AT THE MOUNTAINS OF MADNESS
Music by Jesse Liukkonen
Lyrics by Lassi Landström
Verse 1
In the cold wilderness of Antarctic icy desert
We make our expedition to find the frozen mystery
Discovering life-forms ancient, older than time itself
Slaughter it starts unfolding, six star shaped snow mounds haunt them now
Chorus 1
In the crippling cold, The Elder Things built their civilizations
Myths of creatures gone, At the mountains of madness this evil hides
Verse 2
Decode the hieroglyphs to reveal their stories buried
In conflict with the star-spawn, degradation of a culture
Haunting our exploration we flee the ghosts of ancient
The unnamed evil lurks here, obeying only madness
Chorus 2
In the crippling cold , The Elder Things built their civilizations
Myths of creatures gone, At the mountains of madness this evil
Hides and shall remain, Buried beneath the ice and snow here
Immortal great old ones, At the mountains of madness their evil hides
Bridge
They built their empire. They blossomed in the cold
But never lasts the glory, all civilizations fall
The Shoggoths hunt us like they hunted their masters
An unnamed evil drives us all into insanity
THE FINAL HOUR
Music by Jesse Liukkonen
Lyrics by Ari Balzar
Verse 1
With despair she looked up to the sky and spoke
The fear of death follows from the fear of life
when your time comes live’s a flash before
Your eyes nothing more nothing less
So why do we choose to live in the shadows
And let those to rule us who surely will destroy us
Pre
Humanity is and always will be its own worst enemy
And we are just throwing bodies more and more to its flames
Chorus 1
So take my hand and watch the world burn with me
This is it , this is our final hour
Verse 2
With relief she looked up to the sun and spoke
Our journey on this world is closing its end
And there is no new beginning no second chance
Just destiny claiming back what’s hers
So why do we follow the blind into the darkness
It’s the future we destroy, when we’re not accepting the truth
Pre
Chorus x2
Bridge
Dreaming, burning, in the fire of all souls
Screaming, learning, to let go of all hope
Verse 3
So why do we choose live in the fire
And let our children cry in the death that is our doing
Pre
Chorus x2

NO HOPE (FOR SALVATION)
Music by Ari Balzar
Lyrics by Lassi Landström
Verse 1
Don’t read the signs
Don’t listen to their worthless lies
All is alright
Nothing to fear, go on with your life”
That’s what we’re told
That’s what they say, what we’ve been sold
No threat in sight
I can’t believe we’ve been this blind
Pre
Now rise!
Chorus 1
Reason is a crime, no hope for salvation this time
Freedom just a lie, bury ourselves before we die
Burning to the ground, and fuel the flames laughing out loud
No God’s grand plan, no hope for salvation of man
Verse 1
Is this not a dream?
Wake up from a nightmare with a scream
Oblivious sheep
As hungry wolves among us creep
Burning everything
Consuming every living being
Spreading like plague
Our sense of justice at best vague
Pre
Now exit stage
Chorus 2

MY LAST RITES
Music and Lyrics by Ari Balzar
Verse 1
Day after day I lose myself a little bit more
To this darkness that hides beneath the broken disguise
Destroying all love from its wake
Taking what it wants
Forcing me to the edge of insanity
Pre
How many times can I live die
Before this hell I rule stops
And I have fallen I’ve seen it all
Send me on my way
Chorus
My last rites - In shadows I rise
My last rites - The end of lies
My last rites - Forbidden sacrifice
My last rites - In shadows I die
Verse 2
Wasted my life and hopes to this addiction
Enslaved by my past and fears revealing only lies
So may this be my final salvation
From this oblivion, redemption with a bullet
Pre
Chorus
Bridge
p>Intro
I watch my life wither away
Day after day fading
This endless cycle hides my pain
A shell of a broken man
Chorus x2

WELCOME TO THE WASTELAND
Music by Jesse Liukkonen
Lyrics by Lassi Landström
Intro
In the not so far future humanity has brought itself to the brink of extinction
in a devastating nuclear conflict. Only few remain, who roam this wasteland
of a world. Mankind has descended into madness and cruelty.
Verse 1
I ride in the desert sand
Through ruins of broken things
Scavenger in the wasteland
Hope and death he brings
I search abandoned ruins
I loot homes of the dead
Constantly keep on moving
Better things must be ahead
Pre
I roam alone
Midst sand and bones
Chorus
Welcome to hell
Enjoy your stay in the land of no man
No brave new world
The end of line, enter the wasteland
Verse 2
I ride the night in turmoil
Mount of steel my home
Avenger among gas and oil
Madness is all I know
In here life’s a battle
Humanity dragged through mud
All trace of moral shattered
My world is fire and blood
Pre
I roam alone
Midst death and bones
Chorus
Welcome to hell
Enjoy your stay in the land of no man
No brave new world
The end of line, enter the wasteland
Welcome to hell
Enjoy your stay in the land of no man
Our brave new world is
what we deserve, welcome to the wasteland

