Memory Garden
Album • 2008
Music: A. Looström, S. Johansson, T. Björn, D. Swanö Lyrics: A. Looström, S. Berglund We're selling death today No bargain time to pay The world has frozen in time And I take place in line Impatience burns in me Curious of what to find Downward into silence Downward into hell If you got a soul, a soul to sell So go and throw a coin, a coin in the wishing well Welcome to the carnage carnival The beginning of our own nightfall At the carnage carnival We're selling pain today Evilution is here to stay The world burns in flames And the only thing that remains Is the fact that nothing is sacred So please take place in line Downward into silence Downward into hell If you got a soul, a soul to sell So go and throw a coin, a coin in the wishing well Welcome to the carnage carnival The beginning of our own nightfall At the carnage carnival A merry go round without sound Flaming red eyes burn hole in the night, a need to kill is their light A tightrope dance at the edge, at the edge of the world I am wrapped up in fear, the nightmare is here again I am wrapped up in fear Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to our carnage carnival Throw a coin in the wishing well and I'll send you straight to Hell Welcome... Hell comes... Welcome... Hell comes Welcome to the carnage carnival The beginning of our own nightfall At the carnage carnival Hell comes to the carnage carnival The beginning of our own nightfall At the carnage carnival A merry go round without sound

Music: A. Looström, S. Johansson, T. Björn Lyrics: A. Looström, S. Berglund My heart ignored the moment I'm lost in the air where I bleed You bring eternal torment In my imagination I'm still where I want to be Reality unleash the darkness I will see Another day is dawning To bring the veil that I need My soul is still in mourning Suffering indeed In dreams I see my future I find it hard to believe I'm bound to follow you Forever I will grieve I can see the world is turning To the bitter end I can feel you crawling underneath my skin I believe you feel the hate I feel for you I can see the world is turning To the bitter end When I've reached the day of quickening And my days on earth will end There's no use to feel sorrow My mortal soul will be condemned Now I can see it clearer, I have told myself a lie In my redeeming moments, I prepare myself to die

Music: A. Looström, S. Johansson, T. Björn Lyrics: S. Johansson, T. Björn, S. Berglund, Anders Looström I've lived through a million dreams I breathe at night and vanish with the light I've found places of forgotten legends I've drunk the water from the very first well Can't still the never ending thirst Nothing is what it seems, nothing is what it seems I've searched for pleasures and gold I can tell the tales that never should be told, never should be told Now I'm sitting here all alone waiting to get old My restless soul is slowly getting cold Drink with me, I'll tell you the secrets within I am the bringer of lust, the deceiver foretold I'll make you long for your time to come Prepare for what you'll see I've searched for pleasures and gold I can tell the tales that never should be told, never should be told Now I'm sitting here all alone waiting to get old My restless soul is slowly getting cold

Music: T. Björn Lyrics: T. Björn, S. Berglund Waking up, to what might be A pleasant and fun memory The darkest hour, will be my time I'm only a few steps behind A madman's work, to the naked eye Frustration, one by one they die The worship of beauty's just feeding my flame The ugly ones taking the blame Hiding in the shadows The Beast within the man I witness my perfection And relive it all again People in panic, a preacher so manic Declare evil has come, from hell The truth is you should be grateful I'm cleaning this filthy world up Descend once again into morbid depression You'll never hear my confession People in panic, a preacher so manic Declare evil has come... Hiding in the shadows The Beast within the man I witness my perfection And relive it all again

Music: A. Looström, S. Johansson, T. Björn Lyrics: A. Looström - Inspired and adapted by the poem Memento Mori written by Dan Andersson Brother, when our painful years Has rumbled away in the distance And our last goblet has calmed us all to death We saw Satan behind a crack in the clouds With a heart full of songs, with a heart full of songs for lust and whore Our trembling souls will be judge by our lord Then our thirsty flesh is eaten by worms Do we remember the anguish in happiness? Do we remember fear of living? Hidden behind the shadows of fear We laughed at the stupid ones And again we raised a filled goblet Though even in the kingdom of death Fields are filled with carnation And with happiness we danced With every harlot at the jesters ball Our trembling souls will be judge by our lord Then our thirsty flesh is eaten by worms Do we remember the anguish in happiness? Do we remember fear of living? Harps with ornaments, jewels and gold We will be forgiven our sins

