1. Father Time 5.02

Music : Tolkki
Words : Kotipelto, Johnson
Walking down the path
That leads me to my memories
Pacing all the way
Without a care in my stride
Where are the friends of my yesterday
Have they moved on with their lives?
Can we still laugh
And joke about things like before?

There's no need to hide
Past that I have left behind
It's a good resource
Somewhere for me to find
Why am I waiting for someone to reach out
It shouldn't be all up to them
Keeping in touch ain't that easy
But I'll have to try

Where have all the years gone?
That's what I am asking now
What have I learned so far?
Tell me father time - tell me now

Now I understand
I'll take from time what I need
And I store it inside
It's there for me to find
I can't deny that the years will pass by
But it won't bother me
Coz now I will set out
To realize my dream

Where have all the years gone?
That's what I am asking now
What have I learned so far?
Tell me father time - tell me now


2. Will The Sun Rise? 5.06

Music : Tolkki
Words : Kotipelto
Throwing my dreams out of my mind
Casting them into the sky
Cancelling tasks I've delayed for so long
Now it's do or die

I can't be seen I can't be heard
But I am here and I am wondering

Will the sun rise tomorrow?
Will it light up my sky?
Can I wake up with no sorrow awaiting?
Will the sun rise tomorrow?
Will I still see the dawn
And not worry about the future at all?

At the end of each day I promise myself
I'd better start to live
Coz sooner or later I'll find out
There's so much I can give

I can't be seen I can't be heard
But I am here and I am wondering

Will the sun rise tomorrow?
Will it light up my sky?
Can I wake up with no sorrow awaiting?
Will the sun rise tomorrow?
Will I still see the dawn
And not worry about the future at all?


3. Eternity 6.56

Music : Tolkki
Words : Kotipelto
When clouds are covering the sky
I can't help thinking what's behind
In a fading evening
I can feel strange thoughts in my mind
What if we aren't alone here?
There's a clone of everyone somewhere
That duplicates all that we do
Not like me not like you but our other ego

There ain't no wars or crises
Only joy and compromises
Time has stood still

Why don't you take me there?
Wanna feel some infinity?
Why don't we just dare
Coz after all remains ... Eternity

A landscape with no trees
And a mist arising from the distance
An illusion just for me
Or a proper reward and a chance

There ain't no wars or crises
Only joy and compromises
Time has stood still

Why don't you take me there?
Wanna feel some infinity?
Why don't we just dare
Coz after all remains ... Eternity


4. Episode 2.01

Music : Tolkki
Instumental

5. Speed Of Light 3.03

Music : Tolkki
Words : Kotipelto
Today is just another day
Of my life too short to live
I should have some kind of meaning
A destiny to believe in
Before I go to sleep

I find some pictures of a time
When everything was still so fine
Although the years have passed by
I will give it all I have inside ... everything

I'm away lost in my thoughts
Everyday my life goes by
At the speed of light


6. Uncertainty 5.59

Music & Words : Kotipelto
Learning by trying it's hard to deny it
While paying for what I used to know
Dreams are deceiving until I'm achieving
The goals I haven't set too low

Waiting for a new day
To wipe away the uncertainty
That flows around me
Once again stay

So many choices but so few answers
My time slips away while thinking too much
Whom to believe in they're all just repeating
The same old lies so nice to clutch

Waiting for a new day
To wipe away the uncertainty
That flows around me
Once again stay


7. Season Of Change 6.57

Music & Words : Tolkki
Season of change life feels so strange
Look into my eyes, do you see the truth?
I'm lost and alone, feelings unknown
They come to me stronger than before

On winds of time my soul will fly
The angels are knocking at my door
Oh now I need to be free
From all this hatred I feel inside

Let it be my dreams
Let it be my thoughts
All those thing in my heart
One too many days
One too many years
I wasted for nothing

I never realized
The truth is inside
Of every man for all to see
Listen to me now
I'm so close to you
Never felt like this before

The carousel is spinnign fast
Better enjoy while it lasts
Every moment is like gold
You'll remember when you're old
And the meaning of this life
Is to live and is to die
Make the best out of your dreams
They are the world where you are free

All the sorrow and the pain
Will be washed away by rain
An eternal joy will come
It can be found by everyone
Though the end is drawing near
I'm not feeling any fear
I have found the truth inside
After all the tears I cry

Season of change ...

8. Stratosphere 4.52

Music : Tolkki
Instrumental

9. Babylon 7.09

Music & Words : Tolkki
A new day is rising
In ancient Babylon
Revealing mysteries to see
And the endless caravan
Never ending its journey
With the wings of the wind I will fly

I can hear you calling me
I am blind but I see

Babylon
Your memory haunts me forever
It won't leave me be
Babylon
Your glory's stronger than ever
For all to see

Centuries have passed by
But your memory still lives on
In the minds of those who see
Under the summer moon
There comes a sight
That stays with me forever

I can hear you calling me
I am blind but I see

Babylon
Your memory haunts me forever
It won't leave me be
Babylon
Your glory's stronger than ever
For all to see

And underneath the starlit sky
I feel so strong I'll never die
I'm on this road to eternity
My soul will live forever - I'm free

Babylon
Your memory haunts me forever
It won't leave me be
Babylon
Your glory's stronger than ever
For all to see


10. Tomorrow 4.52

Music : Tolkki
Words : Johnson
Staring out the window
Wondering will I soon know
The answers to the questions within
Where should I begin?
Delusioned by a clear winter night
While trying to find some insight
The solution is close at hand
Yet still so far away

I'll turn the tables 'round and find another way
I'll leave all this behind and move on today

I will take things as they come
Look out for number one
And I'll be back tomorrow
Feeling strong and brave inside
My head up high with pride
Yes I'll be back tomorrow

I'm facing my nightmares again
Determined that I won't bend
The answers are coming to me
I'm learning how to believe
I know now that this is the way
I've found my red-letter day
I've been there out on a limb
But now I've finally come in

I've turn the tables 'round and found another way
I've left it all behind for a better day

I will take things as they come
Look out for number one
And I'll be back tomorrow
Feeling strong and brave inside
My head up high with pride
Yes I'll be back tomorrow


11. Night Time Eclipse 7.58

Music : Tolkki
Words : Kotipelto
If I could stay awake for awhile
I would see another morning
Don't wanna fall asleep now when
Everything seems so far and beyond

Walking down a familiar road
But the darkness is misleading me
I know I should feel fear inside
Still the shadow's where I wanna be

Just an ordinary day stealing all the hope away
Wanting me to be the one who has dreams made of clay

My fading confused mind
Creating phrases unknown

I know I shouldn't stay awake
If I fall asleep they just might find me
Now all is so clear
I can finally proceed

Just an ordinary day stealing all the hope away
Wanting me to be the one who has dreams made of clay

My fading confused mind
Creating phrases unknown

Waiting for the dawn soon to arrive
So few options that I have and I can use
Life's circumstances can be so cruel
If I take a chance I just might make the wrong move


12. Forever 3.06

Music & Words : 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?
