In The Shadows
no sleep,
no sleep until I'm done with finding the answer
won't stop,
won't stop before I find a cure for this cancer
and sometimes I feel like going down and so disconnected
somehow I know that I'm haunted to be wanted
I've been watching,
I've been waiting in the shadows for my time
I've been searching,
I've been living for tomorrows all my life
they say that I must learn to kill before I can feel safe
but I, I'd rather kill myself than turn into their slave
and sometimes I feel like I should go and play with the thunder
'cause somehow I just don't wanna stay and wait for a wonder
lately I've been walking,
walking in circles
Watching,
waiting for something
feel me,
touch me,
heal me,
come take me higher

No Fear
Girl - you lived your life like a
sleeping swan
Your time has come
To go deeper
Girl - the final journey has
just begun
Your destiny
Chose the reaper
No fear
Destination darkness
No fear
Destination darkness
No fear
Girl - the rain falls down from
the northern skies
Like poisoned knives
With no mercy
Girl - close your eyes for
the one last time
Sleepless nights
From here to eternity

Guilty (US mix)
I feel guilty
my words are empty
no signs to give you
I don't have the time for you
you say I'm heartless
and you say I don't care
I used to be there for you
and you've said I seem so dead, that I have changed
but so have you
guilty, guilty I feel so
empty, empty you know how to make me feel
I put a shield upon you
I didn't mean to hurt you
I would have only poisoned your mind
never meant to make you cry
you've been so toughtless
I can see right through you
you used to be there for me
so don't you leave say goodbye
'cause you have changed but so have I
I never though that the time and the distance
between us made you so much colder
I'll carry the world on my shoulders
my words are empty
no signs to give you
I don't have the time for you
you say I'm heartless
and you say I don't care
I used to be there for you
and you've said I seem so dead, that I have changed
but so have you
guilty, guilty I feel so
empty, empty you know how to make me feel
I put a shield upon you
I didn't mean to hurt you

so don't you leave say goodbye
'cause you have changed but so have I
I never though that the time and the distance
between us made you so much colder
I'll carry the world on my shoulders
October & April (featuring Anette Olzon)
She was like April sky
Sunrise in her eyes
Child of light, shining star
Fire in her heart
Brightest day, melting snow
Breaking through the chill
October & April
He was like frozen sky
In October night
Darkest cloud, endless storm
Raining from his heart
Coldest snow, deepest blue
Tearing down his breathe
October & April
Like hate and love
Worlds apart
This fatal love was like poison right from the start
Like light and dark
Worlds apart
This fatal love was like poison right from the start
We were like loaded guns
Sacrificed our lives
We were like love undone
Craving to entwine
Fatal touch
Final thrill
Love was bound to kill
October & April
Chorus
Hate and love
Worlds apart
This fatal love was like poison right from the start
Light and dark
Worlds apart
This fatal love was like poison right from the start
October & April
Sunrise in her eyes
Child of light, shining star
Fire in her heart
Brightest day, melting snow
Breaking through the chill
October & April
He was like frozen sky
In October night

