Echoes Of Tragedy – Rhapsody of Fire
Where sun creates shadow's games
where tragic echoes speak of death why Lord
why
between the ruins through lakes of holy blood
I walk in tears for my wasted land
Echoes of tragedy carved on my steel
in this neverending fight against the beast
soldiers of twilight turn back to hell
burn in your fire or glory for me will be your end
Mothers and children embraced in blood
torture and rape will leave their sign
after the sorrow I call the holy rage
burn in my heart now flames of blind hate
Echoes of tragedy carved on my steel
in this neverending fight against the beast
soldiers of twilight turn back to hell
burn in your fire or glory for me will be your end
The Magic Of The Wizard's Dream (Italian
Version) – Rhapsody of Fire
[Iras:]
Nella grigia oscurita'
io la trovero'
stella amata senza eta'
verso luna e sol
Rivelami la via
tra leggenda e mito
sacra immensita'
contro l'antico mal
Pianto or lava il mio rancor
[CHOIR]
FIAMMA ETERNA
FIERA ARDI NEL MIO CUOR
ASTRO CELESTE
CHE RISPLENDI DI DIVINO AMOR
Oltre il fiume d'anime
mistica realta'
nell' etereo cosmico
vago con pieta'
Rivelami la via
tra leggenda e mito
sacra immensita'
contro l'antico mal
Pianto or lava il mio rancor
[CHOIR]
Emerald Sword – Rhapsody of Fire
[Turilli]
Crossed the valleys the dust of midlands
to search for the third key to open the gates
Now I'm near the altar the secret inside
as legend told my beloved sun light the dragons
eyes
On the way to the glory I'll honour my sword
to serve right ideals and justice for all
Finally happened the sun lit their eyes
the spell was creating strange games of light
Thanks to hidden mirrors I found my lost way
over the stones I reached the place it was a secret
cave
In a long bloody battle that prophecies told
the light will prevail hence wisdom is gold
For the king for the land for the mountains
For the green valleys where dragons fly
For the glory the power to win the black lord
I will search for the emerald sword
Only a warrior with a clear heart
could have the honour to be kissed by the sun
Yes, I'm that warrior I followed my way
led by the force of cosmic soul I can reach the
sword
On the way th the glory I'll honour my sword
to serve right ideals and justice for all
For the king for the land for the mountains
For the green valleys where dragons fly
For the glory the power to win the black lord
I will search for the emerald sword
Black Diamond - Stratovarius
[Music:Tolkki/Lyrics:Kotipelto]
Again I see you standing there watching me.
Your gaze, those eyes are tantalizing openly,
inviting me to get close to you,
can't help myself.
There's fascination in the air.
I try to fight this strong sensation but there's no
chance to escape
from this temptation.
Feels like I've known you before, repeating
phrases,
but I yearn for something more.
I know I can't stay by your side forever,
but I know I won't forget your beauty,
my Black Diamond.
 Lamento Eroico – Rhapsody of Fire
Langue in me l'eco infranto
al truce sguardo dell'angelo cieco
rovina in me l'antica rima
nel cuor del cigno ferito e morente...
Cosmi di eternita' tradita
di verita' svanite che ora versano
lacrime d'addio in un vuoto nero...
sincero e fiero al mio destino andro'...
URLA IL TUONO
AL MIO LAMENTO EROICO
SORTE... CONSUMA LA REALTA'!
Spiriti di mondi arcani
chiedo la vita al di la' della morte
per allinear le stelle amiche
e diventar guardiano celeste
Custode di eternita' guarita
di verita' trovate per tutti i figli di madre terra...
sempre a lei ho dato la vita... la morte...
cosi' continuero'!
URLA IL TUONO
AL MIO LAMENTO EROICO
SORTE... CONSUMA LA REALTA'!
