1. Blank File

[Tony Kakko]

It is your new best friend, new eye in your private den

And you can find the world inside it every day

They know what you did today, hear everything you say

And when they send you mail,

they know where you will go sometime next day

They know your life, they have a file about you

They built your life, so they...

Know what you like and know what you yearn

but they don't know a thing about me

I'm not that easy, I'm blank file in their memory

aught in the web again, inside your private den

!here you can go to moon

or meet some people you will never see

"ou are a file in there, money in an open fair

"ou're a slave among the slaves, waiting for future with a fear

They know your life, they have a file about you

They built your life, so they...




#till they try to take over, control my life,

but no one can do it but me


$h oh oh




I am waiting, hoping and prayingto see % how this % will end % when they go down





&ow can it be, that you cannot see

what they are doing with thee

"ou are a life, new file in their memory, now they




$h oh oh

&ow can it be, that you cannot see

what they are doing with thee

spending your time, living your life

inside their machines there is one empty file, it is me

2. My Land

[Tony Kakko]

y own land has closed its gates on me

All alone in world, it's scaring me

I am here to prove you wrongI'm accused to something I live for

In my dreamland, there's one who understands

A friendly soul, trusting life in your hand

"es, I gave it all I can

(ow it's invaded by a stranger

Keep in mind what you have heard today

"ou might find that you are not so brave

Are you man enough, carrying the load all alone

!hen others have your own

y old land is but a pile of sand

old and bare but something still is there

"es, I gave it all I can

(ow it's invaded by a stranger






!hen others have your own

I'm a )true* patriot, you are my land,

you have my soul, you have all I had

(ow I am here, and I want it back

In my dreams, I climb the hills I see

and let a gentle bree+e lead me to

plains I once have seen and

lear blue sky, I swim in lakes I find

I build a house right there

that you can't take, never take away

I am here to claim my land

you can't keep me away, forever




!hen others have your own [2 times]

your door. I tried so hard to obey the law, and see the

meaning of this all. emember me- /efore the war.

I'm the man who lived next door. ong ago...

As you can see, when you look at me, I'm pieces of

what I used to be. It's easier when you don't see mestanding on my own two feet. I'm taller when I sit

They made me a heart of steal, the kind them bullets

cannot see, yeah.

(othing's what it seems to be,

I'm a replica, I'm a replica

no room for air, I can't breathe, I would give a kingdomfor one more day

Treasures and crowns wouldn't mean a thingIf I only had a heart, if I only had a heart...



(ow I know I will never love you, I'm )a* man without

a heart, I'm not allowed to feel human feelings

I'm king of the land, I'm a ruler of seas, I'd give it

away in a moment. If I only had one moment

I'd give % a kingdom to 4ust one more day



Treasures and crowns wouldn't mean a thing

If I only had a heart



Treasures and crowns wouldn't mean a thing

". F#ll Moon

[Tony Kakko]

#itting in a corner all alone,

staring from the bottom of his soul,

watching the night come in from the window

It'll all collapse tonight, the fullmoon is here again

In sickness and in health, understanding so demanding

It has no name, there's one for every season

akes him insane to know

unning away from it all

6I'll be safe in the cornfields6, he thinks &unted by his own,

again he feels the moon rising on the sky

3ind a barn which to sleep in, but can he hide anymore

#omeones at the door, understanding too demanding

an this be wrong, it's love that is not ending

akes him insane to know

#he should not lock the open door)run away, run away, run way*



3ullmoon is on the sky and &e's not a man anymore

#ee the change in &im but can't

)run away, run away, run away*

#ee what became out of her man... 3ullmoon

#wimming across the bay,

the nite is gray, so calm today

#he doesn't wanna wait.

6!e've gotta make the love complete tonight...6

In the mist of the morning he cannot fight anymore

A hundred moons or more, he's been howling

Knock on the door, and scream that is soon ending

ess on the floor again...

#he should not lock the open door

)run away run away, run away*

3ullmoon is on the sky and he's not a man anymore

#ees the change in him but can't


#ee what became out of her man



3ullmoon is on the sky and he's not a man anymore#ees the change in him but can't


#ee what became out of her darling man



3ullmoon is on the sky and he's not a man anymore

#ee what became out of her man

8. 'nopened

[Tony Kakko]

Another misspelled rhyme

written in the book of time

In one page I've spent all my life

Ink ain't even dry. I've been living in a lie-

&ow could I trust in someone of your kind-

And I got today another letter in the mail

I can't read it here, not today

And when years go by

the unopened letter meets my eye

I'm older and wiser, but still afraid

!hat if I read it and it is % full of love

&ow can I face it if I am wrong

2o you feel- 2o you care about me-2id you wait and love me all this time-

I am here, would you come and find me

(. )ict#ring %he )a*t

[Tony Kakko]

In a house where no one never sleeps,

lays a man who sees more with his eyes7icturing the past before him,

in a bed, alone, with clothes on

7aying for service he doesn't really need

!ith his eyes, he sees more love and lust

more tears, far too much to handle

an't tell a soul, not this time, they'd lock him right up

Too much of burning bushes too much for his weak soul

In his mind, oh so 4aded, he's gone too far behind$f all the visions seen, this one makes him scream

&e cannot live neither die in this world

/urning sensation inside, you know how that hurts-

aking up for the crimes of your life

!ith scythe as your sword,

you must fight 'till the end of time

2on't look behind, or you will fall through the time

$nly time can make you see behind of the curtain hiding

secrets. "our time is up when you see the light

"ou can live as a noble man but when time,

"ou won't be left behind

!ith the sound of time ringing in his head,

&e leaves the house where no%one sleeps

5ob well done knowing that at least one will be pleased

&iding is always useless, pictures will fade with time



#eeking for a winner of the day, pri+e of the life is here

$f all the visions seen this one makes him scream

&e cannot live neither die in this world

/urning sensation inside, you know how that hurts-

aking up for the crimes of your life

!ith scythe as your sword,

you must fight 'till the end of time [2 times]

1+. &e*tr#ction )re,enter

[Tony Kakko]

I'm at home where my coat's hanging,

I'm a shepherd of raising sun

I believe and trust in my land,

I control, I am in charge of

1veryones future, red button is mine

iss the times when I was roaring

in the center of all mankind

I said how they should live your life,

I controlled, I was in charge, nowI think the red storm will rise and destroy us all.

&eat in the center, destruction preventer

If you release one, you release 'em all

"ou can't defend &er, kneel down and surrender

"our end is at hand, if they blow

If you go and have their way now,

you will never have your choice

atch a breath of air in your lungs,

it might be your never get to

do it again because this now this is the end, yeah8

$h oh oh

"esterday I saw a light, moving fast across the sky

(ow I see glow, left and right,

#tars are falling down tonight, I fear...

And the pouring rain, eating my green grass,leaving a stain



(ever healing back to be the same

(ow tell me who won here tonight

The price, of winning worthless fight

!e'll make the same mistakes again

9nless, this is truly the end

&eat in the center, destruction preventer

If you release one, you release 'em all

"ou can't defend &er, kneel down and surrender

"our end is at hand, if they blow [3 times]
