    This song has often been our live set opener. It actually kick starts our gigs in a most energetic way.
    Vic had wrote the lyrics inspired by Orwells 1984, but had no real idea on the music yet. Per looked at the lyrics and played the familiar a-riff that still is the trademark of the song. The whole tune just came alive in 20 minutes and we instantly knew we had a killer song.

What is this cold dark room? Why can't they let me out? I can't see any resource All I see is bars and bricks around my head Do you think that they would hear my scream? Do you think they would wash my face? There's nothing special with me There's nothing special at all (repeat 1st verse) CHORUS: There's no use to resist Unless you're flying high So all I have is lust So all I have is lust for a prayer What's life and what's it for? Live your life you will never get more And after this what is to come? And what is 101? CHORUS CHORUS I've always believed the words you said But I was never convinced I had to know if it was true But now your lies bends out in my brain I run around with screams of pain Was it worth all the weeping sorrows? So what the hell am I crying for? CHORUS*2

Faith 05:10
Remember how to live in the dark Still remember snowflakes in my throat I was dragged in, who dragged me out? How was I supposed to get it through? CHORUS: I can still wake up frightened Afraid of going back God I'm so glad it's over Who has the faith in me? I thought I had the size of the ocean I didn't know I was just a pond I took the keys, I took the truth Just for going down and watch Lucifer smile CHORUS And the light was guarding me Through the gates so open and wide for me I could watch the flowers, I could watch the sun These things that has been held from me, so blind And I looked at my shadow who lived in vain I tore it apart, I threw it away Finally I could reach the dawn Finally I could seize the day, but CHORUS These days were covered in black Black curtains of suicide As I thought my time was over I saw the eyes of faith

Nazgul 05:40
"One ring to rule them all One ring to find them One ring to bring them all And in the darkness bind them In the land of Mordor Where the shadows lie" They were once nine kings with power in their hands But they hungered too much, too far, too loud So the dark lord heard their crying for more lands More lands to reign, their vanity took their pride They should have listened to the voices in their minds You can get no power by being other's slaves Now they'll hear him laughing as they're fading away He took their minds, their hope, their hearts, their souls Now they're after a little man from the north who didn't know The power and the magic in a little ring which he keeps Guided by Sauron they gathered at the ford, they said: "Give us the ring and come with us to Mordor" "I will give you nothing", he replies "I will give you nothing", he replies Hide, rise Hide, hide, rise, rise! In the land of death you can be no king Now they're just false replicas of what they once were They say eternal life, I say eternal pain The sound of death and pain is in their cries So now the nine riders are making the dark lord's will They have forgotten their names, just oblivion in their minds They are addicted to him, they are addicted to his ring Their only vulnerability is reaching their home The little man is carrying their lives in his hands The face of Angmar doesn't fear this man on his way He's approaching the Mount Doom to throw it away, down there In Orodruin's fire they remember his words "I will give you nothing", he replies "I will give you nothing", he replies "I will give you nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing", he cries "I will never ever give you anything", he cries

White Zombie 05:13
I don't believe a word you say It will carry me towards a rising hell I see no future there All I see is faces that is laughing at me So take this picture And throw it away in the wind So you can leave me here With the vulture's all around CHORUS: Feelings of love and hate Feelings that I can't relate Should I cry or should I die? Kill the day, kill the night Will I never ever do something right? I'm stuck in here with my nightmare Everything was happening so fast Though it seems like 15 years You came in front of me But I never thought you came from the dead Leave me and take those eyes Away from me, away from all my tears So act like you used to do A living cold machine from hell CHORUS Calling the white zombie Kissing the white zombie Loving the white zombie So love, ooh love it CHORUS It's not against me and you It's just the fear in bloom The jealousy's blood killed our lives The lies you made will never fade Vengeance's not a too easy word To explain what we had or caused our death Hit by the white zombie Raped by the white zombie So kill the white zombie So kill, kill it now, and kill before it kills you Kill it now because you couldn't hurt me more Kill...

Assumptions 04:46
Wake up from the past A time to leave, to celebrate Watch the cold blue sky As you touched the rain You touched your pain What is this quiet noise? That ravage my soul My mind is on parole Due to circumstance You can buy a throne But you can't reign it alone CHORUS: As we're moving forever We are moving together And you'll find my person is there, forever We don't have to endeavor Come on touch the sun You can't embrace my heart With that iron fist So tell me who are you? The failures you make Is the failures I'll take Just put everything down But don't expect that I'll be there When you wake up You build a wall full of pride You do it your way I'll do it my way CHORUS*2

Illusions 04:36
I hail them again "my friends" The brothers and sisters of my life They're black, so dark and white, my light They're playing on the razor's edge So guide me to the paradise This compulsion makes me feel like hell Makes me feel like hell CHORUS: It's a long, long way to live that life It's a long, long time to suffer, my love I feel, I think and I have feelings I can also cry You see, I can Or is this just illusions for me, for you Or for them... I listen to the radio But I can just read the papers It's the same so I say Fighting for peace Is like fucking for virginity Like fucking for virginity! CHORUS Why do they have to steal our love? Why do they have to steal our lives? Why do they have to steal our friends? It's for nothing like all the rest After a while what have I got Nothing they just kicked me out After a while what have we got Nothing they just kicked us, kicked us out