Raining from his heart
Coldest snow, deepest blue
Tearing down his breathe

Like hate and love

This fatal love was like poison right from the start

Sacrificed our lives
We were like love undone
Craving to entwine

First Day Of My Life
feel like I'm stoned,
I wanna be alone,
just for a while unknown
weeks on the road a long way from home,
just shut off the phone
and you say I'll heal you I'll always be yours
and you say I'll kill you if I do something wrong,
yeah, yeah
still feels like the first time
to stand here by your side
together regardless
we'll walk through the darkness
still feels like the first day of my life
remember the times,
together we swore to never give up this life
still hanging on, still going strong, here I belong
and maybe I'm crazy but I just can't slow down
yeah maybe I'm crazy but at least I'm still around,
yeah, yeah
I wanna be alone,
just for a while unknown
weeks on the road a long way from home,
just shut off the phone
and you say I'll heal you I'll always be yours
and you say I'll kill you if I do something wrong,
yeah, yeah
still feels like the first time
to stand here by your side
together regardless
we'll walk through the darkness
still feels like the first day of my life
remember the times,
together we swore to never give up this life
still hanging on, still going strong, here I belong
and maybe I'm crazy but I just can't slow down
yeah maybe I'm crazy but at least I'm still around,
yeah, yeah
Livin' In A World Without You
You told me my darling
Without me you're nothing
You taught me to look in your eyes
And fed me your sweet lies
Suddenly someone was there in the window
Looking outside at a sky that had never been blue
There's a world without you
I see the light
Livin' in a world without you
There is hope to guide me
I will survive
Livin' in a world without you
It's hard to believe that it came to this
You paralyzed my body with a poisoned kiss
For forty days and nights I was chained to your bed
You thought that was the end of the story
Something inside me called freedom came alive
Livin' in a world without you
You put me together
Then trashed me for pleasure
You used me again and again
Abused me, confused me
Suddenly naked I run through your garden
Right through the gates of the past and I'm finally free
Chorus
Without me you're nothing
You taught me to look in your eyes
And fed me your sweet lies
Suddenly someone was there in the window
Looking outside at a sky that had never been blue
There's a world without you

Livin' in a world without you
There is hope to guide me
I will survive
Livin' in a world without you
It's hard to believe that it came to this
You paralyzed my body with a poisoned kiss
For forty days and nights I was chained to your bed
You thought that was the end of the story
Something inside me called freedom came alive
Livin' in a world without you
You put me together
Then trashed me for pleasure
You used me again and again
Abused me, confused me
Suddenly naked I run through your garden
Right through the gates of the past and I'm finally free
Chorus
F-F-F-Falling
I don't go school every monday
I've got my reason to sleep
don't you tell me how I should be
I made up my mind about the music
I made up my mind about the style
I know that I'm stable and able to settle down
but I keep
f-f-f-falling
down with the sun
I can't give it up the night is calling me like a drum
I keep on f-f-f-falling
this life is so full of temptation and I want to keep it that way
I know myself I can handle the game
I made up my mind about the future
I made up my mind about the past
I know that I'm stable and able to hold on
falling
I need a flame, I need a spark
don't be afraid to open my heart
I need a game, I need a shock
don't be afraid my heart is unlocked
I've got my reason to sleep
don't you tell me how I should be
I made up my mind about the music
I made up my mind about the style
I know that I'm stable and able to settle down
but I keep
f-f-f-falling
down with the sun
I can't give it up the night is calling me like a drum
I keep on f-f-f-falling
this life is so full of temptation and I want to keep it that way
I know myself I can handle the game
I made up my mind about the future
I made up my mind about the past
I know that I'm stable and able to hold on
falling
I need a flame, I need a spark
don't be afraid to open my heart
I need a game, I need a shock
don't be afraid my heart is unlocked
Chill
I gotta make a phone call to my best friends
I gotta let them know that I'm leaving
everything behind me and politely I don't wanna hurt their feelings
oh no
I'll need to come back and I wanna explain why I had to leave them sleeping
the answer's in the air but I really don't care 'cos I couldn't really keep on breathing the smoke
and every time when I painted my room
like a fool I hid my feelings
and every time when I painted my room
I thought about leaving
you roll like a stone girl, you should not stop
and I don't wanna step on your feet
and you do what you do to stay on top
and I don't wanna make you feel incomplete
at the end of the day
I don't know what to say
at the end of the day
I'll be flying away
I gotta let them know that I'm leaving
everything behind me and politely I don't wanna hurt their feelings
oh no
I'll need to come back and I wanna explain why I had to leave them sleeping
the answer's in the air but I really don't care 'cos I couldn't really keep on breathing the smoke
and every time when I painted my room
like a fool I hid my feelings
and every time when I painted my room
I thought about leaving
you roll like a stone girl, you should not stop
and I don't wanna step on your feet
and you do what you do to stay on top
and I don't wanna make you feel incomplete
at the end of the day
I don't know what to say
at the end of the day
I'll be flying away
Immortal
Strange signs, crooked signals
Strike down the last aerials
Heaven's bending
Below the world begins
to break
Life's ending
The time has come to escape
Down to the chambers
Drink this blood and
we'll become
Immortal, baby this love
is breaking
The one last bond
We chose the silence
Hatred, cruel violence
We should be ashamed
We had a chance that
we ignored
And now it's too late
The end is knocking on
the door
Ready to claim us
Surrender to my love
Sacrifice your soul
Your picture in the frame
Is faiding like a ghost
Never say goodbye
Never be alone
Never say good night
Never say die
Strike down the last aerials
Heaven's bending
Below the world begins
to break
Life's ending
The time has come to escape
Down to the chambers
Drink this blood and
we'll become
Immortal, baby this love
is breaking
The one last bond
We chose the silence
Hatred, cruel violence
We should be ashamed
We had a chance that
we ignored
And now it's too late
The end is knocking on
the door
Ready to claim us
Surrender to my love
Sacrifice your soul
Your picture in the frame
Is faiding like a ghost
Never say goodbye
Never be alone
Never say good night
Never say die
Justify
So close so far
I'm lost in time
Ready to follow a sign
If there was only a sign
The last goodbye
Burns in my mind
Why did I leave you behind
Guess it was too high to climb
Give me a reason
Why would you want me
To live and die
Living a lie
You were the answer
All that I needed
To justify
Justify my life
Someone as beautiful as you
Could do much better it's true
That didn't matter to you
I tried so hard to be the one
Its something I couldn't do
Guess I was under the gun
Chorus
It's only right
That I should go
And find myself
Before I go and ruin
Someone else
So close so far
I'm lost in time
Ready to follow a sign
If there was only a sign
Chorus
It's only right
That I should go
And find myself
Before I go and ruin
Someone else
I'm lost in time
Ready to follow a sign
If there was only a sign
The last goodbye
Burns in my mind
Why did I leave you behind
Guess it was too high to climb
Give me a reason
Why would you want me
To live and die
Living a lie
You were the answer
All that I needed
To justify
Justify my life
Someone as beautiful as you
Could do much better it's true
That didn't matter to you

