nightingale - alone

Thinking of the wood that guards the hillside
It has changed in many ways
The best friend that I ever had, I killed him
And I'll always remember his face
But I'm alone...

I'm thinking of the voices from the parklane
How come they just disappeared
Right now I am back where it all started
And now the voices are calling again
But I'm alone...

And the voices are only one voice
I hear it much clearer now
It's like on another level
Where I can hear the words without a blur
And it seems like that we can communicate
I hear him say he's such a lonely soul
A spirit from the lonely skies
And somehow I recall the voice
But I just can't place it in time
- Hey, you should remember me! It said
And then it was gone
Faster than it came
Faster than it came

I am walking down the lane and I am shaking
Now the voices have returned
And I wonder who the hell I've been forsaking
Who will see my bridges burn?
And I am not alone...
And I am not alone...
I'm not alone...

I saw my shadow move
But I didn't move
I has a life of itself
And it's breathing
And you can't runaway from your own shadow
I'm desperately trying to run away from myself
But the shadow is following me wherever I go
Just like my shadow, but it's not my shadow
It's not my shadow
It's not my shadow

nightingale - drowning in sadness

Darkness all around me, I believe
That we will be together once again
The time has come to leave this dreadful place
I think I've found a way out of this maze

Tonight the moon will shine upon my grave
God has failed. Here's one he cannot save

My life is over, I just can't go on
Nowhere to run, I'm turning black inside
I hope to meet him in the other sky
I've realized I'm only born to die

I close my eyes and ask myself again
Is there really nothing left to do?
The silence in my heart just prove me right
Soon my journey will begin towards eternal night

I'm breathing water, death is closing in
It's cold and dark but I am not afraid
I'm out of breath. There's no way out of here
This is the end of all the pain and fear

nightingale - a lesson in evil

I try to escape from the shadows of mine
It's following me wherever I go
It's like someone is breathing behind
My own reflection has turned into my foe
I hear his voice as he speaks unto me
I am here to torment, you will never be free
You'll know the difference of pleasure and pain
If you're sunshine the I am the rain
Can you remember can you recall
You put the noose around my neck
I won't surrender until you fall
You will obey

I am from the other side
And I have come to teach you pain
I'll give a lesson in evil
From the evil side
You're the ocean that I have to drain
And I have come here to reign

It makes this noise that will never stop
I will be strong and never give it up
My shadow drag me like a magner field
There is no return the maze has been sealed

Can you remember can you recall
You said it would be such an innocent game
You're the offender, and now you crawl
And you obey!

I wonder where we're going
We're gettin' closer to the hill
And the forest of the nightmares
Will we do the same again?

Will he see me hanging just like the way he did
And will he see me end my life
Just the way I ended his?

Hide and seek of life and death
Now it's my turn to see you gasp for your last breath
My friend!

There is this noise in my head
That forces me to do things I do not want to
I hear him say:
I want your body dead
So that I can be reborn, it's my turn to live now
I have been here in this place
that turns hell into heaven for too long now
I will have access to your mind
And I'll get what I want!

nightingale - a raincheck on my demise

I'm afraid I have to go and never return
It will be over in a while

I can't believe I'm going to die
There is no remedy or cure
This is the end I'm going to die

So many things I wanna do, that I wanna try
But they say the end is nigh

All of my dreams are fading away
Why is it happening to me
Life is pain when you're going to die

I never found the time to tell the world
I'm sorry for the things I have done
They might be wrong
And there could be a miracle
A raincheck on my demise?

In my dreams they find a cure
I feel so alive
You find me walking on the wind

But then I wake up with tears in my eyes
My heart is pounding and I feel that I am dying
I'm dying inside

They gave me days, maybe a week
Before I must go to the land of no return

I wish I knew if I was going to burn
Or if the angels will arrive
And show me the heaven I denied.

