​
1. Take Your Fear
(Music: A. Dahlström, F. Rasmusson - Lyrics: W. Bergbacka)
​
​"A new wave is rising
and from the war within us
The Darkness unfolds..."
​
[Verse 1:]
Behold the last solution
It's still the one with blood
There is no better option
Just let the river flow
​
Cause the structure has been broken
And nothing is built to last
I feel it coming closer
The times are changing fast
​
[Pre-Chorus:]
There's no cure, no resolution
Filled with fear, your spirit suffers
Forget the haven, it's an illusion
This disease is terminal
​
[Verse 2:]
Down from the demon sky
To crush the last of you,
And the last you have to give
Will start to fade, then perish
​
Come see it through my eyes
Come see it from my perspective
And one day you'll detect
How it tears to be reflective
​
[Chorus:]
Do you still believe that I'm perfect?
While waiting, for the great collapse
Through oblivion and back;
I will bring, the end of all
​
[Pre-Chorus:]
The thoughts you have consumes your soul
And makes you want, to rip your flesh, off
Your spirit suffers, from your mind
This disease is terminal
​
[Verse 3:]
So praise the new conclusion
In darkness you'll discover
That your mind is getting weaker
And soon this will be over
​
This is the last solution
This is the one with blood
This is the only option
Now let the river flow
​
Just let the river flow
​
​
2. Down Through the Gardens
(Music: F. Rasmusson - Lyrics: W. Bergbacka)
​[Verse 1:]
Now when it is over
The last judgement falls
In the trail of the dead
We follow, their burning trace
​
Here, in the stench of death
We travel, with blinded eyes
In darkness, forward and towards
Our final, destination
​
[Chorus:]
Down through the gardens, where the statues are crying
Hollow yet aware, the blood drips from their dead eyes
Forever they will dwell here, forever they will judge
The atrocities of man, the lost miracle of life
​
[Verse 2:]
Onward on, we hail the night
Eternal torment, endless pain
And you will get what you deserve
Inside the wailing walls of sorrow
​
Here, At the Gates
of your burning resting place
You will find no peace of mind
Now, reap what you've sown
​
[Chorus:]
Down through the gardens, where the statues are crying
Hollow yet aware, the blood drips from their dead eyes
Forever they will dwell here, forever they will judge
The atrocities of man, the lost miracle of life
[Solo: A. Jagfeldt]
​
[Last Chorus:]
All your fears, relinquished
The path becomes so clear
As the melody of death
Will triumph everything
​
​
3. The Mirror of Tragedy
(Music: F. Rasmusson - Lyrics: W. Bergbacka)
​
​[Verse 1:]
A silent cry, a whisper in the night
The coming of our tide, soon it all will be washed away!
What have we become? Do we need morality?
I am standing all alone, at the edge of insanity!
​
[Chorus:]
Take me back, to where it all makes sense!
To the anguish, to the grief
That I somehow now understand!
Who am I? Make me see myself again!
Let me look, one more time
In the mirror of tragedy!
​
[Verse 2:]
Against these walls, I scream in the dark
I wish you could hear me, cause there’s still so much left to say
Take a look around, where is all the light?
A dead flower is all, that is left!
​
[Chorus:]
Take me back, to where it all makes sense!
To the anguish, to the grief
That I somehow now understand!
Who am I? Make me see myself again!
Let me look, one more time
In the mirror of tragedy!
​
Don’t take me back! I don’t care if it all makes sense!
All the anguish and the grief
I don’t want to understand!
Who I am, don’t make me see myself again!
Don’t want to look, don’t want to know
Please break the mirror of tragedy!
​
[Solo: F. Rasmusson]
​
[Last Chorus:]
Don’t take me back! I don’t care if it all makes sense!
All the anguish and the grief
I don’t want to understand!
Who I am, don’t make me see myself again!
Don’t want to look, don’t want to know
Please break this mirror of tragedy!
​
​
4. Truth Unfolds
(Music & Lyrics: W. Bergbacka)
​
​[Verse 1:]
I have come to terms, I have realized
I know what I am, I am what you made me!
You won't get away, you will get what you deserve
You brought this on yourself, see the destroyer rise!
​
[Chorus:]
Behold the end, no place to run
All hope is gone, there is nothing left
Behold the end, no place to hide
The world explodes, right in your hands
​
[Verse 2:]
I've opened up my eyes; see the world for what it is!
And there’s nothing worth to save, all you love shall burn!
I have never claimed, to be all that you want
And I can never be; all that you wish for!