It's only right

And find myself
Before I go and ruin
Someone else
So close so far
I'm lost in time
Ready to follow a sign
If there was only a sign
Chorus
It's only right
That I should go
And find myself
Before I go and ruin
Someone else
Shot
Tonight we escape
Just you and me
We'll find our peace
Somewhere across the seas
Enough of the fright
Enough of the fuss
I'll be awake if he finds us
Needless to say
I'll stand in your way
I will protect you and I'll...
I'll take the shot, for you
I'll be the shield for you
Needless to say,
I'll stand in your way
I'll take the shot, for you
I'll give my life, for you
I'll make it stop
I'll take the shot for you
Tonight we'll be free
I'll find us a home
Tonight we will be
Finally on our own
Enough of the hell
Enough of the pain
I won't let him touch you,
I love you
Needless to say
I'll stand in your way
I will defend you and I'll...
Enough of the scars
Enough broken hearts
I will protect you and I'll...
Just you and me
We'll find our peace
Somewhere across the seas
Enough of the fright
Enough of the fuss
I'll be awake if he finds us
Needless to say
I'll stand in your way
I will protect you and I'll...
I'll take the shot, for you
I'll be the shield for you
Needless to say,
I'll stand in your way
I'll take the shot, for you
I'll give my life, for you
I'll make it stop
I'll take the shot for you

