Confessions of the Maker

From the plains of power whine the last stormy winds For the guardian of Midgard a final journey begins Pre Chorus By Odin's side with the aesir gods behind, a distant voice enters his mind Chorus Lord of the sky, you're running out of time The serpent will poison your sublime Thunder and lightning may have dyed your blood but you can't escape the twilight of the gods With the hammer you have crushed all who stood in your way But strength and deity won't help you on the final day Pre Chorus As chaos reigns and the Valkyries sing, a warning is sent only for him Chorus Solo Dahl, Nyberg Chorus Bridge Charioteer - You're a warrior without peer Charioteer - But your grandeur will end right here Charioteer - Charioteer - You're a warrior without peer Charioteer - Charioteer - But your grandeur will end right here

When you think you're alone the eyes of the world will read your mind for me I'm the author of life The maker of love and hate, tragedy and fate Pre Chorus I'm the chain, you're the slave I'll be there from the cradle to the grave Chorus All wars were mine, created for joy I'm guilty of every crime When you cry in tears I smile in delight I am the answer to what you fear and all that you see My pleasure is your destiny When you stand in the rain, abandoned and naked, I can not deny my desire to plague Well, my rules are mean, but fair and valid everywhere Pre Chorus I'm the wolf, you're the lamb In my world you are forever damned Chorus Solo Dahl Bridge Once you're born you'll find yourself placed behind the scenes of the theatre of pain Dazed and hollow you will dwell until it is your turn to take part in the play of God Chorus

Restless and fierce we're approaching this unspoiled new ground Eager to kill, feast and rape in this new land we've found Pre Chorus The moon is high, but no one knows what's landed by the bay In your town soon blood will flow Just before the dawn of day Chorus Warriors from the land of the midnight sun Wield your axes for live shall none For your gold and the slaughter we have sailed far on stormy waters Many coasts have been conquered and laid to rest on our great never-ending quest There is nothing to stop the northern rage In this dark and violent age At midnight we reach our target and the plundering begins We slay every one of you as we enjoy our sins Pre Chorus The massacre echoes in the night, filled with grief and pain When the last home burn in the morning light, nothing here remains Chorus Bridge Longing for glory We're the masters of the sea Anger's our story Gold and blood are all we need Encouraged by the Gods our journey shall go on forever Solo Dahl, Nyberg Chorus

Welcome to earth, a circus where the clowns are in control Welcome to life, a state of hysteria programmed in your soul Pre Chorus Don't talk, don't think, don't feel, stay out of the way Just be glad and grateful for your soon ending days Chorus We are all the chosen ones dressed up for God's masquerade Without a stage and audience we dance the fools' ballet There's justice for all behind the beautiful but false facade Here women and men, young and old are playing the great mortals' charade Pre Chorus Chorus Solo Dahl Bridge Almighty father, thank you for all the fun and excitement on your great ball No matter what you have planned for us we’ll perform until we fall Chorus

Prologue So you want to hear a tale, you say? A true story from my younger days? I'll try to recall, so now listen well as I tell you about this demon from Hell Far to the north, into the barren Wastes we went, my companions and I To a place where the lost stronghold of king Tharngrim was said to lie After many a peril we found it, but a shadow hung over the place We were told of a prophecy. A demon returning one of these days Pre Chorus Shortly the keep was beset by a tide of Chaos, and we were pushed back to the innermost hall, where we prepared a last stand for the final attack Chorus Though we had fought hard and well our hopes were dead and gone, for we all knew that the worst was yet to come So there we stood in silence and stark fear, awaiting our fate Then the silence ended as a tremendous force shattered the last gate Ablaze in the darkness of the smashed gate was a pair of eyes. Like burning coal It was violence incarnate, terrifying beyond comprehension to behold Then it spoke with a roaring voice, and eyes shining brightly with insane bloodthirst "I've come back, just as I promised. Well, little dwarfs, who wants to die first?" Pre Chorus Like a blood soaked god it came, truly the terror of its name For the blood and souls it came, for an old debt to be claimed Chorus As the prophecy foretold the foul demon returned And the noble king Tharngrim painfully learned that yesterdays glory can be turned into tomorrows doom when he faced the Terror down in the mountain's gloom Bridge Its axe rose and fell in great bloody arcs, turning the floor into a red lake as it ploughed through the dwarf host and left a crimson ruin in its wake Chorus And despite the sentinels' determination to protect their king I witnessed the prophecy come true as the king was slain by this vile thing Epilogue Well, the story has come to an end I hope you have enjoyed the tale, my friend But listen to me, and listen well They do exist, these demons from Hell So now be sure to remember, my son, that Chaos snare the unwary one