Music: Memory Garden, R. Gustafsson Lyrics: R. Gustafsson Embrace the darkness and light will grow inside of you Enjoy the sadness - In a time of sorrow, joy will do I keep on dreaming of good and evil every night And for a moment the dreams become my guiding light I'm led astray by anger - I look inside for clues I'm lost within my own mind - I've lost the right to choose It cannot go much faster, but still the speed increase There is no use to fight it - I fall onto my knees What's the point, what will we learn, how do we know which way to go We've passed the point of no return how do we know which way to go Our precious values were lost along this winding road We feed the fire - not aware it will soon explode A lifeless face stares back at mine in every mirror I see no trace of what the future has in store A deadly race heading straight Into the deep oblivion I stand amazed and wonder What's behind the door? What's the point, what will we learn, how do we know which way to go We've passed the point of no return we have to ask ourselves Do we really want to know, do we really want to know?
Music: A. Looström, S. Johansson, T. Björn, S. Berglund Lyrics: A. Looström, S. Berglund, T. Björn For so many nights I have been waiting for my shadow land And to many years I have been yearning Come take my hand So many times I have been waiting for these magic words I'm longing for you won't you come back to me... Back to hell I'm begging for darkness to take me away To where I contort in dismay The silence is louder when no one's around The relics of me won't be found In so many dreams I'm always falling down Falling so fast Don't look behind cause there is nothing there Nothing to see For the first time I have realized, grief is my shadow I'm begging for darkness to take me away To where I contort in dismay The silence is louder when no one's around The relics of me won't be found I carry on the struggle within, an everlasting battle Angels and demons are marching with me, my only true companions A stream of light came over me now I am burning please set me free To hell with it and all of you I am condemned and so are you Undo my chains I have suffered enough Enough for a lifetime I hear them screaming in my head and I know The priest has arrived to read me my last rites I'm begging for darkness to take me away To where I contort in dismay The silence is louder when no one's around The relics of me won't be found

Music: A. Looström, S. Johansson, T. Björn Lyrics: S. Berglund, A. Looström Who's inside my head? Am I alive or dead? My alter ego haunts me Only my nightmares set me free Deep inside my darkest dream I see you torn to pieces Beg for mercy, cry for help Screaming out in pain and endless fear A silhouette that want to play The whispering pain won't go away I try so hard to stay in control Still I can't, my sick mind is my tool Deep inside my darkest dream I see you torn to pieces Beg for mercy, cry for help Screaming out in pain and endless fear

Music: T. Björn, S. Johansson Lyrics: T. Björn I'm not alone, there's something else inside my home From within the walls shadows crawl out as darkness falls No place to hide, I've learned from all the times I tried In this midnight hour, horrors has got me devoured The slithering steps down the stairs Raises my whole army of neck hairs The frowzy stench hit my face I greet the morning far in the haze Paralyzed with bloodshot eyes I clearly recall my mother's lies There's no ghost or entity Just say your prayers and you will see The preludes over, time for this morbid show It bring some friends up from below One's missing body and one's missing head I'm forced to watch the dance of the dead How can I do penance, and for what I wonder? What did I do to awake this evil from its slumber? In this infested hellhole, I'm forever bound to stay These ungodly beings that lacerates my reason won't let me get away Paralyzed with bloodshot eyes I clearly recall my mother's lies There's no ghost or entity Just say your prayers and you will see There's no ghost or entity I clearly recall my mother's lies Paralyzed with bloodshot eyes I say my prayers and wait for another night

Music: Memory Garden, D. Swanö Lyrics: S. Johansson I try to be the one to show you the way From all of the lies that's eating you up from inside Come, don't be afraid. Let's hide from the day You cannot deny the path we must take to survive We're at the dawn of a new day We're at the dawn of eternal decay We see the coming of fire No one believe that this is the end of the world End of the world, of the world This is the end of our civilization, it dies End of the world, of the world This is the end of the world I carry on with my battle, trying to get out of this pain Avoid all the cruel deeds of madness Our struggles might all be in vain Praying for something to carry me back to the light Praying for someone to take me to hell, to hell and back again Promises broken, promises broken again Darken my soul, oh father of darkness Out of control, oh father of darkness Is this just a massive illusion? Is this just a taste of a bitter charade? Am I at the end of my journey? Will the preachers find me again? Life's so full of expressions Its tragedies might seem so obscene Left of it now are just fragments Keeping my heart within the dark It feels like I am trapped within a dream What evil awoke the terror revealed for my eyes? I hope that what I see is not for real I can not believe that this is the end of the world End of the world, of the world This is the end of our civilization, it dies End of the world, of the world This is the end of the world End of the world, of the world
