Album • 2002
Music: Per Wiberg/Michael Amott Lyrics: Per Wiberg Street fighting saviours Flashes down the street Got my mind on the favours Damn hard to make ends meet Way above the action Next to a liars mind Trying to build some attraction I guess it’s hard to find Don’t take it for granted - I can see through you Ain’t got the answers - But I got plans for you Don’t take it for granted - I can see through you I came empty handed - But I’m never falling through Shivers down my backbone Need to hitch a ride Spaced out and on my own Sometimes it’s hard to hide

Music: Michael Amott Lyrics: Michael Amott You’ve been down this road before Heard this story a thousand times or more With a cynical bitter stare You watch your life go by…bye, bye A young man With an old soul Open your mind Don’t close that door No matter how high you climb It’s never high enough Can’t enjoy the moment, no Never satisfied with what you got

Music: Ludwig Witt/Michael Amott Lyrics: Michael Amott Crawling on my knees Fumbling in the dark Turning wheel of fate Keeps spinning I’ve seen ‘em come and go Got the staying power But I got nothing to show How my life turned out to be A rhyme without reason A self fulfilling prophecy Killing time Don’t know what I’m doing Killing time Searching for that something Killing time… Back on my knees again Life’s a losing game This wheel of fate Keeps on spinning

Music: Michael Amott Lyrics: Michael Amott Seeing is believing Or so they say But who’s to judge What’s real anyway? I know it’s fake So get off your high horse You’d rather have this dream Than your tears and heartaches I’m sorry But I can’t help you I’m really sorry But I’m busy chasing fools gold It’s always been this way I gotta ride my own wave Can’t intellectualise There’s no compromise I’m not like you I can only be me And that’s something You never quite figured out

Music: Michael Amott Lyrics: Michael Amott Been ploughing the dark Seeking shelter in hell Where evil dwells The more you saw The less you believed…the less you believed Casting pearls before swine They could never see. They could not bleed Decadence rules divine In this sick and twisted world we call home You’ll see… See another mountain Calling your name Another way to wander All the things you thought wrong, all the things you thought right No longer carved in stone These wounds from the past Will follow you As long as you let them last The rising of the sun Is seen by everyone Black feathers… Black Feathers at dawn

Music: Michael Amott Lyrics: Michael Amott Always there to gloat Revel in your failure Echo in your head A familiar voice I am the clown in the mirror The part of you, you hate Never far away Just there… Beneath the skin You sold your soul to me A long, long time ago Your own insecurity Made me your master

Music: Michael Amott Lyrics: Michael Amott Moving… At a frantic pace Super fluid… So graceful Dreaming the reality It’s magical Thunder, fire and rain The dance dragon king Mesmerised… As fate has its way Relentless… The art of death

Music: Michael Amott Lyrics: Michael Amott Rising up -I’ve had enough of Your lying and backstabbing Who wants to listen? Who wants to know? You got a problem and you let it show I’m no fool -I see through you Pitiful, that’s what you are You don’t know me, you never did And you sure as hell never will now The things you say behind my back Distorted view of a jealous mind A jealous mind can be excused But who are you…who are you to judge me? So you never believed in me… To tell you the truth I never thought much of you… Telling all tall tales Makes you feel good (makes you look bad) But that black tongue Is dragging you down

Music: Michael Amott Lyrics: Michael Amott Demon rising slowly Or is it all in my mind? A reflection twisted He knows me all too well A face in the mirror A man I do not know Hopes and aspirations A thousand broken promises Fear is growing slowly It’s drowning - killing my soul Waiting, contemplating The demon is reborn

Music: Michael Amott Lyrics: Janne Christoffersson No underhanded lies Better look me in the eyes Speak the truth if you are still my friend ‘Cause I won’t be fooled By any calculated tries Better change your plan Or take your final bow Look back I never look back To make me stick around You have to compromise It’s a give and take You gotta share the crown ‘Cause I won’t be hooked By any mystifying lines Watch me stand alone Like I always have
