just press more money Don'w worry about the inflation We got to have more weapons to carry on Unemloyment and sorrow cannot be avoided at this point But things will be so different When they are ruling the world Repeat * What will be left to our children? Is this our final destiny? Repeat * Eyes Of The World (Tolkki) Everywhere I go I see people staring at me It makes me feel so strange Why won't they just leave me be? So take a look in the mirror And maybe you'll see All the things that happened While you were looking at me Am I really so different? * In the eyes of the world You're not different to me In the eyes of the world Is it so hard to see now? Everything we do Is running into the sand And who's to take the food Away from the childrens' hand We all could be friends now And it's not a crime But we have to be quick now 'Cause we haven't much time Are we really so different? Repeat *(x2) Hold On To Your Dream (Tolkki/Lassilla) 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 Teahcer's bully You're mobbed as a rule Nothing from tv Your folks are away You are trapped inside this house you must stay home * Now it's time for you to move on Leave the shadows of your past Don't let them haunt you forever ** Hold on to your dream Somewhere there's a beam Of hope which is guiding your way through the dark This is you chance Your life, your romance Hold on to your dream and never give up in your life Hold on to your dream Repeat * Repeat ** Magic Carpet Ride (Tolkki) Let me take you To the faraway places Where you've never been To the orient lands Soon you will notice The mountains and the forests We're flying over them now Don't be afraid, just take my hand As we race with four winds * Welcome to the land of mistery Welcome to the land of secrets This is no ancient story 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 It's really happening now Repeat *(x2) We Are The Future (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 it's time to stop this madness Preventing increasing sadness Let's put end to all this while we can Man against another man How somebody can Judge by the colour of the skin See the signs make up your mind Now it's time for the change It's not too late, now it's time... * Save us, We are the future Lead us, Into the better world Show us, The way to reality No more, Injustice or cruelty Save us, We are the future Lead us, Into the better world Show us, Way to reality injustice is all gone Fast, fast stop this course now Last, last or we won't last Past, stop living in the past or you will die End, end, end of our time Time, our precious time Crime, crime against mankind we have to pay In the course of mad destruction There'll be no coming back The nuclear end in sight Soon there will be no one to fight with Take a look into the sky It may be your last time The complete end in sight Soon there will be no one to fight with me Repeat * (and fade) Tears Of Ice (Tolkki) Tears of ice, falling down My cheeks forming a lake In its surface, I see your face And I watch it til it's 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 drops fall to the ground Forming stream, golden dream That will lead me to your door Repeat * ** Baby you should see What you did to me Now I'm crying tears of ice Baby you should feel Like I felt those days Now I'm crying tears of Ice Repeat ** Dreamspace (Tolkki) I'm looking back through time To my childhood days I used to have a place Where I could escape reality But lately things have been So diffult for me Trying to reach out for the light In the fall of darkness Waiting, watching my life I'm wasting my time I'm losing grip from life Going back to my dreamspace Leave 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 Wondering here in this eternal darkness No signs of light anywhere I am going insane Now I am leaving this life No hope left I want to die Reign Of Terror (Tolkki) What the hell is going on Skyjumpers making music that sell gold There's no talent in this game Haunting for the fame Pubblicity is all you need That's why it feels to me like * The Reign of Terror (x2) Everything cost so much nowadays And individuals vanish in the haze Entertainment for the masses Saving saving for your own asses Rats are leaving sinking ships Still it feels to me like Repeat *(x1) (Spoken) What the hell is going on Everything is upside down Hunting for the fame Terror, terror everywhere Thin Ice (Tolkki/Lassilla) I'm walking on a thin ice Lying paralized Staying there alone Reaching for the unknown In the mirror I see despair In the closet I smell deaht There's needles in my bed I've finally lost my head The Abyss (Tolkki/Lassilla) I'm out on the open sea The wind is embracing me I'm watching the setting sun Far, far away from you There's not much that I could do Do you know what's the only way for me? * Into the depths I fall Into the unknown darkness I go ** Down, down, down Falling into the abyss A morning of no recall No memory, nothing at all The sun is blinding my eyes The pain I feel in my head I think I'll go back to bed Or should I have just one more Repeat * Repeat **(x2) Shattered (Tolkki/Lassilla) I worked so hard to get my aim Pulled out the wrong card Is this my last game? Too fast too soon You know it takes time Hasty deeds spoilt The chances of mine * I'm burning inside Outside seems allright Try not to think about it much It's hard to say When I will play again ** Shattered, shattered My hands are shattered Shattered, shattered My life is shattered I'm dressed to kill And ready to score Third pain pill And there's pain no more I can't break out Out of these walls Walls that sometimes the skull is called Repeat * Repeat ** Wings Of Tomorrow (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 In this trip on the Wings of tomorrow Consider that this world Could be free form all this hatred There would be no borders No laws of anykind Still mankind is falling Planning its ruin everyday But hey we cant still stop This madness togheter Repeat *