Forever -Stratovarius
[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
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
would you wait for me forever ?
Son Of Pain – Rhapsody of Fire
[Dargor:]
While I crossed the mountains' side
I recalled a memory
days of anguish nights of pain
your voice lives on trapped inside my mind
eternally
Those wise last words fade in my soul
"You had the choice, you chose the light
find your way darklands' son
spread your wings then your heart will fly"
Thank you, angels
I am now reborn
this may be my last breath
and my final day
I'M THE SON OF PAIN
WELCOME MY NEW FATE
Hell's lost flame was life for me
in that moment I felt free
I was under an evil spell
so now I want just to live again
to live again
I am proud, proud to lead my soul
to new horizons, to the golden sky
"find your way my brave darklands' son
wizards, kings, elves and trolls"
Thank you, angels
I am now reborn
this may be my last breath
and my final day
I'M THE SON OF PAIN
WELCOME MY NEW FATE
THUNDER GODS I PRAY
I DENY HELL'S FLAMES
Before The Winter - Stratovarius
[Music:Tolkki/Lyrics:Tolkki]
Before the summer turns to winter, before the
dreams will turn to snow.
I see the yellow leaves are falling and soon I
know I have to go.
But I'll be back before the summer, next year
you're in my arms again.
The winter breeze will send my message, it will
keep you warm until then.
The path to home is long and winding.
I'll keep the flame alive for you until I am back.
You and I will walk that road together,
I'll show that all the dreams are true
if you only let them be before the winter.Il Canto
Del Vento – Rhapsody of Fire
Ascolto ancora il vento
che in disparte mi accarezza
dimenticato pianto
prigioniero della sera
Pianto, dimenticato pianto
prigioniero della sera
un respiro sempre acceso
seguo e cerco lentamente
nel sospiro del destino
VIVO PER TE, SOGNO DI TE
CANTO DI TE
NEL CIELO INCASTRATA
TIMIDA STELLA MORENTE
Di canzoni dimenticate
dai tuoi occhi gia' vissute
ora vivo e mi consolo... vivo...
Il mio tempo, nelle mani
nel tuo viso il mio tormento
il silenzio, il mio domani
ancorato ad un momento
VIVO PER TE, SOGNO DI TE
CANTO DI TE
NEL CIELO INCASTRATA
TIMIDA STELLA MORENTE
Vissuti dolcemente
sogni di un' eterna notte
ora bruciano traditi
dalle nostre memorie
Lacrime, lacrime di rabbia
nel mio cuore sempre accese
parlano, parlano le onde
di un porto ormai svanito
VIVO PER TE, SOGNO DI TE
CANTO DI TE
NEL CIELO INCASTRATA
TIMIDA STELLA MORENTE
Silent Dream – Rhapsody of Fire
The silent storm in my heartbeat
is raging at the questions of soul
no way back, rising darkness
blind angel in a night without stars
Lost in the silent dream
of a lonely broken love
The fall of hope, of illusion
is hidden there behind the wild rocks
to reach the sun, warm my feelings
I'll rise where only eagles can fly
Lost in the silent dream
of a lonely broken love
FLY, FLY HIGH
ENLIGHT MY HEART AND MY EYES
BRING HOPE WITH YOUR HOLY SUNLIGHT
THE ANGELS' FIRE
The silent storm in my heartbeat
is raging the questions of soul
no way back, rising darkness
blind angel in a night without stars
Lost in the silent dream
of a lonely broken love
FLY, FLY HIGH
ENLIGHT MY HEART AND MY EYES
BRING HOPE WITH YOUR HOLY SUNLIGHT
THE ANGELS' FIRE
I'LL BELIEVE
IN WHAT THE WIND BRINGS TO ME
IN PURE LOVE AND GREAT EMOTION
I WILL BELIEVE
Lost In Cold Dreams – Rhapsody of Fire In cold dreams i'm lost
I'm lost...
Shy nameless whisper
I'm lost...
Ghost veiled of fading shade
Your gentle presence Coming Home - Stratovarius
I feel on me your hand [Music:Tolkki/Lyrics:Tolkki]
Revealing sorrow
