Winterland

Music: Goude/Andersson Lyrics: Lundberg The bones of the past brought back to life by evil fed On the longest day of pain bring forth the spirits of the dead Gather in darkness, when they are crossed the candles fade That which was borrowed must be repaid Chorus: All the dreams you buy (At the Gates of Everbe) Where the crows lie Scream in vane, man of shame Bleeding the way that Christ did You’re not Him, no second sight You’ll always see the dark, not the resurrecting light Solo: Halvar April night, deceitfully cold, embracing light Feel his thorns, painful nails although his might The cries of shame as the Saviour fades The sins of us all must be repaid Chorus

Music: Goude/Halvarsson/Andersson Lyrics: Goude/Lundberg We bring salvation for your soul and purity for your flesh We shall rid your mind of thoughts, our name you shall bless We’ll teach you our righteous ways and fill you with belief Learn to live by our laws ‘cause apathy relieves Chorus: Sinner, confess, repent and be blessed Sinner, repent for the life you led Sinner, confess, repent and be blessed Bring forth the lamb, bring it forth to the slaughter We shall feast upon its blood Rip and tear the flesh, sacrificial rites In the name of the Living God Solo: Halvar, Micke We’ve conformed to obedient masses Yu saved our souls from vice But tell the truth ‘cause we seek the truth Is there happiness in our eyes? Chorus

Music: Andersson/Goude Lyrics: Goude/Lundberg So Here I am once more in my private hell again Hunched foetal in darkness, trying to soothe the pain I’ve killed myself a thousand times before And if it would ease you pain I’ll kill myself a thousand more So I’ll die again Chorus: Take my hand Take my soul Take my wretched life and make me whole Take my lies Take my truth Take them all away as I die before you I scar you deep inside, I only leave you hurt My black embrace only smoothers you with dirt I hold the shining blade close to the vein To cut me off from myself, to kill all the pain Chorus

Music: Goude Lyrics: Lundberg Sitting here like I’ve done before Crying for my desperate soul Trying to find the words but nothing’s left If this is what it’s for Live this life, an empty hole Be born, to be born What is the meaning? The mournful whisperings on the field of the dead They have so much to tell me, so much is unsaid I held your hands when I begged you to stay You closed your eyes as you passed away Oh, memories Chorus: When you died my body cried Memories But inside I know you’re in paradise I thought I heard you call out my name But it might have been the wind To me we’re all the same One of these nights when pain overwhelms me I’ll come to you for all eternity Oh, I’ll be free Chorus Solo: Micke Sitting here... Chorus

Music: Goude/Knutar/Johansson Lyrics: Lundberg/Goude The sound of silence scares me I close my eyes and hold my breath As I hide in the gloom to escape the certain death No one is left to shed a tear All are gone except the one I fear Chorus: I fear my fate is sealed It feeds upon the fear I feel Its breath upon my neck The time has come, screams won’t help me now The safety of light yet so far away It’s dragging my life, my soul deeper Dragging me down into eternity Chorus The Reaper’s dice has been thrown Still I’m afraid to face the unknown Reality’s dim, dimensions twist Time stands still, yet eons pass me by Logic is no more, my sanity fades Trapped in this nothingness, never to die Solo: Micke, Halvar All alone...

Music: Andersson/Lundberg/Halvarsson/Goude/Knutar Lyrics: Lundberg When I passed the line the seventh time It opened up the gate to the shadows in my dreams Chorus: I’ll take your soul for free my friend So come to me It opened up the gate to the shadows in my dreams The light of darkness so tempting it seems Solo: Micke When I saw that sign the seventh time I could feel His hand reaching out for me, He said Chorus

Music: Andersson Lyrics: Goude/Lundberg Embraced by the chill of the wind Its icy fingers reaching for my soul The arctic wasteland greets my eyes As I watch my fate unfold The sad wings of solitude wrapped around me The cold spell of winter bites my skin The flames of pain sear my wretched flesh Still this purgatory won’t cleanse me from sin Chorus: I’ve kissed the sinner’s hand I’ve drunk from the chalice of tears Still death grants my soul no rest Damned to dwell in my winterland Solo: Micke The animation of my soul Vivid images of barren plains Brought darkness into my eyes Spawned by eons of pain Chorus

Music: Goude/Johansson Lyrics: Lundberg The Angel of Mercy has broken his chain Now he’s free, relieved from the pain He was trapped in his hell, day by day Damned inexorable to fade away Chorus: Why these years of sorrow Why these years of fear Searching for a reason But the answer isn’t there Why these years of sorrow Why these years of fear Searching for a reason But in emptiness I steer Solo: Halvar Why did the Tormentor proceed so brutally? To slowly twist his neck in pure conspiracy All of his life he had to try But he couldn’t help praying to die Solo: Micke Chorus

Music: Goude/Halvarsson Lyrics: Lundberg My time has gone It won’t come again It seems so distant When... It lay ahead of me The path of life’s infinity All those years of misery Chorus: I look to the stars and watch one fall I close my eyes and pray they’ll call Can’t they see, my wish is deep All these years longing for endless sleep My time has gone It won’t come again The time of innocence When... It lay ahead of me A life of opportunity The time of ignorance When I was free Chorus Solo: Micke Chorus

Music: Andersson Lyrics: Goude/Lundberg So this is life? So this is where I’m supposed to be? Feels like I’ve locked myself in a cage And thrown away the key Can this be for real? Or is it as unreal as it seems? Won’t someone wake me up from this Killing, painful dream Chorus: I am a hollow man I live in nightmareland In my life, I am led astray Everything crumbles away At the touch of my hand Solo: Micke, Halvar I cannot sleep at night Your nails infest my bed The shreds of my best nightmare Still circle in my head Like someone really cared Like someone still believes There is no absolution No way to cleanse my sin Just another pointless void On my way to infinity Chorus

Music: Andersson/Knutar/Lundberg Lyrics: Lundberg/Goude (C) F.S. Förlag, Sweden Solo: Halvar You give us visions of paradise You tell your truths based on lies We sell our souls to turn lead into gold While you suck the marrow from our bones The marrow from bones Is this freedom that we’ve been told To perish in your world centered around your cities of gold? Your master plan now slowly unfolds To molest and steal this fair country’s soul Solo: Micke You promise pleasure, deliver pain You turn our woods into barren plains Controlled by greed, without a doubt Your system will rot from the inside out Would I sell my mother? Would I sell my land? My children’s future in your command Have you no shame, betraying the hand that fed you But now you’ll go where the devil has led you What can’t be bought, you sell without a doubt It’s not yours to spend, but how could you understand? How could you understand?