I never found the time to tell the world
I'm sorry for the things I have done
No, I was wrong it was too late for miracles
And a raincheck on my demise?

nightingale - alive again

I can feel your heart inside me. You are alive like the wind,
And soon your soul will be free again.
I know that I have saved you from the other side,
It's like the evil around me's scared because of my pride.
All my life I have wished for this moment to come,
When my body would put a newborn light upon the earth.
I can feel it inside, I can feel that it's you,
And you will never believe that you will been alive before.
I know your soul is erased, the whole of you is defaced
even though your body's here it's not my friend inside.
I know that your soul will be alive again.
I know It will be around like the wind and the rain and the stars.
And I know that your soul will be alive again.
I'll light a candle to remember who you were and who you will be.
The time has come I can feel the ache inside.
You have decided to leave the ocean sky tonight.
Noone is here to bring you into this world.
I'll try to deny my pain and help you out alone
And then the shadow arise, I can see in his eyes,
He no longer denies the fact that you will be reborn.
I feel the pleasure and pain, like my heart is in vain,
But you finally came and now you are here with me.

nightingale - alonely

I'm all alone
Waiting for no one
I see the daylight fade away

I'm so afraid
I know you're around me
I hear you crying in the wind

If I could bring you back
If I had the power, I'd give you my world
And my life, you'd have it all
But life is not a game
And I know the rules and I know I must follow
them every single day

I feel that I'm loosing it all
There's nothing left to live for
I'm ending it all in my dreams
It always seems so easy in my sleep

I'm all alone
Waiting for darkness
I wish the sun would slip away

I still believe that you didn't leave me
I see your shadow in the haze

If I could have some peace
Ending the nightmare, closing the chapter
And join you in your sleep
But life is not a game
And I know the rules and I know I must follow
them every single day

I feel that I'm loosing it all
There's nothing left to live for
I'm ending it all in my dreams
And deep inside I knew

That there was one part of me
That tried to save you from yourself
The other let you go and I will
Never deny I was walking on the line of
Here and nevermore in selfish pride

nightingale - atlantis rising

The time has come, I am leaving now
Destination: sunken world of gold
I've been dreaming every night
And finally I'm on my way

Never gonna let it go
Always gonna keep the dream alive
Nothing's gonna change my mind
I know I'm gonna find the way this time

I'll see Atlantis rising
I burn my bridges, no return
I'll see Atlantis rising

Defy the storm, I make my way
To where I believe the treasure lies
I'll find the place that I was told
Is where the oceans took it down below

Never gonna let it go
Always gonna keep the dream alive
Nothing's gonna change my mind
I know I'm gonna find the way this time

I'll see Atlantis rising
I burn my bridges, no return
I'll see Atlantis rising

All my life I've had this feeling
That I'm not really home
And it feels like I'm lost forever

I've be dreaming with the shadows of the night
I've been singing to the angels of the lonely wind of the light
They've been telling me to leave it be
But I am closer to the waters where the gold will be one with my eyes

The horizon is telling me that I am near
That my journey is soon to end and my life is soon to begin
I am waiting for the night to come
When the lost world will resurface
When the dawn light the sparks in the sky

I hear the roar the surface come alive out here
Unruly waves caresses my tear-filled face
I can't believe it's true, this can't be happening to me
I never though I'd live to see this miracle right before my eyes

I find it hard to realize
That my dream would finally come true
I'm reaching out, I can touch the ground
Of my resurrected paradise

I am walking on the streets of gold
I can feel the magic in the air
Now the ground begins to shake again
I feel we're sinking but I stay right here

I saw Atlantis rising
I'm going down, there's no return
I saw Atlantis rising

I saw Atlantis rising
I fade away I let the waters feed my soul
I saw Atlantis rising
I am finally home again

nightingale - belief

Now I know
Nothing's ever what it seems
Mummy tought(???)
Now I see Religion screams
I believe
What I hear and what I see
And in myself
The king of my own destiny

The angles of heavens, the demons of hell
The creatures we had to create
Why are you scared to see who you are
Be in control of your life
And fate

I can't see
Why you choose to dedicate
All your life
to assure you went to heaven's gate

The angles of heavens, the demons of hell
The creatures we had to create
Why are you scared to see who you are
Be in control of your life
And fate

I can't say
That I am right and you are wrong
But common sense can tell a truth or two
All those lives
Lost in battle of belief
An it's all because
You were born to believe
In different lies

The angles of heavens, the demons of hell
The creatures we had to create
Why are you scared to see who you are
Be in control of your life

If god is above and the devil beneath
Then we all belong here on earth
There's no one as good or real to the core
But you're never ?????????????

nightingale - better safe than sorry

Better Safe Than Sorry

When I was young I thought the world around could see the vision through my eyes
Communicating through my melodies I knew the world would help me through
Then I grew up to find that all the dreams I had in mind required more then my gift
More of the pain than the pleasure

Better safe than sorry
And here I am losing everything again
I'll never have to worry about the game
I'll never win I'll never lose
I'm not playing at all
Never gamble at all