Tonight we will be
Finally on our own

Enough of the pain
I won't let him touch you,
I love you
Needless to say
I'll stand in your way
I will defend you and I'll...
Enough of the scars
Enough broken hearts
I will protect you and I'll...
Funeral Song
I dumped you again
I don't understand
it's happened before
can't take it no more
these foolish games
always end up in confusion
I'll take you back
just to leave you once again
I died in my dreams
what's that supposed to mean?
got lost in the fire
I died in my dreams
reaching out for your hand
my fatal desire
I've failed you again
'cause I let you stay
I used to pretend
that I felt ok
just one big lie
such a perfect illusion
I made you mine
just to hurt you once again
I don't understand
it's happened before
can't take it no more
these foolish games
always end up in confusion
I'll take you back
just to leave you once again
I died in my dreams
what's that supposed to mean?
got lost in the fire
I died in my dreams
reaching out for your hand
my fatal desire
I've failed you again
'cause I let you stay
I used to pretend
that I felt ok
just one big lie
such a perfect illusion
I made you mine
just to hurt you once again
Ghost Of Love
I am near you
You don't see me
Can you feel me
I'm closer than close
Does it hurt
Does it burn
Do you know
What you've lost
Are you scared of the dark
Now that you're gone
All that remains
Is the ghost of love
Deep in my mind
I hear the chains
Of the ghost of love
You are falling
Down underneath
You'll be crawling
Lower than low
Can you sleep
Can you breathe
When you know
What you've done
Tell me where will you run
Chorus
You were flawless
Cruel and thoughtless
And all that you left me
Is the Ghost of love
I'm fading
I'm barley breathing
Can't hold on
I'm dying
I must be bleeding
Won't be long
Chorus
You don't see me
Can you feel me
I'm closer than close
Does it hurt
Does it burn
Do you know
What you've lost
Are you scared of the dark
Now that you're gone
All that remains
Is the ghost of love
Deep in my mind
I hear the chains
Of the ghost of love
You are falling
Down underneath
You'll be crawling
Lower than low
Can you sleep
Can you breathe
When you know
What you've done
Tell me where will you run
Chorus
You were flawless
Cruel and thoughtless
And all that you left me
Is the Ghost of love
I'm fading
I'm barley breathing
Can't hold on
I'm dying
I must be bleeding
Won't be long
Chorus
Open My Eyes (acoustic version)
Fear is like a tree
That grows inside of me silently
And you could be my blood
And be a part of me secretly
I've lost a war
I've lost a fight
I've killed a man
Wasted a life
Open my eyes, let me see you
And blow this blinding darkness away
Open my eyes, let me find you
Give me a sign
Hate is like a ghost
That lives inside of me, I plead
For you to be my guide
To be the feeder of my need
Take my word and fold me in
Free the soul behind the sin
The endless dark will be the death of my senses
Take my heart and hold it in
Kill the beast under my skin
The endless dark will be the death of my senses
That grows inside of me silently
And you could be my blood
And be a part of me secretly
I've lost a war
I've lost a fight
I've killed a man
Wasted a life
Open my eyes, let me see you
And blow this blinding darkness away
Open my eyes, let me find you
Give me a sign
Hate is like a ghost
That lives inside of me, I plead
For you to be my guide
To be the feeder of my need
Take my word and fold me in
Free the soul behind the sin
The endless dark will be the death of my senses
Take my heart and hold it in
Kill the beast under my skin
The endless dark will be the death of my senses
In My Life
feel the heat below my feet
I have to go no time to sleep
can't believe the things you say
turn my head and walk away
you make me sick you make me nervous
times are gone when you would say
this is the one and seize the day
times has gone for honesty
"my victory is your defeat"
oh can't you see you've been mistaken
in my life I decide and it turns me on
how I am, how I live, who I love
in my way I feel strong
and it turns me on
in my life, I decide, I decide
all you do,
you can't deny it
it's waste of time,
waste of life
can I suggest that you invest in something more
than hopelessness
before you know, the ride is over
it's up to you if you give it up, give it up
it's up to you if you won't stop
the record shows that you dead but you're still living
every time you have died you have been given
another chance to fix your bad attitude
and make a move, it's up to you
I have to go no time to sleep
can't believe the things you say
turn my head and walk away
you make me sick you make me nervous
times are gone when you would say
this is the one and seize the day
times has gone for honesty
"my victory is your defeat"
oh can't you see you've been mistaken
in my life I decide and it turns me on
how I am, how I live, who I love
in my way I feel strong
and it turns me on
in my life, I decide, I decide
all you do,
you can't deny it
it's waste of time,
waste of life
can I suggest that you invest in something more
than hopelessness
before you know, the ride is over
it's up to you if you give it up, give it up
it's up to you if you won't stop
the record shows that you dead but you're still living
every time you have died you have been given
another chance to fix your bad attitude
and make a move, it's up to you
Ten Black Roses
Life is like a boat in a bottle
Try to sail you can't with no air
Day by day it only gets harder
Try to scream but nobody cares
Through the glass you see the same faces
Hear their voices fade like a drone
When your life's a boat in a bottle
You're surrounded drifting alone
Don't leave me now
Stay another day
With me
When you're sad
And no one knows it
I'll send you
Black roses
When your heart's
Dark and frozen
I will send you
Black roses
Far away we wait for each other
I'm still on that road to nowhere
Kiss yourself for me in the mirror
Tie a black rose into your hair
Don't lose your faith
Share another night
With me
Chorus
Ten black roses
Ten black roses
Your life is like a boat in the bottle
Try to sail you can't with no air
Day by day it only gets harder
Try to scream but nobody cares
Chorus
Try to sail you can't with no air
Day by day it only gets harder
Try to scream but nobody cares
Through the glass you see the same faces
Hear their voices fade like a drone
When your life's a boat in a bottle
You're surrounded drifting alone
Don't leave me now
Stay another day
With me
When you're sad
And no one knows it
I'll send you
Black roses
When your heart's
Dark and frozen
I will send you
Black roses
Far away we wait for each other
I'm still on that road to nowhere
Kiss yourself for me in the mirror
Tie a black rose into your hair
Don't lose your faith
Share another night