I wake up in the morning so far away from home,
The pain of times now gone
trying to make it through the day.
Innocence bleeding
Many miles are between us, I'm sending my love
A never answered call
from this payphone.
Feel me, tell me Through the storms we've wandered, many
Take my hand and fly mountains we have climbed
In the shadows but all the bad times are behind.
Where your hopes are lying The road is free -
Where your stolen beauty I'm coming Home.
Forever cries Without you I am like a ship without it's sails,
calling the wind to save me.
[Chorus:]
I'd climb the highest mountain,
The cry of heaven
I'd cross the seven seas just to see your smile
The tears of angels
again.
A tragic destiny unfolds
All the trust that was built along the years is
Breathe in my essence coming back to stay I know.
Of raining stardust Just look ahead the road is free -
I'll heal your wounds I'm coming Home.
Beloved pure soul With every step I'm closer to home, when I'm
In cold dreams back you won't be alone.
Soon I'll see the familiar door before my eyes and
grey storming oceans
you.
Winds blowing all their rage
Clack clouds arising
Years Go By - Stratovarius
And then just fear and hate
[Tolkki]
Dear little sister
They took your joyful smile Look around do you see
Lady of winter So many things have changed
Grant her a ray of light And you should know by now
I never meant to hurt you at all
Feel me, tell me
All my life I have been an outcast
Take my hand and fly
But now I've been reborn
In the shadows
And I see things so clear
Where your hopes are lying
Where your stolen beauty
Open your eyes and realize
Forever cries
Hard times are over if you want
[Chorus:] Open your mind
The cry of heaven Reach for the stars
The tears of angels Answer is there for us to find
A tragic destiny unfolds
Years go by
Breathe in my essence
Never know when it's too late
Of raining stardust
Years go by
I'll heal your wounds
Yourself you seal your fate
Beloved pure soul
Don't look the answer from horizon
In cold dreams
It's closer than you think
[Solo] Years go by, oh how they go by
[Chorus:]
In cold dreams i'm lost
In cold dreams i'm lost
 Dream With Me - Stratovarius
[another japanese bonus]
Now it is thome for you to close your eyes
They've seen much pain it's slowly filling your
mind
Pretty as they are but now so pale
You better leave all your worries far behind
Not long ago when you had the Fire
Burning inside of you brighter than any flame
You were the one that I believed in
Keeping our hopes up high where are you now?
Where do you aim?
Let mr take you there
To the place you know
Why don't you Dream With Me
The answers will be found
No it is time to open your eyes again
See how the sorrows have disappeared faded
away
I am right here waiting for your pace
Through the day
Let me take...
If The Story Is Over - Stratovaris
[Kotipelto/Liimatainen/Liimatainen]
Once upon a time I was the scribe of all my
dreams
I‟ve seen the years turn into dust, now feel the
rust in me
I‟ve walked the shores of Avalon, I‟ve seen the
seasons change
I‟ve laughed and cried, I‟ve lived and died, but
only on the page
Now all I have, all I am
All I ever was is here, on the page
It‟s all the same, it never mattered anyway
It‟s all a lie so let it burn
All empty words and all rhymes will fade
As the light of last candle flickers away
If the story is over, this chapter my last
Let it be my best one, let it be my own
I hope it‟s not too late to learn to live and learn to
love
I yearn to fight, to turn the tide before the tender
dark
For I never drew the sword from stone, there‟s no
Helen in my Troy
I stand alone, I stand forgotten, just gazing into