​
[Chorus x2:]
Behold the end, no place to run
All hope is gone, there is nothing left
Behold the end, no place to hide
The world explodes, right in your hands
​
[Break:] x2
TO HELL - with all you say
TO HELL - with all your lies
TO HELL - with you as well
TO HELL - with the whole world
​
[Verse3:]
Now the truth unfolds, and all is coming over me
What you once provoked, will rise to tear apart your world
Now the truth unfolds, I have come to set you free
The beast that you awoke, destroyer of all things you love!
​
[Chorus:]
Behold the end, no place to run
All hope is gone, there is nothing left
Behold the end, no place to hide
The world explodes, right in your hands
​
[Last Chorus x2:]
All is gone!
Nothing's left!
The world explodes!
Right in your hands!
​
​
5. Lionheart
​
(Music: F. Rasmusson - Lyrics: W. Bergbacka)
​
​[Verse 1:]
Here he comes to claim the throne, the rightful heir, the old King’s son
See the Warrior arise, victory over demise
[Chorus:]
The Lion’s blood that runs in me, it’s time for you to see
The one who stands the storm alone
The rightful heir to the throne
Hammer high, towards the sky
The world shall hear the battle cry
The time is now, by strength defined, descend the Lion's bloodline
It's in my blood, my destiny
No defeat, no retreat
The Lionheart shall lead the way
Our new king will arise today
[Verse 2:]
I am here to claim my throne, with all the rights, as the old King’s son
Lead the Warriors of ice, victorious, immortalized
[Chorus:]
The Lion’s blood that runs in me, it’s time for you to see
The one who stands the storm alone
The rightful heir to the throne
Hammer high, towards the sky
The world shall hear my battle cry
The time is now, by strength defined, descend the Lion's bloodline
It's in my blood, my destiny
No defeat, no retreat
My Lionheart shall lead the way
A new king will arise today
[3rd:]
I have come to prove myself and blaze the trail of my father’s name
My charge to keep, by blood I'm bound, to conquer every battleground
Progress made, before excuse, the world is mine to rule
[Chorus:]
The Lion's blood that runs in me, it's time for you to see
That I will stand the storm alone
The rightful heir to the throne
The Lionheart will lead the way
Your new king will arise today
[Last Chorus:]
The Lion's blood that runs in me, it's time for you to see
It's in my blood, my destiny
There's no defeat, no retreat
My lionheart shall lead the way
As new king, see me rise today
I was born, with Lions blood
I was born, a Lionheart

(Music: W. Bergbacka)
​
​"Push... Push...
War! War!"
​
​
7. The Light Will Rape Us All
​
(Music: F. Rasmusson - Lyrics: W. Bergbacka)
​
​[Verse 1:]
A threatful whisper, lays the foundation
Of a new build, where I’m all!
Chaotic nightmares, progenies of the flesh
An omen of what lies ahead!
​
[Pre-Chorus 1:]
You don’t see, but you believe
In dreadful light, and heresy
The words you heed, won’t justify
The acts of greed; as darkness rise!
​
[Verse 2:]
A flaming rage, of deceit that feeds
On all and everything between!
I am all you fear, yet all you need
But I will remain unseen!
​
[Chorus:]
The light will rape us all!
Sacrifice your life, to find what lies behind
The words that binds your soul
The light will rape us all!
​
[Pre-Chorus 2:]
Do you think, it’s justified
To enslave and conquer, your own kind?
With every threat of great disaster
Your hollowness, shows even faster!
​
[Spoken:]
Sacrifice your life, to find what lies behind
The words that binds your soul
The light will rape us all!
​
[Last Chorus:]
You sacrificed your life
To serve what’s in your mind
Cause nothing binds your soul
Yet light will rape us all
​
The light will rape us all!
​
​
8. My Journey Ends Within
​
(Music: F. Rasmusson - Lyrics: W. Bergbacka)
​
[Verse 1:]
Can I ever break this curse? Is there any remedy?
Why am I the one to blame? Why am I your enemy?
All of your poisoned words; your venom fills my veins
I’m done with your abuse; I am now you enemy!
[Pre-Chorus 1:]
But I begin to lose control, I give in to agony
Cause nothing’s what it used to be (and) soon I’m lost to apathy!
When I have lost it all; give myself to the agony
(Please) Don’t try to set me free, (cause) I am lost to apathy!
[Verse 2:]
The battle rages on, a war inside my head
When heart and sense collide, there will be no clarity!
I fight against myself, in a war I cannot win
Lost to insanity, I embrace calamity!