Many years ago I met the one, and all my dreams of angels faded away
I opened up and even let her in, to kill the enemy within
And even though she tried to keep her love for me alive
Oh it kills me to say, I let it wither away again

Better safe than sorry
And here I am losing everything again
I'll never have to worry about the game
I'll never win I'll never lose
Better safe than sorry
And here I am losing everything again
I'll never have to worry about the game
I'll never win I'll never lose
I'm not playing at all

Oh, that I'm lonely
Without someone by my side
I long for the only person in this world who's a part of me
I'm taking back of all the things I've been going through
You gave me strength to carry on
I'll do the best I can to make you want to be around
I really need you in my life

And maybe I was born to wander through this world alone
I left a good life behind where my heart beating nigh forever

Better safe than sorry
And here I am losing everything again
I'll never have to worry about the game
I'll never win I'll never lose
Better safe than sorry
And here I am losing everything again
I'll never have to worry about the game
I'll never win I'll never lose
I'm not playing at all

nightingale - breathing

[instrumental]

nightingale - dead or alive

I lie here by the lakeside
I am still alive somehow
It's all too strange for me to understand

How could someone see me
In the darkness of the night?
How could someone bring me back to life?

Is there another world?
Dead or alive?
Oh, life is haunting me

I can't describe the feeling
Could it all just be a dream?
I'm still wet and the memories remain

I rise and try to make my way back to the normal world
I'v realized that life has to go on

It's so hard to decide
Dead or alive
Now fear will carry me, back to the world

Another day is dawning
Now my journey will begin
Destined to return to normal life

It feels like I've been out here
For eternity and more
I've lost all sense of time
But I'll be strong

It's so hard to decide
Dead or alive
Oh, my past is haunting me

nightingale - deep inside of nowhere

Surrounded by silence, no-one is here with me.
I am alone, lost and solitaire.
And I have heard all the stories of heaven,
but where is the one I should meet'
No heartbeat, nor breath, only darkness everywhere.

Why am I here, I'm lost to this world, when innocence is my only excuse'
I saw no light, no replay of life, I felt neither joy or pain.
I wish to open my eyes and realize I'm not in paradise.

Chosen to be in the world of the blind
but why torture me with the presence of mind...

I want your body dead so that I can be reborn. It's my turn to live
now. I've been here in this place that turns hell into heaven for too long now.
I will have access to your mind and I will get what I want.
I still have some memories and an image of who I was,
I remember the tree and the shadow and her eyes.
Am I alive or is this a dream; a dream that never ever will end'
I don't want to know.
Deep inside of nowhere; trapped in a world that fears the light.
Deep inside of nowhere. Now it feels like I'm fading,
Now it feels like I'm fading away.
Suddenly the darkness awakened and it feels like it's clearing my mind.
My vision is gone, erasing the one I am.
Depraved of myself, now it's taking my thoughts away,
I feel it's enclosing me now but I don't want to go
Deep inside of nowhere; leaving this world that feeds the night.
Deep inside of nowhere; and it feels like I'm falling,
It feels like I'm falling asleep...
Waking up from my dreamless sleep,
It feels like I travel with the speed of light.
Somehow I feel a glimpse of hope inside,
But I guess it's far too early to tell.
I can't remember where I am, I can't remember where I used to be,
But I can remember what I think right now.
Am I closing in on heaven or am I closer to hell' Still no light around
But I feel what's lost have been found.
Deep inside of nowhere; still trapped in a world that fears the light.
Deep inside of nowhere. I'm lost to a world that feeds the night.
Deep inside of nowhere. I'm trapped in a world that feeds the night.
Deep inside of nowhere. Maybe I'm returning,
Maybe I'm returning to life...

nightingale - chasing the storm away

Seeing it all, but do we really understand
The consequence of choosing to ignore
Or is it just a paralysing state of mind
No one seems to bother anymore
Still we try to keep our sleeping conscious clean
But doing "right" has never been more wrong

The world will spin for one more day
That's what we pray for anyway
And as the clouds turn dark and grey
We are only chasing the storm away
And it's bound to return

Keep moving on
With no care about the aftermath
Leaving the bill for someone else to pay
The future is not too bright
In fact it's filled with wrath
We turn our heads and look the other way

The world will spin for one more day
That's what we pray for anyway
And as the clouds turn dark and grey
We are only chasing the storm away

You can choose all the winners
But the game is not the same
When the rules don't matter anymore
And the saints and the sinners
They will bow their heads in shame
When the truth come crashing through the door