the void
Come night, test my will, test my soul
Test my faith and test my heart, torn apart
Make me strong, make me whole again and
Guide through the dark „til the morning comes
All empty words and all rhymes will fade
As the light of last candle flickers away
If the story is over, this chapter my last
Let it be my best one, let it be my own
What Can I Say - Stratovarius
Sometimes it's not that easy finding all the words
For how I feel when you are near
The more we are together makes me realize
All I ever wanted is you
[CHOIR]
What can I say?
You make all my dreams come true
And every day I want you right here by my side
To take my hand and hold me tight
I never want to be alone again
Oh my love
The days are shorter now
I'm reaching for some light
And I find it in your eyes
Brighter than the sun it filled me up with love
Don't ever close them for me
[CHOIR]
Oh my love
Yes I know baby
It takes a world to keep what we have
And not let go
I was lonely
Before I met you
But you wiped away all the sorrow
[CHOIR] X2
Oh my love
 Into The Blue – Cain‟s Offering
Once long ago I was young and naive
I dared to hope and I dared to dream
Once long ago lights were brighter for me
This world was mine to keep
I traveled so far defying the dawn
Just to see where this road leads
My foolish hunt, unbroken unscarred was whole
...and then there was you.
Once long a go I felt lost without you
And life had lift me high and dry
Once long ago didn't know what to do
Alone inside my mind
So far away, from where I'm today
No one could reach my heart
Until the day my darkness fade away
And into the blue
Out of the darkness and into the blue
Still broken and scarred but I'm over you
For every scar and every tear that falls
Means I'm healing
Where are you now, are you thinking of me?
When you look in the mirror, what do you see?
The burden you bear and the secret you keep
Reminding you endlessly
I've been broken for a while
But I'm not missing you
Out of the darkness and into the blue
Still broken and scarred, but I'm over you
For every scar and every tear that falls
Means I'm healing
Out of the darkness; into the blue
where you don't want me and I don't need you
Thou I'm down and thou I'm torn apart
I'm still breathing
Out of the darkness and into the blue
where you don't want me and I don't need you
Thou I'm down and thou I'm torn apart
My heart's beating
Taivas Lyö Tulta - Teräsbetoni
Katseet ylös luokaa veljet, aika tullut on,
Meidän edessämme vahvinkin on voimaton.
Aika pysähtyy ja siirtyy vuoret paikoiltaan,
Me emme järky vaikka tulta satais päälle maan.
Heikoille voi olla liikaa kutsu metallin,
Muttei niille joita ohjaa vaisto soturin!
Taivas lyö tulta yläpuolellamme
Kaikuu kallioilla ääni totuuden.
Verivalan taika on aina suojanamme,
Tuo merkki metallisen veljeyden!
Missä liikummekin aina meidät huomataan,
Kunnia ja voima saavat meihin uskomaan.
Tulivana seuraa joukkoamme mahtavaa,
On luonto puolellamme tukemassa sanomaa:
Heikoille voi olla liikaa kutsu metallin,
Muttei niille joita ohjaa vaisto soturin!
Taivas lyö tulta yläpuolellamme
Kaikuu kallioilla ääni totuuden.
Verivalan taika on aina suojanamme,
Tuo merkki metallisen veljeyden!
[Solo]
Taivas lyö tulta yläpuolellamme
Kaikuu kallioilla ääni totuuden.
Taivas lyö tulta yläpuolellamme
Kaikuu kallioilla ääni totuuden.
Verivalan taika on aina suojanamme,
Tuo merkki metallisen veljeyden!
Taivas lyö tulta!
Taivas lyö tulta!
Taivas lyö tulta yläpuolellamme
Kaikuu kallioilla ääni totuuden.
Verivalan taika on aina suojanamme,
Tuo merkki metallisen veljeyden!
 The Lord Of Wolves - Pathfinder
