1. Dusk...
Music: Ablaze My Sorrow


2. The Truth Is Sold
Music: Carlsson/Linden/Ablaze My Sorrow
Lyrics; Linden
++++++++++++++++++++
Your world does not seem too fetching
Nor your way to live your life
So routine and so honest
It would not hurt with some lies

It is time to cast aside your chains
Let's hide your fears and let things change

No cruelty and no hatred
No anger, never depressed
No time for satisfaction
No time to lay down to rest

Do not believe the lie
The lie that you have been told
They say it is the truth
But the truth is sold

It is time to cast aside your chains
Let's hide your fears and let things change

Your world does not seem too fetching
Nor your way to live your life
So routine and so honest
It would not hurt with some lies

No cruelty and no hatred
No anger, never depressed
No time for satisfaction
No time to lay down to rest

Do not believe the lie
The lie that you have been told
They say it is the truth
But the truth is sold


3. Into The Land Of Dreams
Music: Carlsson/Linden/Ablaze My Sorrow
Lyrics: Brorsson
++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Close your eyes and fall asleep
And I will guide you to my kingdom
A place where we will unite
When the day turns to night

Join me - fly with me - into the land of dreams
We will walk through archways of solid gold
We will swim in lakes of wine
Fly with me - into the land of dreams
Join me - fly with me - into the land of dreams
We will walk through archways of solid gold
We will swim in lakes of wine
Join me - fly with me - forever - dreaming

In a world without limitations
Where worlds are heard but never spoken
Where reality becomes unreal
Join me - into my dreams

Close your eyes and fall asleep
And I will guide you to my kingdom
A place where we will unite
When the day turns to night

Join me - fly with me - into the land of dreams
We will walk through archways of solid gold
We will swim in lakes of wine
Fly with me - into the land of dreams
Join me - fly with me - into the land of dreams
We will walk through archways of solid gold
We will swim in lakes of wine
Join me - fly with me - forever - dreaming

In a world without limitations
Let your fantasies become real
On a trip far from life
Join me - into my dream


4. Mournful Serenade
Music:Carlsson/Ablaze My Sorrow
Lyrics: Brorsson
++++++++++++++++++++
Remember your carress so gentle
Remember your kiss so delightful
With tears running down my cheek
I sit here alone wondering - why?

Sing with me - this song of love so pure
Sing with me - this mournful serenade
Sing with me - this song of love so pure
Sing with me - this mournful serenade

The pain inside me is unbearable
My love for you stronger than ever
Why this sunf=dden departure
Why did you decide to end your own life

Sing with me - this song of love so pure
Sing with me - this mournful serenade
Sing with me - this song of love so pure
Sing with me - this mournful serenade

With the moon as my only light
I stare at the picture of you
With one shot I ended my life
So that we forever will be united


5. The Return Of The Mighty Raven
Music: Carlsson/Ablaze My Sorrow
Lyrics: Brorsson
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
In a time long forgotten by man
When our ground still belonged to us
Our ancestors fought your armies
With swords in our hands

In a time when the northmen stood proud
Ina time when the northmen stood proud
Hear the thunderstorm as it roar
As you are approaching the final war

Our time will soon be here
The time when we will strike back
With swords in our hands
And strenght in our hearts

Prepare the return of the mighty raven...

In a time when the northmen stood proud
Ina time when the northmen stood proud
Hear the thunderstorm as it roar
As you are approaching the final war

When lightning strikes the sky
Your death is closing in 
As heaven starts to cry
There is no way you can win

Prepare th return of the mighty raven...


6. I Will Be Your God
Music: Carlsson/Linden/Ablaze My Sorrow
Lyrics: Linden
+++++++++++++++++++++
What do you expect to see
The victory of humanity?
Your troops are only here and there
I am everywhere

You can burn it and pray that it dies
But it never just rests a while

You will be the victim of my game
You will be enslaved
Forever vanguished
Forever my slaves

I will build a mountain of skulls
And a castle of pain
I will build a throne of blood
You will be my slaves

I will build a mountain of skulls
And a castle of pain
I will build a throne of blood
I will be your god

What do you expect to see
The victory of humanity?
Your troops are only here and there
I am everywhere

I will build a mountain of skulls
And a castle of pain
I will build a throne of blood
You will be my slaves

I will build a mountain of skulls
And a castle of pain
I will build a throne of blood
I will be your god

You will be the victim of my game
You will be enslaved
Forever vanguished
Forever my slaves


7. Plague Of Mine
Music: Carlsson/Linden/Ablaze My Sorrow
Lyrics: Brorsson
+++++++++++++++++
A voyage through time and eternity
Through sorrows, grief and pain
This fucking life - this fucking pain
An eternal plague of mine

This fucking life - this fucking pain
An eternal plague of mine

I soar in this level between life and death
Not knowing where I am heading
This total silence, this total calm
Makes me wanna die

This fucking life - this fucking pain
An eternal plague of mine

Eternal death is calling my name
The world below awaits me
My life finally laid to rest
The world below awaits me

I soar in this level between life and death
Not knowing where I am heading
This total silence, this total calm
Makes me wanna die

Eternal death is calling my name
The world below awaits me
My life finally laid to rest
The world below awaits me

A voyage through time and eternity
Through sorrows, grief and pain
This fucking life - this fucking pain
An eternal plague of mine

This fucking life - this fucking pain
An eternal plague of mine


8. As the Dove Falls Torn Apart
Music: Carlsson/Linden/Ablaze My Sorrow
Lyrics: Linden
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Hear thes sounds of war, it is coming, it is here
The dove of peace falls torn apart

We will not go quietly into the night
We will not vanish without a fight

Never - go into the night
Never - vanish without a fight

Unleash my fire, unleash my hell
To make you suffer, to bring you pain
Unleash my fire, my inner hell
If you will fight me, you will fight in vain

Watch the ashes scatter in the wind
As the dove of peace falls torn apart

Your flame has ceased, you will pass away
A dismal moment, not for me
Spread out the fire, sread out the pain
A total desolation, I feel complete

Hear thes sounds of war, it is coming, it is here
The dove of peace falls torn apart

The war is here, the dove falls torn apart

Unleash my fire, unleash my hell
To make you suffer, to bring you pain
Unleash my fire, my inner hell
If you will fight me, you will fight in vain

Your flame has ceased, you will pass away
A dismal moment, not for me
Spread out the fire, sread out the pain
A total desolation, I feel complete


9. Suicide
Music:Carlsson/Linden/Ablaze My Sorrow
Lyrics: Linden
++++++++++
Is this just a preparation
For what is soon to come?
Another life might be waiting
For me to enter the tomb

I am not the only one
I am dying to find out
I want my life to rest
Solution suicide

I am not the only one
I am dying to find out
I want my life to rest
Solution suicide

This life is filled with ignorance
We are all born to die
No one knows what is to come
No one can see beyond life and time

Enter the realm of death
Sacrifice your life
To fill the emptiness
With knowledge from the other side

I am not the only one
I am dying to find out
I want my life to rest
Solution suicide

I am not the only one
I am dying to find out
I want my life to rest
Solution suicide
