Father Time Will The Sun Rise? Eternity Speed Of Light Uncertainty Season Of Change Babylon Tomorrow Night Time Eclipse Forever Fahter Time (Tolkki/Kotipelto/Johnson) Walking down the path that leads me to my memories Pacing all the way without a care in my stride Where are all the friends of my yesterday? Have they moved on with their lives? Can we still laugh and joke about the things like before? There's no need to hide the past that I have left behind It's a good resource somewhere for me to find Why am I wating for someone to reach out It shouldn't be up all to them? Keeping in touch ain't easy but I'll have to try * Where are all the years gone That's what I am asking now What have I learned so far Tell me father time, tell me now Now I understand I'll take from time what I need And I store it inside it's there for me to find I can't deny that the years will pass by But it won't bother me Cause now I will ster out to realize my dream Repeat * (x2) Will The Sun Rise? (Tolkki/Kotipelto) Throwing my dreams out of my mind Casting them into the sky Canceling tasks I've delayed for so long Now it's do or die * I can't be seen, I can't be heard But I'm here and I'm 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 about the future at all At the end of each day I promise myself I'd better start to live Cause sooner or later I'll find out There's so muche I can give Repeat * Repeat ** Eternity (Tolkki/Kotipelto) When clouds are covering the sky I can't help thinking what's behind In a fading evening I can feel strange thoughs in my minds What if we aren't alone here There's a clone of everyone, somewhere That duplicates all that we do Not like me, not like you But our other ego * There ain't no wars or crises Only joy and compromises Time has stood still ** Why don't you take me there Wanna feel some infinity Why don't we just dare 'Cause 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 Repeat * Repeat ** Speed Of Light (Tolkki/Kotipelto) Today it's just another 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 * I'm away lost in my thoughts Everyday my life goes by At the speed of light Repeat * Uncertainty (Kotipelto) Learning by trying it's hard to deny it While paying for what I used to know Dreams are deceiving until I'm achieving The goals I haven't set too law * 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 they're all just repeating The same old lies so nice to clutch Repeat * (x2) Season Of Change (Tolkki) Season of change life feels so strange Look into my eyes do you see the truth? I'm lost and alone feelings unknown They 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 may years I wasted for nothing I never realized The truth is inside Of every man for all to see Listen to me now I'm so close to you Never felt like this before The carousel is spinning fast Better enjoy while it lasts Every moment is like gold You'll remember when you're old And the meaning of this life Is to live and is to die Make the best out of your dreams They are the world were you are free All the sorrow and the pain Will be whashed away by rain An eternal joy will come It can be found by everyone Though the end is drawing near I'm not feeling any fear I have found the truth inside After all the tears I cry Season Of Change... Babylon (Tolkki) A new day is rising in ancient Babylon Revealing misteries to see And the endless caravan never ending its journey with the wings of the wind I will fly * I can hear you calling me I'm blind but I see ** Babylon Your memory haunts me forever It won't leave me be Babylon Your glory's 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 Repeat * Repeat ** And underneath the starlit sky I feel so strong I'll never die I'm on this road to eternity My soul will live forever Repeat ** Tomorrow (Tolkki/Johnson) Staring out the window Wondering will I soon know The answers to the questions within Where should I begin? Delusioned by a clear winter night While trying to find some insight The solution is close at hand Yet still so far away * I'll turn the tables 'round to find another way I'll leave all this behind and move on today ** I will take things as they come Look out for number one And I'll be back tomorrow Feeling strong and brave inside My head up high with pride Yes I'll be back tomorrow I'm facing my nightmares again Determined that I won't bend The answers are coming to me I'm learning how to believe I know now that this is the way I found my red letter day I've been there out on a limb But now I've finally come in Repeat * Repeat ** (x2) Night Time Eclipse (Tolkki/Kotipelto) If I could stay awake for awhile I would see another morning Don't 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 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 shouldn't stay awake If I fall asleep they just might find me Now is all so clear I can finally proceed Repeat * Repeat ** Waiting for the dawn Soon to arrive So few options that I have And I can use Life's circumstances can be so cruel If I take the chance I just might Make the wrong move Forever (Tolkki) I stand alone in the darkness The winter of my life cames so fast Memories go back to 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 * I'm still there everywhere I'm the dust in the wind I'm the star in the northern sky I never stayed anywhere I'm the wind in the trees Could you wait for me... Forever? * Repeat (x2 and fade)
