Within or Without
(Lyrics: Johansson Music: Johansson, Nicosia) Do you remember me I’m always there when you sleep I am the one that you see When your day becomes dream I am hiding in the shadows I’m lurking in the dark I am the one that you feel When you enter the world within A world like yours but oh so cold An oath to follow in this garden foretold In here everything seems so old And there by the end of the rainbow it all shimmers like gold Do you wish your morning came Or do you want it to stay the same Would you like to leave this place Or rather disappear without a trace Solo: Johansson And when your walls start to move you are screaming in vain Your world spinning around you are returning again Come and visit my home I’m sure you’ll find the way To where darkness begins Once here, forever you’ll stay Solo: Nicosia A choir of angels welcome you home The riddle is gone to where you belong Solo: Johansson And when your walls start to move you are screaming in vain Your world spinning around you are returning again A shiver runs down your spine Fingers cold comes from behind Is this what you will feel When your day becomes dream A world like yours but oh so cold An oath to follow in this garden foretold In here everything seems so old And there by the end of the rainbow it all shimmer like gold Do you wish your morning came Or do you want it to stay the same Would you like to leave this place Or rather stay within and disappear without a trace

(Lyrics: Johansson, Andrén Music: Johansson, Nicosia) Blessed are the wicked A lifetime disgrace I hear their laughter I hear their prayers Conspiracy, no heart no mind No self esteem, no crime denied A circle takes form, aberration conform A mistake by nature am I A hollow illusion, internal confusion It's now time to stop all this cries Wayward time, infected lies What will you find within my twisted eye What will it show to your narrow mind Will I loose control, my breakdown your cry What is the chance it's you they will find Solo: Nicosia I'm so filled with pleasure, enchanted by pain My crown you'll be honoured to bear A repugnant being you'll feel my wrath Oh yes it's now my time to die A creation of evil I'm darkness itself At night you'll be sleeping Nearby I dwell Conspiracy, no heart no mind No self esteem, no crime denied Inhuman greed, instinctive deed What will you find within my twisted eye What will it show to your narrow mind Will I loose control, my breakdown your cry What is the chance you will ever be found Within my twisted eye What will it show, will it show To your narrow mind

(Lyrics & Music: Johansson) Here I am trapped, concealed away from reality The dreams that I've dreamt and the years that I've spent I'm no longer free, I'm not me The river of lust They come with mourning eyes, see them come changing form Their shadows are left behind no one can see, oh not me The river of lust Lead me to the secret, the river of lust Lead me to the vision, the one I was sent In this realm that I'm kept they tie my fear so close to me Yesterday seems far away in here I'm lost will always stay The river of lust Lead me to the secret, the river of lust Lead me to the vision, the one they was sent

(Lyrics: Andrén, Johansson Music: Nicosia, Johansson) I do know where you spend all of your time I do know why you are never there You have found a dark cold place An unknown dimension where angels cry Departure one through heavens gate A line of strangers who's left to wait Another day is yet to come There's no return to some undone Day's undone Please, don't you hear the voice of mine You're now striding on the edge of life The edge to all or nothingness Be saved by me the holy one Hear them, see them, feel them, help them solo: Nicosia / Johansson / Nicosia) The darkened sky above the clouds Are calling you to feel no doubt Just follow them until the end The past is now the strangers friend Day's undone

(Lyrics: Andrén Music:Johansson) Those coloured eyes are hypnotized Coloured eyes are hypnotized of evil that's for sure They see right through my clouded mind See right through my clouded mind and they doesn't care but me, they're controlling, demanding See my weakness, nights so sleepless Those hidden lies can be the end Hidden lies can be the end of all, doesn't care but me, they're controlling, demanding Believe in me I'm telling you Believe in me I'm telling you this is my final call Me, you, we, us, them – I'm out of trust Now, then, here, when – left all alone Who's blame for all those lies Who can hear my lonely cry I will seek in heart and soul The truth is that my name is soiled Solo: Nicosia Undress for me and tell me how Undress for me and tell me how your heart became so cold Despise yourself with words of hate Despise yourself your wicked whore, oh you doesn't care but me you controlling, demanding I'll hide my tears, disguise my fear Me, you, we, us, them – I'm out of trust Now, then, here, when – left all alone Who's blame for all those lies Who can hear my lonely cry I will seek in heart and soul The truth is that my name is soiled

(Lyrics & Music: Johansson) Left all alone, like a million times before All these tearstaines by your side left marks in your soul How long will it last, you wish to find some strength You want to leave this life of sorrow and pain When he last held your hand He said he'll never let you go He said that only angels know It's all in your memories now Only there you'll find The words of comfort, the eyes of gold That once made you glow but only hurts you now What once embraced your heart had now lost it's hold When he last held your hand He said your time would last forever When he last kissed your lips He said he'll never let you go He said that only angels know Cold shadow of guilt A desire fulfilled No easy way out Life lost it's meaning Only angels know, only angels know Lonely winter tears Nothing but the grief Take me away A wound never heals Only angels know, only angels know

(Words: Johansson Music: Nicosia) What's told in stories, what's told in tales Can turn to glory or bring decay When good and pure still fail to rise Something dark and wicked will sure arise Awaken, arise, forsaken Pushed aside and left to die Someone else will guide your life The smiling virgin will turn to stone The sleeping beauty forever mourned Your deepest fears all cast away A lesson dear is about to come your way Awaken, arise, forsaken Pushed aside and left to die Someone else will guide your life Solo: Nicosia When good and pure still fail to rise Something dark and wicked will sure arise Your deepest fears all cast away A lesson dear is about to come your way Awaken, arise, forsaken Pushed aside and left to die Someone else will guide your life

(Lyrics: Johansson Music: Oreland, Johansson) I know I've walked this way before A single step from nevermore Who is my guide, who'll take me home Who'll find the place where I belong So this is neverland So this is my homeland A place that comfort me My sanctum arised A final conflict, a mind so odd Days in sunlight been spent and gone To my shallow grave is where I long Who'll find the place where I belong So this is neverland So this is my homeland A place that comfort me My sanctum arised I'll walk this way with blinded eyes To my holy land that man despise What to everyone will seem like hell Is the place where I soon will dwell So this is neverland So this is my homeland A place that comfort me My sanctum arised Solo: Nicosia