My life is a bloody mess To my body I have no access I know what is right, but I'm not in charge I can't let go of the knife that I just have raised to end your life One more awful crime to torture my mind Pre Chorus Let me out. Let me out of here I just can't take it no longer Let me go, and leave me alone before I go insane Chorus Born to run, and follow the sight of despair, chaos and fright Desperate taking soul after soul I'm out of control In panic I am damned to live my life My actions are not of my will, but they seem to give my brain a thrill I can not resist my heinous slaughter I'm caught in a mad machine Destruction and death are all I've seen How can I escape this hellish nightmare? Pre Chorus Chorus Solo Dahl Chorus Chorus

The day of our revenge is dawning with a chilling haze Like the day we fell from grace It was a shameful black day when our bravery failed But today valour shall prevail Under the rising sun the mist of the morning clears, revealing a forest of spears A loathsome crawling mass of filth, roaring with bloodlust Well, this time they will be crushed Charge! Pre Chorus The thunder of pounding hooves below heralds the doom of our foes Like thunder we descend upon our prey For our shame they will pay Chorus Might and honour Now we shall restore our tarnished name and pride Might and valour Once again the White Company of Wolves rides into battle and war With the sound of horns and the rumbling roll of drums we attack the tainted scum Shouting war cries like howling wolves we ride down the slope Our hearts filled with fierce joy and hope No more shall we have to feel the infamous' bitter pain, or bow our heads in shame By death or victory our honour shall be restored So, in the name of our Lord Charge! Pre Chorus Chorus Solo Dahl, Nyberg Bridge With fury singing in our veins we smite our fallen leader's bane Our hammers are smashing a gory path to redemption and sweet glory Chorus Into battle and war

Another day to fight for my unspoken rights How can you say it's worth the price you pay in a cage of lies? Another chapter in the daily book if sin Here I'm supposed to walk along a path which I know is wrong Pre Chorus You may say I aim too high, but I know what I have to do I can't see the reason why the old dream should not come true Chorus Out of the void Against the wind of madness Into tomorrow I sail with my hope No time to waste I'm heading for the future I'll carry on till I finally reach my burning vision Tired of being the prey and always hearing them say You can not raise a family lost in a fantasy Detested by the fools who never break a rule But their eternal jealousy won't change my destiny Pre Chorus Chorus Bridge When dreams and memories collide I'll be leaving for the final ride Just like the wind I'll travel across the seas Under skies of glory I will fly, forever free Laughing at the pain in my past Solo Nyberg, Dahl Chorus

Rain - A million tears to the ground Wind - The unmistakable sound of war The rebellion has begun Our freedom must be won To the castle of tyranny we ride Pre Chorus Tear down the walls Hunt the King out of his halls Dethrone the One and we'll be in command What ever we'll meet, we won't surrender nor retreat Freedom we claim to the Shadowland Chorus No more lies. Let the crown of the tyrant fall It's the final battle of the Shadowland Glory days and peace are waiting for us all It's the revolution of the Shadowland Fight for all the painful years when all we felt was fear Drawn by insurrection we will prevail Pre Chorus Closer we come Now we know what's to be done The message we have for his majesty Die tonight! Chorus Solo Dahl, Nyberg Bridge Rebels of the brave Never loose your faith Let us end it all tonight Hold on to your hearts and fight Chorus Shadowland Shadowland

A cold and endless void of glimmering bright souls I see Drifting around our sad and mundane reality Pre Chorus An astral plane filled with strange harmony Where the dead march on, through infinity But I don't know where they go No one's come back to tell me the truth Chorus Have you ever wondered what's beyond your terrestrial life and corporal bonds? Have you ever pondered on what's out there, when your life is over and finished here? The greatest mystery of all On golden rays of light. On shining silvery beams Ethereal beings float in beautiful glittering streams Pre Chorus Dancing slowly towards the unknown To a place our Maker has shown? Well, I don't know where they go No one's come back to tell me the truth Chorus Solo Dahl Bridge All these souls, like a billion fires, illuminate the void as life expires But like grains of sand they are blown astray On a terminal voyage they sail away

Lies, empty words in the wind A tragic melody Unwise is the one who believe in tomorrow Pre Chorus The shade of a loser never fades away until the story ends But there is a light where I lonely stray and the light is you my friend Chorus Silent angel from above Take me on your wings of love Fly me far away from here Show me the way to the silence Free is the one with a name carved in a tombstone Tell me, am I the one to blame for my life? Pre Chorus The pain is eternal when I realise, all my thoughts were true There's neither a Heaven nor a paradise All I can believe in is you Chorus Bridge I see her face in the crowds, the darkness and the clouds I'll wait for her until I find eternal tranquillity Solo Dahl Chorus