[Pre-Chorus 2:]
I refuse to take control, cause I know how this will end
Internal war takes its toll and soon I’m lost to apathy
Have I finally lost it all? Is this all that I’m meant to be?
In the end there is no peace, cause I’m already lost to apathy!
[Chorus:]
I KNOW THIS IS; How my journey will end!
This tragedy; it ends within!
I KNOW THIS IS; The end of a dream!
THIS IS ALL; My Journey Ends Within!
GO!
[Pre-Chorus 3:]
How come you never learn? How come your heart still yearns?
This is all we’ll ever be, you let it end with agony!
How come I never learn? How come my heart still burns?
You’re everything that I define; as cause and reason for these lines!
[Chorus:]
I KNOW THIS IS; How my journey will end!
This tragedy; it ends within!
I KNOW THIS IS; The end of a dream!
THIS IS ALL; My Journey Ends Within!
Lie for lie; I believed it all! Mile for mile; thought I would never fall!
Bend or break; did everything for you! Blood for blood; until everything is gone!
[Chorus x2:]
​
​
9. Insanity Unleashed
​
(Music: F. Rasmusson - Lyrics: W. Bergbacka)
​
​[Verse 1:]
Rising like a tidal wave, and with time comes only pain
Keep digging, this will be your grave
No rest, no peace for the insane!
​
[Chorus:]
Further down the spiral goes
The lies that shines, the truth that dies
Detect, neglect and don’t reflect
Just close your eyes and pretend that you’re perfect
​
[Verse 2:]
Take me home because I want to leave
This labyrinth of distorted dreams
Oh anger, guide me through
Please show me the way, and what to do!
​
[Chorus:]
So tell me, what do you prefer?
The silence or the spoken words?
All horrors will soon be revealed
Because time won’t heal what you conceal
Further down the spiral goes
The lies that shines, the truth that dies
Detect, neglect and don’t reflect
Just close your eyes and pretend that you’re perfect
​
[Break:]
Filled with hate and no regrets
Still in denial, lost in the depths
The sea of lies, becomes your tomb
And by your grave, your debt is paid
​
We have lost it all, we have lost it all
​
All we are and all we have;
It means nothing when we die
All you were and all you had
It means nothing when you’re gone
​
[Chorus:]
So tell me, what do you prefer?
The silence or the spoken words?
All horrors will soon be revealed
Because time won’t heal what you conceal
​
Further down the spiral goes
The lies that shines, the truth that dies
Detect, neglect and don’t reflect
Just close your eyes and pretend that you’re perfect
​
[Last Chorus:]
You paint the world in red and black as every memory takes you back!
Let go of hope, embrace your fear because time won’t heal the wounds you wear
Further down the spiral goes; the lies that shines, the truth that dies!
Detect, neglect and don’t reflect; open your eyes, you’re far from perfect!
​
​
10. All It Takes
​
(Music: F. Rasmusson, A. Dahlström - Lyrics: W. Bergbacka)
​
​[Verse 1:]
To war, again! To face both blood and pain
Will name be told; as my bravery unfolds?
Through storms of snow and ice, to fight back this demise
Undefeated to the grave; our legacy, sealed on this day
​
[Pre-Chorus 1:]
I promise I'll be fine! This last fight will define
How our proud history, forever speaks of victory!
​
[Chorus:]
With a gun held in my hand - I will defend our land
All we love, all that is ours - It is worth to fight and die for!
​
[Spoken:]
Our enemies will soon behold, the power of the winter’s cold!
​
[Verse 2:]
We served and we defended! Our deeds will be remembered
When we are dead and gone, you won’t forget all that we've done!
​
[Pre-Chorus 2:]
Our moral amplified! Remember how we died!
Let's make the history, tell of our victory!
​
[Chorus:]
With a gun held in my hand - I will defend our land
All we love, all that is ours - It is worth to fight and die for!
​
[Spoken:]
Our enemies shall soon behold, the power of the winter’s cold!
Our vengeance will be furious, because war is always merciless!
​
[Acoustic:]
With a gun held in my hand - I will defend our land
All we love, all that is ours - It is worth to fight and die for!
One last stand and soon we’re gone, I won't be coming home
Because our freedom's not for sale! And one day you'll hear our tale!
​
[Stick:]
Our thousand lakes! All it takes!
Our legacy, will soon be complete! And there will be, no retreat!
Thousand lakes! All it takes!
So sing, our song! The day, when we are gone!
​
[Pre-Chorus 3:]
The moral amplified! In the snow we fought and died!