Your life is like a boat in the bottle
Try to sail you can't with no air
Day by day it only gets harder
Try to scream but nobody cares

Sail Away
Once upon a time
We had a lot to fight for
We had a dream, we ha a plan
Sparks in the air
We spread a lot of envy
Didn't have to care
Once upon a time
Remember when I swore
My love is never ending
And you and I will never die
Remember when I swore
We had it all
We had it all
I'll sail away
It's time to leave
Rainy days are yours to keep
I'll fade away
The night is calling my name
You will stay
I'll sail away
Once upon a time
We used to burn candles
We had a place to call a home
The dream that we lived
Was better than divine
Everyday was like a gift
Once upon a time
Remember when you swore
Your love is never ending
And you and I will never die
Remember when you swore
We had it all
We'd never fall
I'll sail away
It's time to leave
Rainy days are yours to keep
I'll fade away
The twilight's calling my name
You will stay
I'll sail away
No reason to lie, no need to pretend
I'm grateful to die
to live once again
I'm fearless to fly
and reach for the end
And reach for the end
We had a lot to fight for
We had a dream, we ha a plan
Sparks in the air
We spread a lot of envy
Didn't have to care
Once upon a time
Remember when I swore
My love is never ending
And you and I will never die
Remember when I swore
We had it all
We had it all
I'll sail away
It's time to leave
Rainy days are yours to keep
I'll fade away
The night is calling my name
You will stay
I'll sail away
Once upon a time
We used to burn candles
We had a place to call a home
The dream that we lived
Was better than divine
Everyday was like a gift
Once upon a time
Remember when you swore
Your love is never ending
And you and I will never die
Remember when you swore
We had it all
We'd never fall
I'll sail away
It's time to leave
Rainy days are yours to keep
I'll fade away
The twilight's calling my name
You will stay
I'll sail away
No reason to lie, no need to pretend
I'm grateful to die
to live once again
I'm fearless to fly
and reach for the end
And reach for the end