Pictures of grey, they fade in black I'm running through the flowers of dust The breathing walls comes like snow I thought it was you, or was it just a picture? I'm falling again, I'm falling to the last chamber So here it is these walls of glass To release our sins, I'm riding on Try to find the passage back to you Why am I alone again? I see that there's no time to ask you why I'm stranded nine miles from home Can't find it Remembering how they always told you, have some fun But I could not feel, maybe I just carried on So don't walk with me, feel the pain that tears inside you Let the engine blow and don't look sideways It makes me vomit So I try to breathe just one more time I see the raven's landing now These pictures they are calling for death I'm waiting for the sun to appear To show the world how it really looks I'm stranded nine miles from home Home From Home Home I try to breathe just one more time I see the raven's landing now These pictures they are calling for death I'm waiting for the sun to appear To show the world how it really looks I'm stranded nine miles from home

Listen to the sound in your head And try to understand what it has to tell Listen and fight for your fears It's just another bad day as the ugly face appears Walking all alone in the dark The cold begins to break another statue in the park I'm walking, I'm walking to a brighter day 'Cos I can't stand to know that it was just in vain Mother, please listen to me now I hope you'll understand, 'cos I am half of you Oh mother!, where is my other half Yes I know I wouldn't listen, I didn't want to know I'm feeling a calling for me But I don't know if it's a calling for help I'm feeling the ambition to be free Free from all the questions that's been tearing me apart When I close my eyes The train begins to move When the lights go out The smoke begins to flow over me On me When I close my eyes The angel starts to call When the lights go out The abyss is opening wide for me For me Dreaming of gold and green woods Where I can live with pleasure and enjoy the dawn I'm dreaming of a life that I'm free Free from all the fightings, and free from compulsion I'm dreaming, I'm dreaming I'm dreaming to be free, I'm dreaming for me I'm happy, I'm happy, I'm happy I'm happy to know that this is what I want to be I'll be there, I'll be there, I'll be there, I'll be there Expect me to be there, 'cos I'll be there I'll be there, I'll be there, I'll be there, I'll be there Expect me to be there, 'cos I'll be there Here I am alone again on second floor With my own, my own sweet vendetta Are you coming with me? Are you coming with me? Are you coming with me? Will you follow me...?

It's dark outside, it's dark in my mind Where's the light I used to find? Once I was riding on the clouds But now I'm miles from the sun I am miles from the sun I'm out again, I try to find the way back home again Too many questions, but no answers When all I want is to be free from all the tears I keep inside, I'm drowning in Be free from all the pain That tears me apart Like an earthquake inside Turn back now I see a face, I see a light I see the damage to come What am I supposed to do? When everything Goes round and round my head I'm not to blame for all the fear The dying seer You see I have to take another way Out of my mind Turn back now I don't need no sympathy I don't need no charity I know it's all up to me If I will see the dawn I'm back in time to live again I'm back to the scene of the crime What am I supposed to do When everything goes round and round Be free from all the tears I keep inside, I'm drowning in Be free, don't need to fly There's no use to cry Fight the pain Turn back now Turn back now NO!! Turn back now Before I'm fading away

Watch those faces that they brought to you It's all the same behind their masks Everybody has a place to go So don't disturb my own destination All those years I went from Institution to institution They'll never see me wear the mask Never get cheated by the hollow smiles CHORUS: Those familiar pictures appear in silence With their leering eyes and their hollow smiles I wonder what it might have been If I just once would let them through If I would let them through! As I went to watch the flowers grow The words are still ringing in my ears "Follow the leaders, don't mind your own track" I can't believe it, I won't do like the masses CHORUS But watch out Beware CHORUS

The Oblivion 04:17
She sits in a room, tries to remember What to do next for pleasure and pain It hurts so bad to think about The day he left her in the rain In the rain, rain, rain CHORUS: One day, one day, one day oblivion The weight/wait is gone One day, one day, dawn of oblivion She will find herself in distance When it's done Her finger's on the pot, don't open it It can't help you from this pain But understand these words he said "You can't get everything and use it all" Now listen girl, don't try this way It's something you just got to understand CHORUS She sits in a room, tries to remember What to do next for pleasure and pain It hurts so bad to think about The day he left her in the rain No don't lose your mind CHORUS (repeat)
12.
Ikaros 94 03:53
Search for a better day Search for some action I know the joy, the satisfaction Yes I know it's too damn cold And everybody wants to see How it looks up above Don't get too close to me CHORUS: It was fun to be so high Just like you I tried to fly Fly, so high Don't get burned You see, I am no hunter I am just patient I know to feel the excitement Escaping from the prison, earth Escaping from your anger They helped to give you wings But not to be a survivor CHORUS Fly, so high Don't get burned CHORUS But just one day we flew too high We had got far, far too close to sun And our golden wings they melt I didn't know that I was just like you Ikaros, look I'll come to you Ikaros, look what they brought me to

My Vision 05:24
Wrestling with the thoughts of love, what happiness depended on I couldn’t get you on the phone, you know, I had to know Smiling to the statues which they brought for right and justice I just don’t want to think about which time I’m falling for No, my vision I don’t know Why should I hurt you when I love you more than ever I can’t control the feelings that flows in my mind Reaching for the highway where I’ll meet the final ending I don’t dare too much for the very last reality CHORUS: Always in my vision I am so alone Always in my vision I love you so Always in my vision looking through the glass Always in my vision No, my vision No, the vision Take a seat behind the bridge and watch them passing over I only wish I had my mind in better hands I don’t know if you forgive me even if I don’t forgive you I am looking for another life for me, cause CHORUS No, the vision Nooooo I don’t know CHORUS*2