The world will spin for one more day
That's what we pray for anyway
And as the clouds turn dark and grey
We are only chasing the storm away
And it's bound to return
The world will spin for one more day
But we are only chasing the storm away

nightingale - 27

Someone said he gave his soul
To the king of where hell fires burn
And he got the blues in return
A crossroad midnight rendezvous
For a slice of the fortune and fame
But sadly it all stayed the same

A street corner serenade
Spread with the wind to an enchanted crowd
With merciful hearts
Some people thought otherwise
And jealousy arose and venomous alcohol
Was drunken in rage

He slowly decays, the poison dilutes the soul
Bringing him closer to the end
Unaware of the legacy he's leaving behind
And what a legend that he will become
Is it a curse or just a conincidence
That after twenty seven years
All of his dreams would be taken away
But his spirit lives on to this day

His rivals said "he had it all"
Mastery out of this world
Destined to redefine art
Knew how to kiss the sky
He was bolder than love
Spellbound the third stone from the sun
Up from the skies to the top of the world
Enjoying the stardom in every possible way

The wind cries "change"
The curse of the genious dragging him
Down into the dark
Where no one can follow or pull you away
A bright burning star is led astray

Into his own purple haze
The wine and the sedatives
Unite in the poison of demise
And a night in september
His bleeding heart drowned
Now it's his turn to ride with the wind

Like he came out of nowhere
Shot to fame overnight
Changed the limelight from colour to grey
Leader of the sonic revolution

Plagued with pain and depression
A man at war with himself
Didn't like what his world had become
Slowly consumed by the darkness inside
Lost and falling apart
He found the remedy at the barrel of a gun
And as he had written
"It's better to burn out than to fade away"

nightingale - eternal

Anyway the wind blows.
I know you will return
And we will face it all again.
Now someone calls my name
I here the echoes in the rain
Now you have come for me

I can see the dark reflection
I can feel it in the air
The beginning of the end
I hear the voices call
Knowing that there's no hope at all
Soon I will join the dead

When I'm gone, I'm gone forever
I will never tell you
The reason why I left you all alone

Dust to dust, ashes to ashes
The pride and passion
The trials and the tribulations end tonight

And I'm never gonna be there when you stumble
I'm never gonna be there when you fall.
I hope that someone out here will remember (then) to tell you about me.

(And) suddenly the world was filled with silence
And even though the moonlight disappeared
I can see my destiny before me
It's real, no delusion.

I can feel my blood run cold
Oh, the creature I behold
It's got the kingdom of the night in its hands
The world around is liquefied
All the life around me died
I feel so weak and now a power is taking over me

Now I feel his energy surround me
I'm falling lifeless to the ground
Paralyzed I'm fading
Beyond you, beyond me

Shadowland, a place of beauty
A world eternal
Where wonders will never cease to be
A bed of nails or a bed of roses
Your life can end here
Or be sent back into reality again

I realize I'm deep inside of nowhere
The chamber where the shadows seal your fate
(And) I'm sure that there is someone else here with me
And it feels like I know you

Now the shadowman is rising here before me
I can see him glowing in the dark
Then I hear the echo of a whisper
You're over (you're over), I'm eternal (I'm eternal)

We must improve the shining hour
Her soul is laid to rest
We will never meet again
Your life is in our hands
Please live to fight another day
Someone will come for you

She has put us on the mettle
Practice what you preach
We must find a mother to the son
A boy as right as rain
Still far too young to share the pain
We'll find you another home

The cradle is left in a doorway
For the world to find him
If we only have faith in the angels
Someone will take you to their heart

You awake and cry out in anger
Now the world have found you
A hush bye in the arms of a stranger
Maybe they have found a home for you

I watch your tear-filled face
So pure in a state of grace
If the wish is the father to the thought
You are the answer to my prayers
I know it can be true
Someone will come for you
But until then I keep you warm
And be the mother your deserve

Although the world have been untold
It's like the truth won't unfold
Why have you come here?
Why am I the one?

You're bringing hope to my world
And put an end to my grief
Of all the loved ones I've lost my days
You are the light inside

For a decade and half
For more than five thousand days
(It's) you have been here by my side
(And) you have grown so tall and strong
(And) even though I know that you won't stay forever
And that both of us will leave this world one day
Our bonds will be eternal
Our bonds will be eternal
Our bonds will be eternal
Our bonds will be eternal
Our bonds will be eternal

Our bonds will be eternal
