The Chosen Ones lyrics by Stratovarius

1. Black Diamond

BLACK DIAMOND (Music: Tolkki / Lyrics: Tolkki-Kotipelto) Again I see you standing there watching me. Your gaze, those eyes are tantalizing openly. Inviting me to get close to you, can't help myself. There's fascination in the air. I try to fight this strong sensation but there's no chance to escape from this temptation. Feels like I've known you before, repeating phrases, but I yearn for something more. I know I can't stay by your side forever, but I know I won't forget your beauty, my Black Diamond

2. Twilight Time

TWILIGHT TIME (Music: Tolkki / Lyrics: Tolkki-Lassila) Danger zone. I look into the mirror see my face again I hear myself preaching. You are getting bold, Growing old Skin turns cold. You're to blame but I will fing the way to be myself again. I break the mirror with the noise. Stop preaching me, Teaching me, Leave me be. There's no way to stop me now. My end is in sight. I reach for the light, Tonight. Twilight Time, It's twilight time. Reaching for the morning light. Twilight Time.

3. Father Time

FATHER TIME (Music: Tolkki / Lyrics: Kotipelto-Johnson) Walking down the path that lead me to my memories. Facing all the way without a care in my stride. Where are the friends of my yesterday, have they moved on with their lives. Can we still laugh and joke about things like before. There's no need to hide the past that I have left behind. It's a good resource somewhere to reach out. It shouldn't be all up to them, keeping in touch ain't that easy but I'll have to try. Where have all the years gone that's what I am asking now. What have I learned so far tell me Father Time - tell me now. Now I understand I'll take from time what I need And I store it inside it's there for me to find I can't deny that the years will pass by but it won't bother me. Coz now I will set out to realize my dream. Where have all the years gone that's what I am asking now. What have I learned so far tell me Father Time - tell me now.

4. The Hands of Time

THE HANDS OF TIME (Music: Tolkki / Lyrics: Tolkki-Lassila) The time is running. It's running so fast that you don't notice Years are passing by. And you're growing older. What happened to all your dreams? Did they become true at all. We cannot undo the deeds of the years. They leave you on your own with all your deepest fears. Don't look for the future. Don't live in the past just take it day by day 'case life goes fast. The minutes the hours the days and the years will fly so live still when you have the time. We cannot undo the deeds of the years. They leave you on your own with all your deepest fears. Wheel of the time, Turns again tonight, Eternally decides our destiny. Wheel of the time, Turns again tonight, Without reason or rhyme the hands of time.

5. Dream with Me

Music & Lyrics: Kotipelto Now it is time for you to close your eyes They´ve seen much pain it´s slowly filling your mind Pretty as they are but no so pale You better leave all your worries far behind Not long ago when you had the Fire Burning inside of you brighter than any flame You were the one that I believed in Keeping our hopes up high where are you now? Where do you aim? Let me take you there To the place you know Why don´t you Dream With Me The answers will be found Now it is time to open your eyes again See how all the sorrows have disappeared faded away I am right here waiting for your call If youstill need me to guide your pace Through the day Let me take...

6. Paradise

PARADISE (Music: Tolkki / Lyrics: Tolkki) Late at night I find myself again wondering and watching tv. I can't believe what's on the screen, something that I wouldn't like to see. Many rare species will perish soon and we'll be short on food. Why do we have to be so selfish, we've got to change our attitude. I know that I am no the only one that's worried, why don't we all wake up, and realize. Like the birds in the sky we are flying so high, without making any kind of sacrifice. We've got so little time to undo this crime or we'll lose our Paradise. It seems to me that there's no sense at all, nobody cares it's always the same. Mother nature's crying out in pain I know we're the one's to blame.

7. Out of the Shadows

OUT OF THE SHADOWS (Music: Tolkki / Lyrics:Tolkki-Lassila) Out to the light from the mist from the shadows I go. Facing the new world the odd things the places unknown. Far away, I sail away today. Seeing the new face impression the moment the thought. Unarmed and naked defendless my mind is caught. Far away, I sail away to stay. Out of the Shadows we go, There's no reason to hide anymore. Out of the Shadows we go, Into the new horizon Towards the new shore we go.

8. Forever

FOREVER (Music: Tolkki / Lyrics:Tolkki) I stand alone in the darkness. The winter of my life came so fast. Memories go back to my childhood to days I still recall. Oh how happy I was then, there was no sorrow there was no pain. Walking through the green fields sunshine in my eyes. I'm still there everywhere, I'm the dust in the wind. I'm the star in the northern sky. I never stayed anywhere I'm the wind in the trees.

