Wayward Son (4:53)
(Andersson/Svanbom)

(Lead - Dan)

Suddenly change, tearing it down
Tearing my heart to the core
Lost in a time, nowhere to find
Burning the bridge to the shore

You’re falling out of line
Waiting for the end
You’re staring at the sun
Time and time and again

Oh my wayward son
Life has just begun
Find your self the way
What will you become
When it’s dead and gone
Oh my wayward son

Wild at the seams, watching him bleed
Touching the soul of us all
Free in his mind, catcher of rye
Watching it all from above

You’ve got a life to live
Heading down that road
Your way of moving on

Oh my wayward son
Life has just begun
Find your self the way
What will you become
When it’s dead and gone
Oh my wayward son

(Lead - Osman)

Don’t wait here
Don’t wait here
Don’t you wait down here
Don’t you wait down here

Oh my wayward son
Life has just begun
Find your self the way
What will you become
When it’s dead and gone
Oh my wayward son

(Lead - Dan)

Oh my wayward son ...

Cast your shadow (5:31)
(Andersson/Svanbom)

(Lead - Osman)

You say your life is changing
You say your life is gone
Your dreams are fading

... of what you fear inside

Your destination lies within
In another time
You are the monster
Behind the wall

Some day you will find it
Some day you’ll justify it all
You just can’t deny it
Your shadow’s stained upon the wall

This is your crowd of believers
This is your crowd of souls
You shed your skin

... and the monster comes alive

Now when the world is crumbling
And when the fire starts
It’s the end of your time
We’ll rise above you all

Some day you will find it

Some day you’ll justify it all

You just can’t deny it

Your shadow’s stained upon the wall

(Lead - Dan)

Some day you will find it

Some day you’ll justify it all

You just can’t deny it

Your shadow’s stained upon the wall

(Lead - Dan)

Your shadow’s stained upon the wall

Brings Them Back (4:55)

(Andersson/Svanbom)

Stage your life

Bring them home

Hear those words of love

Feel that pain

World remains

Fear that void inside

And the hands of time

... are the hands of mine

Feels like the end of the world

Feels like the tide is changing

Feels like the sun don’t shine

I cannot take this no more

Something will be forgotten

Brings them back to life

Hold this life

Be that might

Save those last in line

Keep that soul

In your sight

Feel them come to life

And the hands of time

... are the hands of mine

Feels like the end of the world

Feels like the tide is changing

Feels like the sun don’t shine

I cannot take this no more

Something will be forgotten

Brings them back to life

(Lead - Dan)

Feels like the end of the world

Feels like the tide is changing

Feels like the sun don’t shine

I cannot take this no more

Something will be forgotten

Brings them back to life

(Lead - Osman)

Mary Jane (5:19)
(Andersson/Svanbom)

I see this mirror
and it tells me no lies
I stand before it on trial
My own damnation
as my eyes turn wide
I’ve got to make up my mind

Still I know my life
is heading for disaster
I can hear the baying of the hounds
And I know the things
you really think I’m after
I can feel the dragon come to life

Mary Jane always seems to know where I go
Mary Jane’s got me on hold
Mary Jane never lets me go, take control
This is my Mary Jane

(Lead - Dan)

My life is broken
distorted through time
I could be over and out
And in my veins
something I can not find
I am more dead than alive

Still I know my life
is heading for disaster
I can hear the baying of the hounds

And I know the things
you really think I’m after
I can feel the dragon come to life

Mary Jane always seems to know, where I go
Mary Jane’s got me on hold
Mary Jane never lets me go, take control
This is my Mary Jane

(Lead - Osman)

Mary Jane always seems to know, where I go

Mary Jane’s got me on hold

Mary Jane never lets me go, take control

This is my Mary Jane

The Great War (7:08)

(Andersson/Svanbom)

Pt. I - Prologue (3:40)

(Lead - Dan)

When the time has taken the beating

When the times will call for this war

As the fire begins with a bleeding

When your borders will show who you are

Will you sign your life for me

Will you sign you up for our needs

As we send you on your way

To defend the things that we say

We've been fighing this before

But the time has come for war

When the need is to be stronger

When the need is to be right

There's a price to pay for this fire

There’s a price that takes our life

In the coldest of the winters

Leave your safer ground

If the hate is your fear that you're dying

There’s a will to kill for your land

We've been fighting this before

But the time has come for war

(Lead - Osman/Dan)

Pt. II: Heroes (1:40)

Heroes - something that we believe

Savior - something that we can be

If the end will come I will be there

To defend the world we have

I will stand this ground until it's gone

And the hero will be me

(Lead - Dan)

... will be me

Pt. III: War (2:00)

But we turned our self to war

Heroes - something that we believe

Savior - something that we can be

(Lead - Dan)

All that we need

All we believe

Here they come!