With the speed of the light and the wind in my
hair I ride,
Across the world of the night where an eternal
darkness abducted and holds my lady-friend,
A troglodytes head rolled down…
The lust of fight and the echo of cry kept me on
this pathway of dark.
Celestial beauty of the sky above, not cooling
down my rage,
A fearsome grim, not leaving my face. Fall in my
disgrace!
The cave dwellers shall pay and revenge shall be
mine,
No price is to high, for this what has been done –
my fury leads my sword!
Fighting with forces of chaos, the sacrifice of
blood has been never forget...
When an angel on a battlefield dies,
When a hero surrenders and cries,
The horde of wolves will be fighting for the
freedom of all,
Who deserved eternal friendship of Lord Of
Wolves.
The darkness of infernal cave stifled the fire of my
torch,
Like a blind man I searched the path, the eyes of
a wolf were my eyes.
The jaws crushed a slimy limbs, effectively
cleaned the way,
“…I believe it‟s not too late, we‟ll not go astray!!”
When an angel on a battlefield dies,
When a hero surrenders and cries,
The horde of wolves will be fighting for the
freedom of all,
Who deserved eternal friendship of Lord Of
Wolves.
Fighting with forces of chaos, the sacrifice of
blood has been never forget...
Fortune let find her, I don't believe!! A tattoo like
my stopped to shine!!
When an angel on a battlefield dies,
When a hero surrenders and cries,
The horde of wolves will be fighting for the
freedom of all,
Who deserved eternal friendship of Lord Of
Wolves.
Undiscovered Dreams - Pathfinder
[Solo: Gunsen]
Come, let me feel Your breath,
Whatever stars will say…
Whatever happens then…
Come, I wish to taste Your tears,
In one untouchable kiss,
Devoid of any sins.
Never try to touch my shiny skin,
Never wish to uncover my dreams!!
A stone of Your heart seeks revenge,
I feel it very well…
Whatever I‟d like to change…
My hate, I fed it everyday,
You share with me my way and my pain…
I‟m the flame and You are my shining star,
I‟m so close, but You are still so far!!
Undiscovered dreams, undiscovered feelings‟
land,
Thousands nights from here we still crave for
love and hate…
You are my star!!
I‟m priestess of the moon.
And I owe You my life forever!!
Someday we will find this word, that they called
the love.
In another space, in another time – somewhere!!
Undiscovered dreams, undiscovered feelings‟
land,
Someday our dreams will come true and will be
free.
[Solo: Gunsen]
Thousands miles from here we still believe in love
without hate,
But not yet…
[Violin: M. Jelonek]
 The End Of This Chapter – Sonata Arctica
[Tony Kakko]
[Intro]
[Phone rings]
"Hello?
Well, well, how are you?
Uh.. who is this?
Who do you think this is?
Stop it.. who is this?
You know very well who I am..
You almost got away from me, didn't you?
Oh my god.. you can't be.. you can't be!
Ha ha
Oui, oui, mon amour... c'est moi."
[Chapter One]
I gave you my time
I gave you my whole life
I gave you my love, every dime
They told me it was... a crime
Do you remember?
Or did it all go in vain..?
Look out the window "c'est moi"...
[Chapter Five]
I'm sorry, I am here
I'm not sure if it should bring you fear
I whisper in your ear
Why is he here'
[Chapter six]
While you are sleeping, I steal your ear ring
Light you one candle, this anger I handle
They said I won't find you, but now I'm beside
you
I'm not all that stable
You should know by now that you are mine...
Tell me that past times won't die... Tell me that
old lies are alive
I tell you that past times won't die...
I tell you that old lies are alive
Love due to expire too long time ago
Kills me, it will kill you... too