Through the ages the history, will speak of victory!
​
[Chorus:]
With a gun held in my hand! Sworn to defend our land!
All we love, all that is ours! It is worth to fight and die for!
​
[Last Chorus:]
One last stand and soon we’re gone! We won't be coming home!
Our freedom is not for sale! And one day you will hear our tale!
​
​
11. Punishment of Life
​
(Music: F. Rasmusson - Lyrics: W. Bergbacka)
​
​[Verse 1:]
Empty and hollow, I've suffered so long
This piece is too tragic, wish I could be strong
But the void inside me grows
With, each, breath
​
For everything that must come to an end
For all of you who've been through the same
For the life that we made, then somehow just lost
There is no return... We're dying!
​
[Chorus 1:]
There is no point in asking me why
The ghost of your past is here and alive
Still haunting you, until the end of time
Affecting your mind and making you blind
​
[Verse 2:]
Remember these words, the day when I'm gone
Here are all of my thoughts, I've written them down!
Everything that I wanted to say,
But never said, to you
​
Left of me is an empty shell
A tragic excuse of my former self
I question my own reasons to breathe and exist
I'm dying!
​
[Chorus:]
Feeding itself from every lie
The ghost of my past is still alive
Your eyes would bleed before the truth
The dream we shared, were only mine
​
For the heart that broke and can't be repaired
One final scream for what lies ahead
The ghost is with me all of the time
The dream we shared, were only mine!
​
[Break:]
I want you, to scream my name!
Once more, before we both die!
This time, I'm your everything!
Come enter the darkness, and see what I see
​
I am; the start and the end
I am; your life and your death
I've changed my mind, you'll suffer much more
As the punishment, of life; is yours!
​
​
IS YOURS!
​
​
12. Suicidal Final Art
​
(Music: F. Rasmusson - Lyrics: W. Bergbacka)
​
​[Verse 1:]
What happened to us? Please answer, don't neglect
All the questions that I have; so I can stop to reflect!
Cause from the past, there is no escape
And I should learn, to accept our fate!
​
[Chorus 1:]
These words, these lines
Yet you fail to see the signs
Of my dark and dying heart
My Suicidal Final Art
​
So here we are
We went, too far;
Move on, restart
Suicidal Final Art
​
Death won't give, anything
But neither did you!
Death will take, everything
And that will be a relief
​
[Verse 2:]
The echoes in my head, all the memories of hell
But tomorrow will bring, my bittersweet farewell
​
[Chorus 2:]
These obstacles
That I can't overcome
My dead, dark heart
My Suicidal Final Art
​
From friend to foe
Over night
There's no restart;
Suicidal Final Art
​
Death won't give, anything
But neither did you!
Death will take, everything
And that will be a relief
​
[3rd:]
My friend, I'm sorry,
But I don't know what to do
But now, I'm free
And I know that you are too
​
So here's, the last, that I will ever write
The chronicles of all that I despise
​
HERE WE GO!!
​
Frustration grows, over answers that I can't find
I realized tonight, you’re forever on my mind
​
For all we had, all that now is lost
Your shadow is always near; the face of all I fear
​
The hatred burns, cause I still hear your voice
The anger that I feel, these wounds can never heal
​
For all I had, all that I have lost
Your shadow seems so real; the face of all my fears
​
The face of all my fears!
​
[Chorus:]
What we had, remains a dream
My dying heart, Suicidal Final Art
Our memories, still makes me scream
Rewrite this part, Suicidal Final Art
​
Death won't give, anything
But neither did you!
Death will take, everything
And that will be a relief
​
Death won't give anything
And that's okay for me!
Death will take everything
Because you’re insignificant
​

14. Blinded By Fear (At The Gates cover)
(Only released on YouTube)
• Music: A. Björler, J. Björler
• Lyrics: T. Lindberg
​
'We are blind to the
World within us,
Waiting to be born'
I cast aside my chains
Fall from reality
Purgatory unleashed
Now burn the face of the earth
Purgatory unleashed
Now burn the face of the earth
[Chorus:]
The face of all your fears
All your fears unleashed
The face of all your fears
Born of the demon sky
Twisting reality
Sweet nauseating pain
Is death the only release?
Nauseating pain
Is death the only release?
[Chorus:]
The face of all your fears
I cast aside my chains
Fall from reality
Suicidal disease
The face of all your fears
Now covered with sores
Humanity exiled
Purgatory unleashed
Now burn the face of the earth
Purgatory unleashed
Now burn the face of the earth
[Chorus:]