9. Full Moon

Music & Lyrics: Tolkki Shining there in the sky Lights our way across the land Black clouds in front of your face Fading into the haze In this prison of mine My soul lies in despair My mind Wanders through time Tell me what is my crime What is behind velvet lies Heart as cold as the ice In this prison...

10. The Kiss of Judas

THE KISS OF JUDAS (Music: Tolkki / Lyrics: Kotipelto) I hear footsteps dosing in recognizing them from my early days. The times are different the image remains the same, repeating back flashes remembering the name, approaching visions of things. I can't recall, a familiar smile awakes the pain. Unkept promises, the night awaits, the act of confidence. The kiss of Judas haunts me once again. In your private chamber, you're all done. The well earned silver pieces falling to the floor. The flame of the candle costing movements to the wall, your eyes filled with guilt keep staring at the door.

11. S.O.S.

S.O.S. (Music: Tolkki / Lyrics: Tolkki-Kotipelto) I'm waiting for the rain now, to settle the dusty air. Clearing up my emotions. Facing it all if I dare. I've been thinking, I've been trying but I've always been denying. Wasted days are still inside of me, it's time to set them free. Why don't we see what is going on? There are not so many years to be wasted until the damage is done and the beauty is gone. Save Our Souls. What is the price that we pay? Save Our Souls. Do we have nothing to say?

12. Dreamspace

DREAMSPACE (Music: Tolkki / Lyrics:Tolkki) Looking back through time through my childhood days. I used to have a place where I could escape reality. But lately things have been so difficult for me. Trying to reach for the light, in the fall of darkness. Waiting watching my life, I'm wasting my time, I'm losing grip from life. Going back to my dreamspace leavin it all behind. Soon the things will be alright, when I get there. Am I safe in here, nothing left to fear. I will close my eyes and float away with stream. Wandering here in this eternal darkness. No signs of light anywhere. I am going insane. Now I am leaving this life, no hope left I want to die!

13. Against the Wind

AGAINST THE WIND (Music: Tolkki / Lyrics: Kotipelto) Once again I tried to make things work, facing all the power of society. Searching all the answers of the life I'll never make it on my own. Was I meant to fail every time? Seems to me that's my destiny. Is it all that's left for me, confusion and bad memories. But now my time has come, no more running in the dark. I want much more than this, I really want it all. Against the wind we run to every place under the sun. We got so much power inside we will never give up. Against the wind we go, towards the new shore. Together we forget the sorrow it's forever gone.

14. Speed of Light

SPEED OF LIGHT (Music: Tolkki / Lyrics: Kotipelto) Today is just another day of my life too short to live. I should have somekind of meaning a destiny to believe in before I go to sleep. I find some pictures of a time when everything was still so fine. Although the years have passed by. I will give it all I have inside...everything. I'm away lost in my thoughts, everyday my life goes by at the speed of Light.

15. 4000 Rainy Nights

4000 RAINY NIGHTS (Music: Tolkki / Lyrics: Tolkki) These empty days are filling me with pain. After I left it seems my life is only rain. My heart is longing to the better times. When everything was still so fine. I wonder why it happens so fast. You give your heart away knowing it might not last. I'm still here waiting for the rain to fall and to see you once again. 4000 Rainy nights, 4000 Rainy nights I'd be with you, 4000 Rainy nights with you. I keep your memory in my heart, you give me hope when everything is so dark. That thing nobody can take away, forever in me 4000 Rainy nights, 4000 Rainy nights I'd be with you, 4000 Rainy nights with you.

16. Will the Sun Rise?

WILL THE SUN RISE? (Music: Tolkki / Lyrics: Kotipelto) Throwing my dreams out of my mind casting them into the sky. Canceling tasks I've delayed for so long now it's do or die. I can't be seen I can't be heard but I am here and I am wondering. Will the sun rise tomorrow will it light up my sky. Can I wake up with no sorrow awaiting. Will the sun Rise tomorrow, will I still see the dawn and not worry 'bout the future at all. At the end of each day I promise myself, I'd better start to live. Coz sooner or later I'll find out there's so much I can give. I can't be seen I can't be heard but I am here and I am wondering. Will the sun rise tomorrow will it light up my sky Can I wake up with no sorrow awaiting. Will the sun Rise tomorrow, will I still see the dawn and not worry 'bout the future at all.