NIGHTWALKER
Music by Ari Balzar
Lyrics by Lassi Landström
Verse 1
I flee the everburning sun
And for the night I am a son
Until the final end of time
I walk the earth, the night is mine
I need to feel the evening breeze
I feed to fuel my desperate needs
Immortal darkness is my name
I play the neverending game
Chorus
Step in my web, don’t falter
Come forward, meet the nightwalker
Let in my spell, come closer
Bleed for me, I’m the nightwalker
Verse 2
There’s no more death, there’s no more life
Your warm blood flowing is now mine
I am eternal, I am the night
Do not begin a futile fight
Damned to walk in the endless dark
Feed on the weak, to make my mark
As I plunge into your life
I cut into you like a knife
Chorus
Chorus 3
Nightwalker….
Nightwalker...
I am the night, the living dead, I am the night

BEFORE THE NIGHT IS DONE
Music by Ari Balzar
Lyrics by Lassi Landström
Verse 1
Staring into darkness
Blackened thoughts dwell deep
The twisting pain inside of me
Unable to sleep
Fires burned within us
Consuming to the core
Leaving just this hollow shell
Tonight this ends, no more
Pre
Until first light
Away from the night
Chorus
Before the night is done
I’ll finish what you begun
Before the light sheds the darkness
My freedom comes, before the night is done
Verse 2
Wandering through the memories
The pictures on the walls
The pain in this remembering
Like snakes inside me crawl
The fire dying within me
The one you let burn out
Tonight this ends, this hollow shell
No more pain, no doubt
Pre
Onto the light
No more this night
Chorus

BEASTS OF PREY
Music by Ari Balzar
Lyrics by Lassi Landström
Verse 1
Don’t look behind
The creatures lurk the night
No peace of mind
The fear in you ignites
No turning back
No time to catch your breath
Stay on the track
Steer clear of gruesome death
The beasts await
For you to turn your glance
You agitate
A part of a deadly dance
Chorus
All on your own you pray
Don’t take my life away
The shadows they play their game
All fear the beasts of prey
Verse 2
The cracks and creeks
The terror in the dark
Surroundings bleak
The creatures leave their mark
A long way home
Each step it takes it’s toll
A savage growl
You’re losing all control
It burns your mind
You’re soaking in cold sweat
Going blind
By fear, it’s nothing yet
Chorus
Bridge
Run away boy run, don’t let them catch your scent
It has just begun, run away boy like hell bent
Chorus x2

UNTIL THE END
Music by Jesse Liukkonen
Lyrics by Lassi Landström
Verse 1
All hold your ground 300 men
Against certain death, to battle again
Until the end we will defend
Never fall back, fight ’till the end
Pre
All hail the spartan race!
Eternal glory face!
Chorus
Stranger, go tell the
Spartans that we lie here
True, even till death,
To our Spartan law
Verse 2
Immortals slain, ground painted red
Yet we’re betrayed, more blood to be shed
300 stay, our king commands
Until the end, our final stand
Pre
All hail the spartan race!
Eternal glory face!
Chorus
Verse 3
Our numbers grow few, one hundred and eight
Obey spartan law, the gods seal our fate
Follow your king, show them our might
The prophecy leads us to light
Pre
Chorus
Spartan law!

FALLING SKIES
Music and Lyrics by Lassi Landström
Verse 1
Lay in the trenches
Death in the air
The burning bodies
The smell of fear
Ground shakes and rumbles
No place to hide
Cries echo in here
Where brothers died
Pre
In the trenches we are dying
For a reason no-one knows
The whistling sounds of death approaching
No-one here is going home
Chorus
Death is raining down from the sky
Bloody, praying soldiers stand by
Shrapnel piercing flesh, dying cries
Here our lives will end with falling skies
Verse 2
The mud and thunder
Mind-twisting fear
Don’t move don’t falter
Stay right here
Shells are falling
Not far from here
Death is calling
The end is near
Pre
In the trenches I am dying
Feeling tired, feeling numb
Somewhere midst my pain I’m crying
“Please God let me just go home"
Chorus x2

CRIMSON SHORES
Music by Jesse Liukkonen
Lyrics by Lassi Landström
Intro
Omaha
The shore on which we fall
On D-Day
Such a crimson day
Thousands
On each side here fall
We land there
Into the jaws of death
Verse 1
Step on the cold wet sand
Run forward for your life
Land on the Easy Green
Stay low try not to die
The water painted red
All over bodies wet
Now leave the landing craft
The beach is my liferaft
Chorus
Into Normandy
Into the beaches
Into the madness
Into the darkness
Hope has no meaning
All around screaming
Wade through the water
Into the slaughter
Bullets are flying
Our names they are calling
All around falling
We answer the calling
Into the bloodbath
Into the madness
Into the world war
Land on the Crimson Shores
Verse 2
Head to the german casemate
Duck as the MGs sing
Keep moving don’t just lay there
Need to keep on fighting
Shattered is our battalion
Round up all men you can
The bluffs defence our target
With me my fellow man
Reload and aim your firearms
Hand me the Bangalore
Blow open all the wires
Conquer this blood red shore
Bridge
Into the Crimson Shores we land
Off to face our death our souls they must be damned
Into the Crimson Shores we fall
Off to certain death we now stand here tall
Chorus
Outro
Omaha
The shore on which we fell
On D-Day
Such a crimson day
We landed
And victory we brought
Into the madness
Land on the crimson shore