Hollow (4:10)
(Andersson/Svanbom)

A touch of fate that slips away
A bitter fallen
... out of love they say

Into the night - call this fight
Between the lover and the prey

You will remember me
Watching - waiting
I cannot set you free
Hollow - Hollow

(Lead - Dan)

A moment lives but never dies
A bleeding heart

... still this life
A touch of fire - your desire
From this world into the lair

You will remember me
Watching - waiting
I cannot set you free
Hollow - Hollow
Watching - waiting
I cannot set you free
Hollow

(Lead - Osman)

The love, the pain
The ending of a story
We all believe
That the time is now
The fight between
The edge of resurrection
Stay this time
... for the blood runs dry

(Lead - Dan)

You will remember me

Watching - waiting

I cannot set you free

Hollow - Hollow

Watching - waiting

I cannot set you free

Hollow

To the top

Burn (4:54)

(Andersson/Svanbom)

(Lead - Dan)

Life, unattended through time

Like the waters

Find, all descended we cry

This moment

All those years that we wasted you away

All those years in silence

All those time we stared into your soul

Burn

Wild, so faded out

Trailing

Prey, for the breaking of lies

Saving

All those years that we wasted you away

All those years in silence

All those time we stared into your soul

You will make us burn

Make us burn

(Lead - Osman)

Spoken: The raven

All those years that we wasted you away

All those years in silence

All those time we stared into your soul

You will make us burn

(Lead - Osman)

Save me (4:41)

(Andersson/Svanbom)

(Lead - Osman)

All our dreams

that you will cast aside

All our hopes

that you have forced and denied

Desolation from the stories within

We will never let you rise again

Rise again

Won’t you save me

Won’t you hear my call

Won’t you save me from myself

All our dreams

that's made of black and gold

All our lives

that could be bought or be sold

Your salvation from the core of the drain

You can never make it right again

Right again

Won’t you save me

Won’t you hear my call

Won’t you save me from myself

(Lead - Dan)

Rise again

Won’t you save me

Won’t you hear my call

Won’t you save me from myself

Won’t you save me

Won’t you save me from myself

(Lead - Osman)

Another Day of life (5:15)
(Andersson/Svanbom)

Some days it’s hard to find the words
Finding all the answers
Seen it all before
Look outside the world
find a way of life
The stories unfold before my eyes

Faceless people, I see you
Always by your side
A voice inside, within
Telling me it’s fine

Another day of life
time goes by
Another day of life is gone
Another story to be broken
Another story to be told

See the street outside it burns
Hear your life reflections
Soul forever torn
Shadows of our lives
fade away and die
The light surround us
the journey of our time

Faceless people, I see you
Always by your side

A voice inside, within
Telling me it’s fine

Another day of life

time goes by

Another day of life is gone

Another story to be broken

Another story to be told

(Lead - Dan)

Another day of life

time goes by

Another day of life is gone

Another story to be broken

Another story to be told

Another day of life

Another day of life

Another day of life ... is gone

(Lead - Osman)

To the top

Carry on (5:05)
(Andersson/Svanbom)

I hear your voice

lost in the distance of time
Fear of the day

your demons will catch you alive

Defending the right
and fight for blood and glory
Cry out your versions of the truth

Is there an ending
I can’t recall
My cross to bear will burden us all

This could not be the time to die

This could not be the end

So Carry on ... Carry on

After the war

I could not release you from pain
Fight for the day

to rise and rise again
I see the other side of life
You fall into the battle as you cry

Is there an ending
I can’t recall
My cross to bear will burden us all

Is this the life I used to live
Beginning to the end

So Carry on ... Carry on

(Lead - Dan)

So Carry on ... Carry on

I hear your voice

lost in the distance of time
Fear of the day

your demons will catch you alive

The great war

(Andersson/Svanbom)

”Pt. IV: Epilogue (1:59)

When the time has taken the beating

When the time did call for this war

There’s a fire that ended the bleeding

And the fighting that gave you these scars

There’s a shadow I see, staring at me

A shape of the things that will be

There’s a shadow that waits, to fool us again

From a voice of near and far

We did lose our self to war
