1. Future Shock

[Music by Tolkki, Words by Tolkki / Lassila]

I saw it in a dream
the day that changed our history
I still can hear the screams
swear it was no mystery
In the heat of the blast
Houses fell down into the ground
This happened so fast
Mankind disappeared without sound

Now the world lives in shadow of atomic fear
Can we win the fight for peace or will we disappear?
Future Shock

I saw it on the screen
The day that changed our lives and history
There goes our dream
Nuked into the sky don't know why
In the heat of the blast
Watch the beauty of the mushroom cast
It won't take long
You won't live till the end of this song

now the ...

9. Emancipation Suite Part I: Dusk

I'm staring at the last rays of the sun,
The final night's begun
Shadows fall and hide the earth beneath them
My land has fallen deep into the hands
Of men with evil plans
Times have gone, when peace reigned over our lands

It's time to break these chains and head to freedom
It wont be long I swear to you
I will see I will be I'll be free
A new day will be dawning

Emancipation - I will break free
Determination - Just leave me be

Into the darkness I have been confined
The last one of my kind
Wayward soul still fighting to be set free

It's time to break these chains and head to freedom
It wont be long I swear to you
I will see, I will be, I'll be free
A new day will be dawning

Emancipation - I will break free
Determination - Just leave me be

10. Emancipation Suite Part II: Dawn

Under burning sky
Flames are rising high
Ground is turning red,
All but one is dead
Dying man his hands
Above his head

Through the ruthless night,
Fought with all his might
Made his final stand,
Made the last demand
Paid the price,
His dying time's at hand

Nothing left to feel,
Nothing left to hear
Heroes die alone

Then he sees

First light

Dawning

11. When Mountains Fall

It was just like yesterday
When you choose to leave and I to stay
It was a warm and sunny day
But my heart felt as heavy as stone

Never told me where you went
Then again I never try to ask
Now I know in life you have one chance
And you better use it well

When the mountains fall
And the oceans flood
I'm still in search of you
Only thing I want to say
I'm still in love with you

Finally I found your place
Sadly I came three summers late
Now I'm sitting by your grave
And I sing this song for you

When the mountains fall
And the oceans flood
I'm still in search of you
Only thing i want to say
I'm still in love with you

One last thing
I have to say
I'm still in love with you

12. Second Sight

[Japanese bonus track]

No one really knows
Where this man comes from
Or if he has a name

He moved from town to town
And forging his own way
Without shame he played his game

No allies and no friends
He leaves no traces bahind
There is no proof who's to blame

As the legend starts to rise
The night is filled with shadows
Blood and lies

[Chorus:]
Just like a phantom blends in the night
Making his way in the dark
He's realizing the end is near
Haunted by a curse

Second sight

Looking for more pain
Driving him insane
It's all that he is living for

Excitement in his veins
Burning every day
Fighting his internal war

As the legend starts to rise
The night is filled with shadows
Blood and lies

[Chorus]

Second sight

[Solo: Matias]

[Chorus]

Second sight

A phantom blends in the night
Making his way
Second sight