[Chapter Two] Past times won't die...

I looked in the light, I sat in your coal mine I tell you old lies are alive
The promise they made, I should keep? Hate to conspire too long time ago
Make sure that we would never meet Kill me, please kill me before

I can't remember Tell you that past times won't die...

The promise I made so deep

Tell me that past times won't die...

Tell me that old lies are alive

[Chapter Three]
Across darkened skies, I travelled without a light
I sank in the well of my mind
Too deep, never to be found

I can't remember...
How could you be so vain...

Tell me that past times won't die...

Tell me that old lies are alive
Love that expired too long time ago
Kills me, it thrills me...

[Chapter Four]
You have new love and
It looks good on you
I have never wished you dead, yet.

You can now have all the things I could never

give to you
 Last Drop Falls – Sonata Arctica
When I'm looking in your eyes
Everything seems to fade away
After all these years we had do I know you now
Have I trusted blindly in your love, too many
times
You said: "hey, my love, I'm sorry but we can't go
on 'cause
I'm in love with someone else"
Tell me, what do you want me to say
When you treat me this way
Oh I love you, maybe
And I hope it goes away
Oh, how I want you daily
I know it's gonna stay
You are so self satisfied
Always ready for a ride
Double crossing, lousy cheat, love you anyway
You have warm and tender devils soul, you are so
low
I can hear you say: "I'm sorry, should we still go
on,
I'm not in love with that someone else"
Tell me, what do you want me to say
When you treat me this way
Oh I love you, maybe'
And I hope it goes away
Oh, how I want you daily
Tell me now that...
I have found the whore in you
Why can't I tell you no
Time will show, the last word is for me
If you fail to see the problem we have, one room
full of walls
Jar of love isn't dry until the last drop falls
The moment I will step aside, you're ready for
another ride
Walking in the cool night air without underwear
You have red light burning in your soul, I've seen
the glow
In every dream I have I say: "I'm not in love with
you"
But every day I say I do
You have messed with my head so many times
Forced me to love you [spoken]
Now that...
I have found the whore in you
Why can't I tell you no
Time will show, the last word is for me
If you fail to see the problem we have, one room
full of walls
I will try until the last drop falls
Shy – Sonata Arctica
[Lyrics by: Tony Kakko]
I can see how you are beautiful, can you feel my
eyes on you,
I'm shy and turn my head away
Working late in diner Citylite, I see that you get
home alright
Make sure that you can't see me, hoping you will
see me
Sometimes I'm Wondering why you look me and
you blink your eye
You can't be acting like my Dana
I see you in Citylite diner serving all those meals
and then
I see reflection of me in your eye, oh please
Talk to me, show some pity
You touch me in many, many ways
But I'm shy can't you see
Obsessed by you, your looks, well, anyway "I
would any day die for you",
I write on paper & erased away
Still I sit in diner Citylite, drinking coffee and
reading lies
Turn my head and I can see you, could that really
be you
Sometimes I'm wondering why you look me and
you blink your eye
You can't be acting like my Dana?
I see your beautiful smile and I would like to run
away from
Reflections of me in your eyes, oh please
Talk to me, show some pity
You touch me in many, many ways
But I'm shy can't you see
I see, can't have you, can't leave you there 'cos I
must sometimes see you
But I don't understand how you can keep me in
chains
And every waken hour, I feel your taking power
From me and I can't leave
Repeating the scenery over again
Sometimes I'm wondering why you look me and
you blink your eye
You can't be acting like my Dana?
I see your beautiful smile and I would like to run
away from
Reflections of me in your eyes, oh please
Talk to me, show some pity
You touch me in many, many ways
But I'm shy can't you see
 In The Dark – Sonata Arctica Stop resisting, let the light in... oh, oh... for this
[Bonus Track] one lifetime)

I'm from where the magic is
I'll give you what I cannot take away with me
And the sunlit day and moon
I wanna have a silent kiss, I wanna make you
mine,
I'm thinking how...
can't leave me now
Stay with me somehow
You come from where the fire is,
you give me what you couldn't burn the last time
One sunless day and moon
I wanna be so close to you,
see whatever scars you carry within your broken
heart,
Mine's your missing part
Come with me, where the magic is,
there's more than light we could share
We could join the sun and moon if you want to
Be my lifeline for this lifetime, suffer in pleasure
forever and ever
I'd like to see how the walls around your heart
will fall apart...
Stop resisting, let the light in, suffer in pleasure
forever and ever
...for this one lifetime
I am feeling your face in the dark
I'm hearing you breathe in the dark
I am tasting your lips in the dark
I'm holding you close in the dark
I'll take you where the magic is
I'll give you everything I I only can offer
You can have my broken midnight moon
If you give me your broken heart
And I will give you something real and golden.
We can make this life the finest art...
I come from where the magic is
I'd give you what I could take away with me
And a sunlit day and moon
I wanna have a silent kiss I wanna make you
mine,
I'm thinking you can't leave me now
Stay with me somehow
I am feeling your face in the dark
I'm hearing you breathe in the dark
I am tasting your lips in the dark
I'm holding you close in the dark

Let me take you where the magic is,

back in time,
Remember the light, of the cold December moon
I wanna have a silent kiss, I wanna make you
mine,
I'm thinking you can't leave me now
Stay with me somehow
Stay with me somehow

Come with me where the magic is,

there is more than light we can share
We could own the sun and moon

Be my lifeline for this lifetime, suffer in pleasure

forever and ever
I'd like to see how the walls around your heart
will fall apart.
Stop resisting, let the light in, suffer in pleasure
forever and ever
...for this one lifetime

(Be my lifeline for this lifetime, suffer in pleasure

forever and ever
