Number nine out of eleven little littermates
Rotten apples, all the way...
Littermates, all with different fates...
Taught them almost all I knew
and now, the best, the primus
Number Nine of eleven little littermates,
feeling almighty,
is after my throne.

In the bright daylight, little Number Nine
Dressed to kill, much like me
Takes a look at the free world behind the gate
Of a castle and escapes.
1:03
I leave the baits, the night awaits
Snare well hidden for the littermate.
Evaded all but one, one by one.
1:11
Eleven little littermates
Annihilate.
Only Number Nine's not in sight...
Hiding, for the moonlight eats the day
Kisses burn the paperthin wings away
1:47.
Hate me, hate me, if they want you to break me
Love ? is ? for - the weak
And the restless, relief in the end.
A broken lock and a twisted dream
1:56
for an early tomb, destiny's overruled
Trailed it back to the Pagan Cathedral."
2:03
Don?t love me, don?t you dare!
I lie, I cheat and I don?t care
Don't you go telling me tales about fidelity.
truth ain't safe with me
2:13
In (sane), in (pain)
Ran into a needle
Eye (love), Eye (hate)
don?t need anyone
Lights (on), Lights (out)
read it loud and clear...
and hear the lion roar.
without my eyes, they failed me,
knots untied.
I turned my weakness into a
fine profession
more I hear, more I see
I can feel
the path I choose
What I did was a must,
Faced the music, away from the light, alone...
Without a view.
Someone thought to know me well
Drowned me in a wishing well...
Making mistakes, we all do,
Worst of mine was trusting in a stranger.
For now I'm feeling fine
Drank poison, liked the sign
Now touch the greatest fear
Impaired, to look sincere.
One step behind you, turn around and I am gone with what I need.
The essense of timely death, cold and dark, Love Less Hard.
My Dream's But A Drop Of Fuel For A Nightmare
(Tony Kakko)
My painted face, I'm a clown,
and I'm laughing while my dream turns into a nightmare,
fade away, I'm asleep,
not too deep...
The walls of night have left me scarred
the broken glass I stepped on, twice.
the ardent spirits' rusty edge, decapitate me...
I can't sleep, fear darkness
go through the motions, did I fall asleep?
I'm bowling, the old nine pin, a sign unwanted...
Now I'm a target, I'm hot and frozen,
stormy rain I'm stuck in an elevator
wet from the muddy water,
breathing hot air, winds convey me...
bababababaaaa...
the number talks and I cry in my own Hell...
bababababaaaa...
Wide awake, I'm asleep, see a friend as a ghost
I'm skating with a seal,
the tarantula, the fly, the broken ring
the dusty little flea
an ugly giant, a disappointed child
here comes a rabid snake
the broken violin, a wild ballet
Shakespeare and company
refuse to kill the kitten scratching me...
I'm falling, I'm falling, I'm falling, I'm falling... - awake
You know, if you believe the dreams, the nightly visions, worlds entwined
then you also fear your shadow, paranoia, part two...
All the good things in my life dwell in my mind
Took a wrong lane, every day, I hear myself say
Sickening's this feeling, my life, my hopes, my dream's but a drop of fuel for a nightmare
they all turn out the same
My destiny, my flame
believing is control?
no.
the painting comes alive,
takes me inside a world without a name, a place beyond compare
Believe the dreams that let you sleep
the broken glass you need to sweep
The book you read; if you found an explanation
to help you in any way,
you are your own prison.
Woke up today,
the good and the bad and the ugly dreams are gone
...jumped off the carousel
